multi-generation madhouse includes pets and meals

So, here I am starting watching as the show is ending. We are so out of sync with the world. I’m not sure if I’m hopeful for what I’m about or just scared. We are treated to a review of the Stones career including a few really early photos. Amazing how young and fresh faced they once were, shows you what hard living and old age will do to you. If they were women they would be in need of plastic surgery and some really good wrinkle creams, fortunately for them guys aren’t held to those standards. Now, to get to what we are really here for…

1. Michael Lynche – Miss You – I liked this, he is really comfortable on stage and he has such stage presence. He does have a few funny little steps when he moves around the stage; but hey at least he moves around.
2. Didi Benami – Play With Fire – That was one of her better performances for me, she does make the worst faces though.
3. Casey James – All Over Now – Okay that was tons better than he’s sounded the last few weeks. He really seemed so much more comfortable on the stage this week. I do get what Simon is saying about him having to push himself beyond comfortable to star status.
4. Lacey Brown – Ruby Tuesday – It was a wee bit sleepy and slow. It had a few rough moments but she’s done worse.
5. Andrew Garcia – Gimme Shelter – I appreciated a little change in tone and style but it was pitchy and a little bit boring.
6. Katie Stevens – Wild Horses – It was slower and more sedate than I liked, it really is a more upbeat song. She started a little off but did overall the vocals were okay, just boring.
7. Tim Urban – Under My Thumb – I don’t think he gets the lyrics a bit. If this performance got any perkier or as Mom put it “Tip Toe Through The Tulips” like I’d swear it was Tiny Tim up there. It did nothing for me.
8. Siobhan Magnus – Paint It Black – Okay here’s a girl who gets it, it was appropriately dark and dangerous. She has a real haunting quality in her voice. I just wish Ryan had left her nerd glasses off stage.
9. Lee DeWyze – Beast of Burden – He goes through these mumbley moments that I don’t love; but over all it was good. It’s too bad he didn’t go for the big rock performance.
10. Paige Miles – Honkey Tonk Woman – I think she’s better this week than she’s been in a few, but you could hear that her voice wasn’t really up to it. I give her credit for going for it.
11. Aaron Kelly – Angie – I couldn’t quite picture this song on him before he started. He did better than I thought he would, there was something about it all that didn’t quite sit right with me, but vocally it was okay. I missed his smile.
12. Crystal Bowersox – You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Vocally she is solid. It wasn’t my favorite performance of hers; but she is just so honest and in such a different class.

Top 3: Siobhan Magnus, Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze

Bottom 3: Paige Miles, Lacey Brown, Tim Urban

So there it is, the top 12 tackled the Rolling stones and it was better than I could have hoped for, at least there was only one total train wreck. I’d say that Tim is going home; but he has VFTW so I’m betting it’s Lacey. I’m looking forward to tomorrow night and David Cook!
