Well here is my review of tuesdays "Standards" show
Everything, of course, is JMHO and YMMV because I like using a lot of abbreviations
Chris - for once he wasn't yelling at me.. and I liked it, but it still seemed to be "missing" something for me. Plus the outfit. Was it just me or did he look like a banker from an old western movie or a dealer from a gambling steamship. He was just missing the visor.
Paris - Meh. Something about her voice bugs me.. it's with the way she pronounciates words as she sings. Like the other week when she did country and was singing "how do I live without you" and it sounded like "How do I leeeeeeeeve without you?" The outfit was too old for her. She looked like a flight attendant on an all pink airline.
Taylor - SOUL PATROL! My man didn't disappoint! And you gotta love Rod Stewart dissing Simon telling Taylor not to listen to him about dancing and showmanship on the stage. Plus Rod got beeped. HEE!
Elliott - My hometown boy - he is improving. He seems to be getting his stage fright a bit more and is losing the deer caught in the headlights look. Plus he kept the vibrato in check to stay true to the music. My second favorite after Taylor.
Kellie - what was that I heard about 10 seconds into the song? The sound of 2 Amtrak trains heading towards each other on the same track at 60 MPH? Whoa.. trainwreck! She lost it and couldn't recover. She should have been able to recover and get back on tempo but it just got worse.. shows lack of showmanship. Last week Taylor did a Charlie Brown'esque' kick and a miss on the mic stand and almost landed on his keister but never missed a beat with his song. Is it time for the pickle to go home? Oh, I hope so! Don't PICK Pickler, KICK Pickler!
Ace - whoa dude.. lose the ponytail. You look like Kevin Federline and that is NOT a compliment. The song wasn't bad - but mind you it wasn't good either. Maybe I just don't get falsetto but I don't see how Randy thinks that is Ace's moneymaker. Wait, I do get falsetto. I like Prince. I like Earth Wind and Fire. It's BAD falsetto that I don't get! Ace, I have the feeling we will be hearing that song one more time tomorrow as you stand on the seal. Just hope you don't spew because you always look like you are on the verge of doing so when you are in the bottom 3
Katharine - pretty girl, good voice - needs intervention from Clinton and Stacy in the worst way. Hit one or two sour notes but overall good song. Unfortunately I don't think Katharine comprehends the lyrics because her emotions never seem to quite gel with her performance. 3rd best of the night - not quite as good to me as Simon made her out to be.
My bottom 3 - Ace, Paris, Kellie
Going home - Kellie (I wish) Ace in reality
