Celebrity Duets: Week 5

Well this is it, the last chance for all the celebs to give it their best shot. I have to say that Lucy and Alfonzo really delivered!. Lucy sang with Bonnie Tyler one of my all time fave 80's songs "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and she sounded great!.

This song was perfect for her voice she even went as for as to adapt to her duet partners voice and made hers sound more raspy. Now that's talent!. Out of everyone else in this competition Lucy has really held her own in terms of genres. No one else had to do as many as her, Alfonzo sang a lot of ballad/ rock type stuff and Hal has done rock and heavy metal.

None of these genres take the singers out of their comfort zone. So if nothing else Lucy has proven she can really bring it in that department. Her second duet of the night was with Mr. Smokey Robinson (her own choice). The song was "Fly me to the Moon" it was a jazz/blues number, she sounded absolutely great! and looked so relaxed.

Tonight was the first night I noticed how much Lucy has improved over the past 5 weeks, she was no longer worried about the song so much and just went out there and had fun. She looked great as always but this time, it wasn't just that. This time she also sang great in both duets.

I've read a lot of comments on message boards where people kept saying Lucy was only getting through because of her looks and so on, well I hope tonight proves to them all that they were sorely mistaken!. I won't really say who I want to win as long as it is not Hal I'll be happy (of course I would be ecstatic if it's Lucy:D).

But Alfonzo has done a great job and if he wins I'm good with that too. He has an amazing voice. As for the judges well Marie finally paid Lucy a complement in her second performance without any critique attached to it, that was great to hear. She did say something in her first performance about Lucy fading out on certain words or not breathing hard enough or something along those lines but she still thought it was great.

Little Richard actually made sense tonight! in most of his comments, miracles do happen lol. Not that it has ever really mattered what the heck the judges say on this show it's all about the fans or fandoms. Basically it's now left up to the fans to decide who wins. And well the Xenaverse has always been really good at voting someone to the top spot:D.

Lucy's husband Rob and pal Renee O'Connor were supposedly in the audience tonight but I did not see them, probably just blind. Will have to look back at the tape. I'm hoping they all show up tomorrow especially since it is live unlike tonight. Can't wait to see what surprises await tomorrow aside from announcing the winner that is.
