Ace Young - "Drops of Jupiter" by Train - This performance was better than last week. But, I have to say, Ace is still not bringing it vocally. His problems--weak, out of tune vocals (I hated the way he was warbling around on syllables like "hair" and "there" rather than actually singing them) could probably be mostly fixed in the studio, but are exposed on the big Idol stage. However, Ace's attractive vulnerability could be molded into radio-friendly pop, with a little help from Pro Tools. Randy, the judge who praised Ace for having "the best voice so far" in his Denver audition, didn't like the vocal. Simon said it was "karaoke". When Ace actually pointed to his scar when he sang the word "scar", it made me giggle. But no, I didn't need to see it. Ace could be in the bottom three again this week, but I can't see him going yet. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
