Some random comments about last night's show...
I thought the judges were off base with their harsh comments to like, the first 6 performers last night. I didn't think any of them were awesome, but I don't understand how you can say Jessica or Anthony was horrible, and then later rave over Scott's lukewarm rendition of 'Ain't Too Proud to Beg'. And speaking of which, they are great songs, no argument, but I am so over Motown, and never want to hear one of those songs again. Or maybe I just don't want to hear piss-poor versions of them.
The big winners last night were Dusty Springfield, Blood Sweat & Tears, and Burt Bacharach/Hal David, all with two songs each. And boos to that poser, Constantine for saying 'You Made Me So Very Happy' was a Motown song. I could maybe see one of the other contestants making that mistake, but a supposed "rocker" should know better.
The big winner in the competition last night was Nadia Turner. She looked great, and she sang the hell out of that Dusty Springfield song. I had stated earlier that I thought Jessica and Carrie were stronger women, but Nadia is growing on me, and I retract that statement. Speaking of looking great, I thought all of the girls looked hot last night, which I guess is attributable to the better makeup and hair styling you get when you are a finalist.
Nikko... what a freaking joke. And, I'm sorry, 'I Want You Back' does not qualify as a 60's song. Hope you didn't unpack, buddy, because you are going home.
