Ugh. I love the concept of "Year You Were Born" week, but by now, it's nearly all 80s songs, and I'm not the biggest 80s fan.

I'd either hate Allison or love Allison if she did "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover." That's a vintage 90210 jam!

Krisalicious · 04-07-2009, 08:09 PM

Danny - LOVED IT. This is a good start...

EmoJoe · 04-07-2009, 08:18 PM

Danny sucked. i hated that arrangement and all i could think of was David's performance of that song last year and on tour which beats Danny's x32409834209423.

Kris chose the wrong song, not a good performance.

Krisalicious · 04-07-2009, 08:18 PM

Kris - Ew. Poor song choice. He's so much better than that.

EmoJoe · 04-07-2009, 08:22 PM

Lil - pretty good vocally, but the performance itself was blah. i think she's officially just fodder at this point. she started off as a promising Mary J Blidge-type but now she's just another typical AI diva. i think she still has potential but she's choosing to sing typical "diva" songs and it's just like a "been there, done that" thing at this point.

Krisalicious · 04-07-2009, 08:25 PM

Lil - Weirdly enough, I agree with everything the judges said. She's a really good singer but she just isn't very original. Reminds me of.. LA TOYA LONDON anyone? She has potential but as of right now she's just a really good karaoke singer.

EmoJoe · 04-07-2009, 08:34 PM

Anoop - this was pretty good but he's not really all that impressive to me, i don't see much potential in him honestly. however this was probably the best performance so far.

Krisalicious · 04-07-2009, 08:35 PM

Anoop - Sang really well. Good arrangement. I think he is improving a lot.

JulieSomoski · 04-07-2009, 08:40 PM

I feel bad for Lil. She has a great voice, and I thought it was a good performance. They keep telling her to be more original, more contemporary, but with only getting to choose songs for her birth year, it's hard to do that. Hopefully she'll get through next week, and get the chance to be more contemporary, because that's when she's best.

Everyone else was on the same level - good, nothing special so far.

Cactus Jack · 04-07-2009, 08:44 PM

Danny wasnt too bad, Archie was TONS better at it.

Kris pretty good

Lil-agree with judges and Joe

Anoop-Awesome

Scott-great

EmoJoe · 04-07-2009, 08:44 PM

Scott - i'm glad he changed it up but it was sort of awkward. you could tell he wasn't comfortable without the piano and there were some really bad notes. that said, it was a decent performance, but nothing outstanding.

EmoJoe · 04-07-2009, 08:50 PM

Allison - definitely the best so far tonight, i really liked that. i don't like her style but again...she's the most marketable by far.
