No real fireworks last night.
Lisa's voice - when she is singing in her normal mid-range - sounds off to me.
Kellie - Looked very different with less makeup. Song choice was horrible. Like somebody said last week, "I don't need another Carrie Underwood".
Ace- Not rockin' enough. He still has that contrived nasal boy-band sound going on that he SO needs to loose.
Taylor - I think this was one of his better nights. He lost the dance moves and seriously sang his heart out. My only problem with the performance was the song choice could've been more powerful.
Mandisa - She gets my vote for the gutsiest song choice and performance.
Bucky - Boring, Bad song choice, Bad clothes, Bad sound, Blech
Chris - Still my overall choice. Needs to pick better songs. The camera was moving a little too much & could never really focus on his face or words very much.
Katharine - You either love Christina Aguleira music or you hate it.
I hated the song choice. Sounded extremely choppy and off pitch throughout. Katharine can do better.
Paris - She needs different hair & makeup. She is starting to annoy me too. Her performance, however, was better than the other girls. It was just not as boring.
Elliott - He sang well. Again, nobody chose a song that was really exciting. Lukewarm.
The lineup of songs and performances was not great. I think that the judges weren't looking hard enough for talent to begin with.
