Re-Entry of Hicks.
I came this close to not voting at all.
Halfway through, as I scarfed down my Popeye's, I thought; this has gotten dull. Chris is going to win; I'm resigning as a voter.
(incidentally, I also have altered my opinion of the McPhee; she's not so bad. She's not so good, either)
But the Hicks' version of "Something" (which I recently read was Sinatra's favorite love song of all time, no seriously) was a great performance; great phrasing! Tasteful melisma! Fingers crossed that, whatever happens, the guy will cut a great record. He's got it in him, for sure.
