Tonight was the "Big Band" night and this could have been horrific.   After all, what is interesting about Big Band music done by today's performers who don't know about the genre?    This could have been awful. The performers were taking regular songs and using a live orchestra behind them to give them a kick ass musical backdrop.    It was simply amazing and so full of energy that canned music cannot reproduce! It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.... well, I've seen the first three performers.... Drum Roll - Here's My Take on Big Band Week Alex & Sierra Now it is time to try not to hurl.   I can't stand these two.    They've been particularly awful these past few weeks - they sound horrible - they look like a caricature of young love - she's a hippie - he's a gonad-less metrosexual asswipe.    There is nothing that they represent that I like.   And their sound is dangerous to one's hearing. And now the performance.... good grief - they are dedicating the performance back to each other ... vomit ... he is dressed in a suit and looks like Gomez Adams and she looks like a red version of Morticia with long hair that looks like it came from a cocker spaniel.     The performance was pitchy and irritating - it was the hearing equivalent of having a tick under your skin - itchy and irritating.   She has a face that looks like a standard poodle.    These two would be perfect for a Vegas act where you only puke up a buffet - at least you can go back for seconds after puking the first course. The singing is over and the cats are no longer yowling. Carlito Olivero He is only on the show because of his latino appeal - one of the least talented performers on the stage.   Tonight he whored his latino roots and pandered with spanish and english words - unfortunately the background music was better than his vocals.    Weakest performance tonight.   Why is it if you are part latino you have to exploit?   This is not Mexico.   Yet, all things considered, it was his best performance, but that would like saying the newest AMC Gremlin off the line was the best of the bunch.    Minutes later, it started to disintegrate and that was no longer true. Ellona Santiago Last week this performer looked like a cheap Chinese hooker.  She was awful.   Is it possible that she could be worse - it wouldn't take much to be better.... and then she followed it up with another awful week.   She's on the bubble - very limited talent and questionable makeup application.   She needs to tone down the paint job on her eyelids - she looks like Earl Scheib's did the work with paint left over from some drag queen float. Well - she looks like some oriental tramp in a white hat and outfit - once again ethnic caricature on display - looks like a dimestore pinoy slut - red lipstick looks like something you'd see in a porn movie.    Her singing is shrieky and screaming - egads - now the suit and hat are off - she does now revert back to hooker look - long bare legs and gold glittery showgirl costume.    Well, at least she looks like she sounds.    She'll be going home along with the hispanic caricature, Carlito. Jeff Gutt His best performance ever.   He is a dark horse. Josh Levi This could be tough - watching the background tape on this kid - he is a nice guy but really not much of a performer - average voice - absolutely no stage presence. And now the performance - well the good night ended - he is trying to be Michael Jackson in a suit.   I don't care for him and his weak vocal is really showing up - he really can't sing well - trying to sound like a stereotypical black performer with the extra runs and mannerisms.    At least the pants fit and weren't around his testicles.   All things considered it was his best performance to date which is at least keeping this show way above the past two weeks of awful performances. Lille McCloud I like her - I hope she does well tonight... Awkward vocal performance - sounds caricaturish - very nasal quality to it - not one of my favorite performances of hers.   She might be in danger with that. Restless Road I love these guys - they are so hot looking, and I love their personalities - but lately they've lost that something special - they haven't been themselves in a while now - three weeks or so.    And when I heard it was big band week, I knew this was going to be a fourth week of yuck. Well, these guys are back - omg - they were dressed in suits - one in tie, one in bowtie - one with the shirt open - and the song was from Rascal Flatts - not quite as good as the original, but these guys are so baccccccck - they were energetic - they were themselves - they had fun - they had their interplay back - they functioned as one.   Truly one of their best performances to date.   They just got their mojo back - they picked this song and dedicated it to Andrew's uncle.    Rion Paige She started off the night - while I thought it was a bit high school musical, she nailed it and it was fun.   There is an energy tonight.   Love it!  Overall Analysis Great night - two very weak acts in Ellona and Carlito.   Overall one of the best shows on X-Factor. They added a group song at the end where each act gets a part - this could be a trainwreck - I wonder how the low acts that I picked this week will do - could the syrup duo of Gomez and Morticia stink up the joint like they did in their singular act? Gomez really sucked - Morticia was less bad - Faux Michael Jackson was awful.   Even Carlito was almost good and the asian hooker was okay.
