1. Kris, Ain't No Sunshine-- OMG, I loved this so much. I was mesmerized. IIRC, this performance from week 4 was when I really sat up and took notice of Kris, so I was very pleased that he chose this song as his repeat.2. Adam, Mad World-- Loved this as well and it's definitely one of my favorite Adam performances. I had to laugh at the drama of it all though. I mean, he did an excellent job setting the mood and making it captivating, but really... the elevator entrance, the slow walk down the stairs, the coat, the dry ice machine! It was so OTT. That's our Adam.
3. Kris, What's Goin' On-- On second listen, it wasn't as bad as I first thought. Not that I thought it was bad, just kind of boring. But I liked it a lot more the second time around, which is usually the case with any performance, I've found. I think my expectations always get in my way the first time around.
4. Adam, Change Gonna Come-- Liked the first part, hated it once he started in with the scream. I mean, Adam has like 15 different types of screams and there are some that I enjoy, but there is one that just sets me on edge and I immediately roll my eyes. This song had that scream, so I didn't like it.
I'm not even able to rank that last steaming bag of puke song. I thought they both sucked because, aside from it being a horrible song to begin with, it didn't fit either one of them and it's ridiculous that they make 2 completely different artists sing a song that I'm sure neither one of them would ever, EVER choose for themselves. And then it has to be their first single? I'm also assuming that they're not allowed to re-arrange it and put their own twist on it? So stupid.
