Do It My Way

Harry Connick Jr. and Frank Sinatra! Wow, it can't get any cooler than this. Harry was the guest mentor and he actually was helping the finalists, with good advice. He played the piano for each of the performances and brought his band with him.

Frank Sinatra also known as Ol Blue Eyes or Chairman of the Board. He was the first performer to capture the young (at the time) audience, they were known as the bobby soxers.

Not one of the finalists comes close to the coolness factor of Harry or Frank. But that's what FOX has served up to us. But you all know how I feel about FOX. Anyway here's my observations, from worst to best.

5. Casey James tried to be cool by singing 'Blue Skies'. He wasn't cool and the skies may never be blue again after that performance. But his pink shirt was pretty cool.

4. Aaron Kelly looked like his mother should have put him in the back seat of the mini van rather than let him attempt singing 'Fly Me To The Moon'. In other words: OMG that was awful.

3. Crystal Bowersox singing 'Summer Wind' really sounded more like the dog days of summer. It's probably hard for a girl to sing Frank Sinatra songs, but really I don't think girls can be cool. I shouldn't have expected anything more.

2. Big Mike Lynche proved that the judges were right when they pardoned him a couple weeks ago. 'The Way You Look Tonight' - Mike you look fabulous. He had the Sinatra style and swagger down.

1. Lee DeWyze wowed everyone with his 'That's Life'. He still needs to smile more, but he may have just won the whole contest with this one song.

The show's over and there weren't many surprises, except we know that this year's Idol, whoever it is, will never be in the same class as Frank Sinatra or Harry Connick Jr.

Until Next Week - Wise OUT
