British invasion night is much better than last week
I was stuck in jury duty today but here's the late recap. First off, Simon was smirking a bit too much when he asked Paula if she pictured him undressed. Those kids ;) I was tired. It made me laugh.
Haley needed a lot of spray-tack and double stick tape to keep that top from slippin' and slidin'. And I was afraid that those earrings would get up a momentum of their own and swing her right off the stage. Good song for her. Fun. And she was a bit "naughty" but with great shoes!
(Please, oh please, stop playing the Violent Femmes song for the Wendy's commercial. It's disturbing and you're ruining a good song. Thanks.)
Chris needs to stop singing ballads and get back to being fun. He was singing through his nose. Finally started getting it towards the end. Oomph, those pouty eyes help though. Yes, Paula, we get it, you think he's sexy. Not sure why the judges loved that one so much. Thought it was kind of dull.
Stephanie did not need anyone to encourage her "I'm just like Beyonce" nonsense. Crap! Now she's going to be more annoying. Yay for the band who completely rock on this song. She's losing her soul? She had one? She's very masculine for such a pretty girl. Something about her posture, looks like she's about to do the famous AI power squats. On the recap I noticed that she had terrible phrasing. Pet peeve. Bleh.
Blake is doing beat box. Shocking, I know. Voice sounded good but I'm glad I already knew the words since he ate them all. His voice sound weak on the mid-range/high notes. He's too smarmy for me. J wants to know if he's wearing PJs. Paula's gushing, again. He was better this week but I just don't love him yet. Ryan needs to stop singing and never. ever. dance like that again.
LaKisha might not have picked the right song. She looks pretty for LaKisha but I wasn't blown away this week and neither were the judges. Like Blake the one trick thing is getting old. Good for her though for saying that she would be happy if she looked like that 45 years from now. Take that Simon!
Phil was better tonight. Peter was loving him. At least I wasn't bored to death. He was doing some weird head wobble thing and is never going to be able to pull off the Daughtry vibe. The end was good but you knew the "pitchy" comments were coming. Shame he isn't hotter. I think more people would be voting for him. Good guy. Simon hates him. Poor Phil just looked so sad.
Jordin was amazing. And she's too damn cute. Love her a little bit more each week and wow, can she sing. Much better than Lakisha this week. My pick for best vocal of the week. Gloomy isn't always bad. I would buy that song if it were released.
Ew! Don't you Sanjaya as a teaser for the next segment! Is that supposed to scare us aay? Who wants to see the wild side of Sanjaya??
But...you know I want him gone as much as anyone else but he was at least better this week. Creepy, but better. At least his hair wasn't distracting. Aw, don't cry weird girl. Simon cracked me up. "I think the little girl's face says it all." Ashley is going to turn into a puddle of goo from hugging Sanjaya. Ew. Sanjaya, please don't do that tongue thing when you are begging for votes, it's nasty. And don't squat at Paula again. Bleh.
Love Gina's new 'do. And hey, Gina reads blogs. Who would have thought? Shaky start on this one. Low voice needed to be grittier. Weird middle part too. It was all odd and disconnected. The ending was better but I just wasn't impressed this week. "Moments of complete torture" might be a bit strong but it wasn't great. She was all style and no content and it wasn't even that strong on style this week. She just missed with this one. She looks so sad though. Hang in there Gina!
Chris was much better this week. Awkward weird audience start going on but he got through it. Funniest sign of the night "Bringing Chubby Back." Was he lisping? Really, I thought I heard it. Loved Simon aggravating Paula tonight. He was just still happy that people were picturing him undressed.
Melinda bored me to tears this week. Yeah, yeah, I know. Great vocals but I hate the stage sitting nonsense and I didn't like the song. I'd like to see her do something a little more fun. She can win this thing easy if she doesn't put the voters to sleep.
Poor weird crying girl was up on stage hugging everyone. I'm sure she won't get teased about that for the rest of her natural life. Oh well, she was so happy she couldn't stand it and how often does that happen to people? Good for you weird crying girl.
So who goes home this week? My fondest wish is that it's Sanjaya or Stephanie but I have a feeling it could be Phil or Haley.
