Just before I started watching tonight's show I was pointed in the direction of an interesting theory. Is the show a scam, a big production so that the chosen singer (Mig) gets as much publicity as possible? Given the ratings, if this theory is true, it hasn't exactly been a rousing success. I tend to discount it although Mig is a very strong performer. Of course there is the fact that he is an Aussie (like the band) but I'm not entirely conviced that this is true. Perhaps when it is down to a few more contestants I'll be swayed.

Tonight's Performances
Suzie:  "Losing My Religion" (J.D. helped with the arrangement, better than usual)
Mig: "All Right Now" (nails it as usual, the band advises him to take on a ballad next time since he usually defers to others)
J.D.; "Crazy" (so much better than last week)
Jessica: "Come As You Are" (very throaty and very made-up)
Jordis: "Layla" (a very upbeat arrangement, quite poppy, even she knows it's not that good)
Brandon: "It's All Over Now" (quite funky and bluesy but it's clear that he's a one-trick pony)
Marty: "Mr. Brightsides" (acoustic, sort of off in some way)
Deanna: "Long Train Running" (looks great, sings hard)
Ty: "No Woman, No Cry" (a very passionate performance, great voice)

This week they showed the bottom three so far according to the voting. Jessica, Brandon and Deanna were on the list. I have to agree with those picks but in a way strong favorite Jordis may deserve to be there for this week's performance.
