4/8: Top 8 performance show

Sorry. I’ve been playing tennis and forgot to post a fresh entry for live blogging. So here ya go. I’ll be watchin’ tape delayed.

Paula’s pups are out in force today.

First up: Michael Johns (“Dream On” Aerosmith) He used this song as a template for his own life. “Dreams come true and it’s happening to me,” he said. As noted in the last blog entry, the pure rock thang doesn’t work quite as well for him as the bluesy-soul stuff. This song has some bluesy elements to it so it’s actually not a bad fit but he isn’t quite as edgy or dirty as Steven Tyler to truly pull it off from a performance standpoint. Vocally, he hit it, even those high notes. Randy: “I thought it was a pretty good song choice but it had some pitch problems but I still don’t buy you as an Aerosmith. That’s not the singer you are.” Paula: “I couldn’t disagree more. It was a perfect song for you to pick. You sound as good as you look. The high notes, I think my chihuahuas are going to join you on stage.” Simon: “It was a very good performance. What I’m slightly with Randy. I don’t like it when you do an impersonation of a rock star. I prefer the more blues/R&B of last week… it was a little bit wannabe-ish.” B-plus/A-minus. (I tended to agree with Simon on this one.)

Syesha Mercardo (“I Believe” Fantasia) Oh, boy. Talk about risky. Taking on Fantasia’s signature “Idol” winning song. I’ve seen Fantasia do this live and it’s a sight to behold. I’ve gotten those dreaded Paula goosebumps. I can’t imagine Syesha could match it no matter how much I like her. She does a fine job but it may come to connecting with the audience. And like being compared to Whitney last week, being compared to Fantasia is a losing proposition. She simply doesn’t connect to that emotional level. Randy; “You took another tiger this week. Fantasia is one of the best singers. She has that special connection I didn’t find with you… she sang the living daylights out of it.” Paula: “She has her own unique style. You flipped it and made it your own. This was one of your most shining nights.” Simon: “To be fair, there’s going to be a comparison.. technically, I thought you sang it very well. However, what it lacked was that big wave of emotion when Fantasia sang it. I want to find out what you are all about.” B-plus/A-minus

Jason Castro (“Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Israel Kamakawiwo’ole) - This is my favorite version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” You might remember it from the Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore film “50 First Dates.” Jason pretty much apes that version with the ukelele but it’s still lovely, his best performance in weeks. Great song choice. And the crowd is no longer waving their arms out of sync, thank goodness. Randy: “Dude. Jason Castro is back in the hunt. That was the hottest tonight.” Paula: “You have the most definitive sound… it was the perfect song and I loved that version.” Simon: “Fantastic!” A/A-minus

Kristy Lee Cook (“Anyway” Martina McBride) A smart song choice but can she surpass Martina? That won’t be easy. Our perennial bottom three singer lacks the purity of Martina’s voice but she puts her heart into it. The chorus is a nice touch. I actually liked it a lot. She might have sung herself into the safety zone. This was my favorite Kristy Lee Cook performance so far. Randy; “I loved that. That was really good.” Paula: ” You outdid yourself tonight. It was your best by far.” Simon: “Randy made a point. With a choice this broad, you have an opportunity to show who you really are. And I thought you were very very good indeed.” A-minus.
