Questions to think about:

rkwo for all Pulse users, and
rjkwo for all M4B users.

Have a great week, voting will end on thursday night.

VOTING IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!!!!

Just incase, here is who's left.

[Matt4319]

If this is called Pulse Superstar Idol, then why are people on M4B participating? ??? Sorry, just curious.

[No Brake$]

anyone can vote, majority of voters and the establishment of the competition comes from Pulse.

I agree with Matt here. There should be a separate one for M4B.

[Ragin]

ummm, this was pretty fun, but those performances weren't realistic at all.

I hate Celine, but she'd do fabulous singing Unbreak My Heart, and likewise there is no way I can imagine Sarah doing a decent job on Bright Lights, it just doesn't fit her voice at all.

Sorry about throwing the criticisms in there, but it had to be said.

[No Brake$]

all i need is recommendations , and everything would be fine, I mean come on, I'm not getting any input at all lately on recommendations. I need some ideas.

I disagree. Unbreak My Heart is exceptionally rangy especially in the lower registers and only a true contralto could get into those lower registers and Celine's forte is her higher registers, not lower. When you break it down, Toni has the bigger voice although Celine's is more versatile.

Well I'll try to chime in next time.

[No Brake$]

Okay, here are the two groups, one of the groups is safe, and the other, three out of the four are in the bottom three. Here are the groups:

Group A
Sarah
Amy
Seal
Shirley

Group B
Rob
Celine
Toni
Rivers

All ears for predictions, take it easy

[Ragin]

Man that's tough. Seal, Shirley and Sarah?

[The Music Man]

Group A definetely. I think this is Seal's week to go. Suggestion for the next round: Hits of the 2000s!

BTW I'm bringing back CHR Survivor as soon as there are only 10 songs left on the chart from last game. It'll take forever to wait for JoJo to go, but I'll hold out for Naughty Girl, I Don't Wanna Know, etc.

[Ragin]

Some suggestions for songs.

Rock night. Each must do a rock song from the 70's.

Soundtrack night: Each must do a song from either Footloose or Dirty Dancing, just those two to choose from.

50's night. Each must do a 1950's song.

[No Brake$]

Group B is safe, and yes here are the bottom three:

Seal
Shirley
Amy


Sunday Night we'll reveal who's going home.

If anyone has time, please make a list of all the songs each remaining artist has sung, or any other stats and recommendations you have. Have a great weekend.

[No Brake$]

The final two

Shirley and Amy

[No Brake$]

Say goodbye to Shirley this week, not bad for getting to the final eight. Tomorrow night the other seven's recaps will be up, but I'm looking for themes and recommendations for tomorrow. I'll put them up around 11 or so so just post it. Take it easy.

Again, Shirley has been eliminated.

[No Brake$]

Well, after getting some recommendations from the public, it's time to have a recap of last night's performances. Remember, we are down to only seven, the lowest amount of people performing in the same night so far this whole competition and it's going to just keep getting smaller. Well let's get things started.

This week's theme is with recommendations of going way back, this week, we will be doing the 1960's. Well lets get going to hear the recaps.


Seal- Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye (Steam)
Crowd Rating: 2
Judges Comments:
Randy: Seal, way to kick off such a strange night. You sounded soulful for the first time in a while. You sounded great, yeeeah dog, that's him dog, Seal.
Paula: "Seal, sounds like you started tonight off with a bang"
Simon: "Hmmmm, I have nothing to say. It wasn't great, buti t wasn't necesserily bad. Hopefully you'll escape the weekly cut, you've been awfully close for a while"

Celine Dion- We've Got Tonight (Bob Seger)
Crowd Rating: 4
Judges Comments:
Randy: "Celine, what can I say, for most, it was great, for you it was aight, you added some great vocal to the song, and not bad dog"
Paula: "Beautiful voice, beautiful song, awesome"
Simon: "Celine that was a decent performance if it was 70's night you nimwit. You should remember, you were probably about 30 or so in the 70's. I'm kidding! However, Celine, it was all right, but nothing too remarkable. It was okay"

Rob Thomas- Honky Tonk Woman (Rolling Stones)
Crowd Rating: 3
Judges Comments:
Randy: "Ha ha ha yeeeeah dog, that was some Honky Tonk dog! Yeeeah Dog, great job Rob"
Paula: "Rob, keep that up, and you'll have no problem being here for another month"
Simon: "I thought it was all right. Plenty of energy, plenty of Mick, but not too much of Rob.  I wasn't expecting too much extra added to the song, but maybe something"
Paula: Well isn't it a cover?
Simon: yes, but you just can't copy the song. That's what cover bands are for."

Toni Braxton- Keep Me Hangin' On (Supremes)
Crowd Rating: 6
Judges Comments:
Randy: "Toni, I thought you sounded aight. Wasn't your greatest performance, not so sure about the song selection, not reallly your vocal range"
Paula: "I disagree, I thought it was great"
Simon: "Yes. Toni, not the song for you to sing. It just, that performance didn't do it for me at all. I could go to Karaoke Night down the street and hear the same thing. Good Luck advancing"

Sarah McLachlan- The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Tokens)
Crowd Rating: 7
Judges Comments:
Randy: "Wow.....Sarah, the last song I''d ever expect you to sing.Dog, that just, hmmm, it just wasn't your song dog."
Paula: "Sarah, I love that song, good effort"
Simon: "Sarah, I'll be honest with you. You better pray that you mkae it through this week. You should be feeling the same amount of embarrasement from that perfromance as George Michael had in the bathroom. If that performance was from anyone but Sarah McLachlan, no question they would be gone. Absolutely pathetic."

Amy Lee- Downtown (Petula Clark)
Crowd Rating: 5
Judges Comments:
Randy: "Yeeeah Amy, first time I've heard a sound like this f rom you, and I loved it dog. You know, you may surprise people, may go a little further than expected"
Paula: "Amy, you look so vintage, so great, great work"
Simon: "I think you look like a time traveler threw up on you, but the performance wasn't bad. I think more than anyone you have grown in this competition week by week, but the question is, does the rest of the voters?"

Rivers Cuomo- Turn! Turn! Turn! (Byrds)
Crowd Rating: 1
Judges Comments:
Randy: <stands up and claps> "All right dog, you finally got it right. I don't know if it will ever happen again. But it's your night Rivers, it's you dog. Yeeeaaaaaah!"
Paula: < tears > "Rivers, one of the most emotional performances I've seen a while, very respectable. Ha, especially the suit"
Simon: "Randy stole my words for once, excellent job Rivers"
