Egads! Priscilla Presley on HDTV. Scary scary.

criptik28 05-09-06 07:06 PM

Pretty good first performance by Taylor.

criptik28 05-09-06 07:07 PM

Yeah, what happened to PP? She looked good in the Naked Gun movies. Too much plastic surgery?

criptik28 05-09-06 07:12 PM

Good song by Chris!

aktick 05-09-06 07:15 PM

"He's standing here in hybrids." Ummm...ok?

criptik28 05-09-06 07:15 PM

Wow, Elliott's performance was good too. Kat's going to have her work cut out for her.

Mok 05-09-06 07:17 PM

All the guys really rocked it, let's hope Kat doesn't fall flat on her face.

actually, lets hope she does.

criptik28 05-09-06 07:23 PM

Ha ha, black jeans, the otters here will love that!

DGibFen 05-09-06 07:23 PM

Oops... someone forgot a line or two!

criptik28 05-09-06 07:24 PM

Uh, was she adjusting her bra there at the end of the song???

ryuryu2949 05-09-06 07:29 PM

Wow, I agree with Simon. That performance was manic. And at this stage in the game, there is absolutely no excuse for forgetting lyrcis. Terrible.

DGibFen 05-09-06 07:31 PM

I still can't listen to "In the Ghetto" without thinking about Cartman singing it on South Park.

twikoff 05-09-06 07:32 PM

based on talent of the remaining 4
kat should definitly be going home

based on voting history and demographics, elliot will probably be going home

their performances dont really matter much this week.. unless someone screws up a performance really bad


edit... kindof like the way kat butchered her crappy first performance

criptik28 05-09-06 07:35 PM

Too bad since Elliott has a great voice.

Kat's performance this time wasn't as pitchy or off-key, just more manic. She needs another great second performance to survive.

Edit: ha ha ha, I can't listen to Chris' second song without thinking of Ocean's Eleven.

ryuryu2949 05-09-06 07:39 PM

Again, I agree with Simon about Chris' second performance. Kinda flat/lifeless at the beginning before he kicked it up a notch, Emeril style.

Mok 05-09-06 07:42 PM

Kat better strip for her last performance if she hopes to not get voted off. The guys are just on tonight.

criptik28 05-09-06 07:42 PM

Yes I will concur with that suggestion. :up:

criptik28 05-09-06 07:42 PM

(Or she could have another button "accidentally" pop off!)

DGibFen 05-09-06 07:43 PM

I've always thought of Elvis as one singer who mastered the entire range of his voice. A number of popular singers (and their listeners) tend to think that the higher notes should be the big draw to a song. But the best singers know how to communicate that excitement and urgency with their entire vocal range, not just the "money notes". It's fine if you can hit that "G" or "A" (for a guy), but if the rest of the song sounds like you are bored, who cares?

That's why Chris' lower range vocals didn't excite as much. He's not comfortable with singing that way. Nice job at the end.

if Im not mistaken.. thats how the song goes
were there is a long section of slow flat talking, before kicking it up
i think he did it right.. but its questionable whether you want to chose a song with talking in it, in a singing competition

twikoff 05-09-06 07:46 PM

poor elliot
even simon knows that elliot isnt going through, but really deserves it

ryuryu2949 05-09-06 07:50 PM

Ok, here is the deal: everyone should call their close family and their friends and tell them to get on the horn and vote for Elliott. The guy REALLY deserves to make it through. For only the second time ever, I am gonna make some calls tonight. If you think Elliott should advance, you NEED to get on the phone. If you don't, we might be stuck with Kat and Taylor for the next 3 weeks.

criptik28 05-09-06 07:53 PM

Hmmm...not sure what to think of Kat's second performance.

RUSF18 05-09-06 07:53 PM

Katherine oversang that song. Too much and too loud.

EDIT: Simon agreed.
