PSI Finals

[No Brake$]

I'm not sure what exactly happened with the old thread, but for some reason it's not accepting any replies. Here is a new thread to take care of that.

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"

Now here are the groups, one is the bottom three:

Group A: Sarah, Toni, Amy

Group B: Rivers, Rob, Seal


Who do you think is leaving?

[The Music Man]

Group A is unsafe...I'm fearing it may be Toni.

[No Brake$]

Well it might become a shocker, but the official bottom three is

Rob
Seal
Rivers


I think this is absolutely insane. But hey, you guys picked it, bottom two updated tomorrow. HGave a good weekend.

[The Music Man]

Oy! Seal and Rivers maybe...but Rob seemed to have a good base...the foundation was none other than ME! LOL...I think it's Seal.

The three I voted for, go figure.

[No Brake$]

Going home this week: Seal

Tomorrow's performances will be "duets".
Looking for all recommedations and suggestions. Have a good night.

[chebingeo]

Are they duetting with another person or with themself?

[No Brake$]

another finalist, or perhaps another "guest person", you decide.

[chebingeo]

I know Celine has done great jobs guest duetting on songs "Everything I Do" and "Can't We Try," but if it's a duet as being solo, then I Finally Found Someone.

[No Brake$]

First of all, the final six




After saying goodbye to Seal last week, we're halfway done with the finalists. This week, the artists we're randomly paired together to sing a duet. So all in all, their are three performances, however, each judge will critique both artists in the duet. Let's get going!

Rob Thomas + Amy Lee-
Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
(Don Henley + Patti Smyth, #1 Oct\92
Crowd Rating: 2
Judges Comments:
Rob
Randy: Rob, finally kickin' it into gear, Amy lookin' beautiful, great job dog!
Paula: Rob, what can I say, what were the voters thinking last week.
Simon Rob, do you deserve to be in the top three, probably, will you make it there? I don't know, the competition was with you to make the Final Three.

Amy
Randy: Yeeeeah dog, tonite is gonna be fun!
Paula: Amy you look great, sound great, I love it
Simon I have nothing to say, it was ok.


Rivers Cuomo + Celine Dion-
Don't Go Breaking My Heart
(Elton John + Kiki Dee, #1, 7\76
Crowd Rating: 1
Judges Comments:
Rivers
Randy: Be thankful that you were with Celine, that sounded great dog, lucky man Rivers, but hey, it works! Yeah dog
Paula: Ha Rivers, I wish you could stay every week, and I think we'll see you again next week.
Simon I hate to say this, but I thought it was just okay. Rivers, you had fun, the performance was good, but I am so sick of you in this competition, a competition where you don't belong. If you survive this week, next you're gone.

Celine
Randy: Dog, You just may have saved Rivers another week, that was good dog, yeaah
Paula: I disagree, it was just a great fun duet
Simon It may have been fun, but I think Celine is one of the main factors, Rivers in the Final Five, is this a joke?


Toni Braxton + Sarah McLachlan- One Sweet Day
(Boyz II Men + Mariah Carey, #1, 10/95)
Crowd Rating: 3
Judges Comments:
Toni
Randy: Toni, I love you, but I just wasn't feelin' it dog
Paula: I thought you sounded great, I mean, it's a duet with two of the best voices in music, great job.
Simon Seal could have done better than either of you, that was pathetic. Rivers has probably been saved by one of you, not Celine.

Sarah
Randy: As I just said Toni, I love both of you ladies, but that just wasn't it tonite, i don't know dog
Paula: Everything I said to Toni
Simon I Completely agree with Randy, good artists, horrible performance. A woman will be leaving this week.

Well there you go. Make sure to send your top three to rkwo! Announcements on Thursday! See ya soon.

It's funny that you've been doing all you can lately to sabotage Toni and Sarah and you've been praising Rivers like "Hey that sucked but it worked man!"

Good thing people aren't voting on performances. ;)

[No Brake$]

TRE, this should take care of your concerns:

Rivers: Underdog, unique, extremely talented, under-appreciated, but yes, does not deserve to be where he is. Weezer really hasn't doen anything extremely well outside of the Alternative Format.

Toni: Good, but extremely washed up.

Sarah: Great, but not that amazing. When's the last time she had a top ten hit, when has she ever had a #1 hit?

Celine: Great voice, probably the srongest of all competetors, but old.

Rob: Probably one of the up and coming legends, the next Phil Collins, but we can't be sure yet. A lot of people like, and a lot of people do NOT like Matchbox Twenty

Amy: Great voice, but is it just because she is so unique to her specified format, alternative? If she was a solo artist I'm not sure where she would be.

If it were realistic odds to who could win:

Celine 2:1
Toni 3:1
Sarah 5:1
Rob 5:1
Amy 25:1
Rivers 500:1

I can't say who looks like they will win, mainly because a lot of artists left have been high or low different weeks, especially Rob and Sara. Celine has been pretty average the whole time in the Top 3, but once #1. Rivers has dodged many bullets, but many people usually put him last in the top three. Amy has been living off a few #1 votes a week, while Rob has been living off of mostly all #2 votes a week.

This week, Rivers was matched with Celine, who the past few weeks, has been #, so who's to say he wouldn't have a good performance. Sarah and Toni together would probably be the worst performance ever if you think about it, and Rob and Amy, well who knows. The artists were picked randomly together. Personally, I was hoping for Rob and Rivers to be together for an interesting duet. Everything would be a lot easier if people could give mroe recommendations.

Anyways, keep up the voting!

[No Brake$]

Here are this week's two groups. One is the bottom three, and one out of the bottom three, of course, is headed home. Quite a surprise this week.

Group A Group B
Rivers Celine
Rob Sarah
Amy Toni


Always enjoying the comments. Take care, and an update will be up by Saturday.

[No Brake$]

Group B is your bottom Three.

[Rumors]

I have not been participating in your contest but I have been following it. I like all the remaining vocalists except Rivers. I like Weezer but Rivers is not an outstanding vocalist. Of course, I hope Rob wins and I do think he may be a legend in the making. Tickets for his charity concert in NYC have been going for about 1,000-1,500 a ticket (first two auctions). That's a sign of some major staying power for a young artist. We'll have to see what his album does.


It's been enjoyable reading your posts.

[No Brake$]

Everything will be updated tomorrow night (wendesday night). I have been sick, and my computer had a virus. So sorry about that, and see you tomorrow. The bottom two is however,

Celine and Toni

[RobM88]

so what the heck happened to this thing?

[Ragin]

I think he got sick or something. I'm wondering the same thing though.
