Here's my recap of last night's performances:
Patrick Hall - Technically, he can sing. I just don't like his attitude. He did pretty well, just picked a bad song. Probably makes it to the top 12.
David Radford - His looks will probably carry him further than his voice. During his performance I kept thinking how wrong the song was for him. Like Tony Bennett singing "Stairway to Heaven". Safe for this round.
Bucky Covington - A train wreck would have sounded better. Off-key the entire song. Bye bye, Bucky.
Will Makar - Although I was in the bonus room working on my train layout, I could hear that the den downstairs was dead silent when he came on. All three girls at my house are in love with Bobby Brady. He was pretty good. Safe for this round.
Sway Penala - I just didn't get it. He sang falsetto the whole time. Trying to sound like Phillip Bailey ain't easy, and Sway proved it. He hit one really high note towards the end, and that saved him for another round.
Kevin Covais - He's got a good voice, but someone in our household can't bear to watch him sing. Sort of like Simon was with Clay a couple of years ago. The female geriatric vote should keep him safe for at least another week.
Chris Daughtry - One of the best, definitely makes it through to the top 12. Good stage presence, strong voice. Book it.
Gedeon McKinney - Very good voice. Needs to tone down the confidence just a wee bit. Sounds like a television evangelist when he talks.
Bobby Bennett - Of all the Barry Manilow songs out there, he promised his grandmother he'd sing "Copa Cabana"??????? Bobby, meet Bucky. Hey, here's an idea! You two should share a cab to the airport, save a little money.
Elliott Yamin - Another one of the best. Great voice, very comfortable on stage. He's in the top 12.
Ace Young - Couldn't believe he picked the song he sang, but he nailed it. He'll make it through to the top 12 with ease.
Taylor Hicks - OK, I'm a little prejudiced because he's my favorite. One of my favorite songs of all time, but he didn't do a perfect job on it. He did bring it together starting with the first chorus. Book him for the final 12.
So here's my prediction for the top 6 guys, in no particular order: Ace Young, Chris Daughtry, Elliott Yamin, Taylor Hicks, Patrick Hall, Gedeon McKinney.
So the numbers go from 24 to 20 tonight.....

Yep, you're right...Taylor Hicks rocks! As Dad said "it took Joe Cocker years of acid to move like that guy". We absolutely love him...totally different from anyone out there. I would like to see him and Katherine (the girl with the mom for a vocal coach) as the final 2.
