Will the guys step up and really fight to earn a spot in the top 12? Or will they underwhelm like many of the ladies did the night before? Here’s how I evaluated their performances:
Andrew – “Genie in a Bottle” – Brilliant! This was his best performance since “Straight Up” during Hollywood week. I think he messed up the first lines though. Isn’t it, “I feel like I’ve been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights”?
Casey – “Think of Me” – I definitely like stripped down, acoustic Casey better than rocker Casey. He has more control of his voice when he’s playing a slower song. I like his hair in a ponytail too; it looks more natural.
Todrick – “Somebody to Love” – Great song choice! The opening was too high for him, but I loved the rest.
Mike – “This Woman’s Work” – I’m not a Maxwell fan and don’t like the song at all, but Mike’s voice sounded good. He definitely showed a different side of himself.
Lee – “Fireflies” – The beginning was nasally, but once he got to the chorus and picked up the tempo it sounded okay. I like Lee’s rockier version better than the original.
Alex – “Trouble” – I really like the tone of his voice. This performance didn’t have any personality, but he sounded good.
Tim – “Halleluiah” – This song will always remind me of Jason Castro in season 7. Tim’s version paled by comparison.
Aaron – “I’m Already There” – The beginning was really rough. He didn’t find the melody until the chorus. The song is too big for him, and he was trying too hard.
While nothing moved me to tears (really Kara?), I think the guys definitely stepped up and put on a show. You could tell they were “in it to win it” as Randy says. I’m really not sure who will be going home.
Personally I think Aaron and Tim should go, but I suspect they get lots of teenage girls’ votes because of their “aw shucks” attitudes. Same with Alex. As much as I hate to say it, Casey might be in danger because of his understated performance. This is a tough call. As will the ladies the night before, it just might come down to who the audience likes more (or less) rather than overall talent or individual performances.
