I started talking ...I am with you on the clapping. I started talking to the tv 'what's with the clapping? you're ruining it.'<BR/><BR/>I didn't like Damien's version of Wicked Game. Maybe because the mellifluous tones of Chris Isaak's voice just infuse that song with so much loss, that I couldn't make the adjustment to the higher register of Damien's. <BR/><BR/>Is it too wierd to say that he took the American-ness out of it as well, which seems like such a part of that song too?Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035268080440921379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-1160961406446238012006-10-16T10:46:00.000+09:302006-10-16T10:46:00.000+09:30Elsewhere you're right about the hair and "Deano" ...Elsewhere you're right about the hair and "Deano" / Mark Holden ... Holden looks to me like he's been instructing his stylist to do his hair like Dean's, whose hair is actually done to the same template used on Andrew G's. A similar similarity is emerging between Sandilands's and Ricky's. <BR/><BR/>The Irish dude really sounded pretty woeful to me, it was that thing where when a person sings a song very much in the manner of the famous voice associated with that song your ear is irresistibly drawn to the discrepancies. And to top it off he kept closing his eyes as if overcome with emotion by the sound of his own singing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-1160961199696820032006-10-16T10:43:00.000+09:302006-10-16T10:43:00.000+09:30Don't like Lisa.

But agree that he will probably get voted out.<BR/><BR/>Lisa has tried my patience. Her performance last night couldn't redeem the cumulative lameness of the past few weeks. I think she has a good voice -- in its genre -- there's just something lazy (or maybe shy and awkward) about her performances.<BR/><BR/>I actually think that some strange homo-erotic countertransference is going on between Dean and Mark Holden (similar to wot used to happen when certain male postgrad gave papers in the staff seminar), and that this is what the Hair is about. either that, or they're using the same stylist at the moment.<BR/><BR/>At least Bobby got out of the Andy Pandy suit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-1160957439482999242006-10-16T09:40:00.000+09:302006-10-16T09:40:00.000+09:30I take it you mean you think Irish Dude did not re...I take it you mean you think Irish Dude did not redeem himself, rather than that he wasn't that bad to start with ... Of course he can't and shouldn't win, I didn't mean that, God forbid -- but he has got a great voice, and I thought he did a good job with that song. I haven't been watching it religiously, so may not yet be as terminally off-put by his non-coolth as many have become. I find it helps if you shut your eyes.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember Courtney much -- what an excellent memory you have. I do like that McCartney song (last night's, I mean), musically v. interesting and difficult to sing -- I thought he did a good job with it. (Again, <I>so</I> not an Idol winner though.)<BR/><BR/>I'm old enough to be their mother so I tend to judge them not as packages, as one does one's peers, but rather off a checklist (good singer, crap clothes, moves well, my god what has he got in his hair, etc).Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-1160955129144137532006-10-16T09:02:00.000+09:302006-10-16T09:02:00.000+09:30I am not with you on the Irish dude nor on Chris M...I am not with you on the Irish dude nor on Chris Murphy...it struck me as a bit feeble that he sang a PMc song when Courtney also sang one - (My Love?)
