I think that the music of David Bowie was difficult for most of the contestants.<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=I14FU0p2Fws<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to next week where the music of "departed Rock 'n Rollers" will be featured.<BR/><BR/>It could prove to be quite enjoyable since I suspect that Elvis' music would definitely be in that category.<BR/><BR/>I think that sometimes the comments from the judges could have another purpose. Perhaps it is a method used to encourage more people to vote. The time of year is also a detriment to getting people to vote. Most people are outside enjoying the beautiful weather on a Monday night and they are not sitting inside watching television.<BR/><BR/>I hope that the hometowns of the contestants will support them by generating the votes. <BR/><BR/>Let's see what next week brings to the table.KarinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723515397274278683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836429639172326146.post-69761898098848610412008-07-16T14:11:00.000-04:002008-07-16T14:11:00.000-04:00Karin, I love the route you've taken us on across...Karin, <BR/>I love the route you've taken us on across the border to Canada, and I'm enjoying all of the wonderful connections! <BR/>It's been fun to make another 'trip' together!<BR/><BR/>Season 5 of American Idol was the only season for me!<BR/>It's no big secret that Taylor Hicks was what kept me drawn to the show and the only reason for tuning in.<BR/><BR/>Most times I found myself tuning out what the judges had to say about Taylor's performances though. I'd gotten to the point of pretty much guessing what kind of comment we could expect from each of the judges.<BR/><BR/>The coments they made for Taylor's "Just Once" floored me though. It was a great performance, he sang the song beautifully and his voice was just full of passionate emotion. In fact I think his version would make a superb movie soundtrack.<BR/><BR/>I am in total agreement with you, I believe that the judges knew what they were going to say before Taylor even sang the first note.<BR/>AI had given Taylor grief from the beginning on his song choice for Love Song Week, not allowing his first pick, then poo-pooing his second choice.<BR/><BR/>Which brings me to the comments made to Sebastian by the Canadian judges. I am not familiar with your judges, or the type of comments they usually give, but I found their comments pretty inane!<BR/><BR/>David Bowie's music is not my kind of music. Like Sebastian and Taylor ... I too prefer blues and soul music, so I can't really make a constructive comment on how well Sebastian did on his arrangement.<BR/>I am impressed with the way in which he handled their criticism!<BR/><BR/>Results are in and Sebastian made it through to the next week! <BR/>Karin,I'm looking forward to the next leg of our 'trip'.<BR/><BR/>Go get 'em Sebastian!Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321885442060047909noreply@blogger.com
