usher is the mentor

yeah that springs to mind for me aswell....

i am very disappointed with the lack of talent this year, there are some very likeable characters but nobody can really sing good (in my book anyway)

song 1--chaka's through the fire

chaka's cussing up a storm right now---awful!!

I haven't seen the guys, but from the girls I kind of like Simon's "weird little thing" and the hippie chik

song 2--hold on i'm coming by sam and dave


much better

song 3 india.arie--ready for love.


killed it!

Fury said:

song 6 chris brown-- forever--acoustic version

I felt bad for Siobhan! I LOVE her voice, but she was nervous or something when she sang Chaka. I've never heard her voice crack like that and she looked nervous as hell, PLUS she almost messed up the lyrics but corrected pretty quickly. I KNEW she would sing Chaka when they announced it was r&b week. She's the only one with pipes.

song 7 aretha franklin-chain of fools

young girl showed christina akkalera pipes

Usher is old. sigh.

any huge usher fans here? I'd like to figure out why he loves himself so much.

Fury said:

i wish he would've changed it a bit so it could be from a man's perspective but loved it

JustErin said:

I think the only people that are keeping him in the competition are teenage girls and the people at http://www.votefortheworst.com - Tim is their pick at the moment.

I call him "Flusher", as in flush him down the toilet.

I was impressed with most of the performers, and really impressed with the advice Usher gave each one.
