PGage said: One more thing - tonight's show illustrated just how great those Motown songs are. Those are the songs I grew up with, so I am biased, but if they sang nothing but Motown every week I would actually look forward to watching this show. Those songs stand up to the best of the those in the Great American Songbook, which you can see because they lent themselves to a variety of interpretations. This night made sense to me in a way that Michael Jackson night did not (and I thought the best songs for this show from that night were from the Jackson 5 period).
Karla replied: Agreed. Someone on another list was trying to argue that Motown songs are dated. SO WRONG! Motown songs are absolutely classic, and Adam demonstrated last night that you can reinterpret them and completely reinvent them, because they are so well written. I've watched pretty regularly since Season 2, and this season has been, for me, underwhelming. One thing I like about the show is that it gives contestants (the lucky ones who get to stick around) a chance to learn and grow, and I'm not seeing much of that yet, except from Adam.
