tonight, Clay Aiken, Candice Coleman, Rebecca Bond, Jacob John Smalley, Hadas Shalev, Ruben Studdard, Kimberley Locke, and Jennifer Fuentes sing.
i don't know what's going on any more... ryan's getting kinda funny and good at hosting. i guess the dunk was pulling him down? omg... the horror that was, and still is, simon cowell...
1) clay - "open arms" by journey. didn't i use to play bass for journey? oh right, it was randy! the banjo playing in the background of his intro was funny. he has such a great voice. i couldn't find anything really worng with his performance. it was a tad bit loud, but i don't know if it's my equipment, the recording i watched or his singing. he just looks so non-pop-star-like... the hair conversation was kinda funny! in the american idol website, on clay's page, is the following question: "who is your least favourite judge and why?" clay's answer? "i'm not stupid enough to answer this question". LOL
2) candice - "Piece of my heart" by janis joplin. she's so cute. so cute. the song just doesn't work with just the piano backing her. just generally not that good. zero stage presence. the vocal coach was right, and they haven't really fixed it. sooo cute. didn't like it as much as the judges... ryan's still funny... wierd... she's so cute.
3) rebecca - "caught up in the rapture" by anita barker. wow, she has big lips... hated it. everything about it. the song, the way she sang it, the way she looked, that arabian princess type belt-thingy, the damn hand gestures. and she talks back. whoopee... she didn't really say anything to disagree with simon, though... paula tends to not know what she's talking about, so the guys usually get it right, assuming they agree with each other. i hate her (rebecca).
4) jacob john - "anytime" by brian mcknight. is his name really jacob john smalley? REALLY? he's such an ass kisser. hand gestures... never quite on pitch. hated the song. sooo boring. the falsetto was terrible. "i respect that... blah blah blah... i need that to grow... blah blah blah..." ass kisser. he has a pinky ring.
5) hadas - "you light up my life" by debby boone. hadas is jewish, so i like her more than others, just of the bat. the last bit of her intro was embarassing. she's kinda pretty. not much in the way of stage presence. some annoying hand gestures. it was alright. it's amnon, not amnan.
6) ruben - "superstar" by luther vandross. ryan's still amusing. ruben's big. he's good, too. despite the hand gestures. just might be the best yet. he and his brother crushed ryan. FUNNY! "who is your least favourite judge and why?" "simon. just because." lol...
7) kimberley - "over the rainbow" by judy garland. ryan's still kinda funny. why sing the same song three times? have you ever heard of versatility? that being said, she did great. just great. the hand gestures... but still, great. the last note was irritating. she talks back to simon. AND IT WAS FUNNY! best. talking back. ever. lol at everything that heppened AFTER she was done singing. EVERYTHING.
coca-cola advertisement - they box, pull pranks, punch simon's pictures. meh.
8) jennifer - "i wanna dance with somebody (who loves me)" by whitney houston. baaaaaaad song choice. pitchy throughout. just plain bad. terrible arrangement. hated it. everything about it. vary nasal-y.
