Tuesday night's show in New Orleans:
Sundeep was the tall guy in the suit who sang Eye of the Tiger - he even warmed up by doing the Sylvester Stallone air-punching-bag. He's an accountant, and yes I think I mentioned he was wearing a suit, so you can guess how badly that turned out.
My favorite moment was when Simon told Paula listening to her commentary was like watching Antiques Road Show: people kind of tune out during the description - all we really want to know is how much that damn vase is worth, ie are we going to Hollywood or not?!
Wednesday night in Vegas:
There was a set of twins at the end of the New Orleans show that didn't make it through but the judges said one was definitely better than the other. Well the better of the two Molfetta twins showed up in Vegas and made it through. I'm glad he came back.
Did you see the guy with the crazy eyes? I can't find his pic now, but he looked like a complete nut - huge buggy eyes when he talked. He recounted some wacky story about being deaf at birth and that Neil Diamond was the first song he ever heard and he's been a fan ever since. But then he butchered one of my faves, Coming to America. How could he disrespect Neil that way?!
There was a "cocktail waitress" named Sharon Galvez who had some of the longest legs I've ever seen. Simon couldn't get enough, and the editors were careful to show him giving the girl the "up-down". We also saw a showgirl who Simon let through in all likelihood to get a look at her showgirl friends in the next round. Actually both of these girls had great voices so they should be fun to watch in the upcoming shows.
Vegas even brought us a 22-year old psychic. Evidently she shook her magic 8 ball and when she saw a "10" she assumed she would be in the top 10. Not so much. She was horrid - no better singer than she is a psychic.
In my opinion Jennifer Todd had the best voice of the night. She sang Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You. As a plus size woman I doubt she'll make it to the top five, as there still seems to be more stigma out there for the larger ladies than guys (ie Ruben). However, I am thrilled that they put her through, and especially glad that Simon held his tongue and didn't get ugly about her weight.
