What an amazing night tonight was. Top 12 all singing and only 11 will go on. I must first say I am so impressed with Ryan Seacrest who was such a comforting figure. What a great host.
Well who did well and who did not? To be fair, tonight was Stevie Wonder night and truth be told, his songs are like Elton John's songs; definitely very difficult to sing and worse still, all contestants sounded not that great except for 3 or 4. Let's start with the great ones.
I was so worried for Taylor Hicks but MAN! This man pulled it off! He sang the song his own style, strut around the stage with great style and did some weird dancing. Simon said he looked like a drunken dad singing at a wedding party. Now we may think's that an insult but imagine that scene; that would mean only fun performance and Simon said with a difference; he could sing! He makes me love that song! Best performance because uniquely his.
Bucky managed to make Stevie Wonder song sound rock and great rock if you ask me. But I am afraid the audience may not like him because somehow, I just got this feeling he's not very well liked. This competition has 2 rockers, and Bucky is really the only original one. What an amazing performance.
Elliott Yamin didn't do too well and the fault lies with the song, not with his technique. His voice was flawless though and very soothing.
Mandisa, Katharine and Paris totally did very well in this competition and I thought they were unique.
The girl the judges liked very much was Lisa and Melissa. The former was cute but she was boring. I was wondering when she was ending the song. Melissa had sore throat and went off key several times. She forgot the lyrics! And when I heard her sing Lately, I thought the song was so familiar and then I remembered; John Stevens sang that song and guess what? John did it a million times better. Melissa butchered that song. She was horrible but the judges loved her. The judges were rather lenient tonight.
Kevin Covais frankly was bad but like Randy said, he was entertaining. I mean who would have thought he would sing Part Time Lover? I hated his singing but between him and Ace Young, I want Ace Young to go.
Ace Young was truly absolutely uninspiring and horrible. He was I can't describe the word except to say please get him out of this competition!
Chris Daughtry sang the rock version of Stevie Wonder song which was reportedly sang by Red Hot Chillie Peppers. You want to know the truth? How come he could have his song rearranged like rock and Bucky had to sing rock using his voice only? Why the double standard? I believe Chris sang like Red Hot Chillie Peppers though I have never heard that song. I am beginning to think he is quite simply a copycat. Bucky deserves more recognition because he truly sang the song his own style.
But the worst of the night was the most cutest and bubbly one that I find it hard to see her go. Kellie was flat, toneless and the song went on and on and on and I almost fell asleep.
So my prediction? My hope is to see either Ace Young, Kevin Covais, Melissa or Chris Daughtry to go but people love Ace, Kevin is frankly cute tonight because he sang a song nobody thought he would sing (I was laughing AT him rather than WITH him but that's still entertainment value), Melissa seems likeable although I hate someone who forgets the lyrics and said it so and Daughtry was a copycat. But I have a feeling, it would be either
Kelly Pickler
Deserving to get kicked out but she's so likeable, so sorry to see her go
OR
BuckyBased on merit alone, no way BUT I just have this dreaded feeling
OR
Melissa
She was horrible because I kept thinking about John Steven's version of Lately but she may stay since viewers may be a bit deaf tonight
OR
Ace Highly unlikely but still hoping
My first choice will be Kellie.
Oh man, Taylor Hicks rocks!!
RESULTS
Totally unexpected but well well well I kinda predicted it! The last 3 were Ace (people booed, I cheered but well Kevin survived), Melissa and Lisa (surprise! surprise!). For a moment I thought there goes Bucky but hey! He survived and I was like so happy! Guess who got kicked out? Of course not Ace. Looks count, a lot. Certainly not Lisa, since cuteness counts too! So like I predicted, it was Melissa. I suspect it may be because ...
