To be fair I guess, he did play Ray Charles, and there's no original members of the Rat Pack still alive. So I guess Jamie is the next best thing? lol In another WTF moment of Season 8, Jamie Foxx is the surprise mentor tonight for Rat Pack Week! lmao.

Happy to report that there are as many Adam supporters as Adam haters over at Brian Mansfied's blog (thanks to those of you who posted). I realize that not all Adam haters dislike Kris--I like him a lot. However, Brian Mansfied made the point that no one dislikes Kris, but many dislike Adam because of these so-called "mannerisms." I don't buy it, and I called him on it. He tried to defend himself this morning; no go, sorry. I like Brian a LOT, but I found his article insulting, and I am not backing down. I told him it on Twitter and I told him at the site. The only good news is that Adam will most likely come in at least 2nd, and we will get to see a lot of him on the tour. Said that, I want him to win (duh). But Kris and Adam are right now the best bets for the finale (though Danny isn't going anywhere, alas). Thanks anyway, Katri. I do not know HOW they will get through 10 (!) songs tonight, when they couldn't do 8 of them. We'll see. I think that they contestants won't get judged until after they have sung twice; could be wrong about that. I continue to wait for Adam to sing Dust in the Wind or similar to show off his entire range. I agree, he will probably do it Top 3. Next week, he will rock out with Slash, etal.

I thought the AI site specified 2 songs. Darn. Any validity to that spoiler from the so-called band member? If That's Life is the only song he sings I'll be disappointed. (Although knowing Adam, maybe not). I'm beginning to feel like every change AI's made this year is bad. One song for top 5? Just no. The HCYDC video from Upright is incredible. Oh to see this guy live. If he loses to Kris it will be a sad, sad day for AI imo. Where did you hear it was one song only? I thought the AI site specified 2 songs. Darn.

So is it actually only going to be one song each tonight? if so then that's really sad, meaning more adverts and fluff then actual singing. Hopefully it'll be 2 like the last few years, but i guess we'll just have to wait until tonight to know for sure!

In the event she is talking about "Foxx" in that context, though, the "Ray" soundtrack has several songs recorded by Rat Packers other than "Georgia on My Mind." Sinatra covered "Hallelujah, I Love Her So," and "I Can't Stop Loving You," and Sammy Davis, Jr. recorded "What'd I Say." I guess Foxx could be linked to any of those by having lip-synced them in the film, but it sure seems tenuous to me.
