Where the boys are
By Michele
Boys night out, 2/22
Blah blah blah rehash of last night. I'll be with you when the guys actually start singing.
Patrick up first. This guy is an unknown entity to me.
Interesting song choice. And not a good one for him. Ok, is it just me? I didn't really care for that performance at all. It was blah.
David.
If you're gonna do a Queen song, this isn't the one to do.
I hate him. Wow. I am HATING on his voice right now. He sounds like a bird going through puberty.
That was awful, David. AWFUL.
Bucky up. Doing Skynyrd. At least it's not Freebird.
Bucky has groupies that look like Jersey escaped to Tennessee.
i see where he wants to go with this, but he's not getting there. Did not like this. 0/3 on my end tonight. And he's got this certain Beavis vibe going on.
Will up. I like Will!
His voice is way too young. I like it, and I want to like it more. But he needs to mature a bit. A few octaves deeper, a few years later, he will be smokin'. It was a fun performance, though and that can carry you a long way in AI. That and a really cute smile.
Sway up.
Ack. No. I am so not liking this. It's making my ears itchy.
My man Chris is up next.
He's doing BON JOVI? Rock on! I'm gonna go tease my hair for this.
Ohhhhh yea. I am loving this. And him. My favorite performance of the night so far. But I wanted to hear him say I SEEN A MILLION FACES, AND I ROCKED THEM ALL!!
* lighter out *
Kevin up. LOCAL BOY! I know people who know him!
He has a pretty mature voice for a kid, but his face - it's like a kewpie doll.
That was pretty damn good.
Gideon up.
Hmm. Odd song choice. I do like his voice a lot, and he's got a good personality. But I don't think this song is great for showing your stuff.
Elliot up.
Elliot is sounding very Love Boat tonight. I want to like him. He seems really likeable. But this performance, while good, is nothing special.
Ok, the judges and I heard two different things. Maybe I need to engage in some ear candling or something.
Bobby doing the worst song ever recorded in history.
Eh. I did not love that.
And the lickable Ace is up.
One million teenage girls just creamed their pants as they ran for the phone.
i don't think this song did much to show off his voice, but that's really a moot point. He's got the female 12-15 demographic vote.
Geez, I think Simon has the hots for him, too.
Taylor up next.
Oh, this is going to be a good song for him.
I'm sorry, but he freaks me out sometimes.
It's good, but I keep waiting for ...oomph.
Ok, I am voting for Chris tonight.
See y'all tomorrow.
Patrick. Takin' on Melissa.
He can sing. But he shouldn't be doin' Melissa.
Not impressed.

I mean I REALLY hate this.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:19 PM
Okay, not just me. Good to know.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:19 PM
Worst. Lounge act. EVER.
Posted by: robyn at February 22, 2006 08:19 PM
What is it with people defiling Freddy Mercury?
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 08:21 PM
At least David has cute dimples.
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:24 PM
Good Grief. we're 0 for 2 today. Patrick was terrible. David was weak, but better than Patrick. This better get better soon. Pothead is up next. This ought to be interesting.
Posted by: Chris at February 22, 2006 08:26 PM
Bucky needs to lose the 'stache. He looks like he walked out of the 70s!
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:28 PM
Bucky.
Yeee freakin' ha.
He likes Skynard...go figure.
Okay...he growls.
NEXT!!!
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:29 PM
Can't remember the lyrics? Better get off the weed dude. Wow a shiny object. Ok this is different. Just don't turn around or you'll really trip out.
Posted by: Chris at February 22, 2006 08:29 PM
Bucky is making me cry. I wanted to like him, but...eh...
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:30 PM
Too much corn liquor will do weird things to ya.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:33 PM
Donny Osmond is up doing the Jackson 5. Ok, Will is the best so far. This is good. Finally we have a decent performance.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 08:40 PM
This boy is SO going to get laid.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:40 PM
Wouldn't "One Bad Apple" have been a better song choice?
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:42 PM
I think you're right Denise/Chris. He's very Donny Osmond...without the pipes.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:43 PM
"Where there's a Will, there's a Sway."
Gah. It took them all night to think that one up, didn't it?
