Fountain of Joys

Round 1 (judges’ picks)
David Archuleta - And So It Goes (Billy Joel) picked by Paula
Syesha Mercado - If I Ain’t Got You (Alicia Keys) picked by Randy
David Cook - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack) picked by Simon
                                                                
Archuleta!!!!!!!! pure and stunning
一開始的清唱很不錯，近哭腔的高音也越來越穩
但我覺得這首歌有點low-key
                                                                               
Drama Queen殺一下在家鄉的演唱很不錯呀!
軟弟幫他選了首可以期待的If I Ain’t Got You
唱的不好不壞啦，不過撩下去整個演起一曲相思情未了
不愧是戲精 :p
                                                                               
OMG, 大廚!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
唱到我的雞皮站起來了啦，軟弟在那邊亂說什麼><(到此時還在唱rock才無聊哩)
與The Music Of The Night那次一樣唱的我炫然欲泣XD
結尾太殺了。Of course won the 1st round
                                                                               
(以這三首來講我真的覺得Simon比較會選歌)
                                                                               
Round 2 (personal picks)
David Archuleta - With You (Chris Brown)
Syesha Mercado - Fever (Peggy Lee)
David Cook - Dare You to Move (Switchfoot)
                                                                               
先不管唱的好不好，小弟自選唱With You實在讓我感動>///<
其實我並不喜歡這首歌，但他選這首來比賽太有勇氣，加分！
我想這首歌就是他要來證明自己是統御AI場子的teen idol
而且也很有新意，要不然他那一套選曲早就被很多人嫌膩了，
瞧他怡然自得的擺著哩～XD 
                                                                               
殺一下的Fever我也覺得唱的很不錯，依舊戲味十足
這個人確立了她演歌合一的路線
                                                                               
Dare You To Move是我很喜歡的一首歌
但這個表演還是有太短來不及高潮的問題
也比較缺乏驚喜(predictable)
                                                                               
2nd round: 各有千秋
                                                                               
Round 3 (producer’s picks)
David Archuleta - Longer (Dan Fogelberg)
Syesha Mercado - Hit Me Up (Gia Farrell)
David Cook - I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing (Aerosmith)
                                                                               
David Archuleta, one-sentence comment:
I’ve been in love with you.
腮們很愛沒事硬挑剔人家耶!
這就是Imagine高潮的再現啊。
                                                                               
殺一下第三首反到有點弱了
其實她的個性很不錯，雖然有點愛演
一直被笑是企鵝好可憐，表演整體很像Rihanna呀
應該要來台請教葉瑋庭如何把場子幹熱的。
                                                                               
要大廚唱IDWTMAT這首被唱到爛的口水歌實在很囧(幸好編曲有點小改過)
完全展現不出他的獨特性，感覺自己也唱的很不開心，有趕下班的嫌疑XD
寶拉又再度嗑藥了，科科。
                                                                               
for me David A. wins the 3rd round
                                                                               
                                                                               
本週結果很無趣
三歲小孩也猜的到會走的是誰
根本就只是冠軍賽的前戲
                                                                               
不過大廚勝小弟的局勢越來越明顯
所以我們的第七季真的要出一個rocker冠軍了嗎!!!!!!><
                                                                               
第一季:pop/rock
第二季:r&b/soul(male)
第三季:r&b/soul(female)
第四季:country
第五季:casino singer
第六季:idol/pop
                                                                               
期待小弟下週來個當初S2
Ruben險勝Clay的詭異大翻盤吧!!!
                                                                               
我要一個精采的Final >///<
                                   

David Cook - Hungry Like The Wolf
David Cook - Baba O’Riley
                                                                               
我的感想結合Randy+Simon
簡單來說就是對大廚是個OK/average的表演
沒有驚喜，但也絕對可以穩進前三
                                                                               
Syesha Mercado - Proud Mary
Syesha Mercado - A Change is Gonna Come
                                                                               
雖然不算殺營，畢竟幾個營已經讓我忙不過來了
但其實一路也都蠻喜歡她的，從好萊塢周重感冒依然飆出好聲音那次起
我喜歡她的一點是，她總可以讓自己仍有缺點的歌聲
用整體表演彌補，合起來就會變成一個草率的高分
其實她進前三我也可以接受，如果擺在上一季
我給她的位置差不多也是:
Dolittle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Syesha >>>> Kiki
                                                                               
