Mary J is the guest mentor and the guys are singing Stevie while the girls sing Whitney. Too soon, y'all, too soon.
Joshua Ledet -- With the Stevie WOnder song that jet lag is keeping me from naming. This guy rocks it out. I think his energy is great, but not sure where he fits in today's landscape. VOTE
Elise -- "I'm Your Baby" She had a tough session with Mary J and Jimmy. They changed her song but I do think it was the right choice. She is just so tough sounding, she has to be careful it doesn't come off cold. Good job but the emotion was off. She did look less Kesha, but seriously looks older than me. Maybe she should go brunette?
Jermaine -- "Knocks Me Off My Feet" This is the gentle giant. Once again, where does he fit in the landscape, but for now, I enjoy him. He makes me smile. He is seriously from another time.
Erika Van Pelt -- "I believe in You and Me" So glad this woman made it in. Saying woman because she too seems to be 40 yrs old. Her hair and make-up were really good and clean, but the gown was horrific. Great job. She didn't push too hard and got the depth. VOTE
KEY NOTE: JLo needs to stop with the "goosies" It was cute once in a while, but enough. You are not 4 years old. "Goosies" - that's retarded.
Colton Dixon -- "Lately" Definitely the most contemporary voice in the competition. He reminds me of Bertrand in my Paris office. Super skinny BERT! Obviously Stevie is not his thing, but he did a good job at retaining his personality and showcasing his voice. VOTE
Shannon Magrane -- "I Have Nothing" This girl confuses me. She reminds me of Shailene Woodley from the Descendents but then she starts singing like a much older black woman. It seems she did great in the rehearsal, but she did not carry this off tonight. She had a hard time. Jennifer was great with her words of support.
Milli Vanilli -- "Master Blaster" Milli Vanilli was on a rasta colored stage tonight. I cannot keep a straight face through this. Is this a 1985 Lionel Richie video? I actually liked his save me song last week. I just can't with the "jam on."
Skyler Laine -- "Where do Broken Hearts Go?" This girl blew me away last week. Mary got goosies with this. She is so honky tonk with that accent. Hey if Whitney can do Dolly, why can't Dolly do Whitney? I used to stand on my parents living room windowsill (the reverb on a window is amazing) singing this to the empty house. Yep, I did. Her voice is so effortlessly on pitch. It is so stylistic but she can sing anything. VOTE Randy gave her a "That was Hot"
HeeJun -- "All is Love is Fair" This guy is my favorite and I hope he stays on all season. Not because he has the best voice but because he is the most entertaining person ever. I want him to come hang out with me. He gave signed pictures of himself to Jimmy and Mary J saying he loves Jimmy but he loves Mary J more. Hysterical. On the singing part, he has a good voice but needs to find a modern song at some point to blast it out of the park. He did a really good job though with grand song. VOTE
Hollie Cavanagh -- "All the Man that I need" This girl is like 4 feet tall. And her voice is 25 feet tall. Is she Australian? God the styling of her is so 90's prom. She did Whitney justice. I can't imagine what that sounds like in person. Oh that ending. Killed me. Just killed me. VOTE VOTE VOTE
Jeremy Rosado -- "Ribbon in the Sky" Love this teddy bear. He did a good job. His voice is soft and sweet and I do love his heart. I want to see him go through this process VOTE
Jessica -- "I Will Always Love You" She is the one to try to do this. Seriously, her and Hollie should take this all the way to the end. She has this Jennifer Hudson in that little Asian body of hers. Yes it was a copycat of Whitney's version, but for her to do it so effortlessly, why not go for it? Man, this girl is incredible. VOTE VOTE VOTE
Phillip Phillips -- "Superstition" This guy is hot. As Jimmy said, he is that rare find of great musician and great singer. And might I add, HOTTIE. He is zoo cool. Calling Chris Martin and Dave Matthews, watch your back. VOTE VOTE VOTE
Winners of the night? Here's my ranking
Jessica
Phillip
Hollie
Skylar
Joshua Ledet
Erika
Heejun
Colton
Jeremy R
Jermaine
Shannon
Elise
Milli Vanilli
Probably Elise is going.
Great show that keep me going through the jet lag! Randy says Joshua and Jessica were best of night, Jennifer says Shannon and Steven says Shannon and Elise were at bottom. Steven rates Jessica as tops.
Don't be ashamed of your obsessions -- or watching two Ryan Gosling movies on the plane home like I did.
