LAST EDITED ON 09-06-06 AT 01:41 AM (EST)*stubborn sigh* Fine. I'll do it but I miss Ryan and I can't help it. *kicks rocks*
1. Lukas Rossi – Bon Jovi “Livin' on a Prayer” & Original “Headspin” - I loved LOVED that LOAP was so different. I'll have to listen to it about 100 more times to tell you if I actually liked it or not. My guess, is yes, I liked it very much. "Headspin" is one of my alltime favorite songs. I just heard it for the first time about two months ago and I've probably heard it more than any other song ever in my entire life (ummm except maybe "Back of Your Car" *sob*). I had Lukas originals on constant replay for a really really long time then I mixed in some Ryan. So yes, I like this song very much. Knowing that it's about his mother makes it all the more heartbreaking. I think Lukas is incredible and man, he was great tonight. When he sings, "I'm not perfect," I sing back, "Yes, you are," every time. The long look into the camera (KimD said it felt like time stopped - was I allowed to tell them that? heh) was ... gah. I don't know what it was but it was powerful. *voting my fingers off yet again*
ETA: For those of you that maybe don't know my exaggeration skills or or when I choose to use those skills, I'm not sure that I've listened to Headspin more than any song ever, I've just listened to it quite a lot over the past couple of months and it is one of my very favoritest songs ever.
2. Storm Large - David Bowie “Suffragette City” & Original “(What the F*ck Is) Ladylike” - Storm was on fire tonight. I loved her original. And I love "Suff City". I thought she did very well. I'm not sure how she was 4th in voting, though I'm not sure how Ryan was ever in the bottom 3 so who am I to wonder? umm... Dave? YumYay! Bonus!
3. Toby - The Killers “Mr. Brightside” & Original “Throw it Away” - meh. I don't know. The original was fun.
4. Dilana – The Who “Behind Blue Eyes” & Original “Supersoul” - Her original wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be so I think my expectations being so low did her a favor in my ranking (this would be more evident if there were more people left. heh). I thought she was really good tonight. Singing anyway. She should learn what to say though. yikes.
5. Magni - Magni – The Beatles “Back in the U.S.S.R.” & Original “When Time Comes” - "Back in" was a straight Magni-like karaoke performance. Was it vocally good? yes. Is it starting to really irritate the ##### out of me and bore me? yes. His original song seemed to be the longest song ever in the history of music. It lasted for.ev.er. I think I dosed off a few times because I remember absolutely nothing about it except his vein. Love that vein.
Ryan - I don't think I have to say anything here but I will. Ryan is an amazing performer who loves his fans. He has reached out to us through his closest friends and it is so appreciated and makes us even more determined to see him succeed. My passion for what he does is real and I am enjoying this ride very much. At a time when I can't say I'm enjoying much of anything, his introduction into my life is that much more appreciated (Thank you, evil Mark Burnett). I love this guy and for that, for what he has given me, I will give back as much as I possibly can for as long as he will let me.
