Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:28 pm     Mak1, LOL! DITTO!!!! |
Mak1 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:28 pm     Backup vocals again. I think that detracts from the singer. This girl didn't shine either. Go CLAY!! |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:28 pm     I can't do Celine, and she shouldn't either... You have to have a very powerful alto voice to sing this song, she should have chosen a different song - song choice is key!!! |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:29 pm     Well, everyone seems to be choking again. (Except CLAY!) |
Crossfire | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:30 pm     I almost think the backup vocals would screw me up. I'd just as soon do without them. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:31 pm     I'm used to them since I do it all the time, it's easier to do it live than with a recording, but if you're singing a song you know, they shouldn't throw you off... Clay is SO IN!!! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:31 pm     I know you guys are loving Clay, but who has sung since Carmen.. a westcoaster with no video or audio yet |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:31 pm     Olivia: hated the dress, hated the deep breaths between each line, hated the performance. Looks likes that will be the last of the Mojicans... (and yes, I *have* been waiting all week to use that line... ) |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:32 pm     Nerves are going to be her downfall she's gone flat too many times for the judges to be impressed. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:33 pm     Janine Falsone sang We Belong. Simon said it sounded like a kitten purring (not a compliment) Paula said NY was better. Randy said it wasn't good tonight. Paula said she did impress them in the past. Janine agrees with them about this performance. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:33 pm     Well, they shouldn't, but these people are making it seem like it does. I don't sing much, and when I do, its usually me who is doing the backup, so I shouldn't probably be so judgemental, but what the heck. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Oh, sorry, Seamonkey! Olivia, Carmen, Nasheka, and Janine have all sang and none of them got very good remarks. Nasheka was probably the best. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Sorry Seamonkey - We had Olivia with Celine Dion, and was just too nervous and too timid to pull it off in an awful sequined pink dress. Then we had Janine (the ex of the girlfriend duo) who sang Pat Benatar and Simon's comment definitely summed it up "As much passion as a kitten mewling"... just not good. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     Olivia and Janine didn't do it for me either. So far Clay has blown them all out of the water. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     Seamonkey. I have not a clue. People who cannot sing well. Does that help? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     And Kimberly Caldwell went first and did so-so. Not her best, but sure looked the part. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Crossfire - you don't have to apologize. I sing all the time, and forget that others don't. I was more impressed when they had to perform with the piano, as I said, it's more difficult, but the performances are better in that there's more energy tonight than we've seen in the past. I really think the background tracks have something to do with that. |
Cassie | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Does anyone know how come this group is allowed to use the karaoke track rather than the plain piano? |
Mak1 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:36 pm     I liked Nasheka more than the judges did. Sea, did we mention that CLAY was perfect tonight? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:37 pm     We still have Trenyce, Aliceyn and Chip left to perform. |
Faux_Pas | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:37 pm     Janine should have picked a better song. That's a hard song to do (not that I have any experience besides singing in the car) and Pat Benatar can pull it off because she has had so much vocal training. You gotta wonder what makes people pick their songs. Doesn't the vocal coach give them some guidance? Like Djgirl said, song choice is key! |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:37 pm     My guesses for the four: Kimberly Caldwell Clay A DEFINITE that's about it for now ... Nasheka probably, but so far no-one else... |
Webkitty | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:38 pm     Who thinks Clay will make it through no matter how America votes tonight? (can't image him not getting through one way or another) |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:38 pm     Thanks!! I'm just hanging out, waiting for my pizza and listening to you guys. Too bad about Olivia.. I liked her looks in the picture but had a feeling she'd be doomed. So far it sounds like their reliance on this group to provide a large percentage of the finalists may be backfiring?? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:39 pm     Chip is up. |
