The fix is still on. The judges are determined to have a Gaspy/Cook finale and their critique of the contestants reflected that. I am not a Syesha fan but she could have outperformed them all last night (and she was better than Upchuckuleta) and still been told by the judges that this would likely be the end of the road for her. I was just surprised that they made Paula do the dirty work.
Upchuckuleta - "And So It Goes" Billy Joel; "With You" - Chris Brown; "Longer" - Dan Fogelberg
The first and last song for Gaspy sounded exactly the same. Boring. I find it interesting that they get on the other contestants about originality and the need to sound contemporary yet Upchuck only has to show up and spew the same old stuff each week to glowing reviews. I will stop beating a dead horse. You all know that I can't stand this kid. I would like to comment on the judges letting him get away with butchering the words to the Chris Brown song THAT HE PICKED. I would give him a free pass on the songs picked for him, but there is no excuse for him to flub this up. Of course, the judges were nice enough not to mention it. They wouldn't want to alter the ending they have been waiting for. It was also very creepy to hear him calling a girl his "Boo" and talking about her "hot little figure". Eeeewwww!
Syesha - "If I Ain't Got You" Alicia Keys; "Fever" - Peggy Lee; "Hit Me Up" - Gia Farrell
I would like to start by giving everyone a little Syesha education. VFTW posted a clip this week of Syesha singing "If I Ain't Got You" on the cancelled talent show The One. Go here to watch her original performance of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS7C795bYp4. Now, if she has sung this on a televised competition before then you would think that she would have been able to nail it. That was not the case. It also rubbed me the wrong way that both Randy and Syesha acted as though they had no idea that she had performed this song before but was just an Alicia fan. Come on people, this is the internet age. There are no secrets anymore. "Fever" was okay and I will give her a pass on the Happy Feet song. I don't know why they would have picked that for her from all the songs out there.
David Cook - "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" Roberta Flack???; "Dare You To Move" - Switchfoot; "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" - Aerosmith
When I heard the list of songs that were going to be sung Tuesday night, I flipped out over Simon's choice for David. Roberta Flack?!?!?! They lob softballs at the other two and ask him to sing an old, slow, Roberta Flack song? Needless to say, I was somewhat distraught. I should have know better than to doubt my boy. He would never let me down. While I do not agree with Simon that it is David's best performance of the season, I was shocked at how he was able to pull it off. That alone proved that he is definitely the most talented this season. "Dare You To Move" was good and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" was predictably decent. In a perfect world, they would have chosen something better for him to sing but I guess they were trying to impress Diane Warren, who was in the audience. I can't wait to purchase my first David Cook album.
