These song choices are disappointing.
Which ones? For this week or next week?
I actually don't mind this week's selection. I wish some people had chosen harder songs, but there aren't any I'm dreading. Some people were quite ambitious!
I just hope people rise to the occasion next week.
So, how WOULD a capella versions do?
Tough to say. I like to think that I grade strictly on the voice, but I'm sure subconsciously I (and probably the listeners) also tend to like the ones that imitate a real recording the most. But I think as long as it sounds professional (in audio quality, and obviously singing quality), acap. isn't a problem!
Ok. Holding "Go the Distance" and "Moon River"
I'd actually prefer acapella of a good song to a cheesy track or less favorable song choice.
Although, I do think I am probably in the minority in terms of the voters.
I think if it is jerby people wouldn't care...hell I would listen to him sing the phonebook acapella (but that is just me...)

That's true. Cheesy tracks would kill the mofo. The Summertime track is pretty awful, but luckily Kerrie plays it very quietly.
After this week, I will start having access to a pianist for Broadway songs, etc.
Awesome.
Kudos points to anyone who does the GRAMMY winning song "YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE" from the movie of th same name - written by Joe Brooks.
My only exposure to that song is from "Miss Congeniality" so...no.

"You loooove me. You think I'm speeeecial."
BTW, who's planning on showing Patty a good time when he's in NY next month? (I believe it's shortly before the finale for Idol!)
I live in NY!
You know you'll be expected to sing "Still Hurting" on command, right?
Haha.. I'll be prepared.
I've just stuck in a FAQ section to the first post. I wonder who'll read it.
And now I've received all 6 clips and I'm very happy indeed! Can't wait until tomorrow!
I have all six clips aw well.. Let just hope I have time to listen and critique them all before the show.. Thursdays are bad.. Meetings, meetings, and more meetings..
I love the FAQ. Very nice work Tiff.
You can do it Cam, you have mad skills.
I hope this week lives up to the performances of last week, I am ready to listen.
**crosses fingers**
Lets hope I can Pengers.. Lets hope..
How are you today?
Hellooooo my dears! How is everyone on this sunshiney day?
Kitzy is freakin' tired.
Another new Av Kitzy??
Why so tired? Play too late last night?
I was told to change it, and since Patty is the MBCotD I thought I'd oblige.
And I'm tired because I'm ALWAYS tired. And because waking up at 6:30 will never agree wtih me, no matter how much sleep I get.
