Wicked Game I was thinking of doing that one! I liked both of yours alexi, really great song choices.aff hurry and get that 2nd song up! Tainted Love was awesome. I loved the attitude and snarl you put into the notes. Great as usual Alffy, I LOVED Stone Sour, I've never heard that song before. The making your own backup vocals for your 2nd song was a cool touch - I def think this is the kind of music that's up your alley (wheelhouse? )

SFGP, your Collide was probably your best performance so far. House of the Rising Sun was weaker, but still decent. aff, I'm not sure I can give my vote to someone who only submitted one song, so be sure to get another one in soon. Tainted Love was in no way suited to your voice, but it was still a fun take on the song. alexi, Wicked Game seems like something that might have been an appropriate choice for you, but I've never heard the song before and I honestly found it kinda boring. One of Us wasn't actually the train wreck I expected, but it was rather...weird. Alffy, hearing you do a soft rock song was such a great change of pace. You've stayed poppy throughout most of this competition, and Through Glass is one of the few songs you've done that naturally fit your voice. All the Things She Said, on the other hand, was more in the vein of your past performances, so it didn't stand out quite as much to me. Although the level of work you put into mixing it is quite impressive. trickmind, you should really submit something. You deserve to be in the Final 4 of this thing. |

SFGP - Usually when you go for those "high" notes in songs, I find them to the weakest part of your performance, but you really made them work in Collide. One of the "falls" you hit in the middle there was fantastic. You had a rather mediocre start in the competition, but you have been steadily improving and this was one of your best, if not your best period, idk, I'd have to go back and listen to PoyW. Good job though. For your second song, first off lol @ "You sewed my blue blue jeans". I think I would have preferred this more with music, but it was still pretty good. I told you that I would rip you apart if you ruined this, but you totally didn't. Two strong performances, imo. "Through Glass" by Alffmix - This song was absolutely perfect for you. The ending was totally epic and one of my favorite parts of any performance in this whole competition. This may become my new favorite Alffy performance once I listen to All The Things She Said later, who knows. But this was so hot. k other 4 later Ranking so far: Through the Glass Collide House of the Rising Sun First two are interchangeable, but strong start

Wait someone did a cover of House of the Rising Sun? That was originally done in the 60s by the Animals and is one of my favorite rock anthems of all time! *** People need to come up with new material!! *** not talking about whoever sang this for GTS Idol, I mean the band that remade this song. Grrrr! If anyone remakes Dream On in my lifetime, I'll burn my iPod! |

SfanGP, your vocal technique was pretty superb in those two songs. You can hold those notes and you can hit em! Crazyalexi you didn't sound drunk in One Of Us, that was actually good! Aff I liked what your did with your voice when you wanted to be poignant with certain words. And thanks for the input, judges, really appreciated. Through Glass means a lot to me and I'm so glad I got to sing it. |

Yep! In the 70s Frijid Pink (never heard of 'em till checking wiki :wacko: :lol: ) did a cover of House of the Rising Sun and was their only hit. I think it did better in the U.S. than the Animals version did? Thanks judges! Lol CO I was hoping no one would notice the "she sewed my blue blue jeans" lyric flub :lol: it's supposed to be "she sewed my new blue jeans". Blue jeans are nice and all but blue BLUE jeans are made with a special thread that grants you superpowahs x_x |

