It's the top twelve y'all...
Looking forward to seeing the song selection from the Rolling Stones Anthology. I think that the girls have a real chance to shine here, since anything they do will be a departure from Mick Jagger's take on the same song, and the guys would all have a hard time matching Jagger's swagger, especially since that 70s retro guy left in the first round of the top 24...
Alright, enough yammering. Here are my thoughts on each performance, notes and scribed before I hear the judges chiming in...
Michael Lynche: "Miss You" - Good falsetto, but disco is just not memorable, even when it's the Stones...
Didi Benami: "Playing With Fire" - This is the kind of arrangement that reveals how unnecessary most of the verses of Rolling Stones songs are. Just seemed mad, not sexy.
Casey James: "It's All Over Now" - I can't say that this was the best RS song in the world to pick, but again, he's so solid. I love his voice and he's just so dang consistent.
Lacey Brown: "Ruby Tuesday" - Now we're talking. I think overall it worked, though knowing that she's a PK makes me think that her voice mimicking Sixpence is more than just a happy coincidence...
Andrew Garcia: "Gimme Shelter" - not a fan of this arrangement. It's like if Richard Marx was forced at gunpoint to cover it with Mr. Mister in 1986.
Katie Stevens: "Wild Horses" - Man, why in the world would they lose the acoustic guitar? I'm really disturbed with these arrangements tonight. I don't think this is going to change the judges minds, but after the surprising vote last week, they might phone in a vote of confidence not to look like total heels.
Tim Urban: "Under My Thumb" - He is the clinical hybrid of every Disney Channel tween-dude on every show/musical/movie of the last 6 years. This song should not be reggae, and he should not sing reggae regardless. But puppydogs get votes.
Siobhan Magnus: "Paint it Black" - That was theatrical genius. At first I thought she was gonna fade out into boring with the uptempo section, but then... that note. She makes Adam Lambert sound like a warm turd.
Lee DeWyze: "Beast of Burden" - Like Casey, his voice is always right in the pocket. I bought it.
Paige Miles "Honky Tonk Woman" - I feel like this song should not be gender switched, but that's just me. She did great this week but still should have gone home last week. Fighting for her life.
Aaron Kelley: "Angie" - So it looks like his eyebrows' civil war have sent his toupee into convulsions. He's more talented than others in his category in years' past, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need to go home.
Crystal Bowersox: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - She's getting a little dolled up, and it's working. That was great, I wanted to hear the full song. March 28 y'all, at a CCC campus near you.
So who's going home? The judges didn't crucify anyone tonight, so it'll be interesting...
