The Stellas were up next. Marylynne thought having Big Kenny mentor them was a little bit surreal. As for himself, BK loved their voices and how they performed. They'd need to step out of themselves and work ther unique qualities. They hit the stage ready to make their mark, and they were certainly dressed for it. Well-coordinated but not matching in jeans with black and red on top. Oh, and Marylynne had on a pair of killer red boots with spiked heels. They sang Kenny Loggins’ “Danny’s Song”, a simple, sweet song. They upped the ante when they named their two daughters in the lyrics. For me, it was a great performance. Even better, the hubby and I have something we call the chill factor, when tingles run up and down your spine. It's when an artist tells a story. It’s a rarity when I get to experience that sensation. I got the chills as I watched them.
BK said, “Thank you to whatever happened to pull them out of the woodworks of this little 800 population town in Canada. You came and showed us this God-given gift to the world. Amen!” Ms Naomi said, “You’re experimentalists, you’re unorthodox. I love the fact that you’re kind of this renegade thing but you live this organic simple life back home . I just find you enchanting and I’m going to absolutely say yes.” I was surprised at Mr. Borchetta’s response, especially as he reminded us that they are one of his favorites in the whole show. He thought it was the least interesting song they’d done so far.
Up next were Steel Magnolia and Joshua quickly cut to the chase during their time with Big Kenny. “What do we have to do to win?” His response was, “To be great. It involves everything from the way you look to just the presence you give off.” He called it “lightning in a jar.” BK went on to say it was how the two played off of their sexual energy that drew him to them. He could tell they enjoyed being there singing together. They sang the Steeler’s Wheel song “Stuck In the Middle With You” and right from the get-go, with the way they were dressed, you could tell they were there to win. Joshua wore a retro black suit with a skinny black tie, sleeves rolled up. Meghan just blew everyone else out of the water with her looks and attitude. She had on a sparkly iridescent mini dress with some fierce pink pointy-toed stilettos with a silver heel. Her updo went great with the whole swingin’ '60s, London Mod look, including the black velvet bow she wore in her hair, just like my older cousins used to do when I was a kid. As for her attitude, she strode to the front of the stage, saying, “This is a song for anybody that stayed out too late. Maybe you partied too long and wound up somewhere you shouldn’t have been.” She remembered to relate to the audience and her partner and even gave backup band Sixwire a nod and a wink a couple of times. Josh took a moment to step out from behind the mic stand and do a bit of footwork. Major chill factor for me... twice in one night!

All I can say is that the judges must be feeling something that isn't translating through the airwaves to me watching at home. Whatever it is, must be why they've kept Ryan & Avalon in the competition.
What do you think about this week's results?
