Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:43 pm     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!!! |
Ladytex | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:43 pm     Kim really brought it tonite! I'm so happy for her. |
Babyruth | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:43 pm     YES YES YES, MGA, DO A MAJOR KIM CALLING SESSION!!! |
Danimom | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:43 pm     absolutely do your major calling for Kim tonight!! I'm going to do the same, so is my mom, my dad, and my daughter. GO KIM!!! |
Donut | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     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.. |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Actually the first person I heard doing Mack the Knife was Lotta Lenya. I think her husband wrote it |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     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?" ) |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     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.. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     I wish Kim could make it to the final 2 |
Essence | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Ruben...If Ever You're In My Arms Again |
Ladytex | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Ruben - If Ever you are in my arms again by Peabo Bryson |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:45 pm     PERFECT choice for Ruben! And he's doing a great job! Clay had better bring it! |
Babyruth | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Excellent choice for Ruben! |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:45 pm     I think all this running around tonight has Ruben proving he has the strength to do a tour, proving the columnist wrong. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:46 pm     So Kim is definitely #1 tonight, right? Gotta program the cell phone for DH..LOL |
Halfunit | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Eewwww - Nyquil Popsicles  |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:47 pm     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.. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:47 pm     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 |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:47 pm     That was an absolutely beautiful job by Ruben. Wow. I loved it! |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:47 pm     I think Kim got him tonight |
Ladytex | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Randy - I can feel your passion, that was dope Paula - great nite for you Simon - the final would not be the same without you |
Bracken | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:48 pm     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. |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:48 pm     I felt Kim's a little bit more than Ruben's... anyone else feel that way? He sang a little too "hard" for me... |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Clay singing "Unchained Melody". |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Oooh.. yes Peabo songs would be good for Ruben!! |
