Haley making a comeback

So, it's British Invasion week - not really sure what to expect. I'm not really familiar with Lulu or Peter Noone, so I'm neither dreading nor looking forward to these performances. It would be great to hear some Beatles music - I had heard that they might have the rights to some songs, but who knows how true that is? If they did get the rights to some Beatles music, then you would think they'd have a week completely dedicated to that.

So looks like Lulu will be working with the girls and Peter Noone with the guys. they showed a clip of Lulu singing and wow, what a great voice she has - I may have to check out her music on iTunes tonight after work - never really heard her stuff before. (I know this is leaving me open to attack in the comments section, but so be it - like I've mentioned before, I like what I like, and until tonight, Lulu was not on the list.)

Haley Scarnato goes first - she plans to sing "Tell Him," by Billy Davis. Lulu gives her some advice on how to approach the song and really has some nice things to say about Haley - she probably really helped in Haley's confidence, because she tells her that there's been so much said about big voices, but that there's a place for everybody and that Haley has her own sound and that she, too, has a place in the competition, and that she should be proud and grounded in who she is. I hope Haley listens to her advice and brings some confidence to her performance tonight.

How cute - she comes out in hot pants and a halter top with her all done looking like from the 60s - very nice ... but did anyone get a look at her shoes? I'm in love - I can't stop looking at them!! I have to find out where she got them.

Anyway, back to her singing. I think she sounds great - better than previous weeks - I think this was a great song for her - there wasn't the pressure to sing the big notes or to blow anybody away - she seemed to just want to enjoy the song and sing it the way it was meant to be sung - nothing extravagant or crazy - just a sweet melody with a nice chorus. I really enjoyed it - I hope the judges liked the simplicity of it too.

Randy tells her it was the perfect song for her and that she's back in the competition. Paula says she's adorable and that it was great. Simon's first comment - "You naughty little thing." He then tells her it was fun and young, but that she got a little shrieky in the middle. He then tells her that people will be talking about a lot more than her singing - what a pervert he is.
