The Great American Songbook
I have all of these CDs, I love the series and I love the way Rod Stewart sings these songs, so I'm curious what the contestants will do.
The night started off with Chris singing What a Wonderful World. I think he has an amazing voice and is my pick for the overall winner, and he did not disappoint tonight. He's great.
This is totally Paris' genre. I think her voice was made for this type of singing. She sang Foolish Things really well. But her costume makes her look like a secretary. The look is too old for her.
Taylor came out with You Send me. While he was good, the song was a bit repetitive and was - as the judges say - safe. Except for the last 3 seconds, he really didn't show off his personality.
Elliot must be growing on me. He's still hard on the eyes, but I thought he did ok with It Had To Be You.
Kelly came out starting Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered and, unlike the judges, I think it suited her voice. However she just stood there like a statue and showed no personality at all. This is one of my faves that Rod Stewart does, so its hard for me to love another rendition. I agree with Simon, she started out really strong, but then just poofed out for me.
Ace surprised me with That's All. I thought he was really good. I didn't love the slicked back look, but I loved how he mixed up the song a bit. I don't really feel like anyone else really did that throughout their song (except maybe Chris did a bit - but that could have just been a byproduct of his voice). I disagree with the judges, I wouldn't want to hear him sing an entire song in falsetto. I think he knocks it out when he does that, but an entire song would grate on my last nerve.
Katherine blew me away. She sounded like she sang Someone To Watch Over Me her whole life. She came across sweet and sultry at the same time.
If I picked a bottom 2, it would be Taylor and Kelly. If I added a bottom 3, then I'd through Elliot in the mix.
Unfortunately, even though I'm ready to see Paris leave, she did well this week, so she's staying put for awhile.
Season 5 has some strong singers.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!!!! So I set my VCR but forgot to change the channel to FOX. So I totally missed this… Linda - can you add it to my CD? And HOUSE too? =)
And I am typing this at 4:09am. I just got home from work. another ARRRRRGH! LOL
Talk to yall later... got to catch a couple of hours of sleep before its back to make the dougnuts…
Mere - You missed a great show last night. Everyone brought there "A" game last night.
Chris started the show and blew me away. I didn't think he would've pull off a ballad but he proved me wrong. Love him - He is definitely a winner in my book with or without Am. Idol.
Paris - yes,looked a bit secretarish, but the look worked for her. She did a fantastic job and I agree with Paula if she were to make a record in the jazzy genre she will do very well. Ever notice that Paris never say anything other than "Thank You" - even if the comments are negative.
Taylor - Started a bit safe and boring. But, he ended it BIG. I loved it. I think Rod gave him the best advice, which was to be himself and dance on stage inspite of what Simon thinks.
Elliot - It was a very boring and unentertaining performance. I think hs should prepare to be in the bottom 3 tonight.
Kelly - She was by far the worst last night. But I will give her credit, she did admit that she butchered the song.
Ace - I agree Lin, singing in Falsetto would annoy me too. I think he did an ok job, but I don't think that performance is going to save him tonight.
Katherine - They saved the best for last. She was Amazing. She reminds me of a seasoned (as simon would say) broadway starlet. She has such natural talent.
I throughly enjoyed last nights show. My favorite of the night were Kat, Paris, Chris and Taylor.
Bottom 3 will be Ace, Elliot and hopefully and rightfully Kelly based on her performance, but I think she will be saved from the bottom 3 and Taylor will be in her place instead.
BTW - How cute was Rod Stewarts son. God bless that man - in his 60's and still popping out babies.
