Tonight's show is "Disco Hits". OK... so I am totally going to "date" myself here... but disco music was HOT when I was in high school. I have memories of Rivergate Skate Center... skating backwards through the disco lights... in my long sleeve silk shirts... to the Bee Gees and Gloria Gaynor. those were the days.OK... back to reality...
I didn't get to see the show last Wednesday night. But I can tell you this... I could not believe that Lil didn't get sent home. She must have some sort of underground following that is just out of control. I am so glad that Matt lives to see another week. He deserved the "save" from the judges. That was a good call. After Lil and Anoop go home tomorrow night... They will not need that "save" anyways. It will get very interesting after this week. I am blogging as I watch again this week (in real-time). Again... these are just my opinions.
First up...
Lil: She is singing Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman". I can't believe she made it past last week. This is definitely more her style... but she is all over the place vocally. she is screaming... and I STILL cannot stand that slow vibrato. Auugh! It is time to go home.
Kris: He is singing "She Works Hard For the Money" by Donna Summer. Well... I guess it doesn't have to be performed as a disco song... huh? This is unique. I was wondering why he was going to play his acoustic guitar on this song. He is a little pitchy in places, but it's working. I love the congas and Cajon. It was a fun... original... nice arrangement. I liked it. Cool vibe.
Danny: He singing a song from one of my favorite bands ever... "September" by Earth Wind & Fire. Danny is probably a fantastic worship leader... but he is not bringing anything new to this competition. He is a strong singer... I like him a lot... but again... he's fading for me.
Allison: She is singing Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff". She is amazing! WOW! I'm not crazy about the tempo on this arrangement. This song needs to be driving. The vocals... are... HOT though! Like Randy says... "That girl could sing the phone book!". I think Allison has... what it takes to win this whole thing. Not my favorite arrangement... but she DID sound really good on it.
Adam: He is singing The Bee Gee's hit "If I Can't Have You". Well... we know that it is going to be unique. He is flat at the beginning. He doesn't have the big band to mask some of his "pitch-iness" on this one. He sounds really good on this. Spit it out, Paula!
Matt: For his second life... tonight... he will be singing "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees. Oooh... a hip hop version of the song. I kinda like this feel. Nice falsetto! He sounds great! He never deserved to go home last week. Again... good call, judges! Ugh.... he should never have tried the high ending. He was doing a nice job... and then... THAT! I think he was trying a little too hard... like he had something to prove. He should have stayed down in his "wheel house". It was almost like he had to out-do Adam on the upper range stuff. Oh well... it was still a good over all performance.
Anoop:He is singing yet another Donna Summer song... "Dim All the Lights". I guess she WAS the queen of disco music. Why do they all feel like they need to slow the songs down? OK... here it goes. It doesn't have the right feel to it though. It is sort of a "lazy" upbeat. He is pitchy through the whole thing. Last note was just... ouch! He should be joining Lil on the trip home this week.
My picks for this week:
Allison
Adam
Kris
The two to go home should be Lil and Anoop. Come on, America... please get it right this week! There aren't any more "saves".
