I walked in on James ...Last night was interesting. I walked in on James just after he began "Closer To the Edge", and I must say, I could not wait for it to be finished. It sounded so off and I really disliked the song choice. "Without You", while a nice song (and should have been credited to the songwriters Pete Ham/ Tom Evan of Badfinger-one of my fav teams), missed the mark for me tonight. While I hate to say it, I was disappointed by both song choices and the delivery.<br /><br />Jacob's first song...ick. Enjoyed his vocals on "Love Hurts" but the arrangement was weird for with the harp and brass. Overall, I think he had two wrong song selections...though he sang his heart out on LH...love that. <br /><br />I think Lauren is such a great kid. She did a good job last night...and I agree the abbreviated song versions are painful.<br /><br />Thought Scotty's Mongomery Gentry song kicked ass. His Willie tune was boring...poor song choice for me. I'm sure he could have found another classic song that slowed it down a bit while still being vocally interesting.<br /><br />I thought Haley's Lady Gaga song was a fine choice. It was strange that the judges were all over her for that tune, and were much kinder to some of the others who experienced some vocal glitches in their performances earlier. I loved the arrangement of "The House...Sun"...She sang it great.<br /><br />I think the bottom three tonight, based on this week, should be James, Jacob, and Lauren...which you know, pains me to admit that, since I like them the better out of the remaining 5. I just thought Scotty and Haley did the best last night. I really don't know who should be voted off though...one of the guys, I guess...?...<br /><br />I predict America will give Jacob the boot over James though...I think the voters are too emotionally tied to James...cdecotishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15054069490788138440noreply@blogger.com
