And Then There Were Three

Good show, except for the judges. Good grief! Their childish bickering, “my daddy’s better than your daddy,” wrestling, and fighting were ridiculous and showed lack of respect for the participants- not to mention, the audience. On the other hand, think what those three singers did this week: they traveled and performed for thousands, then came back and had to arrange two songs, and learn one of them, then perform in front of millions. It’s nothing less than amazing. 1st place: Danny. Love his voice. He took a song he didn’t know, and made us enjoy it. That's a performer! It was fun, upbeat, and full of energy. I thought the Saxaphone/voice scatting duet was clever. I loved his “You are So Beautiful” arrangement. His crystal-clear tone and perfect pitch were truly a vocal master class, as Simon said. 2nd place: Kris. He showed us his versatile talent- piano on one, guitar on the other. Again, diction was his problem, though it got better as he went. I thought it was brave to only accompany himself on “Heartless”. He was wonderful. 3rd place: Adam. The shameless, shameless judges didn’t point out that he was flat, underpitch on both songs(despite the fact he had an earpiece giving him the pitch.) The 2nd one was painful with the out of tune back-up singers. The producers/judges obviously want him to win, and have pulled out all the stops. I hope America sees through it. Sheesh!
