It's 80's week! Break out the earplugs and please keep all talk in this thread until 1 am, EST. Thanks!

Yeesh! Starting off with DeAndre. If you like him, you'll like this one.

[waywyrd]

I'm embarrassed to say I used to love DeBarge back in high school. This version, not so much...

[Realitychick]

First performance of Deandre that I didn't squirm in my seat through.

[TeacherLady]

I really thought DeAndre did well, it was uptempo and he didn't use falsetto for the whole thing... He has wonderful stage presence. But I fear for him going first.

[AsIs]

I thought DeAndre did well too. I don't like the song, but thought he did well with it.

[Gutmutter]

Elise next... hope she does well. Second spot is pretty forgettable.

[TeacherLady]

I'm excited about the duets. I think adding duets and trios to the performance nights was one of the best things they added last year. Of course, it's partly because they need to fill up 2 hours.

[xmaskat]

I thought DeAndre sounded really good!

[WinkyD]

Not crazy about DeAndre's high voice. Love Frankie Valli and Smokey, but not DeAndre.

And this back-up singer stuff is crap. Let them all sing as was done in much earlier seasons.
