Big Leather Couch

Let’s roll … whoever makes it through tonight gets to record on the album…

SPECIAL GUESTS: Lulu for the ladies and Peter Noone with the men…


HALEY SCARNATO: “Tell Him” – First off, is she going for the least body parts covered in all of AI History award? Second, WHOA, where has this person been the last few weeks. She actually did a nice job with this song. Her voice suited it well. She worked the stage and the audience. She made a comeback tonight. Sticking around.


CHRIS RICHARDSON: “Don’t The Sun Let You catch You Crying” – Like he decided to go with the guitar on stage to open it up. Second week in a row he moved away from the hip hop persona and kept in the genre. He has a great voice and we are hearing it now. And, yes, the girls are gonna just lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve him. Sticking around.


STEPHANIE EDWARDS: “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” – Hoping she did well tonight, but there were a few tough notes throughout. It was a good rendition, but we think she could have belted it out of the park and instead it was a cheap flare double...Puts herself on the firing line.


BLAKE LEWIS: “Time Of The Season” – Argggg beatbox…what the hell was he wearing pajama bottoms???? Felt like I was in Las Vega actually. We are losing touch with this guy. He is way too campy for our tastes, we actually think he has a decent voice but his performances feel like sarcasm. (Yes, we know the judges disagreed…hey this is not a repeat of their comments). Guess he is safe.

LAKEISHA JONES: “Diamonds Are Forever” – We think she could have gone with “You’re My World”, but that is just us. Her voice is excellent, but this was not a great night for her. We felt like she was playing up the words more then singing them. The whole performance was a little forgettable tonight. Still safe, but slipped down the ladder a bit.


PHIL STACEY: “Tobacco Road” – Excellent choice for his voice...can he pull it off? Began the song perfectly. Think he might have been moving around too much, seemed to lose some power as it went on. Missed some notes in the middle. The song calls for a roughness and that did not come through. Finished it off strong. Good performance, but not what I expected out of him with that song. Middle to low end of the pack tonight.

JORDIN SPARKS: “I Who Have Nothing” – OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO chills…the girls is ready to rumble folks. This song demands a big voice and then a complete change to softness and she did it right spot on. Standing and clapping. EXCELLENT. Flying through tonight. (It IS a depressing type song ---like “You Are So Beautiful”, another angst love song that Simon didn’t get)

SANJAYA MALAKAR: “YA REALLY GOT ME” bwahahahah “I don’t think I am the best singer in the competition” - do ya think Sanjaya? LOL – OH GOD NOT THE KINKS!??? The picture of the little girl in the audience…THAT is why he is still here… He butchered one of the great rock songs ever recorded. It was like watching your three year old nephew on Thanksgiving in the living room. It was so bad I almost threw something at the TV….PLEASE do not let him get through.. please – please-please…PLEASE. (OH no, judges are really talking him up????) ARG!

GINA GLOCKSEN: “Paint It Black” – Excellent Choice Gina…Damn, we did not like it very much. There were some real good parts, but then she would just lose it. Though she ended real strong, overall it was not my favorite Gina performance. We are definitely rooting for a rocker chick to go far. It was much better then last week, but still rough. Middle of the pack this week.

CHRIS SLIGH: “She’s Not There” Second Zombies’s song of the night…who woulda thunk it? OOO and a Taylor entrance…Began a tad ahead of the music. Then he kicked it up on the second stage. We liked his performance tonight. Liked he stuck to the original arrangement. Put it out there and made it a good night. Staying around this week.


MELINDA DOOLITTLE: “As Long As He Needs Me”: Pimp spot for Melinda…OK, she is batting 1.000 in giving us chills each week. She is coming out of her shell a little at a time and we can only wonder just how good this girl can be. Tonight she left the other 10 in the dust. NO COMPARISON –Flies Through.
