I wish I could help you out, Naja, but I don't watch the show in real time. I do appreciate all the hard work you put into spoiling!

First they showed a John and Paul montage. Paul sent the kids a personal good luck message video.

I don't watch real time and right now I'm on my iPhone (how's that for excuses). Love the spoiling though, Naja. Thank you.

They are doing a little segment where the contestants describe each other before their performance. ------ Aaron up first singing "Long and Winding Road" (uh oh, not sounding very good) Randy says yo yo, the things I liked about it were you have a great voice, tone, not good arrangement. Ellen says felt like a long and winding song. Kara says when you are hitting the notes you're good, but you have to be great and you're not reaching that level. I'd like to see you move. Simon says why did you choose that song and that arrangement?...Erin says because this journey has a been a long and winding road and I didn't want to change the arrangement. Simon says very Old fashioned, very boring, You have to become young and relevant. (The skies just turned black here for a storm, KC area)

I thought Aaron sounded great. Much better than the judges remarks.

Katie up second singing "Let It Be" Randy says yo yo listen, to me this is your best performance EVER. Reaffirms to everybody, that's why you're in the top 9. Ellen says perfect example of changing it just enough to make it your own without disrespecting the song. No way you will be in the bottom 3. Kara says great vocal, you're out here, you're amazing. You never looked better, you never sounded better and I am so proud of you tonight. Simon says when you're in the bottom 3 consistently, that means you're doing something wrong. Tonight however you got it right. Simon says some nonsense about this sounding more country and that's why it worked. Felt like she was singing about someone and not being robotic, well done.

Andrew up third singing "Can't Buy Me Love". He has his guitar as usual. Randy says yo I think it was a really solid performance, I wasn't jumping up and down, but I think you sounded good. A little corny, all in all a'right Ellen says perfect song choice for you and I loved it. Kara says I wanna love it but I just don't know that I have seen anything new from you this week that I don't already know. I wanna see more. I'm not sure people were digging it so much because they just loved the song. Simon says something about the guitarist singing at a wedding. Old fashioned, irrelevant. You and the band got this all wrong tonight. I'm sorry.

OMG... I can't stand all this filler crap that forces them to have a two-hour show instead of a one hour show. It is 7:46 and they are only on the fourth contestant. Lost comes on in 13 minutes and I'll be lucky if I see one more contestant.

Big Mike up fourth singing "Eleanor Rigby" Randy says dude, know what I am loving? The parts that did were great, couple things were too much...You've got that license where you can do what you want. Love seeing the artist in you blossom. Ellen says you can take on anything. So many different sides of you and handle each one as well. Thought it was risk and some people may not like it, I thought it was incredible, I loved it Kara says I thought that was fire, those vocals were amazing, and what you did, how you changed it up, the drama, how it was building and building and sold the story. Randy is right, you made that song commercial today. Simon says I didn't love it as much as the other 3 because this was the sort of thing you'd see hear and hear in musicals. I am disagreeing with Kara. It didn't make you contemporary. I think it made you go backwards. Too over the top. Kara and Randy chime in that Simon is wrong.

Crystal up fifth singing "Come Together". She has her guitar. Randy says yo another solid performance...maybe not your best, but I loved how you started slow and got into into your groove at the end. Even tho the digity do thing was distracting, you still won me over. You;re in the zone right now. Ellen says only thing I have to worry about is a new way to tell you how great you are. You never cease to amaze me. I could hear that on your album. Kara says I think this is one of my fav performance of yours. Had a Bonnie Raitt feel, slinky, sexy, smiling, felt you were more accessible. One of my fav performances tonight. Simon says that's a song or performance I could hear on the radio. It just worked. They all start talk talking to the guy who played the digery do thing. Simon says terrific, much better than last week.

Tim up sixth singing "All My Lovin'". He is using his electric guitar tonight. Randy says yo Tim, you're like in your own category, so I am going to start judging if it was a good "Tim" performance. Much better than the last couple of weeks, (he starts blabbing with Tim about his Beatles hair and how he likes it) Good "Tim" performance. Ellen says I actually think it was the perfect song for you and second best performance after hallelujah. You have the Paul look about you, girls go crazy about you, I thought you did very well. Kara says Tim I always thought your best performances were when you had your guitar, we have really come after you week after week, and you came out today and you did take some of our criticisms. You're to be commended for that. You can smile, c'on smile. Simon says Tim, I'm not going to judge you as Randy did on a "Tim" performance, because I don't think that's fair. I thought you did really well tonight. No gimmicks, just the right thing to do. Really liked that you take the criticism like a man. You've handled yourself very well. I'm very proud of you.

Casey up seventh singing "Jealous Guy" Randy says I loved that you are playing acoustic and not electric guitar, changed it up...Love the whole sensitive side, great song. Really impressed you took this leap. You got a blues exterior, and I love that you did this. So heartfelt. Ellen says It felt like it was about someone...For me your best performance to date. So soulful. Beautiful arrangement,. I was moved. You have a great voice, pretty hair (LOL). Kara says you showed vulnerability, which had been lacking. Tonight very tasteful. Showing depth. I think you can do more still. Simon says Goldy locks. Best performance of the night so far. (missed some) Very impressed with you tonight.

Siobhan doing Across the Universe. It sounds really sad to me for some reason. She has such great control of her voice. Not my favorite performance though, a little Disney.

Siobhan up eighth singing "Across The Universe" (she didn't do any high screecher notes) Randy says you I love wondering what you're gonna do. No one screams artist more than you. It was a little sleepy. You did your note in the false this time. (Talking too fast. missed a bunch) Ellen says you march to the beat of your own drum. You are special, really talented. I loved that it was different. We said cool it on the high notes and you did. Good job. Kara says from a purely singing perspective, you hit the notes, you showed control, in that dept is was good, I just think it was very restrained and polite. NOt sure you would hear that on the radio, but I am still a fan. I'm still confused about your performance and I am trying to process it. Simon asks her what she was trying to connect to with that song, Siobhan says something about being there for her baby sisters who are her whole world and starts crying. SImon says ok, we aren't going to take that away from you, I thought you had a disastrous week last week. I think you came back much stronger. You are unpredictable. You were much better last week. (Simon is making no sense?)

I just love Lee's voice and think he's the cutest thing. He sounded a little off to me singing Hey Jude but I still liked it. Whoa there are bagpipes on the stage lol.
