In the order of appearance with quotes from Stephen, Jennifer, and Randy with a few of my own sprinkled in here and there.
1)
Paul: (Old Time Rock & Roll ~ Bob Seger)
I want his Porter Wagoner/Marty Robbins suit ! An oxymoron with his voice/style singing this song. Put on your sunglasses because his teeth are even whiter than ever.
"Wild Abandon."
"Good on You."
"Sax with Paul."
2)
Lauren: (The Climb ~Miley Cyrus)
She owned that song and sang it much better than Miley ever could.
Great hair tonight.
"Tear in Her Voice"
The only thing about Lauren that I connect with is that drawl.
3)
Stefano (End of the Road ~ Boys II Men)
Just a bit disappointed that Stefano was singing tonight instead of Pia.
Will this be the "End of the Road OR The Beginning of the Road for him?" Who dressed him ? BUT, he slammed it tonight.
"Milked the Song"
"Singing to win it instead of singing to just stay."
He does have a great voice.
4)
Scotty (Cross My Heart ~ George Strait)
"And don't call me Dude, Dude."
He picked the just right song tonight. Who can go wrong with George ?
"If it ain't broke, don't even consider fixing it."
"A Star is Born"
If Pia was dumped because she didn't "dance all over the stage," Scotty better get off his stool.
5)
Casey (Nature Boy ~ Nat King Cole)
"Didn't take the advice from the experts . . . better be right."
I think he was. He knew what he wanted to sing, and he sang it, and he played it.
Jazzy ! I like jazz. First time I really liked it was at the "Underground Wonder Bar" in Chicago, not to be confused with the "Underwire Wonder Bra."
Cleans up really well. Nice new look !
Slow start. Great ending. He crosses the boundaries.
"Unique." "Brillliant." "Genuis."
"He is an artist."
6)
Haley (Call Me ~ Blondie)
First note(s) totally off key . . . weren't they ?
"Not a showcase for her voice."
"That thing you got on is gorgeous."
Her boots were longer than her dress.
Haley is not my favorite, but she has improved in the past few weeks.
7)
Jacob (Bridge Over Troubled Water ~ Simon & Garfunkel et al.)
"Don't preach to people. You aren't a star yet."
I still want to hear him sing gospel. Couldn't he have chosen something from "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?"
"Angelic"
Puts everything into the song.
"What note was that?"
8)
James (Heavy Metal ~ Sammy Hagar)
"Give Metal a Chance."
I don't like heavy metal, but I like James.
He IS a performer ! I hope this wasn't his "ONE WAY TICKET" home.
"That felt really, really REAL."
"Happy you stuck to your guns."
Zakk Wylde . . . wow !
***************************
So, who's your favorite ? The whole spectrum is here. Is it down to the genre of music or the artist ?
My favorite tonight is James singing my least favorite type of music.
Scotty and Casey follow right behind him.
Jacob and Paul next.
Then, Haley . . . Stefano . . . Lauren . . . in no particular LAST order.
