I’d be fine with Candace winning! But I really like Kree the best!


Candice very good , but too much background production in her songs, and way too much judge hype..

Kree , more natural , and can sing anything Candice can with less effort.

Kree. For me...

I can’t stand Nikki. She is so rude...hopefully she won’t be back next year!

I hope they get rid of all the judges, with the possible exception of Randy. But something has to change. I can't imagine the producers want another season like this one.

I have a hunch the SHOW may not be here next season

That too.

Sorry I can’t agree this week. Kree singing Celine was downright painful.

Candace is consistently good.

Amber will be in jeopardy, but will get the save.

Janelle is too cute by half. The painted-on smile is a turnoff.

I think she’s the one that catty Lazarina was talking about.

I’m no fashion maven by any stretch of the imagination, but black and white says “HILLARY” to me.

Ladies of a certain age look good in bright colors.

Kree’s natural coloring (white skin, black hair) makes her fade into the background when she wears B&W, like an old dageurreotype.

No problem. Nice thing about the thread is we can all have our own opinions, and look forward to the differences in who we like, what we hear, etc .

Something tells me Janelle will go. We shall see.

One reason she goes is judges dilute the country vote, at least for,her.

Lazarina. LOL... Good one

LOL!! Songs like that always crack me up, because they sing them with such conviction, too, like they are super profound.

I figure they might as well use the save no matter who gets voted off tonight. Why not? It’s their last chance to use it. It’s not like they have to wait to see if they need to use it on somebody better later! So the saved person stays one more week? Makes no difference in the scheme of things.

The song is by Michel LeGrand. It isn't a Streisand song and she sure didn't try to sing like her. And it's a great, classic near-standard.

The mix was horrible. She was overpowered by an extremely busy, ham-fisted Ray Chew piano performance and her voice was mixed down.

The song is called "What Are You Doing For The Rest Of Your Life." Streisand isn't the source of the song. It was written by Michel LeGrand and it's been covered by hundreds of artists. It's a beautiful, harmonically sophisticated song with a difficult melody. Amber didn't sing it like BS, in fact, I've never heard this song sung in this particular style.

Ray Chew ruined the song with an extremely busy, indelicate, hamfisted piano approach and the sound man had Amber too far down in the mix...she was overpowered by Ray and the band. She is in jeopardy.

And when I say I’ve never heard the song performed in Amber’s style, I’m talking about her vocal performance. The style of the musical arrangement was fairly stock.

The Call Me Maybe girl. She was super annoying.

Carly Rae Jepsen...I just met you and this is crazy, but here’s my number so call me maybe? That girl with the annoying song!

I thought that was a Beiber song, lol.

I saw a picture of her and it looks like she had plastic surgery or something. Her face looked very different.

Hi Jonny! The question of the night is will they or won’t they use the save? Last chance for it!

I probably liked Kree’s first song of the evening the best. Really like that style of music etc.

Me too.
