Gloria Estefan in the 80's....Great, loved her. Gloria Estefan songs sung by the American Idol finalists...Bad, hated it. Most of the performances last night were, well to quote Randy, "Just okay for me dawg." Our two remaining divas were pretty much unremarkable, except for LaToya's crazy dance routine, but the singing didn't blow me away. In fact, that has been the case with most of this season. Yes, Fantasia's singing Summertime brought a tear to my eye and was a great AI moment, but this season is just.....boring me. There, I said it. I admitted it, though I hate to. There is no one this season that I just love, that I root for every week. That I wear out my dialing finger for. In fact, I've only called in a few times this whole season to vote for anyone, and that was for Camille. Where is Clay? Where is Kelly? No one is standing out to me this season. After last weeks disappointment (don't get me wrong, I'm not especially disappointed that Jennifer left, just disappointed that John didn't leave before her as he should have) I decided that I will vote and I'll vote for the person I thought did the best that night, regardless of who it is. Last night I voted 4 times for Diana. Okay, so here's the breakdown if anyone is interested. Fantasia sang Get On Your Feet. It was just okay. Obviously not her type of song. Randy-great performance but vocally no Wow. Gloria-you haven't sung a bad note this whole competition. Paula-you look great tonight, good performance Simon-you sounded like a cartoon character. Donald Duck on helium. George sang Live For Loving You. On word....horrible. Randy-you worked it out (notice no dawg on this one) Gloria-great job Paula-great, so much fun, made Simon shimmy Simon-if this were the first time I had seen you perform I would be surprised to learn you were in the finals; amateurish LaToya sang Rhythm is Gonna Get You and it was just okay. She looked beautiful, very latin red dress, but her attempts at dancing to the latin beat were comical. Randy-you look beautiful, good, not Wowed Gloria-When the show first started I didn't know that I was going to be here, but I knew that you were going to be there. Paula-we need to hear more than a minute and 30 seconds of you; good Simon-there was a danger of you becoming boring, this was not your best vocals but you proved you can do more than just stand there and sing well. John sang Music of My Heart and it was probably the worst performance of the finals this far. It was worse than horrible. Somewhere there are cats still howling in response to his howls. The scary/sad part of the whole thing is that Gloria was trying to tell him to find someone he loved to sing the song to and he chose his grandmother! Not that I think there is anything wrong with loving your grandmother, or in singing to her, but I've about had it with his attraction to his grandparents and am beginning to worry about the kid. He's almost 17...can't he think of someone closer to his own age to sing a love song to? Anyway... Randy-your shoes are great, your a nice guy, it was horrendous Gloria-you made your grandma proud regardless Paula-valiant effort, you did your best Simon-you've stood here and taken every bullet like a man; you and latin music go together like chocolate and onions. Jasmine sang Here We Are and it was good, sort of out of tune in places but it was the best so far in the show. Randy-good song choice for you, I'd give it a 7 out of 10, a little pitchy Gloria-beautiful Paula-you have a powerhouse voice with a pretty tone Simon-at best it was a pleasant imitation, like a recording for elevator music, but tonight pleasant is good Last we had Diana who sang Turn the Beat Around and in my opinion did the best job of the evening. It wasn't always in tune and it wasn't her best performance of the season, but compared to those who performed before her she shined. Randy-mad talent Gloria-fantastic Paula-great week for you Simon-on the performance I give you a 7 the dress 0. To which she replied he can take her dress shopping for next week and he said Okay. Ryan promised they would tape it to show us. So, if there is any fairness in this world then John, Fantasia and George will be in the bottom three and John will go home. However, based on last weeks revelations about the voting America Fantasia or LaToya or George may be leaving tonight. We'll see.
