Todrick just sang Queen's Somebody to Love, kind of a gospel feel to it at times. Judges liked his singing, but felt he was in and out of the gospel feel, not committed. They pretty much liked it.

Backing up, Andrew's Genie was okay. They say he peeked too soon, didn't really dislike it but they didn't go crazy over it.

Mike is up now. Sorry I missed the title of the song and don't recognize it. He sounds great, dressed in a nice suit, moving around more on the stage than usual, kinda sexy I must say.

Mike just hit a glory! note and had a beautiful ending. Randy: really??? got to give it to you again, dope, wonderful, last note...what? That was hot! Ellen: one of my fave songs, just beautiful, show just began, you're the one to beat Kara: You made me cry, never cry. As a woman with no child, it was amazing, brought me to tears. Simon is hugging her. Simon: Show was a bit boring, a bit worthy, you 100% nailed it. It was the best performance not only tonight, but of all the live shows this year.

Aaron Kelly sang Already There by Lonestar. Kara started to say Aaron couldn't relate to it, being a young man because it's about a man calling his children. Simon cut her off and told her that was completely wrong, at the same time Aaron was telling her he was just like a narrator for the song, not singing it as the father. They all thought he did alright.

I should add Mike was last, not Aaron. I just wanted to add that because it(Aaron's performance) got missed in the blackout.

You're welcome. From my CRS memory, the judges liked Casey. Kara is almost back on the Casey bandwagon (or whatever). She would have preferred an all acoustic version, just him with the guitar.

Mike's song was This Woman's Work by Maxwelll, according to mjsbigblog. Make sure you listen to it online tomorrow if you miss it tonight. It was great, imo!

This is the second time I've heard Simon refer to something as "worthy", using it as a negative. What do you think he means by it? Is it a British use of the word that's different from the Americans, or just Simon?

Mak1, I went and looked around the net. I guess worthy the way Simon uses it means to be a little bit "full of yourself".

Great spoiling Naja and thanks for great filling in there Mak1 and Kooklie. I think you pretty much captured the whole show. I find the guys kind of boring this year with the one exception being Mike. The judges are pretty funny. I never would have believed the Kara/Simon routine but they are right into it.

I'm enjoying the boys SO, so much better than the girls. It will be interesting to hear them all sing on the same night.

Watching now.. That Hallelujah that was sung is Leonard Cohen's song, written by him. k d lang sang it wonderfully at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics recently. I have a version by the Canadian Tenors.. I don't agree with Randy that it was a "pretty good job" or with Ellen.. fantastic? I don't think so. And he may go home, Kara.. And why the heck is Kara always LEANING on Simon? Quite irritating. And Simon, I think when you listen back, you'll be appalled that you were so positive. But then Tim does have the vote for the worst vote tonight, for what it is worth.

Sea, they said he did the "Jeff Buckley" version of "Hallelujah". That's why I posted that when I was doing spoiling before my signal went out. I post which version they announce they are doing.

Yeah I heard Randy say that right while I was typing away Did you ever get your signal back? Sounds like they took a BIG hit. I guess I've heard that song SO much lately, have been playing the Canadian Tenors CD a lot while driving around and Hallelujah is my favorite track and the favorite of several other people so it gets more play and they put so much into it. And k d's version, yow! I know none of the idols are up to that, yet..

No, we never got the signal back. I'll just download the whole show in the morning. And they said Jeff Buckley before he even sang.

Hard to choose who out of the boys should go home, they all did well. On past performance I'd say Todrick, but I really thought he did pretty well tonight. Tim's so sweet, he can't go.

I thought the two who did the Hallelulah song and the Queen song totally butchered the songs. The worst I've ever heard of those songs, actually. I thought Mike did the best of all of the guys. The rest of the guys? Mostly awful. Granted I missed the first guy, but... I'm in a hotel room, and so I was mostly unpacking and settling in so I wasn't watching the performances, but listening. And just listening to the songs? If I was home, and watching a recording, I would've FF'd thru those songs so quickly you wouldn't know what hit ya.

I thought that Jason Castro did the best version ever on American Idol of Hallelujiah.

I have to chuckle every time I hear that Hallelujah song. When DS was about 18 months we were somewhere and heard that song on the radio. He goes, "Shrek!" Now I always think of it as the Shrek song (it was when Shrek was pining over Fiona towards the end).