Again I think this group skews to wtf choices instead of obvious choices but this week it left me pleasantly surprised for once. SFGP “Collide” : My college roommate used to sing this on his guitar. Good memories ☺ You are a bit off in tempo, but your voice sounds solidly good in this and you are hitting the high notes like never before. This song is supposed to be sweet and soft and make me swoon and not beat you over the head, and you do a great job of that here. You found a good strength in your voice but you’re not overly powerful in the parts that are supposed to be airy as I float on the clouds of swooning. This wasn’t the best you’ve done performance-wise or production-wise, but I think your voice sounds perfect here. There was vulnerability when the song called for it and then you were powerful when you needed to be. SFGP “House of the Rising Sun” : Never heard of this song before and I’m skeptical going in without a backing track, but oh my God! GP! This is fantastic. Are you drunk right now and crooning your life story to me in a sexy way? I think you are. You bring your now trademark vibrato and damn when you go low it sounds good. The whisper on “satisfied” is especially sexy. To be honest, doing this without the backing track was actually the right move because you managed to bring down the house with this. This was the most surprising performance by anyone all season long. Well done. AFF “Tainted Love” I thought you were supposed to do two songs this week. I really didn’t appreciate you saying last week that you didn’t want the save, but whatever, I’m gonna try to be objective. As always, your voice sounds solid and as recent, you manage to show some anger in your lyrics and any time you do it sounds really good. I like to hear you go kind of wild, it sounds great when you do. I thought this was one of your better entries, I could easily see this being directed at some douchey ex-boyfriend. You convinced me, it sounded great, especially at the end when you REALLY let loose. Crazyalexi “Wicked Game” I think we have seen the least growth from you this season. This was good but you are doing what you’ve been told is safe for you to do from week one. Nonetheless, your voice still sounds incredibly sexy and you get through this without any major gaffes. Still, no gaffes isn’t necessarily a great thing. There’s nothing in this that really jumps out at me either. This wasn’t bad by any means but nothing you did was something I want from a future GTS Idol winner. Also be careful with your special effects. I used them last season to sound better but at the end they actually obscure your singing. Crazyalexi “One of Us” The one song I expected to see done that was actually done, yay. I love this song. But Alexi again your vocals are decent, but I don’t feel any badassery or any kind of actual wondering – this song made you THINK and inspired love and hate mail to Joan Osborne. I just don’t think you give a shit whether or not God is one of us and you are so off from the original I wonder if you have ever heard this song besides the chorus. This just sounds too random. Alffmix “Through Glass” : God this sounds so good, I absolutely love the way you can mix hard rocker with soft and sweet, and this song perfectly illustrates that. This was a wonderful song choice for your voice. There’s the soft and higher parts in this where I feel the loneliness and it’s so sweet and then you start rocking and I doubt for a second that of course she is gonna come back to you. I don’t know how many times I’ve said it, but you are the PERFECT (Alff)mix of raw and polished and it’s why you are still in this competition and dominating. Right now you are the threat to win and this is why. Screw AFF for saying people with friends advance in this competition. Yeah, you’re popular on this board, but you’re popular in this competition because you wear your heart on your sleeve in every song <3 Alffmix “All the Things She Said” : I’m nervous. I was in high school when T.a.T.u came out and the copycat “I’m gonna kiss a girl is he looking?” lesbianism ticked me off and I’ve never actually heard this song so let’s see, idk. I like your production early in the song, and your voice sounds good. I’ve always loved your accent and in this song more than any other it’s appropriate than any other, but this song doesn’t give you enough chances to impress us with your voice IMO. Trickmind : I’m extremely disappointed in you. This is a joke to you. You’ve been through anger management. You’ve been through UD getting his lights turned off to send e-mails to your husband. And you go over there and you joke and you laugh? This is serious to alexi, SFGP, and Alffmix. And this should be serious to you. I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you, how dare you? Please vote Alffmix, SFGP, and Crazyalexi to be the final 3. |

Got my votes it. Nice work this week people. Now, I'm going to chime in on how much I hate Trickmind did not submit songs this round. I have not voted Trickmind much but I have voted for her at times. I hate she felt she had to withdraw. So let me get up on a soapbox for a second. That is your warning to stop reading if you are so inclined. But it SUCKS hardcore if things going on outside of this board affect games that are indeed going on within this board. I do not understand why anybody feels the need to threaten, push their way into someone's personal life when they absolutely should not, get friends to help harrass. Any of those things. It's very disappointing to know that goes on. I mean this is a mock-Idol game. Why can't people just sing and submit and if you are not interested you just don't follow this. You don't just ruin it for Trickmind but for everybody else who has listened each round and took the time to get involved, have favorites, judge and vote. It's disrespectful to Kyle and everybody else. And I'm not just talking about UD. Everybody here knows I'm his friend and honestly I hate to have to come down on the opposite side as him. But this is just a shame that his supposed actions have messed with a game on this site. And for anybody else who is also threatening Trickmind with PMs and such, you suck too. Seriously. Maybe I should have posted this in the drama thread and if anybody wants to start debating this more I'll move it there but it's just something that needs to be said. And I'm serious about threats in PMs on this board if they are happening. That needs to stop immediately. |

My votes are going to the two people who I believe have performed the most consistently in this competition. It sucks that we have people not giving it their all in this final stretch when it's most important that you bring out the big guns and really blow us away, but talent deserves to progress, and that's how I'm voting. |
