Thankfully a few of the top ten males took the girl’s seriously and stepped up their game a bit. I don’t think that they came anywhere near the stellar performances that so many of the females brought to the stage last week but overall the guys improved tenfold over their performances from last week – thank heavens!
Since I’m a Sundance Head fan I’m going to start off by saying YAY! I am so glad that Sundance brought back a little of the performer we got to see in his original audition; that is what attracted me to him in the first place and I knew he had it in him to bring it out again. He aptly chose to sing “Mustang Sally” and dedicated it to his infant son, Levi. This was a great performance and a perfect song choice. When he finished Randy Jackson immediately jumped in saying “Wow, wow, wow” then when on to say “Welcome back, Sundance. That’s the reason you’re here.” Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell both agreed with Cowell saying “I’m glad we got the Sundance back that we really like…I still think you can do better.” I agree with Cowell, I know Sundance can do better and I can’t wait to hear it!
The other big standout for the night, in my opinion, was Chris Richardson who chose to sing “Geek in the Pink” by Jason Mraz. Randy Jackson feels that “Chris is in it to win it tonight! I think that was hotter than the original…I am lovin’ you tonight.” Richardson even captured Simon Cowell’s attention; “You’re somebody to watch…best tonight by a mile.”
It’s hard to pick a bottom two but I’m going to have to sadly say that Sanjaya Malakar belongs in the bottom. His performance was just corny and this is coming from a fan! Like Randy Jackson said “This was really weird for me, it was like a bad high school talent show.”
Tomorrow night we get to see and hear the girls again – I’m excited to see if they all bring their ‘A’ game.
