Loving all of that crap really is my (not so) secret shame.

I am sorry Groove For Thought went home, but "Changes" really isn't a hard rock song, and I think that counted against them.

I think that losing the words and going off key was what killed them, although I didn't like their song. It was the first time I'd seen the show, but the two songs I saw were very jazzy. I understand that they have their style, but they need to be able to adapt to the challenge. But, again, I'm a first timer.

I liked Committed a lot, loved both of their songs. I thought that their first critique was really harsh, but if they'd knocked it out of the park before, I can see how this was just "good".

As with Jesse, I loved all of the "guilty pleasure" songs. "Kyrie" was amazing. Made me want to pull out my Mr. Mister LPs. I would have no where to play them, but I could get them out.

I'm pretty sure I had the 45 of "Kyrie," Vortex. Sniffle.

I may have downloaded "Kyrie", "Is This Love", and "Broken Wings".

I love Kyrie, even though it makes no sense.

I was jut having that conversation recently! But why? And with whom? Hmm.

Yeah, as cute as she was, the girl singing lead for Groove for Thought really did botch. We've done that song with our band, and I will say that a) there are a lot of words there, so I know it's a tough one, but it's one you chose, and b) that's a jazz song structurally for sures, so it doesn't surprise me that they chose it, and they could have rocked it out, but they didn't.

As I mentioned, I missed last Wednesday's show because I'm an idiot, so I missed the elims. I wasn't surprised to see the high schoolers gone, but what did the Whiffenpoufs do that sent them packing?

They were good Liese. But that whole bracket was good (Streetcorner Symphony, Committed, Groove for Thought and The Whiffenpoufs). Groove for Thought was phenomenal last week with Cooler Than Me. I hated the brackets and were glad they were done with them last night.

The Backbeats have been wearing on my over the show's run, but I really loved their "Love Shack." It was fun, peppy, and the costumes and choreography were perfect.

Oh, right. Out of that bracket they would have been the weakest. That also explains why the frat boys are still around.
 
Backbeats are too constructed for me, too deliberate. I wouldn`t mind liking them because they`re cute, but it`s too. I dunno, purposeful or something. It`s why Love Shack worked for them, I think, because that band has the same sort of staged drama as them. But the SO pointed out that the vocals on the original were just so BIG that they couldn`t really compete.
