Disco ball
I love Rickey. I wish he would get with a song that shows off his beautiful voice in all its ranges, and not just in the top like tonight. Did not like his outfit--shirt was just a tad tight and made him look fat. When he was wearing those wide-legged pants, he looked smooooooooth.
Carmen took a page from Julia DeMato's book: cover a song most closely associated with a bad singer (most of us know the Gloria Estefan version better than whosever she was covering), and you can't help but sound okay. Up-tempo works better for her because it avoids the sustained notes where her warbly and flat-making vibrato intrudes. Loved the pants.
Kim C: Paula hit the nail on the head, and in a much nicer way than I would ever have been able to muster.
Clay had a strong finish, but at the beginning his licks were repetitive and showed absolutely zero originality. He is starting to bore me. If he can get rid of the weird enunciation, he has a bright future ahead of him singing (songs only) milquetoast Prince Charming in Disney animated features.
Trenyce had occasional pitch problems and has zero oomph in her lower range, but this was a much better and more relaxed performance from her. She does owe a lot to Whitney, but she threw in a few licks of her own too.
Ruben. Like the judges, I have nothing negative to say about him. My sil suggested tonight that with the week they gained from booting Corey they can have a Ruben concert in which he sings the full-length versions of all his songs. They're just never long enough!
Kim L.: I must have been hearing something different tonight, but I thought she sounded great. Okay, the beginning part was keyed too low for her, but the rest sounded good, and props to her for taking on the Weather Girls. Somebody did a great job on her hair, and her outfit was the right size instead of too small (like her semifinal outfits) or too big (like that lavender dress).
Josh: Yikes!!!! He looks like he doesn't want to be there any more. Tonight's performance was not even to the level of phoning it in. If there is any sense in the voting of the American public, he will be gone tomorrow. If not him, then Kim C. (bottom 2 last week, and nothing improved this week) or Rickey.
