Here we are. The first performance night. Good news, guys night. Bad news, it’s 60’s night.
First up is David Hernandez. I felt it was a weird song choice. Randy said he could blow. (huh?). Paula said he was brilliant. Simon felt the beginning was terrific, but lost it in the middle. Said he should loosen up.
Chikezie was lounge-y, both sounding and looking! Randy said he was ‘pretty good’ but old fashioned. Paula: “you’ve come a long way”. Thought he looked great. Simon hated the whole performance. Said it was ‘so old fashioned’.
David Cook. OMG. Great song choice. He got the audience on their feet. I thought he rocked! Randy said he ‘made a rock joint’ out of Happy Together. Paula felt it was worthy - rocked it. Simon said it was good, but mentioned that he shouted in the middle. “Almost believable”.
Jason Yeager... Where was this guy during auditions? I thought he was alright. Kinda cute, but too smiley. Eh, I hate the song Moon River. Randy said ‘all you boys can blow’ (he is so dirteh tonight!) and told him to focus. Paula, well she did her first ballet recital to Moon River. Aw.. Simon said he was very ‘cruise ship’ and compared him to a dependable old dog. LOL. I love when simon agrees with me.