Jason Castro - I Shot the Sheriff
Jason Castro - Mr. Tambourine Man
                                                                               
我覺得第一首感覺比較對，vocal也比較對
可惜就是那個致命的忘詞，太混了這個人(指)
連粉絲如我都希望他淘汰了啦
夠了，我已經滿足了。top 4 is enough for him!
                                                                               
David Archuleta - Stand by Me
David Archuleta - Love Me Tender
                                                                               
大概輸給大廚太久了
本週回到pimp spot. XD
                                                                               
高潮了～＞＊＜
This week is a very good champion moment.
                                                                               
今天真是音穩定/聲感人/心誠摯呀。
Stand By Me最後一個飆高的轉音真是唱出我的雞皮疙瘩，
好久沒有聽到他可以把高音唱成功了。
                                                                               
                                                                               
dialidol很清楚的告訴了大家
本週誰會被淘汰。XD
                                                                               
這個網站也有一樣的數據。                                                                             
http://www.zabasearch.com/ai_stats.php                                                                               
                                                                               
拜託小弟下週繼續爆氣
我要一個非常精采/充滿懸念的final啊!
                                                                               
dialidol大廚霸佔冠軍位置太久了
本週分明就是小弟樂勝！！！
                                                                                                            

                                                                               
Top5開始一個人唱兩首。
                                                                               
Round 1:

Jason Castro - “Forever in Blue Jeans”
歌是好的，但表演是無聊的，
捲頭打定主意從頭到尾都要用這一套。
                                                                               
David Cook - “I’m Alive”
整個表演太短了，
還沒到高潮就抽離(不要亂想)。
這叫1/3大廚迷的我看的好不high。
                                                                               
Brooke White - “I’m a Believer”
感想請洽第一段，
然後把捲頭代換成白雪即可。
                                                                               
David Archuleta - “Sweet Caroline”
截至目前為止最好，
雖然有句高音轉音有破掉之嫌。
                                                                               
Syesha Mercado - “Hello Again”
我想不喜歡的人還是不喜歡，但我是覺得唱的好的。
基本上so far我已經支持殺一下拿第三了。(史上最弱的第三?:p)
                                                                               
Round 2:

Jason Castro - “September Morn”
比第一首還差>”<
早就說過他非常不適合安靜的歌，
完全把vocal的缺點展露無遺。
                                                                               
David Cook - “All I Really Need Is You”
絕對不是他最好的一次，
但可能是整個晚上最好的一個。
                                                                               
Brooke White - “I Am…I Said”
Better than the first one.
我想捲頭白雪之爭此役勝負已定。
這首歌終於有找回我一開始喜歡她的初衷了，
高音逼近爆破點成了一個很有韻味的特色。
                                                                               
David Archuleta - “America”
好可惜唷，明明應該要很好聽的，
如果沒有那個破音該有多好。
居然把李廚娘的選歌這招偷學來了啦。>*<
                                                                               
Syesha Mercado - “Thank the Lord for the Night Time”
殺一下是本週唯一兩首歌都發揮平穩的。
不過最後Simon的話很傷，除非這是他故意要保她留下來的反話，
又不然就是Simon很偏心的要對白捲護航了。
                                                                               
                                                                               
(this week)
                                                                               
should go: (大義滅親) 捲頭
will go: bheqwelqkjwdbdqdbvdqw (太難說了，以亂碼表示)
surprisingly go: None.
                                                                                                                                                 
(dialidol)
                                                                               
不過最後Simon的話很傷，除非這是他故意要保她留下來的反話
                                                                               
真是神準。XD
沒想到這種事真的發生。
                                                                               
美國人真的很吃激將法這一套耶。Orz
                                                                               
殺一下居然破天荒打敗廚/弟
成為今日dialidol的最高分。（驚）
                                                                               
她與大廚都在safe zone，
小弟再度落到safe zone外，
該不會真的要進底三了吧。
                                                                               
沒想到真的有要幫他催票的一天。
                                                                               
捲頭的分數還是比白雪高
這個人的票倉真是異常強大。
                                                                               
                     

