Did anyone watch this today? It's really decent. Cyndi Lauper and Toni Braxton were judging.

I don't think they were ALL good. That second to last singer (the blonde with the sparkly dress) wasn't good until she was belting. She doesn't have much range. And the other blonde lady also.
I thought both guys were great, especially the second one (not the doctor...the one from Chicago). And the woman who sang a Whitney Houston song. She's a mother of 5. The first lady was good, but VERY nervous. She sang "At Last" which was funny since Cyndi Lauper was sitting right there, and just recorded the same song. lol

I think the final three will be:
Jackie
Lorenzo (he's the guy from Chicago)
and either Lashell or Laneesha (both did Whitney Houston songs)

LaShell's performance actually moved Cyndi Lauper to tears (lol in a good way)

Ok so they all weren't Very Good.. I guess I was comparing them to myself who can't sing at all ...hehe.... but yes I agree that the second guy was good. :)

It was on yesterday. Next Monday (Feb. 16th) they will narrow it down to 3 people out of the 8 that were semi-finalists and sang yesterday. The viewers call in or go online to vote, and the voting ends at 6pm eastern time tonight.
The judges yesterday were: Cyndi Lauper, Toni Braxton, and Brian McKnight.

The Judges for the final show will be: Babyface, Alicia Keys, and Simon Cowell. So next Monday should be really good. :)

Also, the winner will be getting a record deal with Epic.
