Jordin… I am digging this one. Good rendition of a Tracy Chapman song, looks like she is having fun up there, and the song seems to come naturally, she doesn’t seem like she’s struggling like so many of them do. There were a couple of bad notes, but overall this is my favorite so far. Except I have to hate her for having perfect teeth.

Nicole: YUCK what the HELL is this girl doing with her FACE!? It’s ghastly watching her sing! Make her stop!!! She doesn’t sound very good either… but good lord the faces… just stop already! Ok she nailed a few impressive notes but overall it was teh suck IMO.

282

Oh, no, no, no.

283

This is terrible. I know the karaoke comparison gets overused on this show, but this really does sound EXACTLY like karaoke night.

284

Alaina? I liked your audition, but your rendition of “Brass In Pocket” is… odd.

285

Damn, and I love the Pretenders.

286

Make her stop singing a song I really, really like so badly. Dang, what’s up with the white women?
Crissy Hindes should reet skunk her ass.

287

Karaoke is exactly right.

288

Gina: Meh. Kind of screechy in the high notes. Middle of the pack.

289

I sheepishly admit to loving that song and singing it in the shower all the time. I wish I sounded like her when I did.

Liked it a lot.

290

I liked Gina’s voice, though she was shouty in spots.

ETA: Though I don’t know that you should admit that you don’t care whether or not you hit the big note right?

291

What he said.

Weird interview with Seacrest. What does “hitting” the big note mean if not to sing it on key?

292

Gina is the exact opposite of humble, isn’t she? Still liked the song.

293

Alaina: Definately more looks than talent being demonstrated tonight. She gave off too many of those “pleeeease like me” vibes for me to swallow.

Gina: I like this girl! Her performance wasn’t perfect, but it did have a spirit some of the others were lacking. I’d like to see her do more.

294

Why doesn’t anyone remember Manilow’s version of that song, huh? I’m totally willing to admit to being a Fanilow when I’m belting that out in the shower, and hearing everyone blah blah blahing about fricking frognoggin’ Celine is killing me, ugh.

I’ve liked Gina all the way thru, but I don’t want to. I always get invested in the odd-hair girls and they always crap out way to early and I’m always bummed.

295

Celine sings this song?

296

Way to represent, homegirl!

297

OK–it was worth the two hours of mostly mediocrity to see LaKisha. Fantastic!

298

Ambitious song choice, and not a bad rendition but J-Hud has set the bar impossibly high for this song.

299

I’m biased against Lakisha cuz I think she should go back home to her daughter. But you cannot sing this song ever. Not after Jennifer Holliday.

LaKisha: You GO GIRL! Love you, love your voice, love your performance!
