Ruben - Smile

This is a Ruben performance, much like Clay's was a "Clay" performance, I'm surprised with the judge's picks, they don't seem to be challenging them too much. Great job on it though - on key the entire time, and he emulated the song great

Randy - Brilliant
Paula - Good job
Simon - Job done, well done, brilliant

well I know nothing about music and I am a ruben fan...but I didn't think that sounded really good at all. I thought it sounded hoarse and off

But all the judges , even Simon, thought so...am I so wrong then???

no, he was flat in the beginning. I have a hearing problem on some notes and perfect pitch on others, there were a few notes that were not nice.

No Jan, not wrong. I think they are all nervous tonight and trying a bit too hard. I also think the judges seem to be giving a lot of leeway to Ruben that there not to Kim and (we'll see after the second song) Clay.

Abby - I would love the cashews please my dear!

I am not blown away by the judge's choices. As a matter of fact though, last year the only one they really challenged was Kelly, so there's still Clay, we'll see what they have in store for him.

Essence: I read your post earlier, and yes, I'm a devout Clay fan, but I'm also writing an article tonight and have to be entirely impartial, am I doing an okay job????

honestly Essence, as a true Ruben fan, I gotta admit that you didn't miss much

Every time I hear that song, I think of the Jerry Lewis telethon

I think at this point the judges want who they want to win and they are going accordingly.

I am not a big clay fan but I didnt think he did that badly in the second song.

I liked Kimberly in both songs.

Liked Ruben in second song was not impressed with him in first song.

Randy wants Ruben to win
Paula wanst Ruben to win
Simon wants Kimberly to win

I sure hope they picked something dynamic for Clay after his dreary random pick.

Well if Clay's song was spoiled right, it will be worth waiting for. Well, if he does a good arrangement.

Nothing new about giving leeway to others than Kim.. they all just assume she's a goner :(

I agree Halfunit both Kim and Ruben songs were boring. You would think the judge's would have chose better songs.

Now, I have perfect pitch, and a vocal teaching certificate, and always notice off key performances, and I only noticed maybe once or twice that Ruben was off, and it was only for a moment. I do think that the nerves are affecting them this week... Good luck all three in the next round....

Clay next

Clay seems to have trouble singing slowly. He needed to slow it down just a bit. How anyone can say they couldnt tell he forgot the words is totally beyond me,even if you've never heard the song before!!!. There's an axiom/saying that goes "he who hesitates is lost"

I hate to say it but he choked. I am not a happy camper at this point.
