The women, as a whole, did better than they did last week so, conversely, I hope the gentlemen don't suffer a lapse (since they were better than). Once again, this is a running commentary... I'm writing as they sing and while the judges comment.
"Ghastly, horrible, nightmare" that is how Ryan described Simon's comments. That was funny, especially coming from a guy who finally stopped saying "Seacrest Out!" this season. (Notice the ladies didn't forget to say that last night?)
Taylor - Average. Did a weird squat thing (like Kellie), and had some creepy moments. One of my favorites disappointed me... Strangely I totally agree with every judge, including Paula who "said not my favorite song choice, but you are one of my favorites."
Elliot - Great. Another one of my favorites. But he decides to break my first rule of American Idol, "Never, under any circumstances, do a Stevie Wonder song." But he totally nailed it. So now the rule is "Never, under any circumstances, do a Stevie Wonder song, unless you're name is Elliot." Once again: "Wow."
Ace - Slightly below average. Picked a rather boring song and he still creeps me out with the googly eyes when he sings. But when he's not singing he has a great personality and attitude.
Gideon - Very good. I'll be honest he surprised me. I was biased against him because he kinda creeps me out with that smile, so that's probably why I was surprised.
Kevin- Bad. He was flat for most of the song, never moved the spot he stood on and spent the entire time doing that strange shimmy. Too bad he's sticking around because he's "cute" and all those 12 year old girls who email him probably spend the entire night speed dialing his phone number. Oh and Randy and Paula are officially insane.
Sway - Below average. Dressed much better than last week, but broke rule #1. Tried too much to sound like Stevie and actually sounded like him once or twice. But at least he definitely got it right when he said "Maybe it was the wrong song choice for me." I get the feeling he might be a victim to the "popularity factor." (Being kicked off, while a less talented singer, like Kevin, stays because that singer has a "cute" or "sexy" following.)
Will - Average. Looks like an "Adam" to me (But, I don't know why that's important). He definitely hit that first "Laaaady" but he's missing something. Again, I agree with Paula: Bland. But as I pointed out yesterday, this early in the - .
Bucky - Above average. What's with the weird squating? He's got a decent voice but there is something I don't like about him. Maybe it's that he sounded (and moved around) like Scott Stapp. Sad really...
David - Bad. Creepy smile like Gideon. The trembling voice thing is annoying. Plus crooning can definitely get you kicked off the show, since not too many people who get around to voting actually enjoy crooners. Just not a good performance which is sad because it sounds like he has a good voice.
Chris - Average. Picked a song, I abashedly admit, I like: Fuel's "Hemmorage". But he did the trembling voice thing, and sounded worse than the original (which, as everyone points out, is a bad thing). And now after hearing the judges, I think they are all insane. Simon chided some guys for sounding like karaoke, and Chris definitely sounded like karaoke... He's crazy.
And now here are my rankings from best to worst: Elliot, Gideon, Bucky,Taylor, Chris, Will, Ace, Sway, David, Kevin.
Once again, though, I'm not picking my bottom two to be the two to leave. I'm guessing Sway and David will be gone, because Kevin has a following... crap, even most of the judges love him. Ace and Will are probably in some danger, but they both should have a strong voting block for being "cute" and young, respectively.
