After all this time and all these recaps, we are finally, finally, down to two. I am so irate at CTV for moving the results show to Wednesday. What, I ask you, could possibly be the purpose of this, other than to make all the loyal viewers mad and confuse any new viewers who might tune in only to the finale? And interfere with my Hanson tickets?
DO NOT JUDGE.
Bryan Adams joins us this week to mentor the contestants. Anne Murray is far more useful, even in her sleep. Thanks for nothing, Bryan! Except the songs, I guess, of which each contestant will be singing two.
After the judges' inane chat with Ben, Drew gets his workshop, during which Bryan says absolutely nothing insightful or helpful.
Sir Ben of Orange introduces a recap of last night (you can read my much more informative one here, though admittedly mine is without video or audio) before the Group Sing.
I'm back! You missed me, all five of you, didn't you? Don't answer that. Big ups to Mandi for filling my shoes for the past two weeks. I'm supremely grateful.
It's Anne Murray time here in Top 4 Land.
Top 10 Things We Learn Tonight:
(1) 2.5 million votes were cast last night.
(2) Drew's high notes are just as amazing the second time around.
Tom Jones! British Invasion! Or UK Hits! Whatever we're calling the theme this year. Tom Jones is orange and stretched.
Mark's singing "Bleeding Love" by... your choice. I guess Leona Lewis, in order to make this a valid choice under the prescribed theme. I like this song, which means I'm not happy Mark is singing it.
The group song this week is The Who's "My Generation." It's not bad, exactly, but it is pretty annoying. Of course, the song itself is annoying no matter who sings it.
The most exciting thing that happens is Sebastian stands on the judges' table and sings "I hope you die before I get old" to Zack. No, I lied.
Will my first real predictions of the season hold up? Can I set a better track record with this Top 10 than any before? Let's see...
But first, let's see that group medley.
Let me just preface this by saying that this episode put me in a bad mood, and I blame Ben Mulroney. I don't know what's up with him this season, but he's extra irritating, instead of the usual annoying-but-he's-ours endearing type of irritating. He's all pause-y and twitchy and stumbly and blinky and... distracted.
Who's it going to be, folks? With a Top 10 consisting of a mere two singers I don't care for, my chances of a happy ending tonight are limited.
