They were all good performances tonight. I'll even give JD his due. I think he's going home tomorrow, but he was alright tonight. His problem is the everyone else was spectacular. They had horns and a string section, along with a church choir backing them up tonight. The choir wasn't miced very well, so I didn't hear them as well as I should have, but it was a good show tonight.

The clinic this week was for each person to lay down a track for a new, unreleased INXS song. Each went to the studio and recorded their version of it. JD slept while Marty practiced. Jordis got dinged for "interpreting" the song because she misunderstood the instructions. Suzie got high praise for her job.

JD was terrible and blew the words. They asked him about it and his answer was that he wanted them to tell him what to do, not come in with his own version of it. My BS filter got plugged and I had to clean it out after that answer. They are setting him up to be the dramatic loser. He plays that part so well.

Ty went first and did a solid job on You Can't Always Get What You Want by the Rolling Stones. I love old rock and roll, but he didn't move me like the others did. Good, solid job, but he needs better at this point.

JD sings Elvis. Think about that for a while. Suspicious Minds. He was an Elvis impersonator in the past and wanted to shed that memory by singing it his own way. He was over the top, in his own way this time. The girls liked it I guess, but he's going home tomorrow night after this one.

Marty needed to sing an old, classic, calmer song to show his versatility, so he did Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd. He just stood there and sang the song. It was perfect. He cried at the end, it was so moving. It gave me chills to watch him. There was no screaming, no crazy director guy, none of that. It was emotional, heartfelt, amazing. I hate to use the word awesome so much, but this one really was. Marty is back. His comment at the end was that singing in front of the house band, string section, horns, and a choir, was "the greatest moment of my life". INXS said it was smooth, at ease, softer, less is more. I agree.

Jordis sang Imagine, by John Lennon. It was another one that gave me chills. She tried to play the guitar, but mostly sat there and sang. That's all she had to do though. Her voice is beautiful and her delivery was perfect tonight. Brought a little of her own style to it, but basically nailed it. Comment afterward was that it was hard not to cry listening to her.

Mig needed a bad boy song and got Live And Let Die, by Paul McCartney. He ripped it up and gave it all he had. I liked it. It was fun to watch. He wasn't technically perfect, but did a great job anyway. It was really good. INXS criticized him for singing over the instrumentals. I liked it, but I don't think it's good enough to keep him out of the bottom three. Sorry, man.

Suzie finished the show with Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. This is a song that you can make you or break you. It's a difficult to sing. Slow soft stuff, hard rock, then more soft stuff. She gave me chills. I laughed out loud. It made me happy to watch her sing this one. She was right on the whole way. She got every part of it right on. INXS said that this was the best performance of the whole season so far and I have to agree. One of them said he was proud to know that she wanted to sing for INXS. High praise, but I think well deserved. I'd pay money to see her sing.

The initial bottom three were JD (of course), TY, and Marty. I think that Mig will replace Marty in the final count. I predict that JD will finally go home, the sun will shine, birds will sing and all the people of earth will be free again, if only because they don't have to listen to JD any more.
