Songs from the Year They Were Born
This is the category that makes me feel old. Oh well, I'm over it. Apparently a bunch of people were born 1985, which makes me at least a year older than most of these contestants. Let's not talk about Allison who is 7 years younger than me. :)
Danny Gokey - 1980
Ok he's 3 and a half years older than me...thanks Gokey. Oh Danny you're singing another slow song. Hm...My dog is freaking out over something, but I'm not sure what. Oh it got upbeat...this is a gross version of this song. He seriously couldn't find any other song? I mean he's a good singer but...boring.
Judges say: Randy says he didn't love the arrangement but Danny made him love it. Kara didn't like the arrangement but says he killed it at the end. Paula says wow. Simon says beginning was good, middle lazy, end good...overall great or something like that.
Kris Allen - 1985
I'm not listening since I'm ordering my Pride & Prejudice Marvel comic...oh here's one of the ones younger than me. I missed what song this is, I have no idea. this doesn't really sound all that great. It sounds likes 80s music not contemporary. I'm going back to ordering my comic.
Judges say: Kara says it was something...that lost its youth. Paula says something about being heartfelt and genuine, changed up the song. Simon says he is likeable but the performance was indulgent boring and forgettable...stupid song choice. Randy says the arrangement was indulgent, lost him.
Lil Rounds - 1984
Ok I don't care about your name. I didn't pay attention to the exact month but she's probably a couple months younger than me. she looks gross tonight...hooker much. Once again it doesn't sound that great off the bat. I just don't think she's capable of adding anything unique to a song. She just always sings a song well but without anything contemporary. Whatever.
Judges say: Paula says something about not being able to take the reigns...karaoke. Simon says we are not looking for a 2nd or 3rd rate version of Tina Turner, copycat performance...they have lost her...they all say something. Ok Lil I think its too late to be saying things like this...seriously we are so far into the competition and you haven't given 1 standout performance.
Anoop Desai - 1986
Oh I don't care about talking back. lol David Cook is also 2 years younger than me...awesome. True colors...He's always best broken down like this. But what does this mean for his potential as a recording artist. Who buys albums from guys who sit on stools. I mean unless your Josh Groban or Michael Buble who are more than just vocalists I thin it'd be a tough sell for a guy like Anoop. It was ok, nothing exciting but not horrible.
Judges say: Randy congrats UNC, thinks him pulling it back is impressive, nice vocal. Kara says he controlled the song. Paula says his choice of song was flawless...something about him being a rainbow. Simon says he's a singing yo-yo..this week was good...didn't think it was fantastic...Simon says he doesn't have to apologize for talking back to the judges.
Scott MacIntyre - 1985
Hello another person younger than me. Oh Scott please stop being boring. Omg no piano. What is this song? Well he sounds good. Yay guitar. Oh this is a terrible song. But I like him off the piano...i don't know about that high note though. Aw well it was probably one of his better performances in a long time.
Judges say: Kara says the song was difficult, he had some good moments but some off moments. Paula gives him credit for stepping away from piano. She has lipstick on her teeth....ew its so distracting. Simon says he should go back to piano, the song was horrible. Randy says something.
Allison Iraheta - 1992
Oh dear 1992. lol They thought she talked too much. Aw she was a little rocker when she was little too. I can't make you love me...a bit predicable, but still good song. I'm glad she's doing a ballad so she can show off her vocals a bit more. I love that she always changes up songs just enough to make them her own but not ruin the song. It was actually pretty restrained, but she's such a good singer. I wish America loved her more.
Judges say: Paula still hasn't fixed her teeth....she says its undeniably Allison...liked her tenderness. Simon says it was very good...says she needs to lighten up. Randy says she reminds him so much of Kelly...needs to engage the public. Kara says she is truly talented, let's go make a record.
Matt Giraud - 1985
Aw his baby picture looks like a girl. He's so cute...also younger than me. Part-time lover...normally hate Stevie Wonder songs on here but hopefully he'll make it less gross. Ok this makes me think of ...what was his name Nikko? Something like that. This is kind of boring. I like when he's playing an instrument, but that's probably because I hate R&B solo vocalists for the most part. But whatever. Doesn't really matter because this is going to be a Gokey/Lambert final and everyone else is just so there is a show.
Judges say: Randy says best vocal. Kara says unbelievable. Paula says standing O. Simon says 1 million times better than last week...well done.
Adam Lambert - 1982
Wow I feel like Adam and Danny are always first/last or next to eachother. Whatever. The last person is always the luckiest because people just saw their performance. The earlier ones are forgotten. AI is really pimping Adam...good luck making an album with him. I was about to write Judges say: but then I realized he hasn't performed yet. Second one older than me...Danny and Adam...mhm. He's really gross looking. Singing a good song...broken down again. i don't really like this chair though. I like stools or stairs better. This lighting is creeping me out. he's getting high-pitched...whatever. I would still never buy his album or listen to his song on the radio. He'll win this but he'll join the ranks of Daughtry and David Cook for people who I automatically switch stations on if they come on the radio.
Judges say: Simon gives him a standing ovation. lol laugh. lol they need to stop. but whatever. like I said, he'll win but I will never listen to his music.
Overall,
In danger, Lil & Scott.
