Can someone post the bottom three for each? I'm at work and the dvr is set for Ringer.
'The Message'
Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Adam -- America saved: Mathai, Pip, and Tony Lucca
Then out of the bottom 3 (Karla Davis, Kim Yarbrough, and Katrina Parker) he chose Katrina
Cee Lo -- America saved: Juliet Simms, Jamar, and James Massone
Out of the bottom 3 ( Erin Martin, Tony Vincent, and Cheesa) he chose Cheesa
That seems about right. Based on last night, I would have saved Tony but I'll just count my blessings that Erin is gone.
"The Voice" - is "Sweet Dreams" supposed to be sung in a menacing way?
Maybe if it's sung by a freaky clown.
Yeah, I agree, megan. I liked Tony, but understand why America probably didn't. And I was about to give unsolicited advice that maybe he should reel the creepy in, but then he did his song, and I said, you know, no. Go out as you mean to go on. If you're gonna get booted, get booted for doing what you want to do.
And anyway, yes, at least Erin's gone. Thank goodness. I loved that they addressed that America thought the brothers did better.
Tony sang the Marilyn Manson version of Sweet Dreams on The Voice, no? Or at least he tried to. Sadly, I never thought he had a special voice. I thought the right people went home and they could've taken Pip and Cheesa with them as they went.
It's hard to believe I'm enjoying Idol more than The Voice this year. It feels wrong.
Songs from the last two years? Really? This may be the most non-theme theme ever. And Akon? Most non-mentor mentor ever.
Skylar – Singing the Pickle on TV? Huh. OK. It’s a perfectly Skylar song with her kinda nasally Reba thing going on. She sounds good, but this song is crap. I mean, that should be obvious with any song introduced as a Kellie Pickler joint, but this is a really forgettable tune. And she’s going first. I’m sure she’ll be fine because she’s singing her nose off and twanging for all she’s worth. What’s with the burning trash cans on the stage, btw? Oh, set clowns. Why? And is Randy wearing a puka shell bracelet? Worst fashion year ever. How about “The roosters (or cocks if you must) may crow but the hens deliver the goods”? Could that work? Oh, Stephen. So close. This is your brain on drugs, kiddies.
Colton – Love the Way You Lie. OK. He can have his Rhianna moment. He’s only gonna emo it all the hell up anyway. And despite being challenged to break out of his box, the song sounded exactly the same at the end of his mentoring session as it did at the beginning. And I totally did not realize that this was an actual song rather than just a hook that Rhianna sang on that Em track. And now we know why - aside from the hook this may be the most boring song in creation. And oh, good lord. Why is this fool getting the smoke on the stage, string section, white piano treatment for doing the same performance he does every single week? Bored now. Ryan needs to go ahead and kiss Colton already. It's getting painful. If he were your real life friend, this is when you'd pull him aside and whisper "Boy, please. Colton is so not studying you. You're embarrassing yourself."
Elise and Phillip – Somebody That I Used to Know. This is the third time I’m hearing this song on TV this week. Good gravy, people. There are other songs. Phillip sounds really good. Better than he’s sounded in a while. Elise sounds amazing. Girl can just sing. Shame that the teenyboppers who rule this show will never let her win. They sound really good together. Maybe they should form a duo like on Simon’s terrible failure of a show. Are they just gonna sing duets every week now? When did that become a thing?
Jessica – Stuttering. Jazmin Sullivan is serious business, so this should be a good choice for her. And the Pinoy power? Then she definitely has a chance to take it all. They pushed Jasmine Trias all the way to F3 and she couldn’t sing at all. Damn. She was so good I forgot to take notes. That is just some unreal, almost criminal kinda good. And she looks amazing. Dress, shoes, hair, flawless. How can she be 16? Maybe she’s like that girl from that movie Orphan, passing herself off as a teenager when she’s really a 30 year old Russian hooker.
