On to WI 2. Can Ruben take on the rest of the world? Should we send Clay? If Clay sang BOTW he would knock the worlds socks off!

I think if Ruben or Clay had been up against Kurt they would not have won. I think that one performance of Kurts was unbeatable.

Depends what Clay was singing. I have listened to other songs by Kurt and was not as impressed as by Wonderful Day. Do we sometimes love the song as well as the singer? Still would bet Clay against Kurt with the right song.

I am definitely affected quite a bit by the song. There are lots of singers out there that I'd add to my playlist if only they'd let me pick their tunes. Bad singers are bad singers, but my favorites are the good singers who sing what I want to hear. Therefore a good singer who does not sing to 'my ear' is not going to win my vote if there is one who does.

Like I said Kitty, that one performance was unbeatable. He seemed to nail it both in terms of his voice, interpretation of the song and emotion. Clay is a great singer but to me he is I just think that the night belonged to Kurt and neither Clay nor Ruben could have beat him.

I wish they would replay WI so we could watch them all again. I agree Maris that that night he was unbeatable.

I agree he was unbeatable with that one song and the judges bad comments just made people vote for him not againgst him if they were torn between him and Kelly. Although I prefer Clay over Rueben, how can they send Clay, he is not American idol. I think he has a better chance of winning than Rueben but if he isn't American idol how can they send him. Guy was a favorite at my house, had about 8 people in watching the show but he didn't do much for me, the Don King hair is distracting but his choice of song or his performance didn't make me sit up and go wow. He does have personality but I pick my favorites by closing my eyes and really listening to the voice. Kurt won for me hands down that night but I didn't vote for him, I gave my vote to Kelly because of the voice she used to sing with on AI. I really wish she would get back to that pure sound and stop all the little extras she puts in. I don't know what you call it but the way she drags out words kind of rolling them over and over, I want to say just stop already. It is what I didn't like about Rueben too, just too much stuff.

I agree on Guy he had a sweet voice but his performance lacked something.

Quote:Also, Jagger, John and stewart were more than performers they wrote great lyrics and music.
Just the other day, my son and I were bemoaning the lack of real musical compositions, like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Stairway to Heaven." We don't get that kind of raw creativity much anymore, or if we do, I don't know where.
Quote: Kelly Clarkson reportedly "abruptly left the set of World Idol after losing."
Eeek. Whatever people's interpretations of Kelly's expressions during the results show, all I can say is she really needed to practice Loser Face, like Rachel had Joey practice on Friends when he was nominated for a Soapy Award. The smile, nod, "I'm not surprised," "the best man won" expression captures grace despite disappointment--which is why nominees do it! (Well, except Kelly).
Quote:I wouldn't be listening to Kelly if I wanted to be soothed after a bad experience or I wanted to listen to music to heighten a good mood. A good vocalist moves you to feel something. I feel nothing listening to Kelly.
Exactly. It sounds like she's trying to show off her range in a competition, not like she herself is moved by the music.

I thought Kurt was fantastic - he so deserved to win. His voice had so many highs and lows and was he was just hitting it - both times he sang it. I'd be interested to hear more from him. I think it did shock Kelly she wasnt winning by a landslide. When they would show her face in between the voting, the smile was fading every time. She's representing America with a bad attitude. I love Kelly but I think her voice needs a break. When she sang "Natural Woman" on AI on Season 1 - she would hit the super high note - on WI - she took it really low - someone needs to let that girls vocals rest.

I read an article where Simon said he did not like the idea of a World Idol. He said that they were 'all winners' and that this show made them out to be 'all losers'. I agree with him.
