Pretty rockin' song.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think Zayra was one of the best. She had a totally unique style, and was a more compelling performer than most people I've ever seen. She could really get into a song, and she could ALWAYS hold your attention.<BR/><BR/>And in regards to the stupid little hobbit, I rather like him. Go figure. I love his voice and he really knows how to use it. His performances are captivating as far as I'm concerned. I think he has more versatility than Dilanaa as well. To me she just seems to use the same loud rocker voice every week, although so far she's been doing pretty good with that! Dilana's an incredible performer, I love her performances. I just don't like the way she forces herself upon the band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155825160628215042006-08-17T10:32:00.000-04:002006-08-17T10:32:00.000-04:00Thanks, Bill.

I see that as a major test of ability for anyone who wants to be truly great.<BR/><BR/>Lots of people can sound totally awesome on the song that is perfect for their style, personality, and voice, and be crap singers on anything else. At least Storm is not like this.<BR/><BR/>She really put herself high up all these weeks. She was good enough to get by with simply doing her Storm thing that she does. Giving her a sucky song was an important test, and Storm failed. The fact that she made it all look so easy so far made it doubly disappointing.<BR/><BR/>And I think she said "freaking lock."<BR/><BR/>And what was up with Dilana and that "cat's in the cradle and the silver moon?" Sure, anyone can miss a word once in a great while, but "silver moon" instead of "silver spoon?" A meteor crashing down through the roof of my house would be less noticeable. I mean, come on! A ninety year old farmer in backwoods China sitting on a rice paddy with no electricity knows that line! The good news for her is that she kept on going as if nothing had happened without losing her cool.Lord Floppingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946455894230825118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155748509775517532006-08-16T13:15:00.000-04:002006-08-16T13:15:00.000-04:00Couldn't stand the lyric mutilation on Solsbury Hi...Couldn't stand the lyric mutilation on Solsbury Hill.

The arrangement was all wrong and her vocals were bizarre (though not as weird as the vocal affectations Patrice was using, ugh). BTW, I know Storm threw in a few "asses" to make the song more "rock," but did she really sing, "I should have changed the fuckin' locks"? Because that's what my friend and I heard.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't mind if they do another double elim tonight and get rid of Zayra and Patrice, although they should get rid of Toby for the cringe-worthy way he shouted out "Boom boom boom!" That was bloody awful and he deserves to have Peter Gabriel sit on him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155747665615137762006-08-16T13:01:00.000-04:002006-08-16T13:01:00.000-04:00I agree that Storm wasn't nearly as bad as the jud...I agree that Storm wasn't nearly as bad as the judges made her out to be. I liked the way she opened the song and also had the same thought that she didn't stand a chance just because of what the song IS - a disco song.
