Nigel Lythgoe interview on the top three is up. My recap of his comments
On Clive's choices
Liked Elliott's rendition, but is not a fan of the song.
Kat went a bit overboard, but she pulled it off
Taylor- great song, good for his voice. Was sitting next to Rod Stewart, was wataching on tv with Rod, Rod applauded & said "you did great"
I missed Elliott's comments, but caught that the song stayed in the same tone and vibe too much.
Kat's over the rainbow "one of the Idol moments".
Liked how she sat on the stage like Judy Garland, liked the way she sang the verse of it. A "beautiful moment".
Taylor- You are so Beautiful, he thought DITD was better, didn't work for him, had an angry face, but showed what a great voice he had.
Elliott's last song- great voice, needed to pick a song that is known.
Kat- "she had a right to steal the evening after over the rainbow, and she threw it away with this song."
Tay- perfect song, felt like a blues bro presentation to him, but perfect for him. Showed him off well.
Elliott was the best singer of the night- per Nigel
Suggests that probably Taylor will be there for the final night.
Over 50 Million calls last night. A record for a non- final.
This evening show- 3 songs from the Album will be heard, and then someone will go home.
The thing about Elliot is that he just isn't getting better. He isn't growing. It's like watching one of those animatronic robots and Chuck-e-cheese. He was a little bit better with the vibrato but still had too much.
Katharine I will have to somewhat agree, Over the Rainbow was fantastic the others were okay.
Taylor I'm a big fan he IS the next American Idol. (sorry Bruce)
I don't think any of them did well with Clive's songs, probably not the right picks for these guys unless they were able to work more on the songs.
So here we go again. Lots of recap happening right now.
(All comments about the show, at this time, are being pulled from my favorite east coast updater, on the AI board... not me. I'm just copying and pasting.)