Joshua – Runaway Baby. Oh, Joshua, please wear a jacket that fits. He got a message from Fantasia? Awww. That was so sweet. I forgot they called this fool Mantasia. Ha! It’s still funny. So, I don’t know this song at all so that should be fun. I’m excited. Yay, backup dancer! Wow, this song is a lot of fun. I love the old school vibe. And he’s not just screaming at me the whole time. He sounds great. I loved that. Fun time, make you smile music. I think that’s the best he’s ever done. Randy, stop making X person’s gotta have it happen. It’s not going to happen any more than in it to win it, Dawg.
Hollie – Perfect. OK, I know that her family is from England but her brother has no accent. Why does she? Did she live there for some time? I just . . . it bugs me. Aww, buttercup. See how much better you sound when you sing on key? Sadly, she’s still a second rate Jessica. We already have one tiny body/big voice young girl on the show and she’s a lot better and just more interesting than her. But she sang very well tonight. For a change. Uh-oh, JLo came out with the “You look beautiful.” The judges all think she’s going home. And the audience doesn’t disagree. Not even any boos for Steven’s bad comments. And Randy is giving her points for trying? Wow. Ryan, why don’t you just eliminate her right now. Maybe they’re trying a reverse-fu on her in an effort to get Elise out? That was weird.
Phillip – Give a Little More. I don’t get the Colton v. Phillip smackdown. They’re very different. Anyway, oh my word. It’s like between last week and this week this fool went somewhere and learned how to sing. When did that happen? He’s still not my thing at all, but I get why he could be other people’s thing when he sings like this. For real though? That was kind of a nothing song. JLo’s right. It was boring. And like every other song he’s done ever. This kid seems like he desperately wants off this show. Won’t you help make that happen, America?
Boo. I don’t want Hollie sandwiched into my Joshua/Jessica goodness.
Hollie/Joshua/Jessica – Stronger. Wow. Terrible harmonies on this group. I don’t know who is off, but someone is just not right. What an unholy mess. They kind of got together there at the end when Josh and Jessica just started drowning out Hollie, which I guess gives us a hint about who was off key. Again.
Elise – You and I. And her celebrity fan Jason Segal. Sweet. I think she can really kill with this song. And thank Jimmy that he shot down the drums idea. She’s gonna make me forget how Hailey killed this song when she premiered it right here on American Idol. (Wonder which judge will mention that fun fact first). Y’all what the fuck is she wearing? Please sit down again. This is not the way to garner votes. She sang it well, but it didn’t really go anywhere. It didn’t build to a crescendo. It certainly wasn’t pimp slot worthy. Kinda sleepy. But she can sing her face off. Unclench, Ry Ry. Everything went smoothly.
Good singing night. No one was really bad, even the ones I don’t particularly care for.
Top 3:
Joshua
Jessica
Elise
Eh 2:
Skylar
Phillip
Bottom 2:
Hollie
Colton
Either of those two could go home this week. I’m hoping for Hollie.
Ewww. James Durban tomorrow? I do not want to deal with that twitchy fool.
Oh, goodie. We've reached the faux outrage portion of AI.
Was anyone not aware that Jessica was going to be in the bottom 3 once she and Hollie squared off in Ryan's annual game of Pick a Side (No, I refuse!) - the Bo Bice Memorial Editon? Was anyone shocked when Josh and Jessica were pulled out as bottom 2 once the third person was revealed to be Elise? Did anyone not guess that it was going to be Jessica in jeopardy and the judges were going to use their save oh her? Anyone? Bueller?
Oh, Nigel. The seams are really showing.
Everybody sounded like ass on Raise Your Glass. At least now we know they are singing live this season. That's something, right?
The Durbs? I refuse except to say wtf on the hair and the modified Hammer pants? Ewww.
JHud + Nee-Yo? She looked good in her dominatrix, Beyond Thunderdome costume and she sounded great. However, I hate that song . . . probably because it is connected to that horrible book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. The thrice divorced Mr. Harvey can kiss my whole asshole on that one.
Ryan looked like he was ready to announce the 75th Annual Hunger Games with his orange skin and poufy hair. I would definitely tune in.
The Voice: My crush on Blake is getting a little absurd.
