They are all awesome, Deej. I agree that Clay's first wasn't his best but as an artist myself, I loved hearing a song about Van Gogh sung by Clay. Had never heard it before so didn't know he forgot the words. I liked this last song by Kim L. a lot. Ruben always makes me smile. They are all so good!!!

they loved clay! hubby thinks he was being liza minnelli.. i actually am confused. Paula said they gave him a song to prove hes not a lounge singer and i thought it was the most lounge-inducing song they could give him! i dont think hes at his best tonite..

kim..dawgs,,she brung it! that was a goose pimple tear bringing performance. i love that she is unpredictable and constantly surprises me.. i liked it better than natalie cole, or most of any other current female singers..

Actually the first person I heard doing Mack the Knife was Lotta Lenya. I think her husband wrote it

I think in a fair world Kim would make the final two. But as we all know, AI voting is not "a fair world". The final two will all come down to who has the better final song between Ruben and Clay. Ruben is having hoarseness problems so he MAY be the one in trouble. We will see shortly...

(and why does every commercial break have me humming Maya Rudolph's SNL impersonation of "Try to make it real compared to what?" :) )

Wow.. the original Mack the Knife was:


Written in 1928 as "Moritat" or "Theme From the Threepenny Opera" a/k/a "The Beggar's Opera" and introduced in that production by Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya

heh..

PERFECT choice for Ruben! And he's doing a great job! Clay had better bring it!

I think all this running around tonight has Ruben proving he has the strength to do a tour, proving the columnist wrong.

Sadiesmom, you beat me to it! Now I know why Bobby Darrin worked "Miss Lotte Lenya" into his scat work :)

And MGA YES, vote for Kim tonight!! If you like her, this is the time to stand up for her..

Ruben - If Ever You're in my Arms Again (Peabo Bryson)

Wearing a jean jacket, blue jersey shirt and khakis

Ruben's definitely struggling with a cold, or strained vocal chords, but he's doing a great job nonetheless. A few pitch problems, but a good job in any case.

Randy - I can feel your passion
Paula - Real great night for you
Simon - I've said it before, the competition wouldn't be the same without you nor would the final, you've done enough to show you belong there

I hate to say it but Ruben is off tonight. Think he may have a sore throat, sounded raspy. Simon is saying that this is his best yet, I disagree. He couldn't hold the last note. This is too bad cause he has sung magnificently in the past, I have the downloaded songs to prove it.

I felt Kim's a little bit more than Ruben's... anyone else feel that way? He sang a little too "hard" for me...
