Yo, alright so listen. a couple of things, I know you are mad young. To me this is one of the best vocals of the night, this showed you have the pipes. the song started a little rough. nice vocals. Ellen said, I wish the song was a little more current. Cara, you found where you belong, this is one of your best vocal performances. you got to go back to making it young and commercial. Simon, for Simon to compare you to Christina is crazy. it was pretty good, very robotic, quite cold. I personally wouldnt have taken on that song. It was that song from years ago star search. I think the advice Cara is giving you is worng. I a with Simon on this

Katie up next singing Aretha's "Chain of Fools". (I think she is doing pretty well!) Randy says yo, so listen couple things, I know you are young, a little disconnected, but one of the best performances of the night. Showed you have the pipes. Like a young Xtima. Started rough. Nice vocals. Ellen says you have a little Snookie poof. I thought the vocals were great. I wish the song was more current. Kara says you found where you belong. One of your best vocal performances, but you have to go back and make it young. Simon says I think for Randy to compare you to Xtina is crazy. Robotic, came across cold. thought it was a little bit Star Search. Thinks the advice Kara gives her is wrong. (Lots of arguing with Kara and Simon and Randy) They were arguing so fast I missed a lot.

I think Katie would be good at Bonnie Raitt type vocals, country but some blues in there.

Lee is channeling Dave Matthews in this song. Every song he does sounds like a hit. He rocked it, audience loves it.

They show everyone hugging Katie backstage telling her great she was. Lee is up! He is singing "Treat Her Like A Lady" by the Cornelius Brothers. Ryan mentioned he has walking pneumonia(?). (wow, I think he sounds great!) Randy says yo yo Lee, check it out baby, this is great, Unbelievable! Best I've heard you in weeks! That was the ball. Ellen says There you go! Best performance of the night. Kara says Brought the song into your world, it was amazing! Simon says I always believed in you, we had some frustrations (some talk of lack of confidence I didn't quite catch), I want you to go home tonight and watch this and understand this is the night that may have changed your life forever.

Crystal's lower register is weak I always notice it. I think this was a mistake, she a bit all over the place. Wow not agreeing with the judges here who are kissing her butt.

I am so glad Lee sang that song, when I saw the list of the choices I swear I was hoping someone would sing it. I only saw his and Didi's (now watching crystal) and did not like her tonigh.

Crystal up next singing "Midnight Train To Georgia" Gladys Knight & the Pips Crystal playing the piano. (ha! my beagle was right and I didn't think she would be) Randy says yo I love the outfit, whole ensemble, Gladys would say you did yourself proud. Another great performance Ellen says you're never not good, this is another side of you, you are really competing, wonderful idea. Kara says So glad you took that risk, I can't wait to see what you do next. Simon says song choice sensational, you were uncomfortable with the piano, do not let this process suck the identity out of you because what you have been doing is fantastic. You're the rare artist who knows what they should be doing. Don't change into something you're not. wow, they were talking fast. They must be running behind.

Poor Aaron sounds nervous. It's a bummer that Lee sang this song in his audition, it isn't comparing well. (Ain't No Sunshine)

Aaron up last singing Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine". (I think it was boring) Randy says yo yo, started rough, when you hit your power zone, it kinda worked itself out, It was just alright for me. Ellen says I thought it was a good song choice, good job. Kara says I liked it, wasn't in love with it. Simon says compared to Lee who was like a main course, that was like a cupcake. I don't think you're leaving. It was "ok".

Wonderful spoiling. Thanks Maris and Naja! Ouch! I didn't like most of the performances tonight. Crystal was good (as usual) and Lee was good and Andrew picked it up a bit but the rest were pretty bad/boring. I can't believe most of these people are the best out of thousands that auditioned. Very low energy and imagination. By the way, I like Ellen's judging more and more as the season progresses. She is funny but she also seems very sincere and I think her comments provoke good discussion among the judges.

I listened, rather than watching, most of last night's show (just now) and the only one who didn't bore me was Crystal. I just don't feel something from most of them. Siobhan did a horrible job screeching, I swear Mike mumbled half his words, Katie was unremarkable, and most of the rest of the boys I can't even remember their names. Crystal has a unique voice. I think she did Gladys Knight proud with that song. I also think she showed her versatility (so she's not wanting to stay pigeonholed in the coffee house folk singer genre).

I thought Lee was the best performance of the night. Agreed with Simon on Crystal, she didn't need those backup singers on the piano. But, then, I'm already tired of her.

Agreed Kookie! I'm not tired of her, but she needs more vocal training to really bring out the best in her voice. Upper register is fantastic but lower notes can be weak. I don't mind that she has weaknesses, but the judges need to point them out instead of kissing her butt all the livelong day. Overall, I find the men to be a stronger group than the women at this point, esp. in connecting with the songs and giving solid performances. They also don't have so many stray scary notes. Siobhan is very good but she wasn't in the song this week, she was laying notes on top of it, if that makes sense. She is becoming formulaic in her own way.

Loved Casey and Crystal last night. Thought Lee was good too, especially if he has walking pneumonia (been there, done that - can't believe he could sing!). I thought Mike was kind of boring...I get that he's the romantic crooner of the group but isn't he doing basically the same thing every week? Siobhan was very weak last night and the judges comments were on spot, although I got tired of them nattering on about how much they loved her and how she deserved a bye...what was up with that? Aaron, Katie (who I think is way overrated) and Andrew were all kind of meh to me, and Tim and Didi were pretty bad. But so far this is my favorite group of songs. I love Midnight Train to Georgia and Gladys Knight and I thought that Crystal did it proud.

I love how the judges say that the contestants need to be more current, yet the song choices are all seem to be from the 1960's and 70's. While not an Usher fan, I liked watching him when he was mentoring the contestants. It was clear who he really liked (his eyes sparkled and his demeanor changed) versus those who he might have been trying to find nice things to say about their performance.

Ok they need to stop saying they have these "illnesses," which have escalated in severity over the course of the season. Next week Siobhan will have the bubonic plague. Just say they are feeling under the weather and that should do. <----doesn't really believe Aaron had tonsillitis/laryngitis last week.

I am tired of Siobhan. Crystal is ok. I really dont like this year's contestants. Simon has totally checked out. Ellen is lost, Randy is not the same Randy that we saw last year. He just is not as excited as he use to be. Kara... She was better last year for me. Not sure why the judges are so boring this year, maybe they miss Paula or they know that this is Simon's last season? I thought it was funny whne Simon said that Tim would make it through because the young girls thought he was cute. To be honest I havent seen many seasons when the best singer won. It was who was the best looking and didnt sound too bad while singing. Dial Idol has Andrew leaving, not good.

He is at the bottom (which isn't good) but statistically the only person who they think is safe is Crystal. So it is possible that someone else will go instead of Andrew.

To give him credit, Lee did not say anything about having pneumonia until Ryan brought it up, and he downplayed it...and his performance more than made up for any problems he might have had, in my opinion. I doubt he will use it as an excuse if he's in the bottom tonight (which I think will be unlikely).

I think Tim and Didi will be in the bottom two, with Didi going home. Maybe Katie will be in bottom three, but she didn't really do a bad job. Siobhan's got way too many fans to go home after one bad performance.
