80 year old Tony Bennett proclaims "theyre all very competent" befoer the 9 fianlists sing american classics.
blake is going to rock a song that tony has to remind him was 'pre-rap', so he should leave it that way. blake could be a lounge singer if he wanted to, oh yeah. man he sounds classy and effortlessly bounces around the stage while putting on a flawless vocal. "youre a hip cat"! comments paula.
phil has really been looking foward to this week, because tony is an idol to him. paula thinks hes like a young sinatra and simon wonders which sinatra shes talking about. another boring performance from gollum.
melinda doolittle sings 'who could ask for anything more' and randy declares 'this is how you do it america!' simon says we cant even critcize you. eh, wasn't all that great.
chris richardson is gonna sing a song he's never done before and can hardly remember the words to. tony thinks he'll be fine if he can remember the lyrics. he did in fact remember the lyrics and i thought he pulled it off allright, nothing spectacular, but the judges all loved it.
'on a clear day', sings jordin sparks, 'it was right on' says tony bennett, but unfortunately i thought it sounded like a high school musical. damn. 'magnet of joy'....im just so frickin proud of you!' bellows paula.
glocksen! grrr. her performance of 'smile' gets a boost before she even gets on stage when tony bennett says the song reminds him of 9/11 and our troops in iraq. she sounds average as usual, and even tony bennett's loe of our military cannot make that an impressive number for gina.
tony bennett compliments "im a big fan of yours...." to sanjaya malakar. 'dancing cheek to cheek' is sanjayas choice and its such a mellow and easy song that even he cant fuck it up that bad.
"lets try a different tactic this week, incredible!" jests simon.
"welcome to the universe of sanjaya" fires back the 17 year old anti-sensation
'aint misbehavin' a typically dull number from haley. randy and paula do the cloest thing to a 'pass' ive ever seen on the show. "nice legs" is simon cowells only comment. hopefully she'll be gone soon.
lakisha's up and finally we have a chance for a good performance. sure enough she knocked it out, the best of the night.
blake and lakisha bookended the night with the only standout performances, tomorrow tony bennett performs and gina glocksen goes home.
