Idol boys on 3/6

aliadam · **Idol boys on 3/6**

I had a meeting tonight that ran over and I missed the whole show. Grrrrr.....

So someone has to tell me who stank, who was great, who got dissed by the judges, or raves from the judges. Did Paula look out of it like last wk?

ALLLLLLL the juicy details please

let's see...

Blake did an up tempo song (not very well known i guess) and mixed in some beat-boxing (woot!). Judges really liked it. We loved it but he's our fave guy.

Sanjaya sang "waiting on the world to change", a hippy love song it seemed. it was alright. didn't go off key or anything, but the judges didn't give him good props - it was boring and he didn't do anything unique. paula told him to step up his game. simon said he was only there b'c the people liked his hair.

Sundance sang a Pearl Jam song and though it sounded off to DH and I, Paula and Randy gave him good props, saying he did well in putting a sort of southern spin on the song. Simon didn't understand it and said it was a bad choice in song.

chris richardson did a slow tempo song "cry" by keith urban. it was a nice change of pace for him. he did well. randy/paula loved it. simon said it was okay (that chris sold that song, and he wasn't sure others could) but said that we still haven't heard what chris is capable of.

jared cotter sang stevie wonder "hanging around" and the judges thought it was alright. he needs to step up his game and give the "wow" factor.

brandon rogers sang an upbeat song "I just want to celebrate"; they said it was a solid performance but simon is nervous the song wasn't memorable enough to take him to the top 12. he said that brandon is one of the better singers in the competition, but he hasn't represented himself well enough so far.

phil stacey sang "i need you" by leann rimes. they said it was okay - the low end of his range screwed it up though. simon said it was really strange.

chris sligh sang "we all want to be loved", an upbeat song, and DH and I thought he did well. the judges said he did good but it was the wrong song choice and he was better than that.

over all, it wasn't a great guy night. judges said only 4 deserved to go to the top 12. paula was actually pretty into it last night; and her comments made sense too.

let's see how the girls do tonight.

Thanks for the recap. I missed last night too. Dh and were replacing the light fixture in the dining room, and didn't realize the circuit breaker is the same one the TIVO is attached to.

Flybygrace, Good recap!

I like Blake even though I never heard that song before. He is different compared to other years but to me its a good different! Yes Paula was good last night and right, it was kind of scary!

we like blake and chris sligh the best (my dd and i, the idol freaks). i think chris richardson is a tasty morsel and i like to watch him, but i don't like his singing voice. jared is also lovely but i wouldn't buy his album. i liked brrandon's lenny kravitz--i thought it was good.

but, as simon says--a lot--this is a singing competition...so based on last nights performances, if vote for the worst doesn't screw up the real vote, sanjaya and phil need to go.

You can get a full recap at mjsbigblog.com. MJ should have it up by now. This is the worst group of guys ever. I mean, if Blake is the most interesting...they made a comment about how he's singing songs that are so "current & now." Cracked me up because every year they drag out Burt Bacharach or Barry Manilow from their coffins & make the Idols sing with them. But Blake sings a song they've never heard of, and they think it's hip. This year just doesn't have anyone to get excited about. And poor little Sanjaya. Oh - "Waiting for the World to Change" is not some hippie love song. It's off of John Mayer's new album. It's a new song. So why wasn't he "current and now?" Well, probably because he can't seem to sing over a whisper.

Poor Sanjaya and his "attack of the straightening iron" hair.
I would say it was one of his better performances....but given the past 2 weeks, it's not saying too much.

Sanjaya's version of John Mayer's song really irked me (Waiting on the World to Change...not a hippe love song) ...I thought he killed it and I love that song right now!
I liked Blake in the beginning, but he is getting on my nerves after last night, his song was okay, I just wasn't thrilled. Sundance IMO, didn't do too horribly, Phil Stacey was bad, again, my opinion...Chris Sligh was good and I think he is my favorite for the guys....I think it will be girls year unless the guys step it up and they've had a few weeks and haven't so I don't foresee good things for them.....

None of them were that great last night. I would say one of the women is going to win for sure! At least they should but you never know what's going to happen. Like Sanjaya coming back week after week.
