Randy: So you picked a rocker this week. Beginning was a little rough for me. Pretty good. By middle of song you got it together. So alright, man, alright.

Paula: Takes a fine singer to sing those big notes. You are an amazing singer and you did an amazing job. Good to see you back, healthy.

Simon: Much better than last week. You're panting (She was) Big, big song. Still don't think you've chosen the right song--the one that gives you the absolute moment. I think you're gonna be the girl the others have to beat. I really, really do.

And Simon added, after a comment from Ryan:
She's one heck of a singer, this girl. She's one heck of a singer.

Big praise.

Syesha Mercado next.

Cute gal who has many talents!! Actress featured in some commercial and can make perfect baby cry sounds! Hahahaha!

Singing: Mr. Jones.

I liked it very, very much--except for the last note.


Randy: Not a good song for you. Soft notes do not show what you've got.

Paula: And on those soft notes you fall off pitch a little bit; huge notes you do much better.

Simon: A bit indulgent. Not written for a girl, so silly thing to do that. (Audience boos). So I was put off as soon as you started.

Where is everyone?


Brooke White next. Went to beauty school. Discovered she could sing. So became a beauty school dropout.

Accompanying herself on guitar and singing a ringer-like rendition of the Carly Simon song: You're So Vain

Her pace is a bit slow for the song, I think. But her voice is very good. And she is very pretty. Nice eyes, good expressiveness. Oh, her pace is killing her in places.

Simon muttered something about "She was looking at me the whole time."


Randy: Good song choice.

Paula: Perfect song choice for you. Suits you. I like what you did with it.

Simon: I absolutely loved it. (Gawd, do I call the judges' reactions or what?! NO.) It absolutely connected. The reason why we put you thru in the latter stages.

Ramiele Malubay.

Used to hula dance when she was little.

Singing: Don't Leave Me This Way
(Uh, I never heard this song before)
Interesting. But does not show off her voice much, IMO. More entertainment than singing.

I didn't really care for that one. My favorite so far is actually the Mr. Jones singer!

Randy: This does not show your voice. Just really OK.

Paula: Your vocals are truly amazing. I feel kinda the same way. You powered thru it. You didn't get to perform your magic. Having said that, you do have (couldn't make it out)--but something like 'terrific talent.'

Simon: Heard this song at soooo many weddings. Ack. This is one of those performances you aren't going to remember so well. I think you are a good singer--one of the top singers in the competition. But this wasn't it.

I got distracted by the lyrics in the first song. Something about the willow tree bending over and taking love???

Kristy Lee Cook.

Self-confessed tomboy. Likes athletics, horses, camping. Also likes getting dressed up once in a while.

Singing: You're No Good Linda Rondstadt

Gorgeous girl. Pretty darned good, but not wowing me. Another ringer-like rendition.

Randy: Pretty in tune. I liked it.

Paula: You're back. Good to hear you this way. Good song choice. In the pocket.

Simon: Couldn't remember what you sang last week. Huge improvement. Only problem is, not sure how to label you yet. Thinking country may be her thing. Says she has real potential.

Hermi, I typically only know the chorus of most songs, almost never the word-by-word lyrics (except for most Beatles songs). Didn't even hear those words! Heh.

Crazy on You
Heart
(A. Wilson/N. Wilson/R. Fisher)

-This song was originally released in 1976, peaking
at #35, then re-released in 1978, peaking at #62.

If we still have time, we might still get by
Every time I think about it, I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin'
No way to breathe easy, no time to be young

But I tell myself that I was doin' all right
There's nothin' left to do at night
But to go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin
The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early moonlight
And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
My love, the pleasure's mine

Let me go crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do...ohhh...

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Ooooo...Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy
Yeah, crazy on ya
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh...

Well, if the closed captioning is to be trusted, there was definitely a willow tree, some bending over, and some loving, so ....

Then I thought that maybe I just have a dirty mind, but that can't possibly be it.

See!

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love


Tsk! Young people watch this show!

Carry On Wayward Son?! Wow, she didn't do that song well at all. What an awful rendition. It's a guy band song; she shouldn't have picked it.

Amanda Overmyer (rocker girl)

Singing Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas

I love her alto tone. Very pleasing to my ear.
She can move! I liked her.


Randy: Not the right song for you. Too much band, not enough notes for you. Keep it bluesy rock, man.

Paula: You got some moves girl. You've got to do what's right for you. This was not the right song for you.

Simon: In your film, you came across quite natural and believable. And then you came out with the fake (not his word) look: ugly hair, etc.

Her hair distracts me. It looks like a Halloween wig. In fact, I think I have her hair in a trunk in my bedroom.

ITA about with Simon about her hair. I think she is trying to look shock rock, but instead she looks like she has the Bride of Frankenstein's hair. Too much.

Oh, Paula said she had on too much makeup. I didn't notice that so much, but maybe that's more apparent in person.
