(Typed Wednesday night, just never got around to post it on here until now.)
I was hoping it'd be good tonight, since they had a cool theme to
work with, it was better than some others they've had this season.
JayLo looked weird, was that a C-3PO suit?
Steven looked pretty normal, Randy was Randy, weird, but it faded
off into the background. That medley with those two guys from Queen
was awesome.
QUEEN -
Jessica Sanchez - Bohemian Rhapsody - I like the real thing better.
I liked Michael John's version of that better than the original, she
wasn't great, but the black and white filming was pretty cool.
Skylar Laine - The Show Must Go On - The violins were a little
creepy, but it was a neat song. Her voice does shows emotion really
well. Think I liked it.
Joshua Ledet - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Nice guitar, good
band instrumental, as far as vocals went, it was karaoke, and it was
bad. He was shouting the entire way through that, and halfway
through I searched around the past season yearbooks to find somebody
else I'd WANT to hear sing that song, so I had Scotty McCreery singing along.
He was weird, also, but it was at least a better weird.
Elise Testone - I Want It All - GREAT choice, it's a good song, fit
her voice well, and it sounded authentic:Terrific performance.
Phillip Phillips - Fat-Bottomed Girls - Strange. Very
Phillip-like in style, I didn't like it much.
Hollie Cavanagh - Save Me - It was a pretty song. It was good, but
that suit made her look like she was about forty from the wide
camera angles.
Elise flew away with best of the round award this time.
CHOICE -
Jessica Sanchez - Dance With My Father - I learned a new color
tonight: Mom said that was chartouse, which I had always thought was
a pink-purple color. The dress still reminded me of banana peels,
whatever color it was. The song was a LOT better than I've ever
heard it(Seriously, why do guys always sing this?), I kind of liked
it.
Skylar Laine - Tattoos On This Town - THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I
love that song, love the way she did it, the bridge needed a lot of
repair, but that was great. "She's very thick-boned, I guess you
could say....strong-boned..." "HOLLIE! You just called me fat! I'm gonna cry now(giggle, giggle)"
"What's that...? Jimmy just said it was thick-skinned, oh. Lost in
translation, I guess." "I can't believe you just called me fat!' "I
am SO sorry....one of those American phrases I'm not used to yet."
"Still..."
Joshua Ledet - Song Unknown - Boring and forgettable, somehow
unsettling, the only thing I could think of to praise on that was
his jacket, which isn't saying much.
Elise Testone - Bold as Love - Nice beginning, from there, it went
downhill fast. Not good at all. Phillip: "She does that thing with
her hand....it's like she's a sniper, she's going to kill that note,
and all the ones that come after it. And not in a good way, either."
Phillip Phillips - Song Unknown - Weird, but sort of cool. Neat
fiddle playing, that tuba-saxophone thing was odd, but interesting,
the picking/strumming was neat. The girls making fun of him in the intro video was
hysterical.
Hollie Cavanagh - The Climb - Miley's best song(Actually, her only good song), Hollie gave her a huge run for her money right there, I
loved it. That was really, really good. Loved how they were making
fun of her accent, it's always fun to see whether it'll be the
English or the Texan.
This round Hollie and Skylar tie for best performance.
Going home - Man, this is tough. I'm going to go with....Joshua, I
guess, at this point it's nearly impossible to tell who America's
gonna vote for.
America votes weird. This fact was already known, but proved yet again last night. I was mowing, so I missed the show, but my cousin Trish texted me updates. Stefano Langone and Katy Perry performed, along with a Queen tribute band(fancy way to say impersonators), the bottom three was Elise(Good idea), HOLLIE(What the heck??!!!) and SKYLAR(Again, what the heck???!!!!). How can people keep voting for Joshua or Jessica ahead of Hollie and Skylar? It's irritating. Side note, disappointing that Colton left last week, but that was a great lesson in how to leave a lasting impression as you exit the competition stage for the last time. Looking forward to seeing him in Christian music after the tour this summer. This week, though the bottom three was two-thirds wrong, they sent the right person home, as Elise leaves and heads back home. I can live with that.
