Let's go.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Blake was fine - vocals still not great, but he's unique and it'll carry him.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Fun performance by Blake although I am crushed by the fact that 311 is his favorite band...well not crushed, just disappointed. He picked an easy song but at least he's unique and I actually enjoy his performances.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

I liked it! Nice job Blake.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

i'm feeling blake lewis as the cool guy at your local bar (and a nice cool guy too)..

but i'm sure not feeling his greatness

sundance will be interesting.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

So I'm the only one who thought Blake was laughably bad?

I expected them to rip him a new one after that. I'm shocked. The fix is in, buy your Blake now I guess.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Sanjaya not as terrible as last week.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

sanjaya has good hair...

singing is off already... ouch!!!

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

After this week's four-person elimination, does it go to a two-person elimination or immediately to a single-person elimination once they get to 12?

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Sanajaya . . . hula . . . ah no . . I'm not surprised

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

paula SPEECHLESS.... LOL.. how bad is that

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Single person elimination at top 12.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

I thought Sanjaya did very well. Good song choice.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Sundance sounds terrible. But the song choice will appeal to his base and get him through.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Sundance: Not great, IMO. His only good points (read: he's weak otherwise) are the borderline screaming parts. He's a mediocre cover band singer at best.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

I'm on the West Coast, so will catch up on actually hearing the performances later. If I had time, I was going to make a "Where the value is" thread, perhaps to be made weekly. Not authoritative, just my 2c, with everyone else's welcome as well. Partially past posting now, but here were my original thoughts that I was going to expand on.

I would have gone with almost all guys, as I've already mentioned I think that the top girls are overvalued. Probably for leading guys, some value in Chris S and Blake at then price of 7-10 or less, and flyer value in Chris R at 4-6 and Phil Stacy at 0-2. No, they won't win, but have shots at doubling or tripling, whereas there's virtually no way that Melinda, for example, can double unless she makes the finale. Slight value in Jordin at 5-7, and don't see it in the other girls.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Sanjaya was awful, it was just so weak and blah. Sundance was OK, I don't know WHY you would pick that song on this show. This season will go down as the worst song choices ever.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Hate to say it but I agree with Simon. Bar band.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Well Blake picking a 311 song wasn't great, but he put his "unique" spin on it. Sundance, like Simon said, sounded like a bar singer doing a cover song.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

I have no idea what Simon means by indulgent, whenever he says it.

I thought all 3 perfomances were meh. Blake sounded off-key at the beginning when he sang (but his act saved him as always), Sundance sounded smaller than the song.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

not too many pitchy comments... sanjaya was worse than that... i think paula's right. he got better thru the song

laughably ? . . . yah you are probably alone on that. It was not his best for sure . . . but laughable ? . . . not with this group.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

i think chris R >>>>>> blake lewis... and i have no bias.... doesn't seem like a kid.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Chris R - probably best performance so far.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Finally someone calls him out on his nasally crap. You know the boys are really bad this year if this is the guy they're gonna push down our throats.

i don't want to sound like simon. but he's like some cute (to girls) and good singer at your local karaoke bar. nothing more... so i'd say i agree.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

So Simon said "Just stick to the singing" as an inside joke to Paula, not Ryan, in response to criticism from Paula over the years for making fun of contestants' weight (he's mostly stopped). I'm not sure if that was obvious to everyone else, but if not, I hate myself for figuring that out.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

I liked this Chris R. performance better than his others by a long shot. I'm surprised he was able to sing a song like that so well. But yes, his voice is nasally and fairly annoying.

lol, that's what my friend keeps telling me. That he's too nasally!

I thought it was a good song choice for him. I think he warbled a little here and there but overall nice job.

I don't even dislike him, and I think he's been very good thus far, especially compared to the rest of the guys. But he was totally off key the entire song and that song just doesn't go with AI, hell the judges all said that they never heard of the song and couldn't understand a word he said.

The whole thing just seemed out of place and bad to me.

did you watch it muted?

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Is the volume on the microphone too low or something?

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

i personally like jared, but huge roadkill, i think

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

What the bloody hell was that?

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Question is: If Jared doesn't go this week, who does? Phil and Brandon? I still think Sanjaya is unfortunately safe.

Edit: I am not implying that I think Jared is safe.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

phil or brandon doing lian rhimes? i don't think it's going to be positively received....... they're both pretty wimpy and lame, even though i hope brandon picks it up.

Re: **Boys night 3/6/07 Thread**
 

Brandon picked up the tempo from his usual sound, but he still doesn't sound great.
