Michael Johns was such a disappointment tonight. When Luke started to sing Killer Queen I just started to moan he doesn't even hum in Freddie's range.David's choice of Imagine was bold and so beautifully done. Luke should have gone home last week hope it finally happens this week.
Hey allie_quixotic here posting under my other username. Anyway, I agreed with the judges on most of their comments, and with you on yours.
I'm telling you as a big fan of classic rock, I was hurting tonight. Robbie ruined one of my favorite Foreigner songs. I loathe when anyone tries to do a cover of a Queen song b/c Freddie was amazing, his vocals were f-ing insane and if you can't bring that, even a little of that, pick another damn song.
I wasn't crazy about Jason's song choice, but I didn't even care. I'm not 100% on his vocals, but I love his personality and his look.
Danny is just the cutest gay boy ever in the history of the world. I love his look and his pretty, pretty hair, and that he was in a really bad punk band. lol I hope he has a really strong performance next week.
There's something about him, though -- a sort of Stuart Smiley thing, with the big smiles and... it's hard to explain.OMG, I laughed so hard at that. I too was like...there is just something about him, and now I know. Stuart Smiley...lmao

I am a HUGE Queen fan, and when you have no choice (like when they had the Queen Week theme in S5) then you do your best with whatever song you HAVE to sing. But seriously, choosing to do Freddie of your own volition? Just NO. The chances of doing well are like a million to one.
now I know. Stuart Smiley...lmao
Oh my god, I was just reading the TwoP board when I got home from work this morning, and someone compares says he's like "Donny Osmond doing the Doobie Brothers". And I literally yelled YES THAT'S IT!!! It's like Stuart Smiley mated with an Osmond. *nods*
Homigod! I listened to David A's rendition of 'Imagine' at rickey.org (mp3) and all i can say is... BRILLIANT!!! So poignant and powerful! Loved it to bits and pieces. *nods approvingly*
As for the rest, i think i might just wait until tonight's telecast to find out. :)
Thanks for the commentary. You are my Wednesday and Thursday Morning Delight!!!
I agree with you for the most part. David Hernandez killed it. Really good. Chikieze, hated it. Really, really hated it. The song, the vocal, all of it. I liked Jason Castro. I didn't think all of the criticism was warrented. David Cook, so much better than Robbie it isn't even close. David Archuleta, no one has a prayer of beating this kid. He is phenomenal. Everyone else was just forgettable.
I'm not a fan of the song Chikezie did or that style of music at all, but for what it was, he nailed it. IMO, of course. :) I also did like his conversation with Simon at the end -- you could tell his little joke about Simon's clothes was completely unplanned and I loved his laugh and the way Simon found it amusing as well.
I think it's too early to call the season, but David A. is looking very strong.
When they announced that they were making the performances available for download on iTunes, I was all, "I'm not sadistic enough to suffer through them songs more than once." BUT I'M TOTALLY GETTING DAVID ARCHULETA'S SONG ♥ I love how he's already got his own v. loud fan club. When I heard that he was doing Lennon I hid under the cushions, but omg did that kid's voice melt me.
Voted for Danny and David Hernandez, though, because I figured 'lil David is safe for tonight and I really want those two to stay in. But please somebody help Danny pick the songs, before things go Sanjaya-shaped.
I hope Jason stays in, he's so sweet I want to squish him.
I was going to list two favourites, and then I realized that the men's side is SO strong this year that really, I'm fond of a TON of them. I definitely want David H., David A., Jason Castro, and Danny (for the potential, I know he's got it in him!) to make it to the Top 10.
I was, however, a big big fan of Sanjaya, for bringing the life back to the show and having the best attitude (and yes, I think he's not the HORRIBLE singer they made him out to be, too.) So if Danny brought a little Sanjaya, I'd be okay with that. ;)
