Rock Week
I'm up to Rock Week in season 8 and it is both my favorite and most frustrating episode.
Danny and Kris are the reasons why it is so frustrating to watch. They just finished their duet and it's not that it was bad, but it wasn't a duet. And it clearly was the wrong song for them. To me, it feel more like they're both on stage performing at the same time instead of a duet.
To me, the true duet is Adam and Allison. They really worked together and interacted on stage. They were singing together instead of at the same time. They connected and it shows in their performance. It helps that it is rock week.
Of course Adam getting to start the show was perfect for this week. Simon was right, nobody could top that performance. And I think that's what Danny and Kris were thinking going into the week, as evident by their performances. It's not that Kris was bad, but it just felt like he was trying instead of being the artist he had been all season.
And then there's Danny. I would like to know why no one stopped him from doing "Dream On." Adam is the only person who could have done those "Dream on"s at the end. Even Allison would have been pushing it. And how the fuck did Danny get through on that?! I still don't understand that. But he must have had enough of a fanbase to vote for him no matter what. And I still think there was a lot of overlap between Adam and Allison fans and it went harder for Adam that week, deservedly so.
