Well, here we are..the Top 3..and with Clive Davis tonight you can guarantee one thing…ballads…and from my prep reading, quite a few of them tonight…Elliott/Kat/Taylor…three tunes each…lets get this party started..Clive’s picks up first…Elliott 1st//”Open Arms” from Journey…didn’t really do much with it…not that impressed, didn’t like the song, rough in spots…Clive and Kat next…”I Believe I Can Fly”from R. Kelly…the vocals should be great on this….she’s hitting her notes, but seems a little nervous, good opener for her…again, the song seemed a tad “big” for her voice…but I agree with Simon, she did create a “moment” for herself. ..Taylor’s first song from Clive…”Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen….a FIRST on Idol…first Bruce tune in all the years of the show. …got the soul for this one…Taylor has won round one convincingly…he’s on his game…Judges choice up second…Elliott returns…”What You Won’t Do For Love” by Bobby Caldwell…a very soulful tune for Elliott...and a very cool tune…he still seems not loose tonight..his style was great and I agree with Simon….he did pretty good…Kat up next…”Somewhere Over the Rainbow”…starting with NO backup…emotional, and believable, goosebumps…amazing…the BEST of the night….MOMENT!!! Total Moment….it was unbelievable….she was great! She “deserves” to be in the Finals….Randy’s pick for Taylor coming up…”You are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker…perfect for Taylor….getting into the emotion of the song, he did great with that one…a tender moment from Taylor…Kat takes Round 2…(so far Elliott looks like he’s headed home.)
Round 3, Contestants choice…some Ray Charles, “I Believe in My Soul”…hit all the notes, but it not being a well known song for me is going to hurt him…and he can sing…Kat up second…”I Ain’t Got Nothing with the Blues”..should be fun for her range…did a decent job, 5 steps forward, one steps back…I agree with Simon. Taylor up final…”Try a Little Tenderness”….Taylor has control on the stage…boy’s got soul..good way to end the night…as for the Finals….Elliott deflated himself this evening. ..I think the nerves got to him tonight…Taylor and McFever in the finals!
