Wishful thinking? Let's hope not. Despite singing one of my favorite songs, "Everlasting Love," Scott was as dreadful as ever, missing notes here and there and everywhere. It wasn't his worst performance of the competition--there are so many others from which to choose--but it was definitely the worst of the night.
Memo to Anthony Federov: You are NOT Latino. Latin dancing, Marc Anthony, and Jon Secada are all fine interests for a young man to have, but you have taken it too far. That said, you are lucky to have made it this far, but last night you gave a very good performance that should keep you out of the bottom three.
That distinction should be reserved for Scott, Anwar--whose choice to sing "September" as a bass despite both his vocal issues in that range and the fact that the original is much higher didn't make much sense--and Carrie, who continues to deliver technically correct singing with no feeling, no emotion, and movement that suggests that her skin is layered on top of a tough metal skeleton. The fembot routine is not working for me! And for a person as obsessed with lyrics as I am, her comments after her song were a slap in the face--she doesn't know what the song is about, but it's interesting vocally? That explains, well, all of her performances up to now, doesn't it?
Constantine and Bo were both fine--Bo was better--but the spotlight was on Vonzell, who may finally be emerging as a real contender after sort-of-cheating by choosing a 1978 Chaka Khan song that just happened to be covered by her vocalist of choice, Whitney Houston, during the '90s. If Vonzell can outlast Scott, Anthony, and Anwar--who I think will be the next three to go, despite my preference for a Carrie crash--she'll be in fine shape to turn it up a notch for a few weeks and maybe even win this thing.
