Spider:
This was a song that I used to sing a lot when I performed in high school so I know it front and back.
Very nice voice.
I feel like it was a bit too strong on some of the flips (ie. Hello Samantha dear I hope your feeling fine) I'd like just a tad more of the twangy Garth in that, but your voice is very strong didn't sound bad just a style difference for me.
With your voice, I'd like to have heard you do Garth Brooks version of Shameless.
Nice strong voice, and you did very well on the country even though again, I doubt that's your first style choice.
Have I said how excited I am for '90s week? Have I? Have I?
I didn't want to do a slow song because the last two weeks I have done slow songs so I wanted to do something faster. And I am not a country fan, so you are correct when you said that it is not my first style choice. When I first started singing it, I did a "twang" in my voice and it sounded so fake and bad karaokeish so I just did it in my normal voice.
yay 90s week!!!
Ok, I have to run...have another date in an hour. YAY!
Bye, kids!
All the songs in a fun zip folder... http://www.sendspace.com/file/dsjimz
Megaupload was being a bitch.
Thanks, Gertrude. I'll update the first post with that.
YOU BITCHES CAN VOTE NOW! (Including you impatient f***s who came too early!)
When can we expect judge's comments?

WELL!!
From now on, I'm waiting until the last minute to vote, no matter how many IMs I get.
Hmph.
I can post Jaily's now. Cam and I still haven't written ours *whistles* but I'll have mine done in the next half hour.
I wasn't rushing...just wondering.
Akiva
Please . . . take your time.
Not a problem. If you hadn't reminded me, I probably would be off making a sandwich now and would've forgotten about it.
Here's Jaily's critique. I'll get his scores in a moment.
Ebonic Singer: Something tells me you're a Designing Women fan...(late seasons, not early). This sounded JUST like Ray Charles' version, which of course isn't a bad thing. Your voice as always makes me tremble in my naughty bits. You go, boy. Gotta watch that pitch, though, babe...yikes. (8.6/10)
Allie: Honey, that was just goddamn beautiful. You had some issues with being flat on the high notes, but it's country...who cares? Rock on. (9.1/10)
Jerby: Damn. Your voice is PERFECT for this genre. Who knew? Get thee to Nashville, hence. (9.0/10)
Rath: As soon as I can clean up the puddle I've turned into, I'll comment. If you don't win this competition, I will lose whatever pathetic shreds of faith I have in the human race. (9.7/10)
Broadway86: Alright, now, boo...work it out! Like Jerby, your voice takes extremely well to this genre and your interpretive skills are top-notch. Well done, chap. (8.8/10)
Kitzy: Well what a CHEERFUL frickin' song! Your voice was a bit nasal and pinched here...I'm thinking you were just trying to DixieChick it up a bit, which, given my terrible and all-consuming hatred of the Dixie Chicks, was not a good idea. I like big, bold, brassy, belty, crazy Kitzy better. (8.1/10)
Akiva: Damn...who knew you had a lower register? That shizzle is HOT, babe. This song made me fall a little more in love with you than I already was. Not sure how I feel about the hard "R"s, though...still, it's your thing, do what you wanna do. (8.2/10)
WesternSky: BABE! I mean, damn! You WORK that voice, honey. Best I've ever heard out of you. (Except maybe that first song you did, which was also fierce-tastic.) Don't know what to say, except...this was perfect. You and Rath are gonna have a hair-puller, I can tell... (9.5/10)
Spidey: Hot fiddling. You start phrases beautifully, but they tend to become screamy. Your diction is f'ckin HOT, though. I dig your tongue action... (8.4/10)

Hahahaha. Practically all Jaily's comments are dirty. I love this man.
Everyone was better than me, but **VOTE FOR SPIDEY**

Okay I've updated with scores now.

Ebonic--Great tone but a little pitchy (which I am guilty of this as well)
Allie--GREAT job. You have such a good voice and I think this is def. your best week.
Jrb--What can I say that hasn't been said? This was definetly your week and you showed us exactly how versatile you are (head out of gutter . . . thank you )
Rath--I have always said and I still say that you are one of the best voices I have heard throughout this competition and before. Great job.
Bway86--Def. your best week as well. VERY impressed.
Kitzy-- Earl probably died from your vocal hotness. Grrrrowl.
Akiva--Great job, man.
Western--You are on my top 3 list of fav.s and you proved to me once again why you are on this list. **in the Arsenio Hall way** Woooot! Woooot!
Oh, and I thought this would go without saying, but contestants can't vote for themselves twice. They can vote for themselves and one more person.
This person knows who he/she is.
(But nice try though.)
Hah...That's awesome. I probably would have tried that too had you not just posted that.
Akiva
I've already voted so you guys and gals can stop offering up sexual favors in PMs.
And Tiff...you aren't even a contestant so you really should stop.