1. Syesha Mercado - One Rock & Roll Too Many          
    from Starlight Express
                                                                               
這週對曾經當過演員的殺一下來說，
簡直是如魚得水，
整個表演果然也殺了大家很多下。XD
                                                                               
基本上前半段低音的pitch並不太準，
但這種表演本來就是看感覺，
Simon甚至拿出蜜雪兒菲佛相比了。>”<
                                                                               
看來殺一下真的要給唱進top5了!
                                                                               
2. Jason Castro - Memory                                                     
    from Cats
                                                                               
這週完全就是捲頭勝負決定週!
按照之前淘汰男女男女的順序，
本週他有絕對的危險。
                                                                               
這首歌也選的太險，
把應該要用十足vocal來撐的歌，
唱成哈雷路亞的樣子，orz
完全暴露歌聲的薄弱。
                                                                               
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
本周太危險了～（美國捲頭迷要站出來呀!）
                                                                               
Simon的說法其實我還蠻贊同的。><
                                                                               
3. Brooke White - You Must Love Me                      
    from Evita 
                                                                               
情感非常澎湃的演出
但開頭實在應該要被扣嚴重的技術性分數。(←星光2的賴銘偉呀!!!)
白雪感覺太緊張了。
                                                                               
Vocal上還是聽的出沙啞的老問題，
副歌整個都是硬唱出來的，
缺少了曲調中一個悠揚味。
                                                                               
白雪今天應該也對自己的表現很失望，
因為她完全沒有回嘴。:p
                                                                               
But Simon say’s tricky one,
的確有那麼點道理，
這樣的失常卻盡量做到不驚慌，
搞不好有機會成為一個觀眾情緒性的支持點。
                                                                               
本週確實是白雪捲頭廝殺存亡周，
不過寶拉給白雪講評時，整個就認定她要被淘汰了。orz
                                                                               
4. David Archuleta - Think of Me   
    from The Phantom of the Opera
                                                                               
我看到了什麼叫做蠶食！
那一開始的少女簇擁真是驚人。XD
                                                                               
啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊～
今天唱的好好喔喔喔喔喔喔喔喔喔！
Simon again, eat your xxxx.
(↑整個講評非常沒建設性 >&lt
                                                                               
難得可以聽到他小轉音的一面，
收尾收的很不錯呀。(不要再說他boring了!)
                                                                               
5. Carly Smithson - Superstar  
    from Jesus Christ Superstar
                                                                               
Wow! 完全有第三名的水準。
top3就是雙大衛跟卡莉了啦。
                                                                               
好久沒聽到卡莉亂吼一下了                        
吼起來還蠻爽的XD
另外我很喜歡她的一點就是
她最近以來的表演都很鬆
沒有要上台比賽的緊張不安感，本週尤其。
                                                                               
Simon loves me的T-shirt很可愛。
                                                                               
6. David Cook - Music of the Night 
    from The Phantom of the Opera
                                                                               
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
這是我看過大廚最深情的一次，
差點在電腦前融化….
那麼一瞬間希望他拿冠軍了。
                                                                               
而且這是他第一次沒有唱cover，唱原版耶
又一個最佳表演了啦。
感覺整個晚上的星光都是為他而閃了～
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                                         
本週dialidol:                                             
大衛A首度不在safe zone!!!!!!!!!!
                                                                               
大廚看來現在與小弟越拉越近，
決賽將會是個大人與小孩的投票戰爭。XD
                                                                               
3.Syesha
4.Castro
5.White
6.Carly
                                                                               
卡莉真的很可憐…
明天一定要留下來!!!
                                                                               
