From here on out... it's gonna get really interesting. As far as I'm concerned... we're down to the only 5 contestants that were ever worthy of this competition in the first place. With Anoop and Lil out of the picture... it's all about vocal talent. Allison, Adam, Danny, Kris & Matt will have to sing like they have never sung before. This is "Rat Pack Week". I might be showing my age here... but I love this genre... the standards. It should be a great show. Here we go...First up...
Kris: He was singing "The Way You Look Tonight". I didn't get home in time to hear him sing... but the recap at the end sounded pretty amazing. I'll have to weigh in on Kris tomorrow... after watching on YouTube.
Allison: She turned 17 yesterday. What a voice for a 17 year old. Tonight.... she sings... "Someone to Watch Over Me". WOW! I love it already! I'm telling you... this girl can sing anything. Listen to the raspy richness in her voice. I love it! She is singing this like she actually lived during that era. She could have WRITTEN this song! WOW.... WOW.... WOW! She is a PRO! Cut the project tonight.... I'm BUYIN' IT! I'm sorry... but obviously... I can't say enough about this girl. OK... Simon is like OUT OF HIS MIND tonight! That was an outstanding performance. I am downloading it on iTUNES tomorrow... no doubt.
Matt:He has been looking forward to this genre. Let's see what he does with "My Funny Valentine". He should sound really great on this. Well... he is a little pitchy on the lower notes at the beginning. Nice "riffing" right before the build. Very nice... big note. I especially liked the ending (Aly agrees with me.). Lowering the key was a good idea/bad idea. It hurt him on the lower notes... but he sounded really great on the high notes.
I'm liking Jamie Fox's advice this week. He is the "real deal". He real has a knack for this coaching thing. You wouldn't think of him being asked to do this... but WOW... what a talent!
Danny: is singing "Come Rain Or Come Shine". Here he goes. Ooooh.... I likey. He sounds fantastic on this... if he doesn't try to "Gokey" it up... he will do great. Man.... what a night! All of these guys sound amazing. He is really bringin' it now. WOW! That was HOT! OK... I'm a Gokey fan again! Great job, Danny!
Man... this is tough! From here on out... just WOW! These are 5 amazing vocalists.
Adam: Is singing "Feeling Good". After hearing Buble sing this... he is going to have a hard time impressing me. I like the "wurly" at the begninning. Nice touch! Does he have to stay up in the stratosphere on every song he sings? It was amazing... but I am getting tired of the high notes with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. It was strong... but what else can he do? I still think that he is a contender... but... show me something NEW, Adam! What a voice! BTW: If you have never heard Michael Buble sing this on the Hit Man: David Foster & Friends show... Check it out:
OVER ALL... great night!
My picks for tonight's show....
Going home tomorrow night... I hate to say it... but...

I agree, Jamie Fox was a passionate mentor. I really liked what he brought to the show.
I was asked if I read your Blog lately....Only if I need an American Idol recap. I'm not much into it.
