Teams Adam and Cee-Lo are the latest to perform and they did not disappoint. Cee-Lo's Jamar Rogers and Juliet Simms both followed up their stellar performances with equally talented numbers tonight. Jamar performed "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi and his style really suited this particular song. He was rarely off pitch, showing me that he really can be consistent. Juliet performed " Cryin' " and despite confusing me with her new look, she blew me away with her range! It was a wonderful choice for her.
For me personally, James and Cheesa both fell short as Cheesa was much better in her save performance and James connected better to his song selection last week. Overall though, team Cee-Lo really put up tough competition for team Adam to beat!
Team Adam's Tony Lucca surprised all by performing Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" and making it much edgier than expected. I liked the approach and it showed he can really branch out. Mathai definitely did not do as well tonight as with "Ordinary People" but I could tell this song made her uncomfortable. She didn't seem comfortable with the pitch and she didn't really have a feel for the song overall. Pip also had that same reaction to Adam's selection of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" and it showed in his performance. It was very lackluster and didn't feel like it was a genuine Pip performance. Lastly, Katrina impressed with "Jar of Hearts." For the first time in this competition, despite her being dressed eerily similar to Adele, I felt like she was her own separate artist and had her own identity. It was beautifully refreshing and I loved it. I'm hoping that America saves her because based on just tonight's performance, she deserves to stay.
Then came the instant eliminations. Boy are those things causing real controversy. First with Christina eliminating Jesse and then with Blake eliminating Jordis! Now, they are bound to be criticized even more. Cee-Lo eliminated James and Adam, shockingly, eliminated Pip. Pip was one of his highest scoring artists but it looks like Adam is pulling for Katrina or Tony to win at this point.
I can't wait for the results tomorrow. Who else is going to be eliminated this week?
Till then,
