I can’t believe no one has started a thread yet. Does anyone have any idea as to theme? ---

Seems like it’s songs from the year they were born. AKA 80s night part 2. ---

Dear God, I was a Freshman in HS when Ramiele was born. ---

Ramiele sounded completely off key to me. ---

Romulade wasn’t good at all. I remember when Carrie sang it and she knocked it out of the park. I sooooo wanted to hate it but I just couldn’t. Rom was awful. ---

Ramalama was weak, Pauler’s excusing her because she’s sick, but while I can accept the weak breathiness/hoarseness as a sore throat, being off pitch ain’t caused by “my voice just went byebye.” I implore you to accept my excuse of “omg, i’m hungry and just sat down with food in time to watch” stream of rabble, I’m sure Paula would agree! ---

Wow, Ramiele was off pitch. Really, really bad. Both sharp _and_ flat, quite an accomplishment. :rolleyes: Jason was, as always, Jason. Enjoyable. He’s never going to be a firebrand performer; but he’s pleasant to listen to. Whether Simon likes it or not. ---

I loved Jason. Simon can bite me. I’d say Jason could too but he is faaaar to young for me and that would be creepy. ---

I almost started singing “In the Ghetto” to Syesha’s video intro speech. ---

He did sound like a busker - I laughed when Simon said that. Albeit a very good busker. ---

I want to like Jason but I keep getting a Pickler-esque vibe from him. He’s got this dopey, hee haw thing going on and it turns me off. ---

I couldn’t understand Jason for about fifteen seconds until it occurred to me he was singing spanish, was that ever a well known Sting song and I slept thru that year?! He’s warm and fuzzy but I sorta got bored and stopped paying attention. I think Simon is kinda right, he needs to bust out and grab us, soon. Syesha just reminded me of why she’s here, great job from her, really liked it! ---

Man, I don’t even like the kind of music Syesha sang, but she sure showed she has a voice and a half tonight. Her personality bugs, though. Less talking, more singing. ---

“Syesha flicked it.” Oh, Paula. You have such a way with words. ---
