I'm going to rank the performances as a whole, not individual songs...overall, not a great Tuesday night for me.Storm Large – David Bowie “Suffragette City” & Original “Ladylike” ~ Not the best vocals on Suffragette City, but her performance had the most energy by far, and she played well with Dave. Now, Ladylike was awesome. I loved how she took her hat off. Great lyrics, chorus and all-around vibe. She earned her finale appearance.
Dilana – The Who “Behind Blue Eyes” & Original “Supersoul” ~ Pretty good, considering her torn calf muscle. I didn't mind the Who rearrangement. But, her attitude on the webisodes and the sour look when the other performers do well is troubling. Supersoul was much better than I expected.
Toby Rand – The Killers “Mr. Brightside” & Original “Throw it Away” ~ He's growing on me, but it seems so vanilla. It looks like he's trying too hard. Evs.
Magni – The Beatles “Back in the U.S.S.R.” & Original “When Time Comes” ~ Boring! But I loved his response to Tommy: "Both songs were sung by me".
Lukas Rossi – Bon Jovi “Livin' on a Prayer” & Original “Headspin” ~ Wow, what a disappointment...I couldn't understand a single word of Livin' on a Prayer. I closed my eyes for a few minutes and only then could I make out a few words. Then, the space in between sets made it seem like he just was doing time. Tommy was laughing AT him during the performance, and instead of saying what he really thought, he turned it over to the audience to see what they thought. If Tommy can't find anything nice to say, I guess he says nothing.
I wanted him to do well. Just wasn't feeling it tonight. Flame away.
