<p>Does anyone remember Melinda Doolittle’s performance of My Funny Valentine? Much better!</p>
<p>I think part of the reason I was disappointed with Matt’s performance was because he made such a big deal that he loves jazz and has been waiting for this night. Saying that, I expected much more… I expected him to blow it out of the water, and he didn’t.</p>
<p>no one has really “hit it outta the park” tonight yet…so Adam is our last hope.</p>
<p>Danny is up doing Come Rain or Come Shine. He is competent but dosen’t blow me out of the water. I wouldn’t download the song.</p>
<p>Danny’s on tonight. Liking it.</p>
<p>Agreed with simon about Allison. Yes, it was on key, but I didn’t feel like she was feeling the song. He was just wrong about Matt.</p>
<p>So, all us “old folks” are dissecting these songs tonight. How can our kids possibly judge them when they’ve NEVER heard these songs before and don’t know what they’re listening to?</p>
<p>I thought he finished strong.</p>
<p>MUCH better than Matt.</p>
<p>He finished stronger than he started.</p>
<p>I really liked Danny’s performance.</p>
<p>I didn’t like Danny. I don’t think he’s anything special. I think Alison was so good tonight that she’s making some of these guys sound “just OK”.</p>

<p>Ha! My 20-year old daughter LOVES these songs. She has competed at our county fair doing both Stormy Weather, and At Last.</p>
<p>my boys both love Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett and are not musically inclined :)</p>
<p>Adam Lambert is wearing a white suit…very scarface!</p>
<p>momof3, I guess it’s the same way I can judge Country songs. I don’t know those songs either, but I either like the vocals or I don’t. I think if our kids can relate to one of these songs hearing it for the first time, that’s good evidence that the singer did well.</p>
<p>I love this music, and my kids definitely know it. Not sure they love it as much as I do, however.</p>

Yeah, sort of like my facination with Billie Holliday, Bessie Smith and Ella Fitzgerald when I was in high school. :)</p>
<p>for those of you who just saw the preview for Glee, show choir is basically how my daughter spent her high school years. They perform a variety of music styles.</p>
<p>He is singing Feeling Good. Good choice for him.</p>
