Melissa Lawson's Our Natural Woman And Third Town Hits the Road Jack

Melissa Lawson and Third Town are our two remaining contestants . . . one will stay and one will go. To be honest, Third Town's presence in this position doesn't really surprise me, but surely this is not our bottom 2. Melissa Lawson was quite frankly, awesome last week. Surely they're manipulating the phrase Bottom 2 . . . just a wee bit. Anyway, as would be expected, Third Town is gonna hit the road.



Probably for the best . . . they were not gonna win this competition. There harmonies were pretty tight, but they just didn't quite gel for this show.

So, now, we have Melissa Lawson. She's gonna make us feel like a Natural Woman.




For the most part she was on target, except those high notes . . . girls got a killer voice, but ain't no need to scream those notes . . . otherwise, she is on target. Hopefully, she'll recover her first week mojo next week.

Overall, a good show. Most everyone improved. Rankings to follow.

What did y'all think?

Shaun Mayer and Third Town Try Not to Develop an Achy Breaky Heart

Next up is Shaun Mayer from some place in Iowa with population 45. From the auditions, this girl looks like she could win. Let’s see what she’s singin . . . doin a country version of “Piece of My Heart” by Janice Joplin. Rut ro, yo . . . she is a wee bit nervous and singing straight through her nose. . . . and a strange arrangement. Not really sure I got this one . . . very nervous feelings seem to cause her to sing Janice Joplin in a chipmunk kind of way . . . She could be in trouble . . . and the judges think so as well.




Trio, Third Town is up next . . . they have a cute little gothy country boy in their group which makes me HEART them prior to hearing them sing . . . singing “Elvira” by Alabama. I kind of love this song. . . reminds me of being a kid. Very good harmony . . . a wee better than the girls who went first. Very, very good song choice and very very good performance. The judges are not with me here . . . they want them to pick a lead singer and a sound . . .
