Sorry about the gray text. I know that it's hard to read... but Blogger.com would not let me write in white text for some reason tonight.This week's mentor is Slash... and the music style is ... what else... classic rock! Obviously... Adam and Allison have an advantage tonight. It will be interesting though to see what Kris and Danny can do with this genre.
First up...
Adam: He is singing "Whole Lot of Love" by Led Zeppelin. The band is absolutely HOT tonight! WOW! What pipes! Unbelievable! The dude can "sky"! Adam is definitely in his element tonight. Un-be-stinkin-lievable! How is anyone gonna top that???
Side note: OK... so Kara is freaking me out a little tonight? Does she think it's Halloween or something? Weird.
Allison: She is singing Janis Joplin's "Cry Baby". She should sound great on this song. Very nice. The vocal riffs after the first chorus were SCHWEEEET! I really wish she hadn't followed Adam. If kris had been next... maybe the sound pallette would have been reset. Man... that's gonna hurt her. Yup... there they go. They are not thrilled with her performance. She still sounded great! Simon said that it was too close to the original. WOW! Now THAT'S a compliment!
First DUET of the night...
Kris & Danny: They are singing "Renegade" by Styxx. Great song! Here they go. Ohhh... Danny definitely doesn't have the rock vibe going. His voice is not quiet "edgy and focused" enough for this rock tune. I think he will have a tough time with his individual song tonight as well. Kris actually sounds better than Danny on this tune... exept for the fact that he is so "pitchy". Can he hear himself??? It was just OK. The band was amazing!
Kris: He is singing "Come Together" by the Beatles. He got to play with Slash! How cool is that?? I'm actually liking this... a lot! He sounds pretty good. He needs to "get into it" with the guitar a little more. He just didn't seem comfortable. It was good... but I don't know if it's enough to get him through this week.
Danny: He is singing "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Man... I sure hope he knows what he is doing here. NOT a good choice. This could really hurt him. Michael Johns did this song last year and absolutely NAILED IT! I just don't see Danny going for those octaves at the end. Does he have the vocals to pull this off? We'll see. Did they just turn him down on the pre-chorus??? What happened? It's not working for me. Yikes! Here he goes (holding my breath). Well... they were definitely high (multi-pitched) notes. Not quite the "sound" that the notes were supposed to have... but he went for it. Impressive! This is just not his genre. He is probably safe though... with Kris still in there.
Another duet...
Adam & Allison: They will be singing "Slow Ride" by Foghat. They should have some fun with this now that the competition is over for the night and they can relax. There goes the tongue! They look so much more comfortable out there together than Danny and Kris did. Definitely rock stars! They sound great together too.
OK... my picks for tonight...
Going home tomorrow night...
