I definitely need to take a second look at this one. If most of you are like the judges, you are gonna LOVE it. It really was pretty good, and I can’t fault Lukas’ voice or the arrangement. However, even though Lukas is one of my favorites, I found some of his “Jagger-esque” movements so distracting that they prevented me from getting into his performance. But Lukas doesn’t need my approval, as he got it in spades from the judges. Dave tried to fake him out a bit at the start by saying that Lukas was “arrogant - [pause] - and absolutely awesome!” Tommy, yet again making their possible ultimate selection of Lukas seem like a foregone conclusion, said that Lukas was “raising the bar” and that he wanted a seat at it. Gilby and Jason were also highly complimentary, especially praising him for “making the song his own.” Like I said, I really need to take a second look….
