Just getting it started. So tonight is Shania Twain night. I like Shania and she gives a great concert and has she ever sold a lot of records. However, her songs are surprisingly hard to sing and she is pretty nice so I don't know how much help she'll be giving the contestants advice. Depending on song choice, tonight might be fairly ghastly. I hope it's good though.

And if they're going for a younger demo, when exactly was the last time Shania actually had a hit?

I don't understand what they are doing. Why couldn't they just have it be any "country song night" instead of just Shania songs? Wierd.

Shania Twain, is a Canadian country pop singer. Her third album Come On Over is the best-selling album of all time by a female musician, Second overall by any musician of the SoundScan era and the best-selling album in the history of country music. She is the only female musician to have three albums certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America and is also the second best-selling artist in Canada, behind fellow Canadian Céline Dion, with three of her studio albums being certified double diamond by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. Twain has achieved both critical and financial success, having received five Grammy awards, 27 BMI Songwriter awards and sold over 65 million albums worldwide to date, including 48 million in the USA alone. She is ranked as the 10th best-selling artist of the Nielsen Soundscan era, with approximately 33,591,000 sales through April 5, 2008, based on relatively few releases.

I think her most recent hit was "Party for Two" in 2004? LOL - But she is still more modern than Lennon and McCartney or the Rolling Stones.

Well, her ex-hubby (Mutt Lange) was/is a huge music producer, so she probably carries some extra residual clout from that. I guess.

It's nights like this that I miss Adam Lambert. I'd love to see what he would do with a Shania song!

OMG Jimmer, I would SO love to see what Adam would've done with one of her songs.

FWIW, way back when she was a judge during the auditions, everyone really liked her, she really liked helping, and it was decided then that she'd come back during a week to mentor the contestants.

I like Shania's songs. I guess I do not get Mike. He bored me. Oh well.
And, he is no Luther!

Loved Lee! Always do.

I just don't get Mike either. It didn't wow me. I wasn't surprised that Simon wasn't as impressed as the others.

Casey, WOW! I loved it and I haven't enjoyed his performances in awhile.

Michael Lynche picked a ballad, It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing from Up!. "You're one of these guys that would sing the phone book and everybody would still melt," Shania tells him. "But don't take that for granted."

I liked his version better than Shania's. Ellen felt he had a Luther Vandross vibe.

Crystal:

Randy says it wasn't one of his favorites but she was good.

Ellen agreed with Randy. Wasn't a favorite.

Kara, impossible for her not to be good. Believable. Still amazing.

Simon, Shocker, we don't like Crystal this week!!! Thought the song was forgetable.

Lee was first and sang Still the One. Randy and Ellen said he made it his own. Randy noticed pitchiness at the beginning but he pulled it out. Kara told him to look ate how far he has come and she saw him smile a couple times. Simon agreed with all the positive comments and said he chose the perfect song for him.

Simon called Mike's performance "wet". Everyone asked what????? He said opposite of dry...girly. LOL Shania had tears in her eyes during the song. She said he got her.

I think Crystal might beat out Siobhon this week with the talking to the judges.

Casey did a great job tonight, on a stool behind the judges, vulnerable, nice singing, just rhythm guitar. I loved it. Judges liked it too. Simon said he should kiss Shania on the lips for that. She stood, and he went to her for a big hug, but I didn't see if the kiss happened. If so, it was fast.

Casey IMO is the best so far tonight followed close by Lee. Have never cared for big Mike and tonight was no different for me. Chrystal has been so consistantly good so she will prob. be ok even though I agree w/the judges that it wasn't her best.

Aaron singing You Got a Way. Shania said he's debating about hitting a note,"feel safe and good, give us what you love". He's sitting on a stool, pianist behind him, guitar player on step in front. He is telling the story and sounds wonderful, good phrasing and emotion. Shania looked pleased. Randy said it was a real good job. Ellen said it will be tough, everyone good, depth and emotion, maturity really good. She's impressed he's only 16 ( he corrected her...17 now). Ellen joked she isn't as impressed now. lol
Kara agreed. Simon said he sounded like a different singer this week, sincere, believeable, well done. Aaron said he sang it for his mother. Aaron is crying, "love you guys" to the fans. awwwww

Aaron did good!

Randy, this is your land. You did a really good job.

Ellen, everybody is doing well. Great emotion and maturity. Good job!

Kara, it was like you felt those words.

Simon, you've stuggled the last couple of weeks, however tonight you are like a different artist. It felt sincere and believable. Well done.

There was a comment made by Simon or Kara, didn't really catch it but Aaron said I was singing it to my mom and there was an akward moment.

I really liked him this week.

Shania had class and didn't kiss Casey. She put her hand on the side of his face after the hug in almost a maternal way. It was a nice moment, I think they had a good connection and it was reflected in his performance.

The order tonight is Lee, Michael, Casey, Crystal, Aaron, Siobhan.

Siobhan is singing Any Man of Mine. As usual, a funky outfit. With her hair up, she resembles a young Shania. Comparing her performance to Shania's, there is no comparison, IMO. Her voice is too low, and she sucked the life out of the song, ending with an unnecessary scream. Audience seems pleased.

Randy loved it. Ellen said good way to end the show, fantastic. Kara: guess who's back...Siobhan! Simon thought it was good, but screaming was almost like giving birth. It was fun and good.

Eh...what do I know? I am sorry to say I didn't like it, because I really like her.
