AI review
Kim C.: Well, she went back to the type of song she feels comfortable with, which means more shouting. Her vibrato on the last note was pretty ovine. Simon hits the nail on the head with the "Six Flags" comment.
Ruben: Not his best night. Think he just had a frog that was causing the rasp, but it could be exacerbated by fatigue. Simon's right that he needs to branch out a little, but he still has the best voice and the best presence of the competition.
Kim L.: I don't know why you all don't seem to feel her. I thought she had the performance of the night tonight. Yeah, maybe she did miss on emotional interpretation, but musically she was spot on and she doesn't always sound the same. I also think she looked great, like she may be losing weight.
Carmen: This was just painful. I didn't think she could do anything worse than the Blondie number, but she proved me wrong. She had serious pitch problems for the entire song. And the makeup seems to be doing really awful things to her face--last week she had one huge zit on her right cheek, and tonight she must have had 10-12. She knows she doesn't deserve to be there any more.
Josh: Pitchy on the low sections, but better up top. Unfortunately it's so near the top of his range that there's only room for trying to stay up there and not for any, you know, interpretation. Last note: Raaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeet kind of spoiled the whole thing.
Trenyce: Don't know why you all liked her tonight; I thought it was her second-weakest performance (after the country night). She had a lot of pitch problems, and her interpretation of the song lacked direction and arc. Very spotty performance, but I really liked her eyeshadow.
Clay: Cheesiest possible arrangement of that song (which, as a Motown tribute song, was cheesy to begin with). However, he sounded great on the up-tempo chorus, proving his versatility. EO's right, once a good producer gets his hands on him and banishes all the annoying mannerisms and vocal tics, he has a bright future. Needs to spend less time by the mansion pool, though, or else he'll turn into a giant freckle.
Bottom 3 should be: Kim C., Carmen & Josh. Bottom 3 will be: Kim C., Carmen & Trenyce. If Carmen doesn't go this week, it had better be Kim C.
My sil saw Rickey on the Today show, and his prediction for the final 3 is Ruben, Clay and Josh. Says Clay gets an amazing amount of fan mail, far more than any other contestant (though if the feelings of this crowd are any indication, it has probably dropped off considerably since the first few weeks).