後面三個看來都危險
但真的不希望在捲頭迷/白雪迷各自搶票護主的情況下，
卡莉被犧牲掉。
                                                                                                                                        

1. David Archuleta - When You Believe

雖然我是小弟迷
但我覺得這次真的唱的不是太好。

那聲假音真是銷魂，根本不該唱，
這首歌很明顯暴露他歌唱上的缺點(or極限)。

明明算是近期最不好的表演
我熊熊發現可能能評審都不敢罵他了

*給大家看一下X-Factor去年冠軍Leon Jackson的版本
  (這首就是冠軍moment，也成了他後來的首支單曲，當然還是大賣了)
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMO4-HzMqRg&feature=related     
  雖然也不是特別理想，但至少唱的比較札實，
  小弟聲音被和音蓋的很嚴重。不過Leon最後的假音也是唱壞。
  然後這個冠軍moment，請來所有參賽者出來幫他唱高潮合音，
  X-Factor真的把冠軍面子做的很足耶。:p

2. Carly Smithson - Without You

先不管唱的怎麼樣，卡莉真的是第七季最好的vocal了
試想還有誰能唱這首大歌(?)

今晚把刺青藏起來的她，漂亮多了～
我覺得她把這首歌唱的很有層次
I like it anyway. (Simon, eat your sxxt.)

不過卡莉真的很愛唱前冠軍唱過的歌
這真的會被嚴重比下去。

壯凱在第一屆唱的：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gkcj6vcWZc&feature=related
原來里歐娜也唱過：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDyKuZRM8tE&feature=related

壯凱唱的很好，不過裝飾音太多聽起來會有點造作，
里歐娜前面key起的實在太低了，照星光大道的說法就是，
前面我完全聽不到你在唱什麼，但後面真的唱的很好啦。

3. Syesha Mercado - Vanishing

首先，我完全不知道小瑪這首歌哪裡來的? 沒聽過呀!!!
後面卯起來狂叫，大概是正式比賽以來叫最好的一次。
Smart choice, well sing.                                                      
                                                                               
4. Brooke White - Hero
                                                                               
非常無聊的真的唱了Hero，
Hero也真的唱的非常無聊。
                                                                               
先向所有白雪迷致歉，
我找不到比本週更適合淘汰她的timing了，
我真的覺得唱的很差，很‧差。
                                                                               
Randy不要一直在裝好人了。(惡)
                                                                               
5. Kristy Lee Cook - Forever
                                                                               
除了浴火鳳凰外，我找不到更適合她的形容詞了。
(打不死的蟑螂? >”&lt
                                                                               
更OMG的是，我居然覺得唱的很好，
她把小瑪的歌唱出另外一個味道來，
這對我來說真的很難得。
                                                                               
6. David Cook - Always Be My Baby
                                                                               
原本很有潛力成為S5 Daughtry’s Walk The Line那樣的經典，
可惜呀可惜，非常有趣且聰明的改編，(這次終於是他自己的東西了)
偏偏整首歌的key實在太低，
如果key調高一點，應該會更振奮，更精采。
(拜託錄音版好一點!!!好想收藏)
                                                                               
7. Jason Castro - I Don’t Wanna Cry
                                                                               
At least better than Brooke White,
and that is enough to keep him safe.
                                                                               
捲捲頭真的很有美色呀，XD
怎麼看都覺得他是fake Jack Johnson’s spirit in somebody idol’s body.
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                                               
本週dialidol:                                                                                      
1.Cook
2.Archuleta
3.Castro
4.Lee Cook                                            
============= 原來廚娘真的變成safe zone了 >”<                                             
bot3                                               
1.Syesha
2.White
3.Carly
                                                                               
殺一下唱成這樣滿堂采還最低
這完全就是fanbase的問題了。
                                                                               
應該明天就是白雪與殺一下之爭，
除非AI又要搞一次天怒人怨，才敢淘汰掉卡莉吧?
美國的好柄you們，大家趕快幫卡莉催票吧。
(不過現在才波這篇催票為時已晚XD)                                       
                                                         

震驚 + 盛怒 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
(本屆的結果真是太詭異了)

                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                               
當看到大廚safe時，我想到的是
他的fanbase實在太強了，
如果連本週唱成這樣都safe，
那他應該會穩穩打進final，
與小弟爭奪冠亞軍了。

而當看到殺一下與卡莉最後safe時，
我只覺想到救票真的有效，
只是萬萬沒想到因而犧牲的卻是澳男!!!

