Katharine sang “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, and my one year old laid down and pretended to go to sleep. No, I’m not kidding. I didn’t think it was THAT boring, but I still just don’t care for her performance of that song. I think she milks it. Anyway, the judges lapped it up like cream. But what do they know?
And then I got my wish. Taylor sang “Levon”. Woohoo! Maybe the judges were right. Maybe it wasn’t as good as the first time. I just think that they were really surprised the first time about how good he was, and now they’ve raised their standard of what they expect from him. I still thought it was good.
If you liked Katharine’s version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, then I can understand how you’d think that she won that round. But I think it’s Taylor all the way. But you knew that, didn’t you?
Coming up next– the original song.
