I hated the performances last week because I disliked the Diana Ross songs they featured. This week we got cool 60s British invasion tunes, and it was a whole lot better.
Song selection is everything as far as I'm concerned. We got a number of gems last night and the result was an entertaining collection of songs. Even that Sanjaya Malakar managed to sound respectable... sorta.
Here are my three favourites from last night:
- Melinda Doolittle
- Jordin Sparks
- Blake Lewis
Here are my three least favourite from last night:
- Phil Stacey
- Chris Richardson
- Sanjaya Malakar
I felt very odd last night watching Sanjaya Malakas performance of “You Really Got Me.” He totally butchered a song that I usually enjoy. The whole thing was uncomfortable for me to watch.....the performance, listening to all that praise from the judges, as well as watching the crying girl. Yet, I could not look away....in a train wreck sort of way.
I also got the feeling that Peter Noone wasn't too impressed with any of the guys.
