Damn, Chris was good! I’m quite pleasantly surprised.
I could have used a little bit less staring into the camera; however, I do think he managed to show stage presence even without his usual caged tiger routine. That really makes him stand out from the other contestants in my mind.
Chris was good.
Paris is outstanding. This is her type of song.
Paris was flawless. Superb.
Paris can really sing but that suit is incredibly ugly. It doesn’t fit her or the song. blech.
Now that is the Paris I saw in the auditions. Incredible.
Upon reviewing my previous post, I note I said almost the same thing as Paula. I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day…
So far, the singers have been able to make Simon happy… who will be the first one to stop that?
Yes, Randy got it right for once: Chris was hot. But I have to admit, I kind of miss the beard. And as much as I would have enjoyed it, I’m glad Chris didn’t perform the song like Joey Ramone – although I wonder if Joey influenced the song selection at all (even if subconsciously).
Agreed. The makeup was a bit too severe, too. It’s like she picked up the baton from Lisa Tucker and has been made over to look like she is 47 years old. Still, she sounded great. And she is still cute as pie, even in a butt-ugly outfit.
I’m in the minority, apparently, because I thought Paris was really boring.
Taylor was great for the last 20 seconds or so.
Yep. Simon summed it up perfectly.
What did Simon say about Taylor? I missed it.
Something like it started as a bad cabaret act, then “magic.”
I thought Taylor’s performance was good, but not great.
OK, riddle me this, Batmen: Who are those so-called judges, and what have they done with Paula and Simon? It’s like Paula and Simon switched cups tonight, or something. She’s on downers – you can tell, because she’s making something resembling sense – and he’s in a good mood. I’m quite beside myself about it, actually.
Oh, Taylor? Eh. He did an OK job until the end, but then he lost me when he had the seizure or whatever the hell that was. Can’t he just stand still and sing for, like, once?
This is the worst Elliott’s sounded so far, and this outfit is ghastly. I like either the shirt or the jacket, but not both at the same time … and those pants! They get $400 a week for clothes – buy some new pants, dammit! At least try to impress us.
I have to agree with Simon on Elliott: great singer, but there’s just something about watching him perform that bothers me.
Kellie’s vocabulary word of the day: lyrics.
Perhaps Pauler needs to be slammed up against a wall every week (yes, I read the gossip mags).
Everybody was good so far.
Liked Chris, liked Paris, liked Taylor and ended up loving Taylor, liked Elliot.
That Pickler. How does she live? Do they have to call her in when it rains like a turkey so she doesn’t drown?
Kellie: boring. High school pageant.
The Pickler started great but she went flat in the middle.
Kellie didn’t suck nearly as much as I expected, but that last note really was bad.
