I think it's boring and lame. And I also call B.S. on her getting to say what she would sing next week. I don't remember anyone else being able to do that. She's a producer's pet, though, and I guess they're worried that they couldn't save her if people didn't like her song choice and she came in at the bottom.

She might be the producer's pet, and I think she is, I am not sure that an album of a celine or whitney or mariah wanna be would be a top seller.

Thia was alright but nothing spectacular...

Casey singing Your Song.

So, Casey cutting his hair and trimming the beard. Looks MUCH better.

Didn't Bernie write "Daniel" about a war veteran?

Back with another favorite Elton song - Funeral for a Friend.

Oh goody. Grizzly Adams in shorts. Someone shoot me. Or him. Preferably him.

I thought she was already in character. It would have sounded strange if she used her regular voice & then went right into the accent.

Re Pia, I suspect that she will sing Mountain High Valley Deep next week in a ballady tempo.

The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin, Elton's writing partner. When Elton wrote the music for it, he chopped off the last verse because he thought the song was already too long. This completely changed the meaning of the song, as the deleted verse explained that "Daniel" was a Vietnam Vet who returned home to the farm after the war, couldn't find peace, and decided to leave America and go to Spain. With the last verse chopped off, it became a fairly vague story of two brothers who part ways.

Yes.

Question: What is the meaning of the song Daniel?
Answer: Daniel is the fictional story of a blinded Vietnam veteran who comes home after the war and everybody wants him to be a hero, but all he wants is to be left alone. So he takes off for Spain to get away from it all. The story is told from the point of view of his younger brother, who misses him and would like him to come back home. It's not a true story, just an account of what crippled Vietnam veterans had to go through when they came home from the war. It is inspired by news coverage of the war that Bernie (Elton's lyricist) watched in the early 70s.

Casey looks so much better. Love him on this. Smart move.

**Satellitegirl** · 03-31-2011, 02:29 AM

Casey did great...and looks great.

**kylet3** · 03-31-2011, 02:29 AM

I MUCH prefer this version of Casey, softer side where he just sings, and does it well. He did a much better job and now im back on his side. Solid

**martian_girl** · 03-31-2011, 02:29 AM

You know, I liked Casey a lot better when he was eccentric. This is just boring.

**rfisher** · 03-31-2011, 02:30 AM

Casey is on prednisone. He's got the look. It can really do a number on someone.

Total change in look and no growling. Somebody did some serious talking to the boy.

**PrincessLeppard** · 03-31-2011, 02:31 AM

Okay, Casey that was nice. But don't bore me next week.

**dbell1** · 03-31-2011, 02:31 AM

I don't get the judges tongue bath.

Steven looks like he escaped from the shire. Where's Frodo?

**BigB08822** · 03-31-2011, 02:33 AM

Is it evil of me to hope Jacob goes hoarse in the next 2 minutes?

**martian_girl** · 03-31-2011, 02:33 AM

How could Jacob possibly get any softer or gentler?

They have to justify their decision to save him last week.

Part of the judges comments relate to his auditions, some of which were brilliant. He really is talented. Unfortunatly, his eccentric stuff is too niche. I'm not certain he's a mainstream artist.

I believe Stefano might be from the shire. Dang, he's short.

i'm not necessarily surprised to find out it isnt but should this be common knowledge to some kid forced to pick it for some outdated theme night?