太不可思議了，
大家應該忙著搶救卡莉，
完全忘記投票給澳男，
遑論本週他至少表演的還是比大廚來的好。

我並非最支持澳男，
但我也真的不討厭他，
在我心中他至少要進前四強的，
相當相當殘念~

the result of season 7’s top 8,
is the best top 8 of all American Idol history ever.

希望Johns至少能拿到一紙唱片合約。
(過幾天再專文懷念一下他好了~)

失望指數：zero
                                                                               
Kristy Lee Cook - “Anyway” by Martina McBride
                                                                               
請不要誤會
因為根本沒有期望啊 >”<
                                                                               
最大的缺點就是唱的很uncertain，
勵志歌這樣唱就很不勵志，
中間吼一段也不好聽，
但大致是個可以接受的表演。
                                                                               
想當初聽到Martina唱這首歌時，
整個差點款包袱去當慈濟師姐。
                                                                               
失望指數：☆
                                                                               
David Archuleta - “Angels” by Robbie Williams
                                                                               
Randy要來跟我們搶小弟親衛隊的line啦lol
                                                                               
大家都捧成這樣好不習慣XD
我自己是覺得還好耶，
演唱過程中情感的延續很不連貫，
我想是因為彈鋼琴的關係。
                                                                               
但有沒有比Angel唱Angel更適合的事!!!
                                                                                                                                                     
Jason Castro - “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland
                                                                               
本週Jason偷學到大廚的招勢了
必勝法就是要找到一個很好的cover
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole版的Somewhere Over the Rainbow本來就非常可愛
而且這完完全全就是Castro style呀！
                                                                               
Simon的MC兩個禮拜終於結束了
本週化身為慈祥大菩薩。
                                                                               
失望指數：☆☆
                                                                               
Michael Johns - “Dream On” by Aerosmith
                                                                               
所有人都叫你不要唱搖滾，
為什麼還不聽？
                                                                               
我要們blue Johns啊啊啊～(好像牛仔褲品牌XD)
                                                                               
副歌我覺得很勉強，不游刃沒有餘，
最後哀哀叫那裏，（默）。
不適合的表演。
                                                                               
Syesha Mercado - “I Believe” by Fantasia Barrino
                                                                               
其實大致上OK，同樣直到那聲慘叫。
感覺本週有點危險了，誰叫你要挑戰pre-winner的歌，
肯定會落得一個狂比較的下場嘛。
                                                                               
失望指數：☆☆☆
                                                                               
David Cook - “Innocent” by Our Lady Peace
                                                                               
失望肯定是來自相當高的期望
但大廚今天犯的技術性疏失比澳男還多
中間那段的每句「you」，就跟上禮拜的「little sparrow」一樣無力
副歌也被和音蓋的很嚴重
想要玩升八度雙唱也不理想
                                                                               
這確實對大廚來說不是個很好的表演
從他的表情也看的出他也很失望
但那個手上的「Give Back」真是大絕呀。XD
                                                                               
Carly Smithson - “The Show Must Go On” by Queen
                                                                               
相較前幾個禮拜真是沒fu。
                                                                               
整首歌唱的非常的musical，
本周相當危險，感覺全美國都在等一次出槌的機會來淘汰她。
但她可親的personality越來越強了耶，
不希望跟小茉莉一樣，又在我喜歡上她的時候馬上被淘汰。
                                                                               
Simon今天真的是佛心來著。
                                                                               
Brooke White - “You’ve Got a Friend” by James Taylor
                                                                               
就聲音上沒有太多被我挑剔的地方(除了依然啞)
但整個表演真的很無聊很無聊很無聊～
白雪真的拿不出東西來了啦。
                                                                               
題外話她今天真的很漂亮。
                                                                               
                                                                               
本週選不出最好的
勉強的話就是小弟
                                                                               
Who will go?
                                                                               
(possibility order)
                                                                               
