I don\u2019t often remember to turn the TV on for American Idol \u2013 I think Chris Daughtry is pretty exciting, and certainly charismatic, and I caught Elliot Yasmin (who looks a lot better with his hair growing out) doing \u201cTeach Me Tonight\u201d last week, and he was pretty dang impressive on so difficult a song.<\/p>\n

Yasmin seems to make a habit of choosing very tough, very sophisticated tunes, though. Someone clued me in to this performance of Moody\u2019s Mood for Love<\/a>. Again \u2013 awfully good. His voice and phrasing remind me a lot of Al Jarreau.<\/p>\n

From what I\u2019ve seen it\u2019s down to Mandisa, Chris Daughtry and Elliot. They\u2019re all really talented in their genres and they seem to be the most charismatic, most comfortable performers (there is nothing worse than a performer who looks like he or she is relieved that their turn to sing is over \u2013 hello Katharine and Ace \u2013 they should look like they\u2019re sorry to have to stop!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think I\u2019m starting to like Elliot the best \u2013 he\u2019s edging out Chris, just a little \u2013 mostly because he seems to have something original about him \u2013 and his musical sensibilities \u2013 the jazzy bit \u2013 that\u2019s kind of nicely different for AI.<\/p>\n
