Drew. Wow. That sounded pretty awesome I think.

Felt like a song she would release. She uptempod it and for the first time she sounded great during those parts.
 
I really enjoyed that, I cannot wait for the day Simon rips out Nicole's spine mortal kombat style for all her pointless nagging just to nag
 
Drew: B+

The vocal was almost perfect, but Drew should have got out of the chair at some point. And LMAO @ Simon's dig at Paula
 
Rachael: C

She was slipping in and out of key, and I started to lose interest as the song went on. Like the first two judges, there definitely was a disconnect between her and the song. I don't even think Rachael HERSELF was into it.
 
I'm not really buying it when a kid her age says "I love MJ, so inspired, etc." It sounds absolutely contrived and scripted.


Edit: omg, Marcus is going to butcher whatever song he picks.
 
Embarrassing. My eyes nearly rolled out of their sockets when he did that spin.

This seemed like a bad parody of Usher.
 
Kinda funny they are doing the Michael Jackson theme considering the Penn St/Syracuse scandals going on. And it was odd having the kid saying how much she loves mj...
 
Marcus: C

I did NOT like that arrangement at all. The vocals seemed stretched and the performance seemed to be a little all over the place.
 
Simon nitpicking, vocals were good considering the gymnastics. Beyonce can dance and still sound impeccable, but it would be unfair to compare everyone to her.

It's weird that the show has spent all this time trying to convince us that Marcus is some Usher-like gifted performer. Dude won't make it as a solo artist, and all the pyro in the world can't hide the fact he's as bland as Susan Boyle.
 
I'm not liking Chris' performance either.


Who knew Drew would have the top performance of the night so far. Hopefully Melanie will come at the end and ravage everyone's wigs.
 
Chris: D+

Awful vocals. Good Lord, this fool can't sing. And considering the song's tempo, it was almost like a slow death.
 
They should've given her a mic stand so she wouldn't be just standing there awkwardly...

... but she slayed, of course. Wigs were snatched, burned and recycled.
 
Astro and Melanie go through for me. Chris Rene and Rachel Crow need to go now. The rest I don't care enough to comment on.

Billie Jean and PYT are two of MJ's best songs and they were shat on tonight.
