By the way, am I the only one who thinks that Chris Rene would absolutely knock "Ain't No Sunshine" out of the park? He can even include a random rap interlude and I wouldn't mind...too much.

So little knowledge of hip hop...

[Delio]

Why is he still here again? Oh yeah cause he sounds good with original songs :/

 

[royalan]

lawd hammercy

clutching my pearls.

Mmm...that's the one!



Chris Rene...Ugh...you better pull another rabbit out of your hat for your second performance....

 

[MIMIC]

Chris (#1). D+

My favorite part of the song was when the song went "I just want to fly" where it was just the backing track. This was STRAIGHT UP KARAOKE. BAD karaoke.

 

[Red_Man]

I, mercifully, forgot this song existed. Fuck you Chris Rene

:lol :lol so true god I hope Chris does a line back stage and gets disqualified I can't stand this piece of shit and the love he's getting.

 

[DominoKid]

lol Simon must be the only one with ears. the rest of him are riding his dick hard lol.

Yeah, he really was that awful...but is it so bad that I could totally see him killing a studio track with his unique delivery?


I dunno...I'm kinda rooting for him now....

 

[Discotheque]

He'd work in a studio but seeing as this is a competition that relies on live-ability he should have been axed weeks ago.

 

[MIMIC]

That was an awful song (choice) to begin with. There wasn't much he could do with that. But it's not like it matters ^_^

 

[GitarooMan]

Rene was laughably bad. Judges get so soft at the end of these seasons even Simon couldn't really go negative like he should have.

 

[Koodo]

While Chris Rene flopped, I cooked another pizza.

This week's pizza has spinach.

LOL gunshot sound effect. Subtle. Anyway DMX is crap, and his crap interpretation is very fitting for the soundtrack to that crappy movie.

 

[MIMIC]

Damn, my food is here. I can't slaughter Chris anymore ATM

 

[Discotheque]

I appreciate you standing up to Tabris when he was Astro-crazy, but come on Leona. DMX is a baller, 2 great albums under his belt.

 

[Red_Man]

Pretty crazy that the girl who will probably win this didn't even make the original cuts.

 

[Leona Lewis]

He's no Jay-Z or even Kanye. His deadpan delivery is nothing compared to the straight up fiah' that the best in the biz expel with inhuman ease. LOW EXPECTATIONS, PEOPLE

 

[Delio]

So flawless.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Melanie slays per usual

 

[Discotheque]

Pretty crazy that the girl who will probably win this didn't even make the original cuts.

she always made the original cut. That was just a ratings-stunt.

That's actually one of DMX's best songs in my opinion. It's also Anderson Silva's intro music in UFC.

I know it's too much for your housewife sensibilities, so you can balance it with this:

Spoiler

Yes still bitter about Astro and everyone who disagreed with me about him

 

[royalan]

Melanie is back to being a boring balladeer, I see...

I don't think I've ever hated such technically good vocals like this before...

 

[Leona Lewis]

The original swallowed her whole, but the song's a crowd pleaser, she'll be fine.

Who's the arms-crossed hottie behind LA in the tight white tee? So much horny tonight.

Celine Dion can suck my balls.

OMG, Walter A is in the audience? He's an Absolute. Genius.

 

[royalan]

I think this is one of the rare times I have to agree with LA. Melanie is a good vocalist. She sings the songs competently on a technical level. But there's no spark or passion. No uniqueness in her delivery. She rarely tries to make the songs her own - she just goes for the notes that the original singer hit.

She's the vocal equivalent of a really good Xerox machine. I see her easily being the most dull of the contestants if she wins.

 

[Red_Man]

LA Reid just tweeted "karaoke at its finest..." after Melanie's performance :lol so bitter

This is true. She needs to get her heart ripped out before she sings these songs, imo

/harsh

oh he mad

 

[royalan]

The Beatles, along with Mariah and Whitney, really ought to be banned from singing competitions...

 

[Red_Man]

I need a josh kajuck album noooooowwwwwww.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

lollllll simon

mte

 

[Koodo]

Slayjcik's skin looks good.


Edit: Nicole would advertise pressed on manicure.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Simon's in God mode tonight. Snarky perfection.

 

[royalan]

Good performance.

I'm surprised the judges thought this was such a comeback for him. I thought it was a little soulless and dialed-in, despite being good. His second performance last week was much better.

I think Josh has been pretty consistent...

 

[royalan]

Edit: Nicole would advertise pressed on manicure.

My roommates and I were DEAD @ that commercial. Press-on nails? Really?

Nicole, you are doomed to be forever irrelevant.

 

[Koodo]

LA's convulsing face destroyed me.

 

[Leona Lewis]

More Splenda Usher, with a dash of Josh Legend Sweet n' Low in the beginning.

LA's convulsing face destroyed me.

 

[royalan]

Ugh, now he's being a corny Ne-Yo. NE-YO

I just don't like his tone, or how corny his delivery always is. The over-choreographed performances don't help, either.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Simon goin' IN

 

[Koodo]

Marcus simply does not have the X Factor. He looks and sounds like a prop on stage, not like a ringleader.

DIG INTO HIM SIMON.

 

[Red_Man]

Hahahaha Simon destroying fools and keeping it real thank god.

 

[royalan]

Simon goin' IN

And he's 100% correct.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Marcus has to be done, right? That was awful. The confetti, the dancers, just completely overdone.

 

[GitarooMan]

And he's 100% correct.

Rene was worse though he should have went harder after him on the first song.

 

[royalan]

Rene was worse though he should have went harder after him on the first song.

Chris Rene is at least marketable. Marcus isn't. At all.

Mark my words: Marcus will be about as relevant to the music scene after this show as a Nicole Scherzinger tribute performed by Lilly Allen.

 

[Red_Man]

HEY GUYS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU FORGOT BUT CHRIS RENEE USED TO DO DRUGS AND HE'S REALLY STRONG NOW AND ALL THAT STUFF

 

[Koodo]

HEY GUYS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU FORGOT BUT CHRIS RENEE USED TO DO DRUGS AND HE'S REALLY STRONG NOW AND ALL THAT STUFF

dead

God they squeezing the sap dry out of this. I don't wanna seem like Robo-Steve but come on.

 

[Leona Lewis]

The only time these contestant sob stories ever made me cry was when Leroy broke down over his mom's death. It was too real.

Love your moms, people.
