Is THAT why it sounded so country? BF and I were sitting watching and wondering why. Then BF said "gee, somewhere in heaven, Janis is smokin' and shakin' her head."
However if it was supposed to be Faith's version (which I don't think I've heard enough...) then so be it.
Overall... blah. Bored to tears.
I want to know what strings (or paycuts) Clive Davis had to threaten to get Alicia Keys to pass over her songs to 19E and AI. Alicia is her own being, which is what makes her famous. Tonight just sounded like a bad karaoke competition. Vonzell was better on her impression than Aloha was, but still.
Janay seriously looked like a deer in headlights her entire performance. I think she will be the one to go. Simon's right... she's too young and I don't think she quite understands that the crowds get BIGGER as the competition goes on. If she is having trouble with this small of an audience... think about the Kodak Theater... and tours.
I missed Jessica's which was apparently was the best of the night. Oh well... I wasn't digging the shirt though. Or Amanda's for that matter.
I agree that AI needs new stylists... or to stop giving the contestants H & M gift certificates and telling them to pick what they want. Whatever will save us all from their fashion blunders.
I like subdued-Mikalah. I didn't like the turtleneck she had on... but a quiet Mikalah is a good Mikalah.
