Megan Corkrey “For Once In Your Life” (Studio)
Anoop Desai “Ooh Baby Baby” (Studio)
Michael Sarver “Ain’t To Proud To Beg” (Studio)
Lil Rounds “Heatwave” (Studio)
Adam Lambert “Tracks Of My Tears” (Studio)
Danny Gokey “Get Ready” (Studio)
Allison Iraheta “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” (Studio)
adam and danny did a great job as well as allison..meagans was ok..but i can’t stand her voice..still
Allison and Megan, great in the studio as usual.
Jeez, you’re right Slim. nothing good this time :dizzy:
Good way to garontee karoke making sing to the original tracks…
I didn’t like any of the studio recordings this week either, but I might have a different reason for it than Slim. :sad:
I feel like they just took their vocals and pasted them along with the melody, which for some of them, the transition didn’t work well at all. Megan’s came out much better than expected, imo, but I felt like it, along with the others, was too “cut and paste” to get into. Would have been better to do an improvisational melody with each than having them sing to the original track. I’m sure the powers that be meant well, but I don’t think it was a good choice.
I actually didn’t like any of the studio versions at all
Megan sounded great in studio. Very jazzy and fun. I listened to it a couple times. She seems so relaxed and carefree, but the pressure on stage must really get to her. She was terrible this week, I hope she can turn it around. Oh, and Lil, Danny, who’s that? Weren’t they voted off already?
The guys, in my opinion, are by far the best this year. As good as Allison is, I would never buy her music. Or Lil’s. I think I could by Megan’s music, simply because she is so unique.
As far as the guys go, I could see myself buying Danny’s, Matt’s, Kris’ and maybe Anoop’s CD’s. DEFINITELY Danny and Matt’s, though ! :heart:
Oh… and LOVED Matt!!! But the heart emotes are only for :heart: Danny :heart:
Haven’t listened to Michael, Anoop, or Scott. Don’t really have the desire to. Maybe later. Right now, LIFE calls. And I don’t have an answering machine.
Kris – good on the voice and all. Love the Justin. But the track really sucks. Very Partridge family. Listen to Tracy on that tambourine!!!! Watch Mom & Lori bob their heads up and down.
I think I’m over Lil. Unless she does a blow-me-away song in the next couple weeks, she’s been replaced by Allison.
[quote comment="56335"][quote comment="56332"]I will admit fully to actually liking Adam’s studio this week. About 2/3 into it he loses me for a bit with that high-pitched crap. I would put it on my mp-3 player, but when it got to that part it would irritate me and I’d forward to the next song, but at the gym I don’t always have my hands free, so I’d get ticked, then I’d have to yell at or hurt someone or myself, and we can’t have that, so it’s not getting downloaded by me.

That is such my kind of reasoning! you are sooo funny!![/quote]
Welcome to my brain and it’s thought process. :cool:
I kinda like Megan’s studio more than her live version. Her quirky kinda worked in this song. I’m so wishy-washy on that girl. It really depends on the song for me with her. Dawg.

Allison did lose a little of her “edge” in the studio. I think she held back. Still like it, but it didn’t blow me away like it did live.
[quote comment="56304"]I like Danny, but didn’t like him live last night or in the studio today. Not this song.
Lil is just plain shouting, I have almost got a headache now. Thank you very much.[/quote]
Crab-Beeeeeee!!!! :wink:

I have to laugh because I read the word “shouty” totally in a Simon accent without even thinking about it first. He says that so much that it just came to me that way!
I grew us cruising Whittier Blvd. and Matt’s version of “Let’s Get It On” and Anoop’s rendition of :Oh Baby, Baby” just took me back to my oldies but goodies cruising music roots.
Wow… I just heard Megan’s studio version and I thought it was MUCH better than the live version… Okay, it still wasn’t perfect but at least I can see what she was trying to attempt…lol
HATED the backup singers and the loooong harmonica solo though…

