I like how they tried to shame him too, like "what if the Stones are watching right now?" If they are watching they are probably thinking "hmm, more royalites for me." Ugh.

Ok, I don't like this girl's version of "paint it black." She sounds pretty bad.

Looking at the banner with numbers after this last number, it looks like it was the texting number I think was wrong for Katie. Ending in 5707 instead of 5706. But again, maybe I'm dreaming. :-)

Siobhan up eighth singing "Paint it Black"

Randy says yo bringing the drama to AI9...that was HOT!

Ellen says I love the way you look tonight, I love the way you sound, I love the way you did that song. You rise above. In a sea of people you stand out. You're like Snookie's poof (LMAO!)

Kara says flashbacks of Adam Lambert. The best interpretation tonight. You did the most with the song. Most interesting.

Simon says I totally agree. It was the standout performance of the night. A lot of people are going to love it, a lot are going to hate it, which is a nice place to be. Which is better than being indifferent and boring. So you had a good night.

Lee up ninth singing "Beast of Burden" with his acoustic guitar.

Randy says dawg, you're an amazing singer but you really came home with this for me. It put me in the mind of a cross between Rob Thomas and Dave Matthews. Dude, I thought it was dope! I thought it was one of your better performances.

Ellen says I thought it was great, I thought it sounded great, but of all the people tonight I was expecting a tiny bit more from you, but it almost didn't come together like a hospital gown. I little less than I expected.

Kara says you are growing faster than anybody. And that's what I want to celebrate tonight with this. Tremendous growth.

Simon says I really like you as a person, your whole story, but what has always held you back is your personality. Because you don't shine. Safe and forgettable song. Frustrating because you have got an incredible voice. I want to see you choose a song and have a "moment".


(Lee is my favorite guy on the show and I loved him doing this song!)

Paige up tenth singing "Honky Tonk (Wo)Man"

Randy says when I heard you were doing this song, I thought it was going to be a mess, but you a'right with it. You pulled it out.

Ellen says I loved that you used the stage. You have such great star quality. Great presence. No one would know you have been struggling with your voice.

Kara says for someone struggling with their voice, you really hit some big notes. I have to applaud you for that.

Simon says he didn't know about her laryngitis. Taking that into account, you did great, hit some big notes, song was a little generic, still haven't quite connected, you need to find something to make you unique. At least for the moment we heard the big voice we loved when we heard you in Hollywood.

Aww, that kid (Aaron) was cute. I heard that the women were stronger this year, but I think the men so far are better. He did a nice job.

Just became a Paige fan. :-)
She was sick and came through!
I missed most of the show, but I assume Crystal will be last up, right? She is pretty much safe, anyway, so I might have thought one of the others would have that spot.
Aaron reminds me of David Archuletta(sp?).

Aaron up eleventh singing "Angie"

Randy says your mom was right, you were born to sing. I like you, thought it was hot.

Ellen says thought it was great song choice. Thought him and Siobhan stood out tonight.

Kara says I beat you up last week, but you showed me tonight. When you find the right place, it's very powerful, and that what you did tonight.

Simon says he chose 100% the right song. What he did cleverly was sing the song within the limits of his vocals this time. One of his strongest performances, Well done.

Just IMO: Siobhan really "wow'd me" - best so far.

Loved Casey & Lee (of course - I'm female & they're both hot and they sing really good too).

Katie did really good with her "Wild Horses" song and I'm not a fan.

Tim - I like him & I want to LOVE him but he just is out of his league with this comp.

Andrew - He captured me with his "Paula" song wks ago and I finally saw a bit of that tonight.

Lacy - such a beautiful girl with a soft unique voice. I just didn't get her tonight though.

Didi - just don't like her - she did ok.

Paige - don't like her either but the girl rocked tonight!

Aaron - I just got "wow'd" again!!!!!! Great.

Mike - good as always.

Christal is next - can't wait.

Sorry to have missed Didi, I think she is my fav for the girls now. The judges called it, I feel like Crystal is phoning it in, which is hard to tell cause she is so good, but yeah. Wow, I really don't care for Siobhan, guess I would have to see her other performances.

Crystal up last singing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" with her acoustic guitar.

Randy says yo I don't think it was your best performance, there were a couple problems, but I LOVE YOU, you are always great.

Ellen says you sing with such ease, and you are born to be on stage, but what I have been missing from you that I saw a little bit tonight is personality. You started adding a little bit of that tonight and being playful. Let yourself have fun. Play more on stage, because the singing you got that.

Kara says I agree, you're so comfortable up there I was starting think she thinks "wow, she thinks she's almost got this", but tonight you loosened up, shows you loosened up and it's just so easy to watch.

Simon asks Crystal what she meant by she was overthinking. Crystal replied I don't know, I got a lot on my mind. Simon says he felt that. Says she came out tonight 100% the clear favorite, and thinks she chose a song that didn't have what she needed, Thinks it's the first time someone has beaten her, Siobhan. Has to dig deep every week. You have to kill.


And that's all folks :-)

The two things I wanted to mention from tonight was I thought Siobhan's "note" sounded dreadful this time, and I really don't see how/why Crystal got any criticism for her song tonight. That shocked me. I thought she did great.

Lee and Crystal for the win!

I'd say that Katie is a solid singer but she isn't the kind of performer that stands out (at least not yet).

Crystal was excellent as usual. IMO she just stands way out in front. Ironically though, her weakness is that she almost makes it look too easy so she might appear indifferent to some people. I'm with Naja - I don't see how she got any criticism at all she is that good (they may be trying to make sure that Crystal and her fans don't get over confident).

Siobhan is entertaining and definitely my second favourite overall though I didn't think her performance tonight was all that great. A bit clichéd and that one note was just screaming.

For the guys, Lee is very good but he needs to work on his confidence and show a bit more personality.

Overall though, considering the Stones are so energetic, the whole show didn't have a lot of energy or passion. Considering the great material they had to work with, it was pretty dull.

yeah, i agree that siobhan's note was screaming, but i thought that it was screaming on purpose--ragged and passionate. along with that beautiful ending after the scream, it really worked for me. i felt that down deep!

The thing about Siobhan's note...It started off fine, wonderful, like a screaming rocker should sound... but then she lost control of it for about the second half of it. At that point it sounded more like someone stepped on a cat. I was sitting here listening to it surrounded by four speakers and it made me flinch.

Agreed with the judges on Lee, he shoulda knocked it out of the park with this musical catalog to choose from. Still love him.

Casey rocked it out! He's had a couple of really bad weeks, so was glad to see him do well again.

Katie/DeeDee/Paige don't really do anything for me. They are generic, forgettable singers. They would be great in the chorus of a Broadway show or at a theme park, but they don't sparkle.

Urban is beyond dismal. With all the wonderful talent they had during Hollywood week, and some of the top 24 that were cut before final 12, and he's the best of what you had? He's awful. Just awful.

Siobhan was a screamer, for sure. Not sure if I like her. But her performance was GUTSY. And fun.

I REALLY want to love Lacey, but she just hasn't delivered. Yet.

Mike was Eh. He's good, fella has pipes. I also feel like he's better suited to Broadway, not a pop rock idol. No sparkle here, either.

I like Andrew on and off. Tonight was definitely in the middle. I absolutely hate that he did Straight Up during Hollywood week, because I feel he'll never live up to that again.

Haven't seen Aaron and Crystal yet. Looking forward to his after all these comments, and Crystal is my favorite for-the-win, so I don't think I'll be disappointed.
