I had a REAL problem with this performance. Chris Daughtry had that whole big to-do because he "stole" Live's version of
Walk the Line (I'm not convinced he left the information out, btw...I still think the powers that be in AI didn't bother to put it into his little clip before his performance...but anyway...), and yet if you listen to McPhee's version of
Over the Rainbow, it's almost identical to Eva Cassidy's version. But then, I'm not a huge McPhee fan, so maybe that's clouding my judgement
As for last night, I also agree with Scheky. I, again, was bored with David A. I hate to feel that way too, because he really
is talented...I just think he needs to grow a bit more before he'll be at his fullest potential. The world really doesn't need another Davidson/Bolton clone
Syesha is good..and she has shown much more personality than she had, but I don't think she has the fan base that even Brooke has. I think this might have been her last performance because of it.
I thought Jason did well with his first song, despite the judges critiques, but I will agree that he's better when he makes the song his own. He has that funny, eclectic type quality about him in his music. I find it appealing.
Brooke really needs someone to help her pick songs. The first one
was a nightmare. It's sad too, because her second one was so much better.
David C's first one was ok...but his second was excellent. The guy has way more talent than pretty much anyone else who has ever been on the show. It IS more than a singing competition, and he's the whole package.
Based on the last couple week's eliminations, this might prove to be interesting tonight. I think it will either be Brooke or Syesha...and I'm leaning toward Syesha.
