Overall, last night's show was okay. Or maybe I'm just sick of these awful
allergies, tired of having these spacers on my teeth, and slightly
mad at myself for allowing my sister a chance to hack my Facebook.
Judges' wardrobe: Steven - Strange. Jennifer - June Cleaver. Randy -
Himself.
60's Pop -
Hollie Cavanagh - River Deep Mountain High - I've always thought
that sounded fake, like the setting of some forgettable WB teen
drama on Tuesday nights. It was an odd entrance, with the background
singers(what was up with them tonight, anyway? Strange, unusual and
weird all the way through.) and band all following her like it was
some kind of parade. Vocals not great, but they were all right, it
felt too showy, but she was having fun.
Philip Philliips - The Letter - There should be a limit to how many
songs can share the same title, because just seeing this recap
without watching the show, you'd think it was Collin Raye's piano
ballad, which, btw, is one of the best and saddest country songs in
existence. And what kind of group calls themselves "The Box Tops"?
Richie Cunningham and pals? Anyway, did anyone else notice that he
had a new guitar? The song was kind of jazzy, I think I liked it.
Skylar Laine - Fortunate One - That was a high energy concert song.
For a competition, though....you couldn't understand half the
lyrics.
Joshua/Phillip - Duet - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - Awkward,
old, pathetic, and boring. And quite painful to witness, honestly.
Jessica Sanchez - Proud Mary - Backup dancers? Beads? That weird
looking dress? The odd dancing? UGH. Felt like a casino performer in an old spy movie.
Joshua Ledet - Ain't Too Proud To Beg - For this song, it was okay,
much better than I've heard it on the show before. But, I don't like
the song, the outfit was ridiculous; pinstripes? Again, were the dancers really
needed? And his flower looked like a rubber duck.
Round One - Hollie, followed by Phillip.
British Pop -
Hollie Cavanagh - Bleeding Love - This is one of the dumbest songs,
lyrically, that's been written recently, in my opinion. But she did it very well.
Phillip Phillips - Time of the Season - It was restrained, the
tie-dye background was cool. He had no chance on the high notes and
knew it, that was good, very nice.
Hollie/Jessica/Skylar - Trio - Higher and Higher - The song was
okay, Hollie was good, Jessica was off slightly, Skylar had way too
much twang.
Skylar Laine - You Don't Have to Say You Love Me - Miranda Lambert doing a
Lawrence Welk song, which was unfortunately placed over the credits
on some early 90s chick flick.
Jessica Sanchez - You Are So Beautiful - Can't top Alfalfa. (I was born in 1993, grew up watching movies like "Space Jam", "The Big Green","Air Bud", "Toy Story" and "The Little Rascals", which is always what I've connected this song to in that first scene where Alfalfa and Darla are on that date that Spanky and Co. crashes.) She did
all right, didn't much like that run at the end.
Joshua Ledet - Song Unknown - Forgettable. That should be placed on
the special edition AI CD of "Lullabies We Viewers Have No Memory of
These Artists Singing".
Round two, Hollie, followed by Phillip.
Me doing Alfalfa: "PLEASEpleasePleaseOhPlease send Joshua home this
week, and Jessica next week! And can we please fire Randy as a
judge?"
Buckwheat: "Hmm....pretty good pleading...."
