MCL,
Thank you so much for putting this up! Yes, fortunately you were on vacation and missed this trainwreck! How on earth this girl got as far as she did, I have no idea. I saw her performance the other night and it was truly awful. I think Cee-Lo was trying to do something to take the focus off her voice with “Walk Like an Egyptian”. Nothing worked, Erin was breathy and couldn’t be heard, off key all over the place, just absolutely dreadful.
Today I read on MJ’s blog that Erin had the gall to blame Cee-Lo for this disaster! No, Erin, it was all you! However, I will say that it serves Cee-Lo right for even letting her get as far as she did. What was he thinking?
I guess Erin never learned that you don’t burn your bridges behind you when you are trying to get a start in the music business.

She is awful. Just awful! And then the Shields Brothers started to song out of tune and then the whole thing got wonky. She just said buh-bye to her career. I mentioned her interview in this blog topic.

Boy, this was really bad. All I can say is her highlighter looked good. She did not take the judge’s comments very well, either. She looked very angry and their evaluations skirted (no pun intended) her performance. I wonder why?
