Kelli Ann, I am also sorry to hear about your loss. Pets (furry children) are such good friends!
Before I forget, what is M: and S: ?? Where you grade the... vocals. About last night, I enjoyed the banter between Stevie and Jimmy. I also thought that the uncomfortableness between Philip and Joshua was part of the act. Or maybe you were referring to just when they were singing. I enjoyed this duet, partly because the other performances were a bit boring and partly because we got to hear Philip do (actually almost sing?) the upper harmony part a couple of times. I was entertained. (Does he suffer from Lukas Rossi syndrome, singing through clinched teeth? Or did Lucas really have a much better voice?) (or both...). Philip isn't a superior vocalist, but you have to admit, he is a scream personality-wise.I thought Hollie's stage presence was 500% improved. She is my favorite (my sentimental favorite, but maybe the least "quality-wise" of the remaining contestants), but I say she was 5 times better just because she had such a long way to go. (Like, on a scale from 1 to 100, she was a 10 and last night maybe she improved to a 50.) This week she almost looked like she belonged stage (not as an amateur, all their performances are superior for that. I'm talking about someone who would get paid night after night to sing). One improvement: when Hollie wanted to bend over during a dramatic portion of the song she did it less and she remained focused on the audience (at the same time) instead of singing to the floor. I was impressed greatly - compared to previous weeks. Skylar - I love "Fortunate Son", but I was a bit underwhelmed by her presentation. One thing: this is a song of protest and anger, so... don't smile through the whole song??? I'd suggest when you make Skylar mad, it is not a pretty sight!!! - I would have liked her to channel a little anger and fear (of being sent of to war) into her stage performance.The last performances of the show were good - I didn't start watching until 10:30 pm so maybe I was underwhelmed by the whole thing just because I was exhausted. One last observation: I did think Hollie's second performance backed up her first one - as a believable entertainer. Kelli Ann: What will happen !!! Not who is the best (I think the total package of Jessica, loud, soft, soft and intense at the same time, quiet, upbeat, vocals pretty darn good technically every time... is twice as good as any of the other contestants), but who will win American Popularity Contest (with Singing)? I love Hollie, but:a) I will be really surprised if she doesn't go home tonight
b) I could see any of the remaining contestants winning*
* Hmmm. What I can really see is a reason why each of the remaing four "can't" win:Jessica got the least votes a few weeks ago (supposedly, I think the results were "fixed")
Joshua to me has a little of that sameness each week; like Philip but with better vocals. And he was (supposedly) in the bottom three with seven contestants remaining.
Philip... I love him, he is my second favorite for American Personality Contest slash Soap Opera (with singing). From a "casting" standpoint he has added a lot to the show. But, vocally, HE JUST ISN'T THAT GOOD!
Skylar. I have appreciated that she had done justice to every song and every different type of song that she has sung. While I like her range and diction, it is her performances that have that "sameness" to me.
The only thing that would shock me tonight is if Jessica went home. Then it would truely be a wide-open amateur night free-for-all race to the finish. If that were to happen I think even Hollie could compete for the win. What do you think?
Kelli Ann, I am so sorry to hear about Cheyenne When you said you lost your furbaby, I thought it was Dakota with the cancer. What a rough loss. I have two older cats--one I got as a feral rescue before I met my husband, one I rescued from the euthanasia room 10 years ago & I don't know what I will do w/o them when they go. I really enjoy your reviews every week. You seem to be the last of the recappers since the show started & I really learn from your vocal expertise. I really thought everyone was very good this week. I definitely think this is one of the strongest groups in a while. I was shocked that Holly, who I really thought should have gone home a couple weeks back was imo the best last night (though I thought Jessica's second song was the best of the night.) I have gone from wanting a Jessica/Phillip finale to now feeling like Phil is the one who should go home (I know he won't be).
