I just made a pot of coffee so I can make it through the whole show. It's back to being two hours long again for a couple weeks.

I heard that Paige and Casey have both been sick. Paige has laryngitis, Casey, the flu.

Hmmm, I didn't realize only 450 people in that studio. I thought it held more.

Theme is Rolling Stones and right now they are showing a video about them and their history. Big Mike up first singing "Miss You". Randy says wasn't so crazy when it started, but got better. Way to start the show baby! Ellen says well what's not to love about that. That's the way to start the night. Good good! Kara says first night big stage, it's hard, and he delivered. Simon says definitely got your confidence up, if I am being honest, I thought the performance at times, particularly the dancing was corny. Sang it well, but it was verging on a tiny bit desperate.

awww, Didi's dog looks just like mine. Didi up second singing "Play with Fire" Randy says she was on fire. Best performance of hers. Ellen says thought she sounded great. Laughed that she made the word "fire" two syllables. Kara says she loses her way when she a little when she pushes her vocals, but tonight liked her intensity. Something compelling about the sweetness in her voice and eeriness if the song. 2 steps in the right direction. Very well done. Simon says agrees with everyone. Likes that she is beginning to us what kind of artist she is going to be. Cool choice of song. Solid, not brilliant performance.

Kara and Ellen are so hard to summarize. They both ramble much about nonsense, especially Kara. It's hard to find a single sentence that's meaningful. Casey up third singing "It's All Over Now" with his electric guitar. Randy says back to the Casey I love. Bluesy Stonesy, firey,, you are back for me, back back! Ellen says for most women their hearts start racing just looking at you, but for people like me (LOL) blonds, thought it was fantastic. Kara says I think I said you were trying to be a rock star, but tonight you WERE a rock star. This shows your soul, that you can riff, your best performance since we met. Simon says doesn't agree, you look great, sang it well, but for me that was like and audition performance. There's got to be more.

So far there is one truth -- if it is the Rolling Stones, you cant screw it up. Everyone is great. Not so impressed with Casey tonight but so far everyone else great

Lacey up fourth singing "Ruby Tuesday" Randy says yo, definitely very interesting, wasn't jumping up and down, wasn't a wow moment, but you held it together. Definitely most interesting of the night. Ellen says thought it weird in slowest part you moved, but when it slowed you sat down. A tiny bit sleepy, but I am a fan of yours. Kara says it was 50/50 for me. Were some issues where you didn't hit the notes right. I think you could do better. Likes the drama she was trying to give, but thinks she could put more into it. Simon says there's a slight issue with you which is you are performing like an actress. Everything is really really precise. Song was ok, but maybe you have to stop over thinking. Nothing wrong with the vocals.

Andrew up fifth singing "Gimme Shelter" and no guitar this time. Randy says dawg, you know I love you right? Man look, I love you, love the Stones, but it was pitchy everywhere. It wasn't great dude. Ellen says what do I know? I think it was your best performance yet. I loved it. Kara says it's a song about war and I wanted to feel it, I felt it at times, but most of the time I didn't. So it's the connection that bothered me the most. I do still like you. Simon says Kara is taking this too literally. What was he supposed to do? Come on stage with a tank? Simon says he is in the middle here. Thinks he was better in rehearsals. Something didn't quite connect. Genuinely hopes he survives another week.

Did they show the wrong phone number to call to vote for Katie on the bottom of the screen? I just caught a glimpse, but think it had a 7 at the end of the number instead of a 6.

Katie up sixth singing "Wild Horses" Randy says yo I know we have been giving you a lot of misdirection and crazy ideas, it's a good song song if you sing it well, I thought you sand it well, couple pitch things but you corrected it and I thought it was a very strong performance. Ellen says first of all, I almost wore that. I thought it started pitchy, but once you got into it, you sounded amazing. You have a great voice. Good song choice. Kara says Katie says it's never technically perfect with you, but tonight you made some nice variations on the melody. And where you were going was the right direction and it shows your talent. Better than last week. Simon says this is the only week where you have actually chosen a strong song song. That was a very very good choice. I didn't like the second half because you lost the emotion. First time you connected with the song. Well done.

I rewound. Katie had her correct #6 posted at the bottom of the screen. Both for text and dialing.

I actually like this kid and his reggae stylings on Under My Thumb with his boy-band persona. It's better than I thought it would be.

Ok, this is why I don't like this show, I almost forgot. I must be the only person who liked that rendition, but I thought it was cool.

Tim up seventh singing "Under My Thumb" with his acoustic guitar. Randy says listen man, I didn't get that. Bizarre, didn't like that. Weird for me, didn't understand it, didn't like it. Ellen says yeah, felt like I was at a resort drinking a pina colata. Was a cool take off, and I get the idea, but on a night when you should wow us, I felt like I was on the beach laying back hearing a cool song. Nothing wrong with it, it just didn't wow me. Kara says applauds him for doing something so different. Like it or not, you made it your own. Simon says applauds him for doing something different, but it didn't work. Rolling Stones fans would be turning their tvs off. It was a crazy decision.
