So Hollywood week has begun, Ellen's arrived as judge and was the bomb (so much better than on her talk show*) and 23-year contestant Andrew Garcia's going to win the shebang.

I just don't see how things can pan out any other way after his kickbutt rendition of Paula Abdul's Straight Up.

He took the competition to a completely different level from everyone else: the way he remixed and arranged the track, the tone of his voice, the sincerity and clarity and generally-cool of his attitude - everything about him was superbo.

His performance:



Others I liked/like (if they keep it up):

mike_final
Big Mike

Not because of his I'm-having-a-baby-on-stage storyline but because of his voice and performance specifically.

Lilly

Worried that that Tina Turner wig of hers could be a prob. though.


jeff_final
Jeff

You may not remember him - he was tucked away in that rubbish group in Part 2 of the show. The group with the chick who thought she was so special 'cos she made Hollywood week last season too - the one all wounded in the background of the pic.

Jeff stood out from the rest of them bigtime - has husky, different, yet Neil Diamond sort of voice.

Most Whack

Didi

The chick with the "I could con you that I'm good when I'm not " factor.

When she uttered her opening notes I thought she has potential, until I realised that she's just a mix of a bunch of different singers and not enough of anything specific - or herself.

It's like she sings as a combo of every country and pop guitar-playing singer you can think of, without delivering anything of herself.

-----

*I enjoy Ellen's shows but often feel she's too gushy and not snarky enough, spesh with celeb types.

I still miss Paula, can't belive the guy who went to juvenile prison did not make, he was my favourite, they should have given him another chance.
