Tonight marks the first outing for our final 12 and 2 long hours of singing the hits. We've got a good looking bunch and they're going to be singing hits from the Rolling Stones. Let's hope that something good comes out of this- I'm not very confident at this point but the night is young so maybe the top 12 will prove me wrong.
Big Mike starts the night off with "Miss you". Well it looks like he's finally wearing clothes that fit which is a plus in my book. He's a big guy so I get the fact that it may be hard to dress him. Okay so enough of the critique of the clothes. I actually enjoyed his performance. Randy loved it. Ellen thought it was amazing. Kara- can't just get too it- she finally says that she liked it. Simon thought the performance and his dancing was corny and a tiny bit desperate. I agree with Simon a bit about the dancing but he's really big and bulky so it looks weird when he dances. Whatever- he'll be back next week.
Next up is Didi- who oddly talks through her teeth and she's kinda goofy. She sings "Play with Fire". It was an okay performance and the song doesn't have a whole lot of words or range. Randy thinks it's one of her best performances. Ellen thought it sounded great. Kara liked her intensity and the fact that she got dark. Simon thought the song choice was good and said it was a solid performance.
Casey sings "It's all over now". It was good. He's just one of those type of people that doesn't get super excited when he performs. Randy loved it and said he was back. Ellen thought it was fantastic. Kara said that tonight he was a rock star and what she really wanted to say was that she loves him again. Simon felt like it was an audition performance and that he has to push himself. I'm with Simon. The ladies love Casey so he'll be back.
Lacey sings "Ruby Tuesday". It sounds like something she's sung before. I think I can read the judges minds and there's going to be a lot of "it was boring" comments. Randy said it was an interesting performance. Ellen said it was sleepy but she's a fan. Kara said the performance was 50/50. Simon said she performs like an actress and she over thinks things. Lacey you could be next on the chopping block but you may have one more week in you because you're cute. We'll see.
Andrew sings "Give me Shelter". I like him but really hated that performance. Randy thought it wasn't great and pitchy. Ellen thought it was his best performance yet. Kara always takes the words so literally and didn't feel any intensity. Simon said that Kara is again talking to literally about lyrics. He hopes that he's back next week. I'm worried Andrew.
Katie sings "Wild Horses". I like her dress. She was good tonight and I am not a fan. Randy thought she sang it well. Ellen thought she was good and the song choice was good. Kara said it wasn't technically perfect but better than last week. Simon said it was a good song choice and that she connected- well done. She's safe.
Tim sings "Under my thumb". The song has a reggae feel and is kind of soulful but he has no soul or rhythm. Randy thought it was bizarre and he didn't like it. Ellen felt it was like she was at a resort. Kara thought his change up of the song was good. Tim replies back to Kara's comment- shut up! Simon said the reggae beat to that song didn't work at all and it was crazy. He is feeling very confident because he has a lot to say. I think shut up and just sing applies here. Goodbye Timmy!
Siobhan sings "Painted Black". I thought it was very Karoke. The best part was the end. Weird performance. Randy thought it was hot!- huh? Ellen says she rises above like Snookie's pouf. Kara thought it was the best performance tonight. Simon agrees with the panel and says he get's her now.
Lee sings "Beast of Burden". I liked his interpretation but it was a bit boring. Randy thought it was dope. Ellen thought it was great and that she was expecting more. Kara is driving me nuts- she said he's growing. Simon says his personality doesn't shine but his voice is incredible and he needs to have a momentand stop thinking that other people are better than him. I hope you're back next week Lee because I'm a fan.
Paige (blue contacts) is next. She's her mother's twin- by the way. She sings "Honky Tonk Woman". This is actually the first time that I could hear what Simon has been saying all along- her voice is strong. But what kind of artist are you? Randy liked it. Ellen said she has great presence and she sounded great. Kara like it. Simon thought it was great and that she hasn't connected but we finally heard the big voice. This girl actually has laryngitis believe it or not.
Aaron (peter pan) sings "Angie" . I'm sure Kara is going to say something about the fact that he's 16 and singing such a mature song- blah, blah. If she does say that I may agree with her. It just seems weird to see this little tiny peter pan boy singing about some woman. It was okay. Randy liked the tender moments and thought it was hot. Ellen thought the song choice was great. Kara liked it. Simon said the song choice was perfect and he sang within his limits. I guess I was wrong about this one.
Crystal closes the show with "You Can't Always get what you want". That's my girl! It was like Janis Joplin reincarnated. She has so much soul! Randy loves her even though it wasn't his favorite performance. Ellen loves her and wants to see more personality. Kara- is so annoying. Simon said tonight is the first night that someone beat her. Whatever - she's great period.
So who's going home? I say Lacey, Tim, Andrew or Lee. Who do you think is going home?
