So here comes the whirlwind pre-analysis of the song names and groups but without listening.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight&#8217;s episode is &#8220;My Generation&#8221; &#8211; This theme could mean any number of things, but with the lineup being a Country, High School, Techno, and All-Female&#8230; This could go in a lot of directions.<\/p>\n<p>The intro will be a medley of &#8220;My Generation, We Will Rock You, and It&#8217;s Time. Which should be greatly fun. But onto the groups and their songs:<\/p>\n<p>Home Free &#8211; Ring of Fire. Once again, Home Free finds a country hit that has enough cross-over to keep them in the running. My fear is that so far we have begun to see a formula where the lead singer is awesome, the song is &#8220;Fun&#8221; and then they trot out Uber-bass for a few lines for the sex. I am beginning to want to see more from them.<\/p>\n<p>VoicePlay &#8211; Don&#8217;t Speak. I really love this song. And I can not envision it as a cappella. This doesn&#8217;t mean anything of course. VoicePlay was the first group to get the Ultimate Sing Off wake-up call. So hopefully, they can keep up the energy and give a huge surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Element &#8211; You Keep Me Hangin&#8217; On. As opposed to the previous song; I can hear this one easily done a cappella. This also doesn&#8217;t mean anything. However, Element has not been bringing it anywhere near the power of Delilah (and one of their members was in that group)&#8230; They need to show or be in the bottom this week.<\/p>\n<p>Vocal Rush &#8211; Holding Out For a Hero. This is a song that once again pre-dates the singers (which I find very amusing each week.) I think this one is a challenge and will really be the one that people measure Vocal Rush by. I like them a lot but I don&#8217;t know if they have the ability to push through the whole season.<\/p>\n<p>Odds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Home Free &#8211; Ring of Fire \u00a015:1<\/li>\n<li>VoicePlay &#8211; Don&#8217;t Speak 10:1<\/li>\n<li>Element &#8211; You Keep Me Hangin&#8217; On 12:1<\/li>\n<li>Vocal Rush &#8211; Holding Out for a Hero. 5:1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>10 minutes to go&#8230; Let&#8217;s hear your picks and how you fare.
