tonight we'll see Kimberly Kelsey, Jordan Segundo, Vanessa Olivarez, Rickey Smith, Samantha Cohen, Lou Gazzara, Equoia Coleman and George Trice perform.
ryan's gone into the "so desperate it's disgusting" category, in case you were keeping score.
slo-mo ryan man-dwich. PRICELESS!!!
let me start by saying that the audio in the recording i watched was absolutely dreadful. everything i say about the vocal aspects of the performances might be completely wrong, but then again, that's always the case, so... moving on!
1) kimberly - "it's all coming back to me now" by celine dion. hand gestures!!! hated the song. and really, why would you sing a celine dion song? i guess it was kinda ok. there are too many kimberly/kimberley's in the top 32...
2) jordan - "for your love" by stevie wonder. with a last name "segundo", the best he could hope for is second place, right? with a performance like that, the best he could hope for is a ticket home, right? looked terrible. horrible hand gestures. sounded really bad. why was he grunting as ryan was giving his number?
3) vanessa - "out here on my own" by irene cara. WHAT is she wearing? no excessive hand gestures, which is good. sounded ok. i dunno... i was too distracted by what she was wearing, to notice anything else. bleh. simon's "not being rude" again... keith's back! sorta...
4) rickey - "one last cry" by brian mcknight. HERCULES! HERCULES! hand gestures... the vocal coach told him not to, but he still did. sounded good. not great. i dunno... randy was right, the ending was pretty good.
5) samantha - "something he can feel" by aretha franklin. another jewish one! WOOHOO! the skinny white jewish girl is singing a big black woman's song. huh? her whole "performance" was just... dreadful. really... the head movements, the squinting/winking thing, the shapes she made with her mouth, the hand movements. just, ugh... vocally ok.
6) lou - "how am i supposed to live without you" by laura branigan. he has a mob informant's name. he can tapdance, and is a cheerleader. he sings a wuss song, which isn't meant to be sung by a guy. zero emotions, zero stage presence. hand gestures. ARGH! the falsetto was terrible.
7) equoia - "the way we were" by barbara streisand. who calls their daughter equoia? she's not related to candice, is she? both of their last names are coleman... she's the one with the crutches! she's a wimp. i know you can't really say that about a girl, but still. a streisand song? why? she smiles way too much. hand gestures. STOP IT! she somehow manages to smile and look sad throughout the song. the falsetto was really really bad. not that good. she then decidedto talk about how awesome this group is... that just demoted her to worst yet.
coca cola commercial - they do some gymnastics/cheerleading things. then drink some coke, and rickey burps. yawn
8) george - "unchained melody" by the righteous brothers. he sings simon's favourite song. this is going to suck. hated it. i don't know what was worse - the constant breathing noises, the hand gestures, putting his your hand on his stomach, hir the fact that he has one earring on each ear. i guess it was alright, but i hated it.
that michael on the piano thing was disturbing.
