Culturally Preconditioned

Well the guys were considerable better this week, but that’s not really saying much. I still think this is the year for the girls to win. It would be a travesty if anyone from tonight gets the title this year.

1. Phil (Missing You by John Waite)
Oh great, a dedication to the Army. The performance was buetter than the best male performance last week, but like I said, that’s not saying much. I’m not a big fan yet, but at least his vocals are better than Egghead Daughtry. Just my two cents :p  6 out of 10.

2. Jared (Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye)
Say what you want about this song, but I must be the only person on the planet who absolutely hate it. Sexiest song evah? Not for me. Jared’s falsettos were pretty good. It was cool, but I just really really do not like this song. 7 out of 10

3. AJ (Feeling Good by the Pussycat Dolls or whoever they covered)
Okay here’s the thing. He’s got a good voice, but I don’t like the camp performances. I think would totally love it if he was doing a drag performance though. 5.5 out of 10.

4. Sanjaya (Steppin’ Out With My Baby by Irving Berlin)
Ick! I hate his perpetual Cheshire Cat grin, almost as much as I hate the retarded Astro Raja Lawak advertisments (what absolute filth!). Again, he’s got a good voice, but I don’t like to see him perform. And the performance was just really below average. 4 out of 10.

5. Chris Sligh (Trouble by Ray LaMontagne)
Can I just say his wife is hot? Nice voice. Nothing exceptional. And actually borderlining on just plain boring. 6 out of 10.

6. Nick (Fever by Peggy Lee)
What is this? Big Bad week? I actually like the hoarseness in his voice. But again, nothing really special, and the ending was a bit dodgy. 6 out of 10.

7. Blake (Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai)
Keane? Jamiroquai? OMG I totally love this guy for his song choices. Nott he best male vocals, but he’s definitely marketable. It was really nice to hear him beatboxing for a bit (and more importantly not overdoing it). This was a self indulgent performance but it worked. 6.5 out of 10

8. Brandon (Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper)
He fucked up the lyrics and the performance bored me to tears. I hate it when people kill this song (but nobody’s done worse than Nadia Turner’s take on this classic). 5 out of 10.

9. Chris Richardson (Geek In The Pink by Jason Mraz)
This guy is so similar to Blake. Not the best vocally, but he’s marketable, AND I love his song choices. He;s not a vocal powerhouse but neither is Jason Mraz, and he knows it. That was pretty hot. 6.5 out of 10.

10. BearManPig aka Sundunce. (Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett)
Well that’s what people are calling him at Sucks. Now why do all the fatties on the show get the hawt women? Grrr. Well at least he sung an upbeat song. But… mehh. 4 out of 10.

Don’t really care who stays or go from this group. I’m glad I was wriong about Rudy not making it through (I thought America would go for the looks). His encore performance last week was excruciating to watch. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… I never noticed Fantashia lisped so much until I heard her perform last week. Shishta shishta.. for fucks sake., is this bitch for real? Anyway, prediction for this week’s boot .. gotta be Brandon and hopefully ManBearPig.
