Songs of the cinema, tonight? This sounds like a fun theme. It's interesting, at least! Quentin Tarantino? - Hi, weird movies...I'm skeptical of you as a mentor.
What have you got for us, kids?:
01 Allison Iraheta - "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" from Armageddon. This feels like a perfect song choice for her. A ballad, but edgy nonetheless. I think it started off well, but for me it got really funky in the middle. And when I say "funky, " I mean "she didn't hit her notes." That's certainly out of character for her. It felt disjointed and a little low? It never quite got there for me. Wasn't my favorite, but Paula and Simon love it? She is FOR SURE the girls' best hope, but I just wasn't feelin it. Maybe it sounded different through the TV. That's always my fallback.
02 Anoop Desai - "Everything I Do" from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Another ballad...I think Anoop's figured it out? I also think Quentin was quite right; Anoop's gotta make it a little dirty. I think this is such a pretty song. I think he sang it very well. Same ol' Anoop, I guess. It's nothing I'll want to download later, but it's pretty.
Is it just me, or does Randy look a little reminiscent of Charlie Brown with that sweater? Just in blue... (: I bet it drives Simon CRAZY to not get to talk after each one. I'm glad I still have Kara.
03 Adam Lambert - "Born to be Wild" from Easy Rider. Oh, the guyliner is back en force. I seriously don't see how anyone can beat him at this point. He's not necessarily someone that I would like to listen to all the time (I sometimes grow weary of The Scream), but he is surely a brilliant vocalist. My favorite quote ever: "You dare to dance in the path of greatness." -Paula WHAT?
04 Matt Giraud - "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" This is such a pretty song. I like that he's getting back to the piano and putting his brilliant soul vibe back in there. I think he totally lost it vocally in the big part of the song. I prefer his easy falsetto. It was a mixed bag for me.
05 Danny Gokey - "Endless Love" I love his voice. And I'm totally digging the harp on stage (that was for my mom). I think I heard the first iffy note from him...but I quickly forgot it. I really liked it. I think it was really emotional for him and I do NOT know how he sang it. I would love to see him bust out a totally unexpected arrangement soon. Just once, at least.
06 Kris Allen - "Falling Slowly" from Once. I don't know this movie or this song. But I know that I have a crush on Kris. I think it started a little rough. To me it feels sorta choppy. It is really nice for me when he sings higher. I think it was pretty good, but maybe too obscure of a song choice.
07 Lil Rounds - "The Rose" OhmygoshIcan'twaittohearhergogospel. I have been waiting for this moment for all my life. I like that she kept it pretty at the beginning. I think there are some really wonderful moments, but some of it felt just a touch off to me. That hurts my feelings just a little bit. Simon is right, though, it's not the Lil we came to love. Lil's right, too, though...she did what she thought they wanted her to do.
I do not want Lil to go home, but I think she was the weakest link. I also think Matt and Anoop could be in danger. I think Quentin actually added some nice constructive criticism for the singers.
PEACE.
