Asia'h Epperson up first.
Gosh, she is cute! Singing Whitney: I Wanna Dance With Somebody Doing a very good job! (Paula dancing in background) Randy: Alright, so, it makes me laugh. But I recorded that song with Whitney. Big song but you did it. Proved why we chose you and why you're here now. It was hot! Paula: You nailed it. Simon: At best, second-rate Whitney. (Asia'h answered: I'm NOT Whitney. I'll take second rate to her!}

Next: Kady Malloy.
Thought she was going home last week. (Well, so did I.) Singing something I don't know: Who Wants To Live Forever Gawd, she is awful. Very pretty, but awful. Randy: Very interesting song choice. Nice Queen song. Queen is hard to sing. You hit big notes well; some of smaller ones you didn't support so well. Paula: To date, for me, this is your best performance. I disagree with Randy about one thing: the tenderness of your voice is magical. Simon: I agree it was better, but I am still having trouble with your personality. Like a Stepford wife. Comes out all gloomy. (Kady answers, "But it is a sad song, Simon.) True, he said, but you can show emotion. You may be in trouble. A little friction between Ryan and Simon again.

Next: Amanda Overmyer.
Singing Joan Jett: I Hate Myself For Loving You Great job!! Good and gritty! And her hair was still blonde around the edges and black everywhere else, but the hair was straight, trimmed to just below her chin and not so overwhelming. And she wore normal blue jeans and a little top that did not scream out, 'Look at me.' Randy: That's the Amanda that we loved when we first saw her. Bluesy song you SHOULD be singing. Well done, baby, well done. Paula: So many things I want to say. Love your face, your hair, everything. (She said more, but my typing not fast enough!) Simon: If I am being honest, you were FANTASTIC. You nailed that song. And it was perfect for you. In a way it was one of my favorite songs performed this year. (She didn't smile.) Amanda, you CAN smile.

Carly Smithson next.
Singing Celine Dion: I Drove All Night (Uh, I never heard this song.) Wow, she's still my #1 choice. She is terrific! Gosh, she has a better figure than I thought she had! Very trim. Randy: Whoa, Carly, you keep smashing it every week. Dude, another great performance. Paula: You are like the dependable dog. I think you are totally into it. And by the way, your singing . . . there aren't enough adjectives. Simon: Once again, you chose the wrong song. (She asks, 'Simon, what do you like?') He answers, 'I like the Chakka Khan song you sang.' You are a GREAT singer. Just trying to give you constructive advice. You are much better than that, though you did a great job with the song.

Next, Kristy Lee Cook.
Singing Journey's Restless Heart Love this song and she is sounding very, very good. Kinda country twang in it. Tempo is better than I'd heard before. Randy: All right. So, you know what is cool about this? Two things that are close to my heart: dogs and Journey. What I liked about it is that you put a kind of country lilt to it. Could be a big country hit. I liked it!! Paula: I was gonna say that could be a hit for you in country music. And you looked great tonight. And I have nothing but positivity. Simon: I think it was good that we heard a country influence. Still say the problem is you are forgettable. And the best I can see, you will come in 10th.

Next, Ramiele Malubay.
Singing Phil Collins, Against All Odds Love this song. Another of my favorite gals. Hope she does well. I always love her hair! I think she is doing well, but not the standout singing I've heard from her before. (Think she held one note too long.) Randy: What's the deal, Ramiele. Another big song. Big vocals. Happy to see you return to that. But the confidence is not quite there. You've got mad vocals, dude. Come on with it. Paula: You have such a beautiful face and colorful voice. You deserve to be in the top 12. Simon: Because you're so little and cute, it was good. I actually thought it was old-fashioned. No big money note. Pretty predictable. Not jumping out of my chair about it.

Okay, I just tuned in and caught Ramiele. I'm very embarrassed to admit this, but I missed the first half of the show because I got sucked into the high drama of a Spongebob Squarepants episode on Nickelodeon.

Next: Brooke White.
Singing: Love is a Battlefield WOW!!! She is the best tonight, IMO. Very husky, very believable. Absolutely wonderful!!!!! And beautiful, too! Randy: Alright, so. Without guitar, working it out without. Didn't bring anything new to it, but it was good. (Randy is wrong, wrong, wrong!!) Paula: It's about you guys. (What d'hell does THAT mean, anyway??) Very wise choice that you did that (song, I guess). I would have liked you to incorporate the band more. But I thought you did beautifully. Simon: Couldn't disagree more with Paula. (But wait, wait, it's all good!) Working without the band made it all yours, completely different. Once again, for the second year in a row, you did an outstanding job!!!

Hey, Hermi! Just saw your posts. Glad you're here. And yes, you should blush!!!! Spongebob, indeed. IMO, Paula is mostly indecipherable. (I agree with Simon. She may know what she is talking about, but falls all over herself most of the time. Distractable.)

Syesha Mercado
Singing Whitney: Saving All My Love For You I groaned when I heard the song (I know how Simon feels about Whitney songs). But she is doing an absolutely fabulous job. On as good a level as Brooke! Or better. She was into it. Randy: Good. Good. Paula: Sophisticated but lovely. Simon: Predictable but good. Must be running out of time on the show. Oops, they are. Judges kept their remarks to one sentence, not my editing.

Thanks for copying the photos over, they're a very photogenic group. Herck, or anyone else who could see it, who do you think deserves to go home?

ITA, Hermi. Yw, Kitt! Well, no question about it, my number one choice to go home is Kady Malloy. I think that's a given. Number two choice to go home is harder for me. I guess, if considering all performances and not just tonight's, then it would be Kristy Lee Cook. She did a good job with her song tonight, but only because she inserted country into it. Her voice is just not as strong as everyone else's.

We need a whole different thread to interpret what Paula is saying.

Kady for sure to go home but, I have no idea who the 2nd person will be. I do not like Brooke & that would be my choice to leave. I actually like Kady but, she's out of her league on this show - I so agree with Simon about the personality thing. She is such an attractive girl though. I've just not liked Brooke from the get go & she's had alot of camera time so I'm sure about the dislike. She's just not very talented IMO - maybe they're pushing for her for top 12 so they have some "disposable" people there. Hey, look what's happened in past yrs with disposable folks getting fans behind them & getting too far.
