Tonight is Frank Sinatra songs, as arranged by Harry Connick, Jr.
Aaron Kelly: “Fly Me to the Moon”
It was okay, I suppose. He looked a little different. Maybe they went overboard on the makeup tonight. He is trying to look the part, but it doesn’t quite work.
Conclusion: Not Frank Sinatra-y
Casey James: “Blue Skies”
He’s a good singer and a good performer, but this is just not his style. That’s two weeks in a row now that I’ve said that about Casey. Not a good sign.
What is that? Is his hair in a bun?
Casey’s voice is better suited to Frank Sinatra songs than Aaron’s. I thought he had a better stage presence than Aaron too, but for some reason the judges didn’t agree. I did think that he didn’t hit the high notes very well.
Conclusion: Not Frank Sinatra-y
Crystal Bowersox: “Summer Wind”
Very professional, although she almost didn’t make it to the mic on time. Didn’t move around the stage a lot, but she didn’t need to.
Conclusion: Somewhat Frank Sinatra-y, if he were female
Michael Lynche: “The Way You Look Tonight”
He is the first one who looks the part. Although his hat might be a bit small. But it worked.
And he sounded good. And he worked the stage.
Conclusion: Frank Sinatra-y
Lee DeWyze: “That’s Life”
Lee looks the part too, and he sounds even better than Mike. Lee always looks like he just got out of bed.
Conclusion: Frank Sinatra-y
Who’s going home: Harry Connick Jr.
My Favorite: Lee
I don’t know who’s getting voted off, but I’ll put a guess out there for the bottom two: Casey and Aaron.
Normally I’d recommend reading BooMama‘s re-cap of AI, but since she didn’t do one this week, I won’t. I’ll still recommend the rest of her blog though.
