Simon was interviewed and said that the set was bigger than AI's. It actually reminded me of the So You Think You Can Dance set with the levels for Wayne to stand on and for the performers to enter and exit from. It is the same band as AI though.

Interesting Ro. I assumed it was the AI set since the circular patterned center stage looks just like the one that Taylor was boogying on after Play That Funky Music.

I originally thought that it was the AI set with a few additions to it. Then I thought it was the set from So You Think You Can Dance or maybe the two grafted together.

Okay, I admit it, I'm a dork...lol! I really enjoyed this show. They had some great guest celebrities tonight! Anita Pointer looked great and sounded great.

I enjoyed this week's episode as well. A couple of great performances from Ribeiro and Rodriguez. It can't be easy singing those songs with Brian McKnight and Jeffrey Osborne, knowing people will be comparing the voices. Sometimes I think it would be easier to sing with someone of the opposite gender so such comparisons won't be possible.

I notice that Little Richard talks in circles except with Jai. He speaks clearly and is very complimentary to him, like he truly respects his performance. With everyone else he does his double talk.

The sound was a little better this time, but I still wish they'd turn the microphones up a little louder. Last time the professional singers were much louder than the celebrities. This time the voices of both Lucy Lawless and Kenny Loggins were being upstaged by the backup singers. It was still better than last time, though, and I liked that the celebrities took the first part of the song.

Celebrity Duets is carried either on MuchMusic or MuchMoreMusic in Canada.

My Tivo ended before the show.
Wayne was just about to announce who
got voted out.
So, could anyone please tell me who it was?
Thanks!

Leah unfortunately. I didn't want Cheech to go either (and he didn't, of course)...I thought definitely it should have been Carley the gymnast. Was surprised she made it through.

Over all, unfortunately, I think the MALE contenders are a lot stronger in this competition than the women.

I think Carly is getting a bit of a sympathy vote - no one wants to upset her because she's young and sweet. I thought Cheech should have gone over Leah, Leah wasn't good this week but I seem to remember her better last week.

Still enjoying Hal for his enthusiasm!

Thanks for the info on who got boooted!
Yeah, I thought going in it would be Carly.
Leah clearly was worse than the first show,
but still better than Cheech.
After 2 shows, this is how I rate the singers:
Jai
Alphonso
Lucy
Hal
Chris
Lea
Cheech
Carly

I'm liking this show too. Fox has me hooked on a few other new shows this season--Standoff, Vanished, and Justice. Hope they don't pull a "Reunion" on me and cancel them.

It was surprising that Lea went before Cheech and Carly, but the Belinda Carlisle songs weren't the best choice for her. She sounds better in a higher range.

My picks are similar to Darclyte's except I'd put Lucy below Hal, and to me Cheech and Carly are about the same. They both can carry a tune but it doesn't always sound very nice. Lucy Lawless has a tendency to do that Jerry Lewis thing that so many female singers do with their voice when singing pop (like Jessica Simpson and Brittany Spears). I keep getting the feeling she can really sing well but is trying too hard, and the result is this odd distortion.

It should not count for judging of singing, but I was really put off by Lea's dress choices. I thought she made herself look ridiculous. She is thin and has a great body, but I thought she looked trashy and like she was trying to be 16 again. I thought it made her look older honestly.

How did this Jesse McCartney become a singer? Yikes. He should've stuck with acting. When Carly Pattersen is outsinging you, that's pretty sad. And why is David Foster calling Marie a b*tch when she's giving constructive criticism? Is he the only one that's allowed to do that?

I missed that! This is the first time I've watched because I forgot about it. I didn't know they were going to keep bringing in new artists. I was looking forward to seeing Kenny Loggins since I haven't seen him in years and I met him back in the 80s after one of his concerts. Oh well... :-)

OMG Jai is so cute and Little Richard just LOVED him.. pulling and pushing. LMAO So funny Wayne telling him to leave that part out of his reviews. Hahaha

Yeah, that was a running theme with Little Richard tonight.

I think what I love most about this show is the parade of music stars they get on here. Some are new, some are old, some are legends. I'll bet if they have another season there'll be a lot more celebrities wanting the chance to sing with all these famous musicians.

That David Foster needs a good smack. Sure Aguilera and Celine sing when they're sick. They're professional musicians with paying audiences, not nervous celebrities competing for a spot on a reality show. Just because the show decides to build up the drama by showing that someone's been sick doesn't mean that person deserves to be reprimanded for whining. He came out and sang anyway, just like Celine would've done.

I've always wondered how they do sing when they're sick. They probably get cortisone shots or something because I know when I have a bad cold with coughing.. I'm lucky to be able to talk, let alone sing!

Jai's singing bugs me. He's clearly very talented but he always seems to be acting at singing. It's always so caricatured.

I'm still loving Hal. I love that he enjoys it so much. (And despite my long running and slightly one-sided love affair with Queer As Folk I never really got attached to Mikey, so I'm not as biased as some might think!)

This is another show I like. I'm really impressed with how well they all sing... considering they aren't know for their singing. Of course Hal Sparks is my biased favorite...lol I loved him in Queer As Folk. However Jai really impressed me. I hope the judging will be fair. I think that Shannon has really improved.

I'm with you on David Foster.

I loved Hal and Dennis DeYoung last night. I actually voted for him a few times.
