This week's performance is the only time I felt the desire to download Danny's song. Previous performances started sounding all about the same--not bad, but not good enough to make me hop on his fanwagon again because there's just something about him that doesn't sit right with me (nothing voice related).
I know I wanted Adam with a different hair style but I'm not so sure I'm digging the Elvis look. LOL. It does do its job to make him stand out though, but I certainly hope that's not the image he's keeping to. I still love love love his vocals and his performances leave me wanting for more.
Allison... maybe it's because I love the original song so much by No Doubt that I'm going into it a little more biased. But the original artist does it much better. I do agree with Simon that the song sounded like it was being shouted. Also, doesn't she get a stylist to work with?? Or do they give up when the contestant insists upon keeping to a certain dress/look?
Lil... Celine Dion is much much better in singing that song. I don't think she did the song justice, but she still has good vocals. I just didn't think she sung that song well enough.
Scott did better this week, but I still think his singing is showing itself to be pretty weak. I hope he can become a great song writer and pianist like David Foster. He wouldn't need to sing his own songs.
I feel a little sorry for Matt. He looked so sad each week. It seems he lacks the confidence to compete to the end with the other guys so I'm not sure how much further he's going to make it... he may very well be the next one to be booted if Anoop doesn't go first.
I enjoyed Kris during Country Week and this week. But I did like him best on Country Week. It's nice seeing him able to play multiple instruments.
I think Cara fits right into the judging group really well. She almost always manages to contribute constructive criticism and does it mostly straight and to the point. Doesn't have difficulty finding the words like Paula. LOL
I love Paula too. I had actually started disliking her starting from a couple seasons back and especially last season. I was about ready to see her go when before then, I would have hated the show if they booted her. This season, I think she's gotten better again. She managed to say "No" more often and be a little more honest. She's also sheathed her claws when it comes to Simon now while last season it became almost intolerable to me the way she jumped at him over every little thing. I really don't mind Paula's dancing. It's like going to concerts, etc, some people enjoy standing up and dancing on the spot like in a club during live performances and such. I feel it's her way of supporting the performers to liven up the atmosphere. Hopefully, this helps to ease the nerves of the contestants by at least a little bit.
Every episode with Randy starting it off with his "Booo! Booo! Boo!" when people are cheering for Simon, that's getting really old for me to the point of becoming annoying.
Otherwise, I like Randy too.
