7...
so the theme's the great american songbook, and the mentor's rod stewart. we see the top 7 meeting him.
1) chris - "what a wonderful world" by louis armstrong. GREAT song. he's looking snazzy. o. m. g. even from the short snippet we heard of the session with rod, you could tell this is going to be good. GREAT. and, again, VERY nice to see him doing a song that's not filled with screaming. brilliant. great. awesome. lovely. i LOVED it. randy called it da bomb. paula rambles. simon wants to take credit for the performance. lol.he thought it was great.
COCA COLA! paris celebrated easter.
2) paris - "these foolish things" by billie holiday. her mom cries when she sings. ALL. THE. TIME. rod was a gravedigger at 17. lol. it was a very good, classy performance. BUT, i was kinda bored. i dunno. randy thought it was her greatest performance ever. paula rambles. simon was bewildered. he thought it was terrific. ryan thinks simon's drunk, because he's nice/happy tonight. possible. probable.
COCA COLA! taylor saw snl's skit of him, and he thought it was awesome.
3) taylor - "you send me" by sam cooke. GREAT song choice. i think rod said balls. i think. the song can get repetitive, but it is a GREAT song. and taylor does a great job singing it. no inappropriate (for the song) spastic dancing, and clean and crisp vocals. i know i'm not that good with it, but i think he was spot on for the whoel song. oh, there's the dancing. nvm. lol. it was stillfitting, though. randy's blown away tonight. paula rambles. simon thought, after a lame cabaret start to it, it was magic.
4) elliot - "it had to be you" by frank sinatra. now HE looks REAL snazzy. he really is a great vocalist, despite admitting to frequent karaoke bars. or is it because? hmmm... again, a GREAT, classy performance. it's HOT tonight! randy thought it was very nice "baby". paula rambles. simon thought the performance lacked in personality, and is slightly concerned for him.
5) kellie - "bewitched, bothered, and bewildered" by ella fitzgerald. she's kinda dumb. lol. but REALLY cute. she looks great! now THAT was boring. i mean, vocally it was good, but it just went no where, and just drudged along. i dunno. the ending was sort of painful. i dunno. before randy started, she said she butchered it. lol. randy thought it was pitchy. paula rambles. simon says the song was boring, and it didn't suit her. she apologizes, pouts and agrees it wasn't great. CUTE! and then, when ryan says you can't do a take two, she says she won't ut us through the torute. CUTE!
6) ace - "that's all" by nat king cole. he's got his hair slicked back. very gangsta/mobsta looking. he whipped out the ol' falsetto tonight. i hate it. the whoel performance was good, but nothing to write hime about. not worst, i mean, there was kellie, but second worse. randy says he worked it out, and loved the falsetto. huh? paula rambles. and is in love. simon thought it wasn't bad. ace screams of joy. simon thought it was nasaly in the middle, but very charming.
7) katharine - "someone to watch over me" by frank sinatra. rod thinks she was born to sing standards. and says she's fantastic. and he's right. again, a GREAT performance. other than kellie and ace, sort of, everyone were great tonight! awesome! the performance was actually one of her best. very subdued, with quiet confidence, as a certain drunk judge might say. randy thinks this is her element. he loved it and called it excellent. paula rambles. simon thinks she made the others looks like average amatures, and that it was in a different league.
one of the best eisodes. EVER.
