Thanks for helpi...Love you and all your commentary. Thanks for helping me understand your Lauren fandom. I do think they picked some good contestants this year. I could see Casey, Scottie or James winning right now. But things do change week to week. If Haley keeps in the jazz vein that really challenges her artistry and vocals, she could keep rising. <br /><br />No matter, your blog is terrific, Gillian. So well thought out, witty and beautifully laid out as well. Nice work. And thanks for entertaining me each week!<br /><br />Oh, and there's a lot of chemistry between Casey and Haley so maybe those rumors are true! Their jazz duet last night was exceptional.Jeff Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448427595421730989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653748240563457510.post-26360977698866338972011-04-15T04:46:38.724-07:002011-04-15T04:46:38.724-07:00Jeff -
I know, I know, why do I love Lauren? Yes,...Jeff -<br /><br />I know, I know, why do I love Lauren? Yes, it's cringe-worthy that she chose a Miley Cyrus song. And she's just a teenager. And objectively, I know that she is not shining like some of the other contestants. Her last two performances have been safe and bland. SHe could go so much further with her voice, and she just...doesn't. And then there's her Mom...who looks like she could be younger than Lauren...Lauren almost has that child-beauty-pageant vibe going on, she's so made up (and so is her mom).<br /><br />BUT...I still love her. I agree with what J-Lo said, she has that "cry" in her voice, that twangy, bittersweet country THANG that just breaks your heart - if you listen to enough country music and like that kind of thing. And I do. I'm a SUCKER. But you can keep trying to convince me not to like her, I enjoy the conversation!<br /><br />And Stefano - god, JERSEY BOYS would be the perfect vehicle to shoot him to stardom! HA! Seriously, that's perfect. So true. <br /><br />I'm glad Haley got to stay another week - (the rumor is that she and Casey are an ITEM?!) They certainly had great chemistry during that little number they did last night - wow, Haley KILLED it!!!<br /><br />As for Paul, he's the good-time guy of the show, but I'm sure we all agree, his number was up, whether it came before or after Jersey Boy.<br /><br />LOVE IT!!!!gillian carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235529737130257009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653748240563457510.post-10248634450166800702011-04-14T17:50:15.256-07:002011-04-14T17:50:15.256-07:00A wonderful and accurate assessment again, Gillie ...A wonderful and accurate assessment again, Gillie Donut! Except...<br /><br />I don't understand why you like Lauren so. She's so average and colorless to me. There's nothing that makes her special really. And she picked a Miley Cyrus movie, out of all the movies she could have chosen a song from? Yeesh.Send the teenager home.<br /><br />But the rest of your take is so right on. I fear it may be Haley's time to go since she didn't do very well last night. She's got a good jazzy voice but sometimes holds back. Like last night. Balls to the wall, Haley! Make J-Lo grimace and groove when you sing like she did when you sang about Benny and those jets. (Oh, and BTW her name is spelled HALEY not HAILEY.) <br /><br />But for my money, the one going home really should be Stefano. If he gets the road company version of JERSEY BOYS he will have reached the highest high his career will achieve. Both he and Lauren are the two that make IDOL seem like expensive karaoke to me. Ugh.Jeff Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448427595421730989noreply@blogger.com