1.Syesha: 唱前idol的歌好像有curse?
2.Carly: 我覺得真的很多美國人都在等這一天
3.Kristy: 出來跑的總是要還～
4.Brooke: 積點率先用完
                                                                               
剩下四個男生都不可能。
                                                                               
本週dialidol:
                                                                               
大家拉的越來越近。
                                                                               
果然bot2如果預期。
大廚也慘跌~
                                                                               
所以新final一樣是小弟大廚配
只是換成女大廚? >”<
                                                                                
                                                                               
           

Let’s start the “Dolly Parton” week！
                                                                               
                                                                               
★民謠吟唱派：
Brooke White - “Jolene”
Jason Castro - “Travelin’ Thru”
                                                                               
兩個型態有點類似
但我還是比較喜歡捲頭的表現
白雪也唱出自己的感覺啦
只是她的vocal越來越差，感覺比壞了
                                                                               
☆正格歌喉派：
David Cook - “Little Sparrow”
Carly Smithson - “Here You Come Again”
Syesha Mercado - “I Will Always Love You”
                                                                               
Carly is so sincere and touching.
連我不是特別喜歡她的都想支持她了~
最後結尾拉長音真的唱的很好。
話說Simon的MC怎麼週週都來呀>”<
                                                                               
Cook’s performance is interesting.
最重點的Little Sparrow這句，除了一次唱壞，其他幾次都很美，
有唱出男性的鄉愁味。
                                                                               
殺一下下下下下下下!!!!!!!!!!!!!
尾句真的很殺就是了，如果唱成這樣還走，
以後鄉村週就是作弊給黑妞滾的嘛 囧rz
(Obama:抗議!抗議!!!)
                                                                               
◎中流砥柱派：
Ramiele Malubay - “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind”
Kristy Lee Cook - “Coat of Many Colors”
                                                                               
Kristy, I called you this week, pleasant but forgettable.
這句話我同意，但我不同意上週是她的最好表現，這週才是，
因為犯的錯誤最少，基本上就是唱的四平八穩。
                                                                               
我一直覺得小茉莉最後一句應該拉高音，有點可惜，
不過這次比較放鬆啦，整個表演也蠻cute的，some kind reminiscent, though.
其實開始比較喜歡她了才要送她走，真是不捨，
亞裔柄you們本週本週願意搶救嗎？
                                                                               
㊣舞台魅力派：
Michael Johns - “It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right”
David Archuleta - “Smoky Mountain Memories”
                                                                               
我哭了。David A.’s performance is so called “簡單樸實”。
(如果這樣還給我嫌….我就….我就…翻桌 >/&lt
最高音那個字我聽的抖了一下，很危險，還好有唱到。XD
                                                                               
澳男的表演放在本週節目，可以說是完美的結尾，
是我這三週以來(沒錯，三週以來XD)，最喜歡的一個演出。
                                                                               
                                                                               
以極高比例在dialidol排倒數第一的就是小茉莉
本週她沒走那這節目就真的好玩了:p
                                                                                                                   
另外捲頭人氣最近每況愈下，形成告急
我無法接受他比同類型的白雪先走
                                                                               
看來要換成搶救他了>”<
(話說我一天到晚就在搶救)
                                                                               
this week:                                                                               
should go, would go: Ramiele
surprisingly go: Kristy or Jason
                                                                               
但我本週的bot3是：
Ramiele, Kristy, Brooke (沒有排名)
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
and the result is……

小茉莉 Ramiele

(楊宗緯上身：)
Goodbye, my love，我的愛人……          

下週就是精采可期、大牌雲集的Idol Gives Back了!!!

