[EmoJoe]

[David]

Aw, no waving-introduction :(

[Cactus Jack]

Taylor was ok

[KissMyGrits]

My thoughts exactly! I wasn't impressed and I like Taylor!!

[EmoJoe]

Taylor Hicks

"Take Me Home"- Taylor Hicks

OH WOW I ACTUALLY KNOW THIS SONG! Ehh I agree with Kenny, he looks uninterested. It's sorta boring. His worst yet, probably. He's putting like nothing in to it... 7/10

Randy: The vocal was just ok. Not that exciting. You didn't show your personality.
Paula: The song choice didn't allow you to shine. I expected more.
Simon: It was safe, boring, and lazy. It sounded like no rehersal.

ouch, even paula didnt like it!

[KissMyGrits]

Mandisa wasn't much better.......

[EmoJoe]

Mandisa

"Any Man of Mine"- Shania Twain

it has lotsa words though.

hmm, its pretty good. better then last week but i still don't think it's her absolutle best. it ends much better then it begins. so i'll give her an 8/10.

Randy: Weird song choice, it wasnt quite connecting, but you brought it at the end. I liked the last 4-seconds...
Paula: You can sing "the phone book", your voice is amazing, i don't know about the song
Simon: Horrible song. It was fun and cutesy, but I liked the 4 seconds after-wards.

[KissMyGrits]

Mandisa

i dont know what song, they never said...

it has lotsa words though.

hmm, its pretty good. better then last week but i still don't think it's her absolutle best. it ends much better then it begins. so i'll give her an 8/10.

Randy: Weird song choice, it wasnt quite connecting, but you brought it at the end. I liked the last 4-seconds...
Paula: You can sing "the phone book", your voice is amazing, i don't know about the song
Simon: Horrible song. It was fun and cutesy, but I liked the 4 seconds after-wards.

It was Any Man of Mine-By Shania Twain

[EmoJoe]

Eliott Yamin

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

ehh its sorta slow and boring. its ok and gets better at the end. 8/10

Randy: That was HOT!!!
Paula: You're humble, you pick the right songs, fantastic.
Simon: It was a good song choice, but not a great vocal. Safe and hesistant. You looked nervous.

[EmoJoe]

It was Any Man of Mine-By Shania Twain

[EmoJoe]

[Cactus Jack]

Mandisa and Elliott were AWESOME!!!

[KissMyGrits]

My favorites are Mandisa and Elliott so far!!

[EmoJoe]

"Paris Bennett"

"How Do I Live"

hmm, its ok. why is it that on country night, they ALWAYS pick ballads though?!? its actually pretty good though. 8.5/10

Randy: Just "aight" tonight.
Paula: I didn't feel like you connected with the song. You didn't own the stage
Simon: I disagree with Paula ( :eek: ). It was very good, excellent choice of song. It reminded me of early Dionne Warwick

i agree with simon, actually!

[KissMyGrits]

I agree with you.. I actually like that song.

[EmoJoe]

Ace Young

"Tonight, I Wanna Cry"

good vocal but it's pretty boring throughout. he sits on a chair the whole time. 7.5/10

Randy: It was nice but really boring. You showed some falsetto at the end though
Paula: You always pick the right song. Your falsetto showed who you are.
Simon: Tonight you chose the right song.

o_O i agree with randy

[David]

Oops, I'm back. :lol:

It's been a pretty boring night so far. I wouldn't say bad, but the songs they've chosen have all been pretty eh.

Taylor did actually pretty okay I thought.
Mandisa didn't do too well.
Elliott's song was boring, but he sang it well.
Paris, imo, was better than Randy said.
Ace was boring too.

I guess it's one of those "anyone can land in the bottom 3" weeks.

[EmoJoe]

^like last week -____________- this year hasnt really had an "OMG AWESOME!!!" week yet though, usually at this point we have one

Rankings

1. Paris
2. Eliott
3. Mandisa
4. Ace
5. Taylor :eek:

Paula: You could sink your teeth into this one, good job
Simon: Bad song choice, but you performed it wellI like that song alot, I'm not even a big country fan but I bought Reba's CD awhile back just for that song. I think that's a good song for Kellie.

[I Love John Ritter]

I actually like Elliott!! I thought it was a good song and he sang it well!!

I think Simon just doesn't like country music!! LOL!!

Michelle
I really liked his performance too! Plus, I love the song that he sang. I thought he was one of the best tonight.

Anyway, here is what I thought about tonight.

Taylor- Ouch, that was a really bad perfomance. It sounded kind of sqeaky to me. This is probably the worst I've seen from him.

Mandisa- I didn't like the song choice for her, and I thought she gave an average performance.

Elliot - I thought he did an awesome job, and I love that song.

Ace- I really am not an Ace fan, but I thought he did a very good job tonight. The song choice was good for him, too.

Kellie - I have always hated this song. She did an ok job with the song, IMO.

Paris - I thought the song choice was good for her, and I thought she did a pretty nice job. There were a few parts where she was having a hard time singing, though.

Chris- It was very nice seeing something different from him. He did a pretty good job.

Katharine-I didn't like the song, and I didn't like her performance.

Bucky- I thought he did a very nice job and the song choice was great for him.

So, I thought the best performances tonight were Elliot, Bucky, and Ace. I'm sorry to say, but I think Taylor did the worst tonight.

[Karen*]

Chris, Elliott, Katharine, and Paris all OWNED it tonight! :thumbsup:

Everyone else was just okay or eeehhhhh...

According to dialidol.com Ace, Elliott and Mandisa are in the bottom 3 tonight. Or at least 2 of them. Mandisa has the lowest voting. Last week they got it right with Katherine in the bottom3 and Lisa going home. The site isn't allow to tell us who is going home but is allow to show who is in the bottom 3. The producers allow the webmaster to keep it up. So if it's right this week, Mandisa will be going home tonight. But I'm not going to predict that because I have someone else in mind that might be going home.
