I'm starting a bit late in the blogging...so I am going to catch up real fast before I listen to Crystal sing Black Velvet.
Do you remember the big ta-do when it was David vs. David...nothing that fun before or since...just another night of singing really!
Crystal won the toss and was smart and is going second...which really means, she is going last...good job.
Lee's first song was good...can I just say...I am sick of the judges telling the contestants (when they sing more then one song a night) that they better turn things up in the next songs...hello...the songs are already picked, practiced and gonna be performed...it's not like they can say, "hey, I chose to sing 3 ballads...I better speed the next one up so it sounds like I really want to win"...whatever judges, I'm over you! I love Lee...he can do no wrong.
Crystal sings...I hate when the repeat a song...she did great.
Lee's second song..."Everybody hurts"...great song for him. He seems very emotional tonight...Simon calls it nerves....I think he is overwhelmed and emotional...not nervous. I really do LOVE him and he can do no wrong.
Just saw a commercial for SYTYCD and I saw Mia Michaels....hollah!
Crystal with "Black Velvet" and no guitar. Ok...now this girl looks nervous...and want to know why she is nervous...look at those hills and the stairs she is about to walk down. See how she keeps looking at them...she's psyching herself up to get down them without falling on her face. And when she is down the stairs...then the big voice comes....OH AND THE WORDS ON THE TELEPROMPTER....nice kids! This girl really can sing....I think it is gonna be super close my friends...super close!
Lee's final song..."Beautiful Day". What? Like...THE Beautiful Day...they can't write a song for him so they go for a U2 song...interesting...I'm not complaining...I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some U2...but strange. And the beginning was B-A-D. Is Lee cracking under the pressure tonight...you all know my LOVE for him...but it's Bono people...you just shouldn't really touch it. Ok...the ending WAY WAY WAY better...there's Lee...I hope people remember this part of his performance. GREAT second half of the song...ok...I LOVE him again!
Crystal's final song..."Up to the mountain"...(had to wiki it...click on the song and you can read all about it. Written by Patty Griffen...based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech "I've been to the mountaintop"...made current by a live version by Kelly Clarkson. Girl's got some serious talent...
Ok...so based solely on tonight...I say that Crystal has this one in the bag....she did great all night and that final song was perfect. BUT...Lee has been super fantastic the previous weeks...tonight was just not his night...HOWEVER....this night is decided long before the songs are sung....people have decided long before who they will vote for....just a matter of who will get Casey's votes....who do you think?
***props to Crystal on the nice words she had to say to Simon***
Alrighty....leave me who you think will win it all! 20 points for picking the right winner!

I'm sticking with my original pick....Crystal...even though I want Lee to win:)
TT, loved your comments, and I agree - not nearly the fan-fare of the David vs David competition. I wish Lee had done better because I'm really cheering for him. Crystal did amazing on her last song - wow, she has a great voice, and that was a really good song (I have never heard it before). All during their songs I thought the same thing as you mentioned - everyone already has their favorites. I personally think Casey's votes will go to Lee (at least I'm hoping that's the case). So, my vote to win is: LEE
So sorry that I'll miss the festivities tomorrow night!
It's a toss up to me..I think Lee will win, but I'm going to vote for Crystal cause I need to stay consistent. I think if I vote contrary Darren might win and we can't have that!
OK,,,THIS YEAR HAS BEEN DIFFERNT..THE ONLY ENJOYMENT I HAVE HAD IS READING EVERY BODY BLOG..I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS BECAUSE MY PICKS WERE LONG GONE.
BUT I THINK LEE WILL WIN..CASEY VOTES WILL GO TO LEE...
FUN AT PARTY...CLAYMATE
