Which brings me to another point, don’t confuse a karaoke standard, with a song that can only be played one way. ONE is not a karaoke song, hthe music is has important as the words, meaning if you sing it, you better love it and not change the music, because it is immortal. Where (no disrespect to Danny) “You are so Beautiful” is a standard karaoke song, like Pasty Kline’s “Crazy.” I’m still pissed.

Kris and Danny split in my book. Danny’s two performances were overall better than Kris’s two but Kris’ “Heartless” was by far the best of the night. And, like I have been saying Kris is ready to package up and put on the road, where Adam and Danny are going to take some work. By that I mean, figuring out a direction, finding a band, and the list goes on. The AI songwriters could ruin them almost as easily as they ruined Archie two weeks ago.

I have no idea who is going to win tonight. I think Danny and Kris split the Red States and Adam takes the coasts. This one could be closer than Franken vs Coleman.

I think Danny was screaming too much on his first song. His second was very good, really good. But I really don’t get any emotion from him.

I loved Kris’s take on “Apologize”. I gotta say I love how he feels the songs and though I think the judges didn’t drive the AI bus over him, they did get to be a little hard on him. His second song, however, was A BOMB. Period.

I liked Adam when he started “One” but when he hit the bridge I was covering my ears. I couldn’t believe it! He slayed it, and not in a good way. I can’t believe I’m going to write this, but he was off on some notes.

There’s no one better!

I still have no idea what Paula is saying though.
