Fast forwarded through Syesha, ♥ed Chikezie! Wishing Ramielle would shut up. If a female is going to sing that song, they have to bring it better than Bette Midler in "For the Boys."

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]
I love Brooke. I was seriously underwhelmed by her performance tonight. I was much more charmed by her interview afterwards than I was by her singing. But for me it really was the song. I wouldn't like anyone singing Let It Be because it's played out.
Carly has a great voice, but for me she's like the female David H. No charisma whatsoever. She doesn't have that elusive star quality, which is probably why she didn't make it the first time.
And speaking of David H., ouch. That was decidedly not good. Oh well, shoulda been Danny's spot anyway.
David Hernandez – I Saw Her Standing There
Job at a pizza bistro? Reaaallly? Woulda went? Um, I think in order to be a journalist, you need to be able to speak English. This fool can really sing. I’m never quite prepared for it. The low notes are really bottoming out on him tonight, though. What is with the skinny argyle tie? He never really got any power into his voice in that performance. And he is completely charisma free. He has no charm. Maybe with his clothes off?
This fool can really sing. I’m never quite prepared for it.
Huh. I find him totally forgettable every week.
Huh. I find him totally forgettable every week.
Me too.
Jason - too breathy and had pitch problems. Carly has a big voice, it fills the stage. That's what you need to do if you want to be a star. She'll always sound good, but I feel like she could do even better.
Me, three. I have no love whatsoever for David.
And see, I think Carly's got great charisma. She's friendly and engaging and really open.
The charisma thing is likely what it all comes down to for me with Carly. That and I feel like she almost wants it too much.
I do, however, "get" her more than I get whatever it is that's kept Amanda there.
Fast forwarded through David Cook after 10 seconds. Brooke did a nice job of "Let It Be" but it's iconic, you just don't do it until you're already a huge star. And she's really got a country voice. It wasn't bad for this song, but there are other songs out there that would show her voice off better.
Really, Kristy? Seriously?
Randy said it for me about David. Too much going on. His voice, which is actually fairly good, got lost in all the bouncing around. Which is funny, because Chikezie did the same thing, yet it worked for him!
