My top four (even though there's a four-way tie for fourth) are Chris, Elliott, Ace, and Taylor. Taylor just wasn't as good last night as I was expecting him to be. I'd say all four of these, though, were quite infectious and good. I enjoyed all four performances, and for the first time, I felt the Ace love. Woo!
Patrick was pretty good. The song wasn't the best choice for him, but his voice was good and pure. David was a lot of fun to watch, and I felt a bit like a teenager watching him. He's an amazingly adorable kid, that's for sure! I enjoy the crooner voice he has.
Gedeon gave a fun performance as well. This was really the first time I'd heard him sing, and it was pretty good. I like his smile, and he seems to have a good time while he's performing.
Bucky was better than I'd expected from him. I liked the Lynrd Skynrd song, and he didn't skeeve me out too bad. He's certainly not attractive, but he sings better than I thought he might. Will surprised me, because I expected him to be better. The song was a fun choice, but it didn't have the spark I wanted.
Sway totally put me off him by singing the whole dang time in falsetto. I know he has a nice voice, and I know falsetto is difficult, but really?
Kevin shouldn't be there. Not at all. Aww, how cute and all that, but no. In fact, when the little recap at the end went through all the performers, it was like Kevin & Bobby were singing in some other competition. I didn't like either one of these performances, and I hope these guys go home tonight.
