Thanks. I’m glad Casey made it. he’s the only one I’m finding at all interesting right now, and it’s cool to see someone turn the bass into a glory instrument.
Then you might like this - Stanley Clarke Upright Bass Solo.
This is also very cool, but it’s with cellos:
Dueling Cellos - Smooth Criminal. It’s awesome. It’s been linked before in another thread, so maybe you’ve seen it. If not, it’s worth your time.
Btw, I am so glad that Doucheglasses is gone. I don’t know what it was about him, but he invoked irrational hatred in me. And when he was booted he didn’t look very gracious about it, either.
The guy’s probably a saint, and he really was one of the better singers, but man you just wanted to slap those glasses right off his face. That’s some powerful anti-charisma he had going.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought of Geddy Lee.
I also want to say that Doucheglasses is the most apropos insult nickname in all of history.
It’s not oversinging I’m worried about - If oversinging causes physical or mental trauma, I’m pretty sure Syesha Mercado would have spontaneously exploded somewhere during Season 8.
I’m thinking more about how, after he finished singing “God Bless the Child” he seemed to have some kind of weird nervous breakdown. If you remember that, he went running off the stage, through the crowd, out the back door of the theater, and then collapsed into the arms of his family while crying uncontrollably. It was weird to say the least. Either he’s a savant who sings with so much internal passion it turns him into a trembling wreck when he’s done, or it was a great act, or he’s a few warbles short of a diva in the brainpan department. I haven’t quite figured the guy out yet.
Did it really need the first one?
Why oh why is Haley still there?
Glad the Bug is gone.
I’ve never heard of Paul Brandt before, but Scotty does sound like someone I’ve heard before. One of the Hank Williamses, perhaps?
I join others in giving Brett props for taking in poor Jaycee, but, overall, he gave me a vibe of largely doing this so he could stick it to people who had made fun of him in the past. Yes, I know a lot of contestants have that in their past – Clay, for instance – but Brett really seemed to be on a mission.
I kept calling him Green Mile because that little breakdown reminded me SO MUCH of John Coffey after he sucked in all the cancer and breathed it out into the psycho warden. It was like he was just totally spent afterwards.
I seriously thought Doucheglasses was going to fall over when he didn’t make it.
Oh, and Casey is overrated. There, I said it.
