Here we go...and for some reason, FOX isn't working on my TV right now.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

I am ready to gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

p,s, After Idol, turn to Discovery Channel and check out the new series of "Deadliest Catch" It is an awesome show and you will get hooked!

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Blake Lewis...Mack the Knife

Seems spoilers are wrong...at least so far

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Yep. They're supposed to be wrong as far as we know.

Blake sounds good so far. I like his sound with this.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

these words sung in an upbeat fashion seems a little. . . strange.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Not bad at all for Blake.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Very good stuff by Blake. I think that was my favorite of his performances. Very toned down and reserved, but cool.

For -Al:
Blake - Mack the Knife

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

well the "attention whore" went out on a limb saying those songs were wrong, especially if he was making stuff up.

so far, he's one for one.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Forgetable. I don't think it appeals to anyone except his core fans as far as voting is concerned.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

I don't know, I think it shows us a little bit different side of Blake. Usually I'm not a huge fan of Blake's vocals, but those were pretty solid minus a few minor areas.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

lol at Tony Bennett telling Blake he should throw away what he does best and try to be a poor man's Tony Bennett.

But the judges liked it, or at least said they did, so America will too I guess.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Blake was pretty good.

Looks like I dont get Deadliest Catch in HD?? That sucks, does anyone?

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Not in HD [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
huuuge bummer

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

however many weeks it's been . . . and phil's head STILL creeps me out a little.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Phil always seems to start off flat.

On a very random side note, Nick Pedro would be good at this week.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

phil certainly does sound like how I would expect a lounge singer would sound

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Phil ...Night and Day

I think he sounds pretty damn good.
I really like his outfit...I think it fits his look the best of all the things he has worn.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

That lasted like 45 seconds?!?

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Phil - Night and Day

Wow, I thought that was really bad.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Phil is good at copying. Last week he imitated Sting. This week he's doing Tony Bennet.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Paula says Phil reminds him of a young Frank Sinatra. I think I look forward to her comments more than anything on this show.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Goodbye Phil!

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Phil is sweating like a whore in Church.

she's the sanjaya of judges. I enjoy them both for their ridiculousness.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

There's a very good chance Phil is gone this week...


Why are the good contestants going early?

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

I am so sick of Shrek acting shocked about anything complementary. Enough already.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

doolittle really isn't impressing me this week.


edit: okay, the way she ended the song was good.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Damn she's good.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Wish Melinda could sing " I've Got a Neck"

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Melinda's got a pretty dynamic performance tonight. Good mix showing her strengths with various tempos.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Additionally, I don't think Lakisha can do that.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

i know it's tony bennett week, but how many cabaret songs is melinda going to do?... has anyone told simon those songs haven't been popular for 50 years?.....

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

hey simon stole my "cabaret" complaint!!! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Melinda is getting slightly better at not acting surprised.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Do we know anything about tonight.. mainly who is going last?

I noticed that as well.
It seems like she starts to do it, then catches herself.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Sorry Al, I can't keep up with the names of these songs. "Who Could Ask for Anything More?"

As Simon alluded to, it's almost pointless to offer appraisal of Melinda. She's about flawless.

i want to know when sanjaya's is going.... want to hit the liquor store before 9.......... i don't think they paraded around at the start. they did show them on a staircase, but wasn't sure if it was left to right (if it was, sanjaya will be in the middle i.e. soon)

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

Awesome. Thank God Melinda actually sang something I enjoyed listening to, so I don't have to feel bad for not liking it.

Re: ***Official Top 9 Show Thread***
 

This is like a bad copycat of what Blake did.
