I have a lot to say this week! Wish they would talk to Harry because the way he is critical of minor things really brings the show down. Quentin "horribly out of tune?" No, way! A few bum notes, sure. But very few. Not even close to how bad Daniel is every damn week. And if I see JLo criticize anyone again for changing up a tune too much, I will scream!! Is it because she is jealous of their originiality and ability to NOT lip sing! I find Quentin mesmerizing. Even my DH, who has not been on his bandwagon went, "Wow! That was cool!" Then Harry comes in & tells everyone, Oh no it wasn't!
And WTF?! Harry thinks people don't know what a simple musical term like arrangement means!
Go read Michael Orland's twitter from last night in his convo with BoraBabe, ! I think maybe Michael is not a Harry fan!
At least, Harry was hard on Daniel too. Keith seems to keep making up things to praise Daniel about & JLo needs to stop saying he is adorable or cute! She hasn't said anything about his singing in weeks!
I thought Joey did a lovely job with MW. No one can sing it better than Adam. It has become his song. But I think she did a good version, a "Joey version." She took all the high notes out, but she knows who she is & I like that.
Here's Slezak's recap on Joey's Mad World. Love Slezak!!
"Joey Cook – Michael Andrews and Gary Jules cover of “Mad World” (Donnie Darko) — Grade: B+ | Will y’all forgive me for robbing Joey of an A- just because, as an Idoloonie of the Most Ridiculous Order, I feel she should’ve left the Adam Lambert “Mad World” jersey hanging from the stadium rafters? (I know: I’m the WORST. But still, these kids need to know their history!) Taking aside the Season 8 wonderboy’s rendition (aka only cover of the song anyone needs to hear), Joey really did sound lovely — the nooks and crannies of her tone soaking up the sadness and insecurity of the lyric. Girlfriend has had three straight terrific performances — and the look in her eye during critiques told me she might be realizing she’s higher in the Season 14 pecking order than she’d ever imagined she’d be."I think he said it perfectly!
"Lovely" is the exact word i would use to describe it.
I do think Nick is very good looking. He IS too much in his head though. He needs to be more confident. "I want to break free!"
Speaking of confident! I don't think his attitude, facial expressions, and running around pumping his chest will endear Qaasim to the American public. Did he deserve to get saved, NO WAY! But I get why they did it. You know, no "save" has ever gone home the following week, so he will be around at least 2 more weeks.
I think Rayvon and Adaana are in danger next week. Rayvon murdered that song! Hated it! Harry shocked me when he said he loved the arrangement! Way too slow! I think it killed the whole vibe of the song. Adanna went first & that can be the death spot.
And I'm still not sure how America is liking the edginesss of Quentin. I miss having a bottom 2 or bottom 3. At least we kind of knew who was in danger each week.
Oh, Clark!! Flawless performance! Beautiful voice! He just bores me!
Maddie? Boring too but she is the only one getting the Country music fans' votes. She will stick around.
Tyanna! What was that? Why that song? That song took out every bit of her personality and stage presence! Bad, bad song choice. I think she has enough fans to keep her safe. Hope so, anyway. It'd be really sad if she goes home this early.
JAX, I thought she did a very good job. She needed to redeem herself, after last week, and I think she did!
My favorites: Quentin, Joey, JAX, Nick. Rayvon has lost me & he was in my top 3 earlier. Poor guy seems to have lost his MoJo!
All that being said, I think Clark could win this season!! Right now, I would predict a Clark/Joey or Clark/JAX finale. Either way, the WGWG wins!
Holy cow!! Idol is having Boy George on!! Love him!! This should be good!!
