4...
and it's elvis night! twice! we see the 4 going to graceland, graceland, memphis, tennessee. they meet priscilla presley, and tommy mottola.
1) taylor - "jailhouse rock". they changed the key up. i think. and he starts in the audience. and he's dancing again. lol! everytime he does the dancing on an uptempo song, like here, it is way fun. not great, but WAY fun! randy had fun. paula rambles. simon gives a reality check, and says it was a terrible impersonation of elvis, the dancing sucked, and it was karaoke with a capital K. i think we got ourselves a taylor hator.
COCA COLA! the daughtry gang, chris' crew, chrisaholics... lol. he gets lots of gifts from fans.
2) chris - "suspicious minds". it's his all time fave elvis song. the look tonight is REALLY wierd. i maintain my opinion that he is the best of the left. the stomping was a bit much, and the arrangement was off, but he really is really good. randy said it was nice. kinda nice. paula rambles. and she talks crap. simon says, other than the sunglasses, it worked.
3) elliot - "if i can dream". tommy said he doesn't want it to sound like a bar-mitzvah song. ha. one of the cheesier songs. vocally, great. but performance... not so much. he really just stood there. i dunno. it was pretty good. randy thought he laid it out, and it was hawt. paula rambles. simon thinks he's the underdog tonight, chose an obscure song, and it was the best so far. i dunno about that.
4) katharine - "hound dog"/"all shook up". a medley? since when? she scored big with tommy. SCORE! remember when carrie tried to be sexy and trouble last season? and it didn't really work? well, at least she didn't mess up the lyrics, unlike kat tonight. and the ending was screechy. she should really stick to the ballads. or the horses and the cherry trees. randy knows she had a good time, but noticed she messed the words. paula rambles. simon called a desperate, manic audition. and shrieky. and it wasn't great, overall. yep. she's still hot.

COCA COLA! taylor says graceland was great. and they did something. i dunno. but he DIDN'T ask priscilla out.
1) taylor - "in the ghetto". tommy was very impressed with him singing this. and he's not going to dance. awww! that was REALLY good! he even pulled out a nice sounding falsetto in the middle. not as good as something, or levon, but definitely up there. randy thought the key was right, the song was right, that's the kind of record he should make, and it was hot. paula rambles. simon thought the first performance was silly, but he has now sung his way to the semifinals. you mean top 3? cause the semis ended about 2 monthes ago.
2) chris - "a little less conversation". tommy thinks h can rise to the occasion. it started great. not too loud, and not too quiet. he didn't dance, like jpl. the shouts at the end were a bit unnecessary. but i REALLY liked it! randy thought the key was right, and it was hawt! paula rambles. simon thought the first song was better, and until the end it wasn't him, and it was ok. for me, it's just ever so slightly better than taylor. really ever so slightly.
3) elliot - "trouble". tommy thinks he pulled it off well, but we'll see. he can't really pull that song off, like carrie last season, but he got the arrangement much better, and he did a GREAT job with it. if someone that was actually evil would have sung it like that, it'd be fantastic, but as it's elliot, it was great. randy thought it was his best ever. paula rambles. and she's got love handles. simon thinks he deserves to go through, after he showed personality.
ryan calls paula a stripper, what with her moves and all. HA!
4) katharine - "can't help falling in love". tommy thinks she can do incredible things with her voice. she smiles too much, and the arrangment SUCKS! the beginning, minus the first bar or so, that was REALLY too high, sounded great. and then the band kicked in. ugh. it was a'ight for me. just ok. randy thought it was better than the first song, and heard pitchy problems. paula rambles. simon agrees with me. apple pie and a gallon of cream on it. lol. it was accurate.
