Tonight was an interesting theme night. Songs about California (rather strange theme) and then a second song of songs they wish they wrote (which is kind of like the songs of their idols theme). With this theme night, it would seem that we would get an interesting night of singing and that's what we got.
Phil sang "Have you ever seen the rain" by CCR. Pretty good rendition.
Hollie sang "Faithfully" by Journey. Solid but didn't soar like this song needs to.
Joshua sang "You raise me up" by Josh Groban. That song is an amazing song and sung in a soul touching way by Josh Groban. The song was just too big for him although the ending was really cool.
Jessica sang "Steal away" by Etta James. Very good.
For this first round, Jessica easily was the best.
Phil and Joshua sang "This love" by Maroon 5. Very good!
Jessica and Hollie sang "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles. I love the original song but for a duet between two powerhouse voices it was a rather strange song choice. Interesting harmony choices. Randy found it strange, I agree with his critique.
The top 4 sang "Waiting for a girl like you" by Foreigner.
Next theme was the Idols singing songs they wish they wrote
Phil sang "Volcano" by Damien Rice. Very nice.
Hollie sang "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt. Good but didn't soar again. Just not enough emotion for what this song needs.
Joshua sang "This is a man's world" by James Brown. Best performance of the season for him.
Jessica sang "And I am telling you" by Jennifer Holliday. Amazing performance.
Jessica won round 2 as well with Joshua a close second.
I don't know if there'll be a bottom 2 but with the contestants that are left and after tonight's performances and critiques, I expect Hollie to go home tomorrow. :(
