The following quotes pretty much sum up the top eight males.
Randy Jackson – “It wasn’t the best night for the boys.”
Simon Cowell – “Overall it’s been a very disappointing night tonight”
I really couldn’t say it any better. Overall the talent tonight was just mediocre at best. I mentioned earlier today that Sanjaya Malakar and Sundance Head needed to pick it up to make it to the top twelve overall and they weren’t able to do that. They’re both pretty popular so they might make it through but it won’t be based on tonight’s vocals.
Blake Lewis was up first and sang a tune that no one recognized (for the record the song is “All Mixed Up” by 311 from 1995) but he did a good job with it. Randy Jackson said “Didn’t recognize the song but I love it.” Even Simon Cowell was drawn in by the performance saying “You’re current…100% you’ll be here next week.” Simon, I concur!
Chris Richardson was up fourth and sang a Keith Urban tune. Richardson’s voice was a little off but overall it was a good performance. Jackson was excited about the performance; “You put the boys on blast…dude I like this…this kid is in it to win it.” While Simon liked the performance he was “not jumping out “ of his chair. Honestly Simon, I don’t think you’ve ever jumped out of your chair.
