I had high hopes for the men last night after the fiasco of women’s night on Tuesday. But the men were awful. Just awful. The only bright spots were Taylor Hicks, Elliott Yamin, and Chris Daughtry (who was electrifying last night). Taylor’s song may have been a boring song, but I think that song highlighted the fact that Taylor is not just a Ray Charles/Joe Cocker imitation. I think that’s what he’s trying to prove over the past two weeks. So I think the judges were wrong to criticize him. If he had stayed in his Ray/Joe style he would have been booted last week.
I think Elliott can sing anything. He’s got an amazing voice. Will he win? Only if America votes beyond looks (*pointed glance at Ace, who SUCKED last night and should go home based on that sad performance*).
Lastly, Chris is the clear winner. Seriously. He’s amazing. And here’s the thing – he could be the next Bo or Clay. If he doesn’t win he’ll definitely sell more albums than the winner this season.
So I’ve confirmed my top six: Mandisa, Princess Paris (why on EARTH can I not remember these girls’ names?), Melissa, Taylor, Elliott, and Chris. That would be an amazing Top Six.
As for who will be going home from the men? David “Crooner” Radford – even his crooning isn’t good anymore. SWAY SWAY SWAY. Ugh. He’s just NOT a good singer, I’m sorry. I don’t see why Randy and Paula think he’s good.
By Princess do you mean Paris?
