Anyone watching? I probably won't see it until tomorrow but I'm always interested in hearing some comments in advance.

Amber sang Celine's Power of Love. Did a good job. Judges loved her. Candice slowed up Drake's Find Your Love. They told her not to sound "old". She did ok, not great imo. Kree sang a bluesy song no one knew, Hurts So Bad by Susan Tedeschi. Jimmy and judges not that impressed. Angie sang Jessie J's Who You Are and played piano. She was great. Judges loved it.

I love susan tedeschi and i believe Kree did better than the artist. Judges are wrong.

Viewers were asked what theme they should sing and the result was One Hit Wonders. Amber singing Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park.

Keith: Incredible Nicki: blooming flower Randy: In it to win it. You hit the crystal clear high notes, mad crazy vocals. I'd sign you now. Mariah: star quality

I think "In it to win it" should be on Randy's tombstone....when the time is right! What a limited vocabulary and ability to express oneself! I, for one, wouldn't miss Randy's "judging" abilities!

Nicki: Yes Randy: You took your time, nice run, great performance. Former Candice of last week returning. Mariah: Stellar performance ( Candice has a cold) Keith: Your voice is beautiful. Wished she picked a song that exposed her more.

Kree singing Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale (but she's doing Percy Sledge version) Randy: You redeemed yourself. Brilliant. Loved it. Mariah: DL it tonight. Nicki: Loved it and your voice was pretty and angelic, but it won't keep you from the bottom

I don't know who deemed these songs "one hit wonders" but some of these singers recorded other successful hits.

note to randy: they are all in it to win it - Shut Up. You have nothing to say. All judges - shut up, I know you are just trying to influence opinions and not giving real opinions, Please - applause for McArther Park - no one gets applause for that, it was a time when a lot of people bought music to do drugs to, that song was an example. Richard Harris was considered good, go figure. Oh dear lord - last of the evening and it is Angie grossly over emoting, looks like a 5 years old for a few minutes there, Brought it down at the end, but sorry, still pretend emotion, not very annoying. Judges love it. Interesting, keith had to use 3 words? did he say it was from a script?

Angie singing Julie London's Cry Me a River. Mariah: You hit upper register notes. Clarity beautiful, talent galore. Keith: Mystical and celestial powerful. Nicki: You came out to snatch wigs off heads and you are snatching. Tonight was your night. Randy: Yo...the best of the night. Angie wins night hands down.

Sadie, You always sound so miserable when you watch the show, so why bother? I love MacArthur Park. I am just reporting objectively for those who are interested. Poor Angie. One week everyone says she is not feeling the song. Now she is over-emoting. Girl can't catch a break.

I think the judges and the scripting drag me down. McCarther Park, Hated the song then, still hate it now. Randy was very irritating tonight. I enjoyed Emotion, I enjoyed Whiter Shade of pale, but the judges didn't. Sheesh. They seem to have pre-selected favorites of a night. Or maybe I do. I don't know. And the judges need some balance,they are too much everyone is perfect. Sorry, there were a few missed notes tonight that were not called out, but would have been in other years. The judges thought Angie was perfect, I thought she was over emoting, but it was still another way of not feeling the song.

Hubby said how are these one-hit wonders? Donna Summer had lots of hits, so did the Bee Gees. Sorry, I'm watching time-delayed.

Well like I predicted I've enjoyed everyone's comments so far. Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to seeing this now. Add me to the list of not getting the one hit wonder criteria.

Makes no sense to me either. Percy Sledge and Procol Harum were not 1 hit wonders, were they? I get that Richard Harris was (have always hated that song). Samantha Sang did "Emotion" as a one hit, I guess.

I thought Kree was great on that first song. The judges seem to want Amber to win now.
