I’m getting the idea that Tommy Mottola is lining up his next young diva bride.
Kat’s eye-fucking the camera is bugging me, and strutting around so you run out of breath is not the way to come across. I know she was trying for showstopper but it did look like an amateur audition as Simon said.
And I agree that it’s getting annoying that Simon gets booed and cut off; I usually agree with him but even so it’s rude. Although I just heard that he gets $36 million a season so I guess I don’t feel too bad!
I liked Chris on ALLC just because he pulled off some of those fun lyrics, but I’m biased. I’m starting to think an Elliot/Taylor finale would be fun–Revenge of the Unconventional Looks!
No kidding. Did you check out those lips? Man, she used to be so gorgeous, too. Somewhere, Priscilla Presley’s real head and Kenny Rogers’ real head are off having a grand time together.
Now, for what really matters:
Taylor: I don’t know what Simon heard on “Jailhouse Rock,” but I loved it. It’s one of my favorite Elvis songs and Taylor did it justice. “In the Ghetto” was good too. I thought Taylor’s version was better than the original. Probably because I despise the original. (That high-pitched “In the Ghet-tooooooo” just f-ing kills me.)
Chris: Great job on the first song. I thought the second was a bit blah, but he picked it up at the end. Though he made a good point: “I sang it that way it was written.” My husband agreed. He sang it the way the song is supposed to sound. Kat could learn a thing or two from that.
Elliott: I love Elliott. He’s just such a cool, hard-working guy. You could tell he busted his butt this week, and sang both songs really well, though Tommy Mottola didn’t seem impressed. Screw you, Tommy Mottola.
Kat: Dear Kat, it wouldn’t kill you to sing the actual song once in a while and not sing all over the place. That’s exactly what she did on her second song. She puked all over it, and it’s a great song. The first performance was just stupid. I predict Kat and Tommy Mottola will be getting married within the next year.
I love the original despite the glurge because Elvis just sounded so earnest. Too bad they had to cut it short and leave out the kid face down dead in the ghetto as another child is born and it snows. Schmaltzy but it still gives me shivers.
I’m glad someone else heard that. I was beginning to think I imagined it.
If Chris goes, I really think I am done with the show - at least the voting and results show. It won’t be the first time someone deserving to be in the finals went 4th, but there’s no one left I really care about seeing win. I like Taylor but not enough to stick around and vote for him. It looks like he’s got it in the bag anyway.
Kat is the one who deserves to go for the worst performances of the night.
I didn’t hear diddly, nor squat last night (YOU try watching TV w/two toddler tykes and Hubby out of town); just going on previous exposure & trying to continue that Mojo Nixon ref.
I still want Chris to win, his stare is quite…penetrating…yeah, that’s it…
They’ve been announcing on results night, so (as far as I know) they haven’t said yet, but if the show follows the form of previous season, the final 3 contestants will do one song of their own choice and one chosen by a judge. I think they might even do a 3rd song but I can’t remember how that one is decided. (by a guest maybe?)
Actually, if someone sings Springtime for Hitler, I’m going to not only die on my couch, but also ensure that said person wins not only this year, but also next year.