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:43 PM
Too bad, Timmer. :)
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 08:45 PM
"sway" is up. Haven't been impressed with him. Singing Earth Wind and Fire. This is torture.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 08:46 PM
Jose needs to go far asway. Chris is up next.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 08:48 PM
Oh Come On. That was so much better than the Donny Osmond clone.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:49 PM
Bon Jovi? This is either gonna be amazing or awful :)
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 08:53 PM
OH YEAH! This is good. Finally someone knocks it out!
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 08:54 PM
Oh. Yeah. That's the stuff. Awesome!
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 08:55 PM
Chris.
First of all, great haircut! (Rubs my shaved head.)
I want to like him more than I do...ya know?
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 08:55 PM
That was by far the best of the night so far. So much better than the others. The judges are in agreement.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 08:57 PM
Yup. This is the first one tonight I'd actually vote for. And an mp3's in order too I believe...
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 08:57 PM
Kevin "computer nerd" Corvais is up. Let's see. "One Last Cry"? Gutsy. Looks like he wants to cry. Too stiff.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:05 PM
Kevin reminds me of Mr. Mackey from South Park, mmkay?
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 09:05 PM
Not the worst. 3rd place so far. Quite a drop from Chris though. Way to stiff. Nerves got the best of him. Either that or no personality.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:06 PM
Ian. YES absolutely. HAHAHA!
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:06 PM
Gedeon. Singing Shout! Wow, cue Animal House. Otis Day and the Nights did it better in the movie, but this isn't bad.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:15 PM
Simon's right, the smile is pure Reverand with the collection plate out.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:17 PM
Put him in second or third place. Not bad at all. Compared to the bottom half (Pothead, Patick, David and Sway) he's a star.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:20 PM
This is sweet. Not one of my favorite Stevie songs either.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:25 PM
Elliot - doing Stevie W. I want to like him, I really do. He had to battle one of the twins. But I don't know. He's got that gas station attendant look about him. Still not too bad.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:26 PM
Bobby Bennett - I've never seen this guy! He's got sort of a Cab Calloway vibe...wierd.
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 09:29 PM
Barry Manilow. Copa.
I wouldn't like this song if Bo sang it.
I need a cig.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:29 PM
Bobby Bennet. Copa Cabanna? Yick. I don't like this at all. Dude, Satan called. He needs his soul torture machine back.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:30 PM
Thank you Simon, that *was* awful.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 09:32 PM
I don't like this song...but this guy can sing.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:42 PM
Pretty Boy Ace is up doing George Michael. Ok this is good. Tough song to pull off and he's doing it well. Yeah, the female vote is locked up there.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:42 PM
Ace is just too good to be true. (And his brother.) I've already reserved his album on Amazon.com!
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 09:45 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, Paula's next scandal.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 09:45 PM
All right. Taylor is up. I've been waiting for this.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:49 PM
Taylor Hicks.
He can really sing soul and blues.
The Joe Cocker spasms are going to get on my nerves though.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:51 PM
YEAH! I don't know why, but I really like this guy. Great song.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:52 PM
Taylor definitely put the soul in that song!
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 09:52 PM
Really, really nice.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 22, 2006 09:52 PM
...but I could just listen to him forever.
Posted by: Timmer at February 22, 2006 09:54 PM
Top 3: Chris, Ace, Taylor.
Going home: Sway and Bobby.
Ladies going home: Brenna (please) and Stevie.
Posted by: chris at February 22, 2006 09:55 PM
I missed Kevin Covais before. I kinda gives me the creeps. Gedeon was pretty good. The look Ace gave at the end kinda made me laugh. I don't think it was supposed to.
I like Chris, Ace, Taylor and Sway. I'd like to see Taylor win, but he probably won't.
Posted by: Denise at February 22, 2006 10:00 PM
Chris has my vote. I like Elliot (local), and Taylor a lot.
I absolutely hate Copacabana. I think Bobby is definitely gone.
Posted by: nastybastard at February 22, 2006 10:09 PM
Damn, I missed all the fun here.
I loved Taylor Hicks tonight! And yeah, pretty boy Ace was good too. I wanted him to be crap.
Posted by: Beth at February 22, 2006 10:10 PM
Kevin's a cute little boy, but he reminds me of Davey of the Davey & Goliath show from the 60s and 70s (okay, I'm dating myself with that one!). Check out Davey at http://www.daveyandgoliath.org/.
