As a product of the ’80s and growing up outside Philly, this particular LAist poster never got into . Maybe it was the big hair. We don’t know.
But we preferred the skinny, pasty guys from England. Think from Duran Duran or . So we were really, really not excited to cover tonight’s .
By 8:03 PM, we were having flashbacks and could already smell the Aqua Net.
When announced that the final contestants would be singing “six Bon Jovi classics,” we chuckled. Puhleeze.
Did they even have that many hits that you could consider “classic”? Not really. But the singers did admirably with the material they had to work with.
Phil Stacey brought his country thing to “Blaze of Glory” from the Young Guns soundtrack. It was just ok. We didn’t love it like Randy and Paula, but we don’t think that he deserved Simon's wrath either.
performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer” was surreal. And not in a good way. She was terribly off key.
And in homage to Bon Jovi and , she grew her hair something fierce. And it wasn’t pretty. It made the big girl even bigger, towering over Seacrest during her critique.
took on “This Ain’t a Love Song,” which we’d never heard before. And we liked her version much better than Bon Jovi’s. After a few weak weeks, LaKisha brought her A-game back.

Tune in tomorrow night at 9 to see the TWO performers who get the boot this week...
You can no like Bon Jovi all you want, but why don't you do some research before you make claims such as this:
"Puhleeze. Did they even have that many hits that you could consider “classic”? Not really"
My friend, Bon Jovi's amount of chart success, can run circles around anyone you got.
