Halfway through the women's show, and it's obvious the men have checkmated, slam dunked and all of the other sports cliches you can think of. Did somebody yell "theme night" and not warn us? It's obviously country or ballad night and someone has stolen the songbook.
Here are the early rankings, without benefit of watching the show again (which, I will not want to do). As always, from worst to first.
Janay. You looked your age. And your hair was pretty. And I'll leave it at that.
Aloha. What a boring mess that was. I kept hoping for the background singers to become even louder. You're supposed to improve week after week. Not get worse.
Celena. You have feet. Feet are there for more than just holding up your ankles. Two weeks and the only movement we've seen from yours is walking to and from the stage. And, if you're around next week, ask someone else to choose a song.
Vonzell. Ouch. What is the problem with the song book? You took a chance, but you were out of tune more than you were on tune.
Mikalah. I really do not understand the judges' praise for your out of tune, flat performance. At least you dropped the Fran Drescher imitating Barbra Streisand schtick. But I'm am just not getting you.
Lindsey. It's country night? You have feet too. Taking one step while swaying left of center and right of center does not a performance make, unless the song is knock-out great. Unfortunately you spent most of your song in the lower register, and when you're in that register, no one can hear you.
Carrie. Carrie Underwood does Janis Joplin? What? Am I in an alternative universe?
Amanda. Gloria Estefan week was last year. I give you credit for trying that song. The lyrics are challenging, but it was more show than singing. Aren't there any songs in the book that haven't already been performed?
Nadia. Nadia does Wings? My Love does not exactly contain the most challenging lyrics ever written. "Whoa" is not a lyric. Where is the real songbook?
Jessica! Jessica recycles a country song from last season, reworks it and, except for a poorly held ending note-- the one that Diana held halfway into the Simpsons last season -- delivers the only really decent performance of the night. But I still hate that song.
Whew. I'm glad that's over.
Who should go: Janay (please!!) and Aloha.
Who will go: Janay (please!!!) and Aloha.
