First up, Danny with Ben E. King's Stand By Me. I hate when contestants do this. This is not a song from the year you were born, Mr. Gokey. Sure it happened to be covered in 1980 but I think that shouldn't be allowed and was a cop out. If I didn't already dislike him, I most definitely would after tonight. I must have done something to the volume because I certainly didn't hear what the judges did. He was AWFUL!!! The first part of that song, I swear he was singing through his nose. I, daresay, he will be safe tomorrow night but that's just because Scott and Anoop are still in the competition.
Kris, born in 1985, chooses Don Henley's All She Wants to Do is Dance. Interesting choice. He opts to do his performance on a small stage surrounded by adoring fans, which wasn't too wise because you can hardly see him stand out of the crowd. Unfortunately, he sucks. I don't know whether to blame the weird arrangement or just his lack of charisma. He's still cute though so that might just save him but seriously, if Kris and Danny are any indication of how the rest of the show is going to go, this is going to be a major train wreck!
Lil Rounds picks from 1984 Tina Turner's What's Love Got to do With It. She had better bring it but I am not holding my breath. The girl can sing but just doesn't wow me enough like Fantasia did all those seasons ago. It feels more like one of those tribute shows you would see in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Note to contestants, any time Paula says you look good, you know she didn't like your performance.
Anoop goes with a crowd favorite (not one of mine though) from 1986 with Cyndi Lauper's True Colors another boring song choice from him. Can someone remind me why the judges brought him back during the early rounds???? He's absolutely dull!!!! He has to be in the bottom two tomorrow night.
Scott for once is not behind a piano this week but behind a guitar!!! He takes on 1985's The Search is Over by Survivor. I can't say I remember this song at all. Apart from Eye of the Tiger, I can't name another Survivor song. It's cringe worthy to say the very least!!! His little rocker moves are hysterically bad and that attempt at a high note was pathetic. I think the moment I have been waiting for has finally come and we will be MacIntyre free next week and after that asinine comment about being in his punk rock mode, he has to go tomorrow.
Allison who was only just born in 1992 (1992?!?!? I feel so old all of a sudden) makes the brilliant decision to take on Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make you Love Me. Sure, it's a bit old for this young little thing to be singing but she nails it with ease. I will say this wasn't her best performance but as of right now she is hands down the best of the night. And can I just say, I absolutely loved that skirt!!! If anyone knows where to get it, let me know.
Another 1985 baby, Matt, chooses what should be the perfect song choice for himself, Stevie Wonder's Part Time Lover. I never liked this song but I think he will do it justice and I would be correct in assuming this. Another Justin Timberlake inspired performance but he has the whole package and I think he needed this performance to regain some of his fanbase. Good job, Matt.
Adam, who had so many brilliant songs to choose from especially since he was born in 1982 goes with a very interesting song choice, Tears for Fears' Mad World. This song found fame especially in the UK when it was covered by Jules in 2002. As you can tell, I love this song and it has profound meaning for me so I might be a little biased but this absolutely genius!!! My boy has to win this competition. Adam, I once again proclaim you King of Carpal Tunnel!!! Speechless....
So my thoughts this week:
King and Queen of Carpal Tunnel Worthiness are Adam and Allison
Who can go home once and for all??? SCOTT!!!!! Join the Facebook group, Scott MacIntyre Needs to Go and let's see it happen sooner rather than later and as he is Vote for the Worst's favorite, please don't listen to their pleas. Throw your votes Anoop's way or Kris' just don't even think of voting for Scott.
