Stereo Hoggz -- Rhythm Nation These guys are worthless. I didn't even like the lead singer this week. The other guys do nothing other than have names like Trae Badd. Maybe he's related to Color Me. The judges have all come down with Adam Lambert disease where they all think these guys are the second coming when really they aren't much at all.
The Addict Trashman - Don't You Remember You Told Me You Loved Me Baby -- Well, it's a much more fun arrangement than normal, but was that song too high for him? It didn't sound right. The fire was a bit over the top, didn't even match the song. Kudos to the guy for cleaning up, but I'm just not that into him. And somebody tell that punning Welshman to shut up.
Old Black Michael Bolton - I'm Already There. He sings so softly. Apparently he was nominated for a Grammy or two back in the 70s, can anyone confirm that? Pretty cool. He's got such a great voice and he's likable and has cool glasses, what more do we need? Maybe lose the ascot, he's not Fred from Scooby Doo.
OMG! 770 tweets per minute! Wait, I don't care. I'm old.
Adorable Rachel -- Is this some weird version of Walkin on Sunshine? Or is this some current hit? Maybe she's so young she thinks it's "You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine" and is confused. I think the audio mix is off as the music is really loud. She's so fun. Maybe not the best ever, but she deserves to make it through.
Hot Leftovers -- Landslide. Boy it is windy in that theater! Tell you what, when they sing together, it's like butter. Landslide is one of the best songs you can pick on shows like this. Just wonderful. Also, LA Reid is on drugs--everything he said was wrong. They were great.
Vneck Joe Cocker -- The dry ice machine is in full effect. I have no idea what he's singing. He looks like an extra from a Pearl Jam video or something. Plus, no signature V-neck. How can you brand yourself with such inconsistencies? He's good though, just a terrible song choice. Have you noticed how the percentage of finalists that are actually good is way higher than on Idol? Well done judges.
Melanie - Desperado. Another great choice for shows like this is anything by Don Henley. That guy's a got a weirdly high gravelly voice, but man can he sing. Knows how to write a song too. This girl is just a natural. This contest is going to get rough once they kick off the crappy groups, some really good people are not going to make it.
Brian Bradley - Hip Hop Hooray. Do kids these days think this song is an "oldie"? This kid is actually really good, I mean he's no Treach but he's doing the song justice. He's got a great angle, it's hard not to like old school rap. If he does Jump Around or Slam or Funky Cold Medina or Things That Make You Go Hmm next week, he's golden.
Kid Leftovers -- Kids In America Great choice for a bunch of kids...in America. These kids could go on tour right now and make tons of money. Or become a fixture at Disneyworld or something. Until the drugs are introduced, or the many many different intraband romances begin, and the whole thing unravels. Until then though, fun kid group. Like Menudo.
Drew - All I hear is mumbling. Is it my TV? She is dressed in what I assume my future 4 year old daughter will wear every day. Apparently that's fashionable. Maybe boys will wear Superman costumes in everyday life too. This wasn't that great, but maybe it was the song, which clearly sucked.
Marcus -- Every Little Step. Remember when R&B pop songs were fun and great? This is a prime example,and LA wrote it--Babyface and LA could not be stopped back in the day. By the way, find Wayne Brady's version of this on the internet, Mike Tyson is one of the backup dancers and they re-enact this video, including the suspenders and bike shorts. Maybe next week he can sing the theme song from Ghostbusters 2, "Control". And then marry a crazy woman.
Old Lady with Runny Mascara - So does she want to be a church singer or not? Cuz she says she doesn't, yet there she is with a choir and a song about a mountain. She is too over the top for me. I guess she was good, but over the top.
Top 3 - Melanie and the two Leftovers
Bottom 3 - Stereo Hoggz, Trashman, and I guess Drew?
Who Should Go Home - Stereo Hoggz
Who Will Go Home -- Old Bolton
