Gwen Stefani: Top 10(10-6)

Gwen Stefani tonight, here we go..Lakisha up first with some Donna Summer, "Last Dance", well she has the voice, a good start for the night. I even like the dress, it matches the song. It seems like a safe week for Lakisha, a great vocal for a great song, but no notes that are blowing me away. She played it safe. Judges: Randy, did that like a diva, Paula, did Donna Summer proud, Simon, love the boots, now she's thirty years younger this week, nice to see her doing an uptempo song, great vocal. The "Rockers", Chris Sligh and Gina up next.
Chris Sligh with some Police, "Every Little Thing She Does", rough start for Chris, made it sound okay though, not sure I love the 'mic echo' on him. Seemed a tad karoke to me and his vocal was not on tonight. Judges: Randy, couldn't get into tempo, Paula, staying in the pocket becomes an eyesore, didn't feel the bit, Simon, I thought it was a mess, it was all over the place, didn't feel right. Hopefully for Chris there will be a WORSE performance tonight from another contestant. Gina up next.
Gina, "I'll Stand By You", good start for her, she looks great, nice job slowing it down this week, she's singing with some emotion tonight too, unlike last week when she was screaming with emotion. Nice close. Judges: Randy, one of her best performances ever, Paula, improving each week, great song choice, best performance so far, Simon, wasn't one of her best performances, was her BEST performance. It's all about knowing who you are, and the right song choice. Chalk and cheese....at any rate...up next, Sanjaya.
Sanjaya is nervous in front of Gwen, singing some "Bathwater", Sanjaya, hey man, the VO5 people will be thrilled, liked the hair! Vocal start was a little rough, he then started bobbing his head and the vocal got better(I think)...I don't get it. Judges: Randy, hairdo is interesting, you can sing you just need to put it out there, Paula, didn't do it, Simon, I presume there was no mirror in your dressing room tonight, doesn't matter what we say anymore, your in your own universe and if people like you, good luck. Haley up next.
Haley, "True Colors", good start, any girl looks good in a black dress, sounds much sweeter this week, she has incredible stage presence this week, more than last week. Nice little ride at the end vocally..Wow...Judges: Randy, was alright for him. Paula, one of those songs, requires nothing but singing the melody, didn't stay younger, Simon, it was sweet but forgettable, nothing to remember, too safe. Phil and Melinda next...
