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

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love Kyrie, even though it makes no sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was jut having that conversation recently! But why? And with whom? Hmm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

Before yesterday's show, I thought that it would be Backbeats or the frat boys who would be out next, but Groove for Thought's "Changes" was so weak that there was no chance anyone else would have gone home. Also, they were suffering from the fact that, as pretty as their jazzy Mannhattan Transferesque styling was, it was getting a bit old. I'm having the same thought about Jerry Lawson and Talk of the Town--they're fabulous in that style, but they have to do something else tomorrow.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Jerry Lawson's group. Every performance feels the same to me now. I still have no clue why Easy would be a guilty pleasure. My fear is that the judges will pass them on to the finale just because they have so much respect for him though.
I'm really torn between wanting Committed or Street Corner Symphony to win.