本週主題：出生年代曲
所以特別附上幾個選手的生日                                                    
                                                                               
                                                                               
4.5/5                                                                          
                                                                               
David Cook (1982.12.20)
sang Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
                                                                               
冠軍啦！冠軍啦！！！
Amazing，我聽到全身起雞皮疙瘩。
我必須很殘忍的說，他就是贏Michael，
他的聲音實在很有魅力，也很懂表演上的flirting。
                                                                               
但Baby David會不會長的太像異形了 ><”
                                                                               
4/5                                                                               
                                                                               
Michael Johns (1978.10.20)
sang We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions by Queen
                                                                               
這個選歌並不意外啊。
中間唱破掉了，不過這種歌好像沒什麼關係
我覺得就是發揮他應有的水準而已，前幾週還更放不開點，
我貪心的還要更多。Gimme gimme more. XD                                          
                                                                               
    *我發現我最愛他的時候，還是在audition的一小段，展現白人靈魂唱腔
      以及好萊塢周唱的Bohemian Rhapsody(那次我聽的還蠻感動的)

Syesha Mercado (1987.01.02)
sang If I Were Your Woman by Stephanie Mills

聽完Randy的comments之後，我忍不住『咦？』了一下
我覺得不錯，但沒有他說的這麼誇張XD
而且老實說中間一整段拔尖，a little noisy for me…
                                                                               
3.5/5

David Archuleta (1990.12.2
sang You’re The Voice by John Farnham
                                                                               
選了首異常冷門的歌 :p (一定又是老爸挑的>&lt
連評審有人都沒聽過(?)
原唱是John Farnham，但David A唱的應該是
David Foster with Jeff Pescetto合唱的版本。
                                                                               
Guess what? I did not rave so much. XD
而且他也唱破音了耶，只是被強大的合聲蓋住了，
不過尾巴收的很不錯值得加分。
                                                                               
Jason Castro (1987.03.25)
sang Fragile by Sting
                                                                               
Just OK! 是有點普通啦
畢竟史汀那種唱到會讓人全身起靜電的程度
不是隨便人可以企及的。
                                                        
Jason小正太也未免太可愛。>/<
                                                                                                             
Brooke White (1983.06.02)
sang Every Breath You Take by Police
                                                                               
AI史上應該沒有過一開始就唱錯，馬上重來的例子吧XD
                                                                               
整個表演有點low-key，
開頭還不錯，後面越來越無聊，缺乏高潮的經營，
我想這是她歌聲上的劣勢所致，無法靠vocal提高歌曲的境界。
But at least better than last week, that’s right.
                                                                               
3/5                                                                          
                                                                               
Carly Smithson (1983.09.12)
sang Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
                                                                               
我覺得這首歌明明是她可以守備的範圍
但聽完真的覺得有點微妙
音準不對? 喉嚨太髒? 合音太乾?
好啦，我不知道犯了什麼錯，但聽起來就是不對勁。
                                                                                
2.5/5
                                                                               
Chikezie (1985.09.11)
sang If Only For One Night by Luther Vandross
                                                                               
Old-fashioned, mediocre & boring
這週安安靜靜唱歌，沒有耍寶之後，
以往聽他唱歌的不耐感又全都回來了…
                                                                               
拼到十強有tour走，也算是功成身退了(誤)

Ramiele Malubay (1987.09.06)
sang Alone by Heart

唱壞了，沒錯。The song is too big for her.
後面的飆高音聽的我好緊張。
本季好萊塢週時Carly也唱過，整個就樂勝。

我一直覺的小茉莉在甜心丹妮離開後，
變的很無心戀戰。><

拒絕給分
                                                                               
Kristy Lee Cook (1984.01.14)
sang God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
                                                                               
請容我非常不客氣的說，
廚嫂根本就是二流的鄉村歌手。>”<
                                                                               
連唱這種安全牌的歌，都可以唱的這麼難聽，
整首歌唱的非常的不確定，聲音也只有量沒有質，
重點句「God Bless The USA」唱的奇差
我完全不知到評審發了什麼瘋Orz
                                                                               
                                                                               
本週：                                                   
should go, would go: Chikezie
surprisingly go: Kristy
                                                                               
                                                                               
然後我覺得final 5應該是這樣：   
 
David A.

David C.