[quote comment="56315"]Using changed and/or forgotten lyrics as example, what bugs me about SOME “superfans” is that if their favorite does it, it’s okally dokally. The minute someone they HATE (or who is a threat to their fave) do it the superfans suddenly become music purists. Then, if their favorite chooses an arrangement which they’ve never heard before, their fave walks on water and can do no wrong. The list goes on.
I admit to knowing nothing technical about music. I like what I like to hear/sing along with/dance around the room to and that’s that. Changed lyric? I really could not care less. Forgotten word or two or three or four? Same.
I have my favorites every year, but I can admit when I don’t like what I hear. Heck, even **I** didn’t like Taylor singing “Take Me Home Country Road!” lol
Anyway, there are always double standards when it comes to Idol. It’s the norm. Still, it bugs the heck out of me.
Now..I’m ready for next week! :smile:[/quote]
You hit the nail on the head. Well said, Angie.

I was reading some comments on another site and tons of people are just RAVING over him changing the lyrics to “somebody else” instead of “another girl.” I say, big deal.[/quote]
But why was it made such a big deal when David A. changed the lyrics to one of his songs last season ?[/quote]
Exactly![/quote]
They do sex changes with the lyrics all the time. Also I assume they are raving because they see that as him acknol his sexual orientation

Are you talking about when David mashed 2 songs together without clarance or when he forgot the lyrics?

Megan was most improved while Danny and Lil were second most. I love Scott but Motown is not one of his forte’s. Would buy them all but I can tape them.
I like Danny, but didn’t like him live last night or in the studio today. Not this song.
Lil is just plain shouting, I have almost got a headache now. Thank you very much.

I didn’t even pick up on that. Didn’t even notice it!
I definitely liked Allison better live than this studio. However, like I said last week, I think this girl is just made to record! There are some really great moments here, just not my favorite of all her studios.
LOVE Danny! :wub: :heart: This is a definite download for me. (Duh, right?)
I loved him live and love him in studio. :heart:
Adam….um…well, another case of liking the studio better than the live. His SOFT high stuff is nice but the second he starts trying to bring the louder high notes it enters the screech/scream territory (to my ears) and it loses me. Overall, this is good, though. I won’t be downloading.

Gokay – NOkay
Lil is not a favorite of mine, but she did an OK job. Sounds a tad shouty or just LOUD to me, but I liked it better than her live version. Won’t be downloading this one.
Thanks as always, Slim for posting these. I REALLY REALLY look forward to these evey week ! :smile:
Michael is really good! He wasn’t really a favorite of mine, but this studio version sounds great. Compared to his live version, anyway. I guess he’s lacking some soul in his voice when it comes down to it. That’s coming from a non-musical person who loves music so it’s not worth much at all. :)
And Danny, Danny, Danny. :wub:
Still my absolute FAVORITE ! :heart:
STILL don’t care for Adam no matter what he sings. Period. :pouty:
Love Matt’s ! He definitely is one of my favorites STILL. :heart:
Anoop is just a’ight dawg. I wish he would sing something up-tempo that really shows his voice. Not sure I will be downloading this one.
You guys know I like Megan. I like it a lot and think she did an even better job with this in studio.
I’m glad she stayed and I hope she stays over Scott.
Oh my. Scott’s is just not good to me at all. Not my cup of tea.
Hmm, I think I liked Adam’s live version better than the studio. The backups are a little too much in the studio.
I think Matt’s might have been better live also, but I do love it. AND I love the original as well!
I really like Kris’s studio – didn’t like it live at all. I’m weird like that :cool:
While Kris continues to be one of my top favorites on the show, I don’t think this studio version does him any justice at all. His live version was wonderful and this lacks something. Also, the backup singers are too much on this track. ugh.
:heart: Matt! Very, very nice.
Someone in the shoutbox last night was questioning how we could possibly have liked Matt’s version of this song if we’d heard the original. Come on! Of course I’ve heard the original and I love it. But I am capable of liking others’ takes on songs. This is an example.
I think I may have like the live version a smidge better, but this is being downloaded for sure!
