Constantine is so much better when he tones the smug factor down.

So… as long as Constantine doesn’t do rock, he’s ok…

If Constantine weren’t so … _whatever_ he is … he’d be smokin’ effin’ hot. _Dee- **yamn**!_ He knows how to pick a song, doesn’t he (“Kiss from a Rose” notwithstanding)?

I think Connie is savvy enough to have figured out pretty quickly that he was getting totally pwn3d by Bo in the “rocker” category and just decided to drop the pose and be the musical theater guy he really is.

BTW, did Randy compliment Scott’s range? He sounded the same as he did every week!

They didn’t let Constantine do a song from Rent?

He probably had to pick something old. It seems that way to me.

Not a fan of Carrie’s dress, so I’d like to see her out of it.

Am I the only one who thought Carrie was just “meh”? Simon is right: that song _is_ mind-numbingly boring. God, she is so Stepford, and I think I am starting to hate her.

Vonzell? ROCKED.

I was hoping Vonzelle would do And I Am Telling You from Dreamgirls.

Does she know the range that Vonzell sang in?

I don’t care how hard it is to hit that E-flat. That song SUCKS!

“Climb Ev’ry Mountain” is much better when Eric Idle sings it in the Monty Python “Election Results” sketch. Gaah - Anthony makes me want to hurl. High note was OUCH!

The Hole is so distracting. Not that good.

You know, I’ve never noticed the hole…

Paula’s stoned, first she told Vonzell “You sang that higher than Whitney!” a few weeks ago, and now she’s telling her “Even Babs can’t hit that note!” Oh, really? She of the famous 4+octave range, hmm Paula? :rolleyes:

Smirky was totally in his element, I love Randy’s switch from “We gots rockers!” to “I never really bought you in the ‘rock’ thing dawg, this is you” instead.

Sucks that Carrie delivers a flawless performance and gets less props than Scott’s out of tune one, really bad song selection for her.

Okay, I love Sound of Music, but couldn’t help thinking AFed looked like one of the Nazis! :smack:

Nikko can’t sing. He’s fooling everybody with tricks.

Not a song I would have expected from Nikko. Color me impressed. He gets a vote from me for that alone. Wish the soloist would have had this arrangement when she sang this song at my wedding.