Michael

Jason

                                                                               
前三個都是人氣/實力兼具，(澳男目前危險一點)
Jason則是fanbase很強，大概少於David A.而已。
                                                                               
最後一席由Brooke & Carly搶
一個是拼人氣，一個是拼實力
                                                                                                   

一樣還是照喜愛順序排名。
                                                                               
4.5/5
David Cook: Day Tripper
                                                                               
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ! XD
                                                                               
我不知道已經幾個禮拜把他放在第一名了，
聲音真的很迷人啊，表演的完整度也相當夠，
完全就是天生的藝人，(David Cook concert)
差不多可以跟Daughtry PK了。>”<
                                                                               
注意這句：one way ticket yeah
我覺得唱的棒極了～
                                                                               
怎麼樣都要進top4 !!!
                                                                               
4/5
Carly Smithson: Blackbird
Syesha Mercado: Yesterday
David Archuleta: Long And Winding Road
                                                                               
綜合技巧她確實是Season7最佳女聲。
                                                                               
這首歌其實很難唱，前後起伏看似小，實是大，
如果前面唱的再輕一點，最高音的那點再衝到位一點，
整個演出就很完美了，我有聽到生命力。
                                                                               
後面回應詞意那段說的很不錯啊，
Simon整個人好像嗆輸的小孩。>”<
                                                                               
Syesha……
真不愧我一開始就很看好她，
今天的表演剛好可以用這四個字形容：如歌似泣。
Very touching.
希望保持絕佳狀態繼續往下戰。
                                                                               
終於給David A.選到一首適合他的歌，
其實也不過唱回來原本水準，Simon就說Amazing了。XD
看看底下叫成什麼慘狀，其他人是來比心酸的唷。(呵)
                                                                               
3.5/5
Michael Johns: A Day In The Life
Jason Castro: Michelle
Chikezie: I’ve Just Seen A Face
                                                                               
澳洲男比上週的Across The Universe好，
而且我聽的還蠻感動的。
非常可惜的是前面有句假音實在唱壞了，
所以後面在唱的時後就改唱真音了。
                                                                               
大致上並不差啊，怎麼會三個評審都不愛。
不過真的看的出來他有因為大廚的outshine，而變的怎麼演唱都綁手綁腳。
                                                                               
Castro, >///< Good!
                                                                               
他越來越能享受這個舞台，
在舞台上盡極發揮聲音挑逗人之能事，
重點是他總是能挑到適合他的歌。
                                                                               
我必須承認中間法文那幾句感覺有點亂唱卻很迷人。
然後有人覺得他不看頭髮，其實長的很像Scrubs的Zach Braff嗎？
                                                                               
Yes, Chikezie’s calling!
                                                                               
居然連兩個披頭四週都表現的令人印象深刻，
不敢說是多棒，但有印象就是好事。
中間吹口琴真的很大絕，雖然2266。XD
                                                                               
然後這首歌改成這個鄉村版我覺得很好聽。
                                                                               
3/5
Ramiele Malubay: I Should Have Known Better
Amanda Overmyer: Back in the U.S.S.R.
                                                                               
Ramiele今天vocal表現上相當不特別，高音都用硬唱的，
但整個表演不討厭啦，有點把Kristy的歌搶過來唱的感覺。:p
                                                                               
今天在舞台上整個人非常像倖田來未。XD
                                                                               
Amanda的問題也差不多，表演開始趨於僵化，
聲音上還是享有絕對的優勢，不過表演也變的不驚喜了。
                                                                               
2.5/5
Brooke White: Here Comes The Sun
                                                                               
I thought the performance is terrible, too.
                                                                               
這首歌真的唱的很不好，
基本上這些歌唱技巧上的缺點，早在上週就有了，
只是上週唱的是Let It Be，所以大家比較好原諒。>”<
                                                                               
她低音的控制有很嚴重的問題。
                                                                               
貼一個版本給大家聽：
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3h6FgFthC8
Sheryl Crow’s cover version
                                                                               
剛好曾經有人說過White將來能走雪瑞兒可洛路線，
所以可以對照看看。
                                                                               
2/5
Kristy Lee Cook - Hide Your Love Away
                                                                               
雖然後面有客氣的吼了一點點，
但其實overall還是很不好聽，
該走了吧～ orz
                                                                               

should go: Kristy               
will go: Kristy
Surprisingly go: Amanda, Ramiele           

最後附上今天個人認為最佳演出，
David Cook的Day Tripper
