I have been loving the American Idol season this year, even if I haven't been posting my faves, but I just couldn't skip out on last night's performances. Wow.
First off, the category was THE BEST! Songs of the Rat Pack. What's not to love? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.-- I love the new crooners, too-- gimme some Harry Connick Jr. or Michael Buble. Love them all. Anyone who has been around when my cell phone has gone off will attest to its flavor of ringing. (Hubby's dedicated ring is Mambo Italiano, a Dean Martin classic). With that in mind, I was excited for the performances, but not totally sure how all would do. Well, they all did very well, but here are my top 2.
Danny Gokey was my favorite out of the gate. He lost his wife a few months before auditions and I have a soft spot for emotional guys. Then he sang. That voice is the type that always makes me melt. Love it. Lately I have been a bit disappointed in his performances-- he's been somewhat out of his element. Not last night. If you love that era of movies and dress and schmoozing coupled with a tremendous bluesy feel, you are in for a treat. Come Rain, Come Shine.
(singing starts at :55)
And then there is Adam Lambert. This guy can really sing. He is definitely Elvis-esque, and that is tremendously fun. He has a background in Broadway and is the ultimate performer. This was a fun rendition of Feeling Good. Oh, and that boy has got his swagger on. Big Time. Enjoy!
