Let's Chill would've been an awesome prom song.
One of my favorite New Jack Swing moments is Cube and his "You can New Jack Swing on my nuts" (hence the Toni!Tone!Tony! love song) although that might've been the death knell, really.
Chikezie – If Only For One Night
More cute parents. And another cute baby. Baby in a tux. Awwwww! He came off very well there. Well, the beginning was already off but he got it back fairly quickly. This is a really hard song to sing. Very rangy. I guess he’s doing an ok job with it, but I am completely bored. I will not have any recollection of what he sang come tomorrow morning. It’s like some college talent show with the one Kappa who can really sing and all the girls swoon, but it’s just talent show good . . . not good good. Paula is really on fire tonight. I disagree with her, but her points were cogent. Agree with Simon again. Some more. As usual. And he’s talking back to the judges again which is unattractive and takes me back to the pumpkin pimp moment. Way to erase all the good will built up from your exceedingly cute intro package.
Aaaaand Brooke White is tonight’s designated unfortunate looking baby. Alrighty then.
Brooke White – Every Breath You Take
So does she not read music? Huh? That’s kind of awesome. Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a contestant do that. Just start and then think better of it and then start again. Huh, again. But she sounds phenomenal. And again, so much better with a piano or a guitar. This song really has no range – it’s so flat. It’s not really doing anything to show her off as a singer. I mean, she’s doing very nicely with it, but the song in and of itself is actually kind of boring, so . . . there’s that. Agreed with Simon and Randy that the first half was better than the last.
