not as boring, but not great either - the guys, week 2

another kinda blah night, with a few very notable exceptions:

elliot - "moody's mood for love"

oustanding. i love how it looks somewhat effortless to this guy, and he just pulls off everything he's trying to do.

gedeon - "a change is gonna come"

wow. i loved this. he's george huff with a better voice. much better voice... i can't believe he's only 17!?!

chris - "hemorrhage"

godDAMN! this dude's got pipes. I usually turn this tune off when it's on the radio, but if he had been singing it, i woulda left it on.


taylor's version of "easy" was really good, bordering on great ~ unfortunately he didn't do enough with it. he's still one of my favorites; if not my overall favorite due just to his pure love of what he's doing.

ace - "if you're not the one". (thanks, beto) the judges were easy on him, i thought he sounded flat and was struggling through most of this. simon could tell. it doesn't matter though, the ladies and paula's guy frends will give him another chance.

kevin - "i heard it through the grapevine" I thought this was the worst performance of the night, and i don't know what the fuck randy was smoking, commending him on his 'run' at the end. he's the kelli pickler of the guys however, and he won't be going home tonight. simon is the only one to tell it like it is.

will - "lady" this wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, but this kid does not have the voice to pull off kenny rogers. he'll stick around though, and simon will make him cry eventually. What was up with ryan molesting him?

bucky - "the thunder rolls" this always sounded more like a meatloaf song than a garth brooks tune to me. bucky did his thang though, dawg. a little better than just okay for me.


i wish kevin would get booted for his shit performance, but he won't. i think these two will:

sway - "overjoyed"

it's too bad, i think this guy has promise, and i don't get randy telling him this was bad, but complimenting kevin. WTF?!?! this wasn't great and it was pretty shaky, though.

david - "the way you look tonight"

yawn. next!
