love songs' the theme, and andrea bocelli and david foster are the mentors. they try to teach the idolettes to vocalize, and they fail. miserably. david foster can be mean. AWESOME!
1) katharine - "i have nothing" by whitney houston. WHY would you choose a song that's been sung about a gazillion times on idol before? david and andrea change the song up a bit, and blind andrea tells david she's beatiful. say what? she's got smaller ta-tas than i thought. she's still hot. other than the part they changed, which i thought was great, it was all just ok. i 'unno. randy thought the song choice was good, but it was way too big for her. paula rambles. what's up with her mic? simon thought she wasn't as good as whitney, it was old fashioned, and cabaret.
COCA COLA! yaminians? elliot's gonna sing "a song for you" by donny hathaway. he sang it in his audition, and in the exec-producer round. HUH? a backup singer is donny's daughter. coo'.
2) elliot - "a song for you" by donny hathaway. david's mean to him, but it works!and then he talked about licks. i dunno. it's always wierd when the mic completely hides their mouth. vocally, he was as good as ever, but PERFORMANCE-wise, it was probably his best outing. in the last, like really last part, when he stood in front of the mic stand, he made all these wierd faces. randy hated the arrangement, but he loved him. and he was da bomb. paula rambles. and she cries! she really does! she cries! simon reminds us that he told elliot some weeks back he was potentially the best make vocalist they've ever had, and says that at parts it was like a vocal masterpiece. DUDE! awesome!
COCA COLA! kellie doesn't have a boyfriend, so she's got no one to dedicate "unchained melody" to. and then she rambles about pottery and ghosts. i dunno.
3) kellie - "unchained melody" by the righteous brothers. WHY would she pick this song? WHY???? david thinks she was robotic. and they make her try the HIGH note at the end. DUDE! and andrea somehow knows she's a blonde. the start's key was REALLY too low for her. and the hair was funky, and not in a good way. and it was really, REALLY slow and boring. the performance part was sucky, and vocally, other than the ending, she was all over the place. pretty bad. randy heard pitch problems, and thought it was really strange. paula rambles. simon thought it was like the never-ending-song. and he didn't feel warmth from the vocals. and the music cuts him.
4) paris - "the way we were" by barbara streisand. andrea's impressed with her HYOOGE voice. when she doesn't belt it out, it sounds really REALLY strange, especially in her lower register, when she just goes all over the map. she kept nodding or shaking her head. lol. vocally, though, it was really very good. she had better, MUCH better, but still pretty good. randy liked it, and thought it was pretty good. paula rambles. simon called it old fashioned, and ends it quickly so as to not be cut off by the music. lol.
5) taylor - "just once" by james ingram. andrea called him interesting, and david was drawn into him singing. gross. andrea thinks he chose the best song for him, and david thinks he has the most charisma. he comes out, wearing a tux sort of suit. he sounded kinda flat in bits, but he really is, arguably, the best performer of the bunch, and like the vonz last season, his personality can carry songs through. it was pretty good-ish. randy thought it was the wrong song choice, and it sounded like wierd karaoke. paula rambles. simon thinks he looked uptight, and he thinks it's a hotel lounge performance.
6) chris - "have you really ever loved a woman?" by bryan adams. they make him try to sing laying down. LOL! and that fixes what problem david had with it. LOL! i like the set up with the two guitarists flanking him. ok, so maybe he's the best performer. i dunno. BUT, out of thse left, he IS the best, period, when he's picking the right songs and gets the arrangements right. like tonight. randy thought it was amazing. paula screams. simon thought it was a great performance. YEAH!
we hear the judges talk during the recap. ugh.
