OK, I have two things to say about LaKisha: (1) that dress does nothing for you, girlfriend!, and (2) don’t mess with Donna! I am not very happy with this performance; Donna Summer songs should be sung, not screamed. Rein it in a little, show some control. We already know you have powerful pipes – how about a little nuance?
And I’m sorry, but that dress is horrible, and LaKisha should not be photographed from above at a close angle, because that mess? Is obscene.
Sligh: Karaoke Police. Not terrible, but kind of listless. There are better Police songs than this one.
Chris should do some aerobics training or not walk around so much. Justin calls this breathiness The Meatloafl Appeal.
I liked it and didn’t notice a rhythm problem, I noticed a short of breath problem.
How does Chris front a band? He is completely and utterly incapable of keeping the beat. He’s like the whitest boy who ever lived, and then some.
Plus, he wrecked a perfectly good Police song. I don’t even want to get into it. What have the Police ever done to him? I can’t even talk about it.
Plus, he has NO CHIN, and the so-called “soul patch” doesn’t help. And what is this ridiculous talk about “staying in the pocket”? WE ARE SINGING, NOT PLAYING FOOTBALL!
Sligh does get ahead of the beat. That can be annoying for a band if they’re always trying to chase the singer.
[slight hijack] So my boss was seated for dinner next to Paula Abdul at an event for Hillary Clinton this past weekend. He spent the first half of the evening pretending not to know who she was, and he said it seemed to be driving her absolutely crazy. She kept bringing up American Idol, and he kept playing dumb and changing the subject. A sample conversation:
Paula: So do you watch American Idol?
My Boss: No, I’ve never seen it. Do you watch it?
Paula: Actually, I’m involved with the show.
My Boss: That’s nice. So why do you support Hillary?
Heh!
He finally fessed up about halfway through the event, and she cracked up. He said she’s extremely beautiful, very intelligent (they talked a lot of politics) and has a great sense of humor. When I asked him if she partook in any alcoholic beverages, he said he never saw her drink anything besides water all night long. The only “inside scoop” he was able to get was the fact that she’s trying to talk the producers into taking the show to New Orleans to showcase what’s going on there since Katrina.
That’s all. Nothing earth-shattering, or even very interesting. [/hijack]
I’m an old fuddy-duddy, so this past week was awesome because it was all songs I grew up with. This week will probably bore me to tears, as I know absolutely nothing about music of the '90s.
OMG, I have a girl crush on Gina. I love this song, and she’s kicking the shit out of it. And she looks HOTT in this outfit. Love. HER! (Randy is right – those are fly boots. I could never pull them off, but Gina can. I think I … want to kiss her. What is happening to me?)
Her new haircut is really awesome, too.
Gina=snoozefest. She’s never appealed to me but this is terrible.
I love I’ll Stand By You and Gina is not killing it. My love of the song clouds my judgement of the singer, but I loved Gina’s performance.
Gina: another karaoke performance. The backup singers made her sound btter than she was. That was very, very average.
I can’t stand this song, so maybe that clouds my judgement.
When we’re not Arch Enemies, we are BFF. Really, I love you.
Gina does NOT look hot. She’s frankly kind of homely and she should not wear short skirts.
Holy shit! Sanjaya has been replaced by Sideshow Bob!
My son would like to punch you in the nose.
Holy Shit! What the hell is up wit Sanjaya’s hair? How can we lose him? He’s just soooooooo funny! And he’s certainly coming out of his whispery shell.
Good Lord, I’m loving this.
Holy crap. Sanjaya is rockin’ a 'hawk.
his performance isn’t bad either. I’d say he’s the best of the night so far (which isn’t saying much). He’s the least boring, at least.
Sanjaya blows. There’s nothing else to say. I WANT the producers to step in and game the results and boot his sorry ass off the show.
My son is sure Gwen styled Sandy’s hair.
I’m still laughing.
Haley is giving the laziest performance of True Colors I have ever heard.
I was hoping to see more from Haley, if you know what I mean and I think that you do.
I hate Haley’s stage manner and stupid French manicure. She’s so boring.
I’m hating everyone tonight for some reason.
