8-)Ok first I was a little pissed that they pushed this thing to 9:00.. I am not a big fan of Big Brother I would have loved them to have just canceled the thing for the night... so anyhow on with the show..
It was cool they had 2 originals this night.. I was happy to see Patrice and Ryan get them. Patrice because I thought this would give her a chance to save herself and Ryan because I think he has some song writing abilities that I was anxious to see.. i still would like to hear some original Lukas or Dilana.. for the rest of the songs I thought Storm was killing herself by taking Cryin and I questioned why Dilana would run naked for a song as sucky as Every Breathe You Take.. by the way I think the Police suck..so I am biased.. so onto the Performances... this was a tough one to rank.. I thought this could have been the best night of performances yet.. as it should be with only 7 left.
1- Ryan - I thought his original was killer.... I thought his performance vocal wise and moving around wise was really cool.. he played the guitar with some feel and rocked.. they gave him too much credit for making the Throwing Your Guitar Move.. because they had just questioned Magni on why he didnt play the guitar...His answer was that it restricted him.. Tommy made the comment that he could throw it to the side after starting with it... So Ryan totatlly ripped off this piece of advice.. but overall I thought this was a great performance.. The song was better then Super Novas by the way.
2- Storm- I didnt know where to rank her.. I thought she may have been even with Magni and Lukas.. but I am putting her at 2.. for the fact that this song is super difficult to sing considering Steven Tyler sings it.. I thought she held my attention during the slow part of the song and brought it for the chrous... I was shocked that she pulled it off so well.. So I am putting her at 2..
3- Lukas - another questionable ranking.. Magni could have been even with him.. I thought he did great.. I did question him turning his back to the crowd so much.. and Gilby did make this comment.. I understand why he does it... I just feel that he has to let the crowd know he loves them or they are not going to vote for him in the end.. but overall I thought the singing was great..
4- Magni - I thought he did a great job at Nirvana.. but I put him at 4 because he didnt do anything to make me remember him.. Lukas I feel does this and Storm did that also.. but he did it well... another good performance
5- Dilana- people are going to question me ranking her so low.. but I dont rank people based on history.. I rank them on what they do that night.. Like I said before I have no idea why she wanted this song so bad.. to me this was the I Will Survive song of the night... She explained why she wanted it at the end of the song... because it was her mothers favorite song and she hasnt spoken to her for years... an Ok reason but nothing I would try to risk taking a crap song for at the end of this competition.. but anyway.. I thought she was unexciting in most of the song.. she did come on a little in the bridge part where Sting gets really high in his range.. and she did a good job... but overall I thought it was boring and I thought she could have made it more her own and rocked it a little bit more...
6- Toby - ranked pretty low.. but I dont think he gave a bad performance at all.. he is just getting to the point where the competition is getting better then him.. Gilby said he didnt like the version of Layla.. I liked it.. I thought he was good but not great.. but still a solid performance..
7- Patrice - this was her chance to shine with an original song and get herself out of the hole she was in... It just didnt happen for me.. I thought overall the song wasnt half bad.. again I thought this was a better song then Super Novas.. Super Nova said the song was too happy for them.. but to me this was very similiar to the song they had in cheese happiness factor... The reason she didnt save herself was her vocal ability once again.. I thought she was very weak with little range and struggled.. This should never happen on an original song.. You should write something that suits your voice and strengths.. I would think its a lock that she is gone....
thats it.. until next week Keep Your Feet on The Ground and Your Head to The Stars..
