Final 9 Tony Bennett

Not my favorite genre but I managed to get through it.

Blake: I missed his performance. I would love to hear (read) comments.

Phil: Day and Night
A few rough notes in this song but an overall decent vocal. The performance was very boring for me.
R: Didn't feel a connection. Have more joy.
P: Young Frank Sinatra, show more personality.
S: Showed the joy of someone singing at a funeral.

Melinda: I've Got Rythmn
Great vocal but the dress sucked. Melinda seems very comfortable on stage and performing.
R: Gives everyone a lesson in singing every week.
P: Flawless performance.
S: Liked the last half of the song. Don't think we will ever be able to criticize you.

Chris:
Mr. Bouncy Knees. Chris had an okay vocal and seemed to have a good time performing his song. I think I am biased because I just don't like him. The sound of his nasally voice is obnoxious and his wanna be hip hop bounce is the same no matter what he sings. He is annoying.
R: Came out with a vengence. One of your best performances this season.
P: You didn't compromise. The song was hip and cool.
S: Thought it was very good, very believable.

Jordin: On a Clear Day
Jordin sang with a clear and crisp voice. Very good vocal I think. She had a very relaxed performance. WATCH OUT! Isn't this how Kelly Clarkston snuck in the first season?
R: The bomb!
P: So frickin' proud of you.
S: Sang very well but do think it was young and current.

Gina: Smile
What is up with her hair??? Great vocal but the performance was only okay for me. I would love to see a rocker chick win this year though.
R: Very controlled.
P: Flawless
S: Can't rave on the vocals because two girls before you out sang you.

Sanjaya:
OH MY LORD! Sanjaya goes geek singing Cheek to Cheek!!! His performance reminded me of soemthing from the Partridge Family. Weak vocal. . . dah!!!!!
R: Not going to comment on the vocal anymore. Great entertainer.
P: Charming. Vocals off in the beginning.
S: I am going to try something different this week. . . INCREDIBLE.

Haley: Misbehavin'
Broadway performance - maybe cruise ship entertainment.
R: Good type of song for you.
P: You did your thing.
S: Good style of song for you but a little pagenty.

LeKisha: Stormy Weather
Beginning of the song was a bit rough. LeKisha recovered the vocals well though and finished the song on a great note!
R: Perfect song for you.
P: Sang beautifully and look beautiful.
S: Sassy great performance!

The best performance for me this week were: Jordin and Gina.
The worst performance for me this week were: Sanjaya (but I guess he doesn't count), Haley and Phil.
