Told you it was a crap shoot! The over-the-top finish that Siobhan Magnus did on “Any Man Of Mine” was over the line for much of America. So, she’s out and Little Edward Norton is still in. Heck, Aaron Kelly wasn’t even in the Bottom 3. The only one I actually got right was Michael Lynche. This is the second time in as many weeks that Casey James has been in the Bottom #3, so he may be on his last leg. That means Casey may have one more “at the bat” next week.
Incredible show last night with great performances by Lady Antebellum and a new “Country” act called Sons Of Sylvia. Sons Of Sylvia is a new band that’s touring with Carrie Underwood and they’re close cousins to Kings Of Leon. Have no idea why anybody would classify S.O.S. as “Country”, cuz they sound like the second coming of U2. I guess it’s because the lead singer held a fiddle the whole time he sang. He didn’t even play it, but if you’ve got a fiddle, dagnabbit, then yer Country. Yee-haw!
Rascal Flatts performed last night, too, but Gary Vox was not in his best vox. I don’t know if there was a problem with his in-ear monitors or what, but he was pitchy, Dogg. Besides that, the guy creeps me out. He has what a psychologist would call “flat affect.” The dude’s facial expression never changes. He never smiles, frowns, winces—nothin’. Weird.
And did you notice how smoothly the show moves without the mind-numbing chatter of the judges?
Here’s the Fab Five and how I rank ‘em on talent alone:
- Crystal Bowersox
- Michael Lynche
- Casey James
- Lee DeWyze
- Aaron Kelly
Here’s how I rank ‘em on how I think America will vote:
- Crystal Bowersox
- Lee DeWyze
- Aaron Kelly
- Michael Lynche
- Casey James
