Thank goodness the show is back to being only one hour long tonight. YAY! Also, even though I don't "want" to vote until we get to top 12 next week, I think I may vote tonight because this is the week we always get sick about couple people going to top 12 that no way should. It happens every year.

Up first Katie singing "Break Away" by Kelly Clarkson Randy says the song was too big for her, paled in comparison. Karaoke. Didn't work. Ellen says right song choice, but didn't feel the words. Singing but not feeling. Kara says great radio voice, but says she doesn't think she knows who she is an artist and is stumbling. But good voice. Simon says she's taken the advice, but she still doesn't know what kind of artist she is. She made the song gloomy, but gives her a 10 out of 10 for trying.

Up second Siobhan singing "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals Randy says You come out every week and surprise. I love what you do. Takes risks and chances. Keep doing it. Ellen says you are why I love music. I love what you did with the song. Made it current. Spectacular. Kara says I love the acapella vibe at the front. You are so unique. You are doing great and I liked it tonight. Simon says Um, I wasn't quite such a fan of that. I thought it was a bit weird. If this was the first time I had seen you, I would have real doubts because you didn't do anything with the song. Under-impressed. No moments...Ploddy(?), dark, didn't get it.

Up third is Lacey singing "The Story" by Brandy Carlile Randy says the song a little boring, but it's your best performance for me. Ellen says her best performance to date. Perfect song choice. Kara says performances like this are why you got here. Effortless, brilliant choice, back on your path. Simon says I didn't love love the song but you sang it really well. You know where the cameras are, you know where to look, feels like you've been doing this a long time. I still haven't heard the right song connection yet.

Up fourth is Katelyn singing Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" Randy says Didn't feel the right connection. That song had nothing to do with you, sleepy, a little boring. Ellen says I don't know that was the song to wow people with. You are adorable but I don't know if that will make people pick up the phone and dial. It just wasn't enough. Kara says I didn't feel like you were competing. Just going through the motions. Felt like you were not even playing and I don't even know what happened. Do you know? (Katelyn replies she was just trying to be less corny per their suggestions) Simon says let's start with positive. You're hair Downside kinda like request night at a restaurant night. Chose a quiet simple song, didn't look like you were trying hard, so I think this may have been a mistake for you.

Up fifth is Didi singing Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" Randy says definitely better than last week. Not a wow moment, but better. Ellen says yes indeedee. Lovely performance, I like what you did with it. Good job Kara says one of my favorite moments of the show so far this season. Thought she was out of her mind for picking that song, but sometimes you can surprise us. Really one of my favorite moments. Simon says Didi I agree with Kara. I thought that was head and shoulders above anything else we have heard tonight. You've proved you are an artist. Says to Randy she did have a wow moment...the whole performance. Brilliant choice of song.

Paige up 6th singing "Smile" by Charlie Chaplin Randy says Paige, one of my fav song but it just didn't work. I was looking for the banquet. Went flat, Didn't work at all. Ellen says that song is supposed to be inspiring and uplifting...instead it was sad and heavy. You have such a great personality and we didn't see it. This is the time to shine, and wrong song to choose. Sorry. Kara says what can I say? They've said it. It was all wrong. Simon says I'm just going to repeat what everybody else just said. It was a horrible choice of song, arrangement horrible, sort of thing you'd hear at the Holiday inn. Problem is you have no idea who you are. Could be the end of the road.

Crystal up 7th singing Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" Randy says listen man, this is what this show about. Love that, love you, love the song, that was hot. Ellen says need new adjectives for her. I am sick of saying you are amazing. Best performance of the night. Kara says this is what we talk about when people know who they are. This is easy for you, you know what to do, that was a great song for you, contemporary, and what you would being on your record. Simon says you are 1-million-billion % going to be in the top 12. I would say definitely most improved. Confidence. You are the one everyone has to beat. It's your's to lose.

Lilly up last singing Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" Randy says loved the song, thought it was hot, you're in the zone, well done. Ellen says loved your voice, your originality, your style, loved it, love you. Kara says I don't know how you did it, but you sorta made Pasty Cline feel current. It felt contemporary so I gotta give it to you for that. Simon says I think you're very brave picking that song on a night like this. What it didn't have was the wow factor. Cute, quirky, but that could have been a risky thing to do. ok, that's it

Ya know what's sad? When I read Naja's great spoiling, I don't know who anyone is (other than Crystal and Lilly). I have to read then go look at the banner. I'm like "who the heck is Paige? who is Katelynn? which one's Katie again?" Ack!

I haven't really been watching this season because of all the other stuff on (olympics, Lost). Boy, what I'm hearing now is not making me want to tune in! These girls are not singing well at all. I may wait until the top 12 to try again. My ears are bleeding.

I love love love Lacey, and I'm hoping beyond anything that she and Siobahn make it to the Top Twelve. Those are definitely my top two girls. Crystal and Lilly follow them up, and the only reason why is because they aren't "current" enough for me to catch any interest. They'd be great for my mom to listen to, and I see their talent, but I'd never listen to them off of the show. Paige rounds out my top five but she really didn't do well this week. In fact, out of the four mentioned above I don't really care who leaves. Katelyn doesn't have enough "zing" to hold my interest, and neither does Katie. Didi gets on my mother's last nerve, meaning she doesn't stop about Didi, meaning I always have to hear about it. I'm not attached to her so if Didi leaves then it'll help my sanity. >_>

If I heard her right, Paige is saying her voice warbled for her entire song because she could not control her grief over the months-old departure of Michael Jackson. I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud realizing that such ridiculousness could have ruined her chances for the top twelve. And this is coming from a person who teared up when I heard about his passing, and has all the same memories and more that she has, but when it's time to sing for the nation, you get it together, my friend. I am just so disappointed because I really liked her potential. The other thing that made me laugh out loud was, while Crystal Bowersox was blowing us all away with her awesome song, the shot of the glum girls halfheartedly clapping over her shoulder.

I wouldn't have said this two weeks ago but I think the talent for the girls is pretty good this year. Crystal is great and I really love how unique Siobhan is. I like Lilly as well but she wasn't quite as strong this week. . I'm glad that Didi came back and had a better week as well. I thought that Katelyn was a bit average after a solid performance last week. Lacey is interesting. The other two are okay but not exceptional.

The only one that even half impressed me was the girl with the dreads. The rest were dread-FUL. Pun intended.

Siobhan impressed me tonight. She seems a little odd but in a good way.

I love, love, love Siobhan!!!! I also love Lacey and Didi. I hope all 3 make it to the top 12. Crystal did well again as usual and Lilly too but for some reason I'm not as interested in them though I definitely think they should stay!! I thought Katie did well the other weeks but not tonight, Same with Paige and Katelyn. Any of them can go.

I love Siobhan, Lilly and Crystal. Vote for the Worst went for Paige tonight. Kate definitely not as good as previously. Didi better by far than previously. I do like Lacey and hope she also makes it through tonight. Crystal brings back feelings from the time of Janis Joplin.. without the bottle of Southern Comfort .. that's a good thing.

Based on this week I'd definitely think Katie and Paige should go, which is a shame as they clearly both have good voices when they have the right song. I'm still not sure whether Didi's and Lily's voices are copycat. They both sound a lot like someone or more than one singer I hear on the radio a lot, and I don't know if their voices are natural or copying that style. I like how they sound but they don't sound very original. I like Crystal most of all, but I'm not sure if when it comes down to the final weeks, assuming she gets that far, whether she will get a lot of votes from the people who vote most in AI. In a lot of ways she's more Adam Lambert than Kris Allen and it might go against her in the end.
