Judges' Choice.


David Archuleta.

And So It Goats by Billy Joel (Paula)

Made famous (infamous?) in Season 2 by Caaaarmen Rasmuuuuusen. Liking the violins, and surprisingly David isn't too flat. But the violins are nowhere to be heard in the first line, and I don't like his voice enough to just listen to it a cappella. And then the signature *gasp*, followed by some beautiful violins. I think he was pitchy in that spot (not surprisingly, having held an entire line without instruments) although not off-puttingly so. It's shrieky where it needs to be soft, though (feeling the rose, shrieked; feeling the thorns, soft; huh?). It's a nice enough redo of the original, just different enough to be interesting, although not exactly well-interpreted for me.

A 6.

Randy: (Orgasms on stage!) You know what I'm happy about? Paula chose a dope song. You can sing anything! I would have loved to see you play the piano! You are in the zone! You are in it to win it!
Paula: Pure, stunning performnace. Tonight you were a storyteller.
Simon: Yeah. It was very good, you know, no surprises. Bit predictable.
Audience: HUH? BOO!
Simon: Not really a criticism. Good, not outstanding.
Audience: IT WAS! IT WAS!
Simon to shrieking girls in audience: You're now judging? I don't think so. Anyway, good.
