I sure hope Crystal is well enough to come back tonight.

Apparently they're still not sure, as whatever it was is worse than expected. According to EW and Ryan Seacrest the doctors were meeting this morning. I'd guess it is decided by now... actually look at the time, the East Coasties are going to be telling us any minute...!

Crystal is up first. She is singing Credence Clearwater's "Long As I Can See The Light".

Randy says she is the "truth" and loves that she isn't being anybody else.

Ellen says "Pure Raw Natural Talent"...so glad she is here, stay healthy, amazing.

Kara says Completely recovered, song last week didn't fit her, this week it did. Says tonight she hit a new level. Good job.

Simon says he knows she was ill, glad she didn't play sympathy card. Simon says he underestimated her. Says this is the moment he realized they have a serious artist in her.

Haeley is up singing "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. (oh brother. Maybe I am getting too old for this show if they are singing Miley)

Randy says it didn't work for him. Excruciating. Pitchy, no connection.

Ellen says great smile, didn't feel she connected to song. No feeling.

Kara says Alex Lambert factor...people out there at home rooting for her. Says she's open, real, good performer, but she needs about a year of strengthening her voice. Has talent but inconsistent.

Simon says it was a complete and utter mess.

Can we remove the word "pushed" from Ellen's vocabulary?

I was surprised no one said "pitchy" about the last girl.
I know she was trying to bend the pitch to create a special sound. But that was not a success. Plus if I were singing, I would have at least sang "Kiss me" straight once. Possibly the 1st time. She and Hailey will not make it too much farther.

I'm really happy about Crystal! Hopefully they'll be watching her now and she'll be able to keep better control.

Lacey is up singing Kara's suggestion from last week Sixpence None The Richer's "Kiss Me".

Randy says good song choice, but didn't do anything special with it.

Ellen says didn't do anything special, but thought it was adorable and she was great. Sounded like it was the right song, good choice.

Kara says this song brought back her special tone, but she has to step it up.

Simon says it was marginally better than last week. Feels she is taking part in a competition rather than showcasing her talent. Not going to remember it.




Listening to her, I was thinking how nice she would sound singing that 70's song "Midnight at the Oasis"

Katie is up singing "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae.

Randy says some bright moments, especially after the bridge. First part pitchy.

Ellen says great voice, can't believe she is 17, still wants to see her younger, doesn't want to hear something she would hear in the dentist's office. Feels she is still not singing something right for her age.

Kara agrees. Frustrated, almost wrong key. Certain songs great on the radio, but not for performing. Still waiting for "that" moment from her.

Simon says frustrating, did take their notes, but failing to show them what type of artist she wants to be. He thinks she will be back next week, but this wasn't a winning performance.

Simon was so right! Kat is full of talent but needs to find herself first. She's very young. But a lot more ready than Haeley.

Meowing is a great warm up but she's doing it wrong! (DiDi)
I tell my singers to do dolphin, meows, bowows, ...
Oh well, the way she produces sound, there's no reason to warm up at all. I don't hate it but she's not there yet either.

Ellen needs a new adjective. She has worn out "great". But I'd rather have her than Paula.

Just read about Crystal! Let's hope she would take better care of herself. She sounded great, didn't seem sick to me.

So I missed the guys again. Looks like I didn't miss much again. Saw snips of them, John Park disappointing me. Alex didn't wow me but the View ladies said he might get votes from young girls, ...

Didi is up singing "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers.

(I haven't heard the Judges comments yet, but I am so totally predicting nothing good from this)

Randy says would not have chosen that soul song, not for you, shows imperfections.

Ellen says I love your voice...don't know that was the greatest choice, but hopes people can see through that song and vote for her.

Kara says "Didi, it really wasn't good". Felt like a Karaoke bar, lost the uniqueness in her voice. All over the place. Wasn't good, but still a fan.

Simon says screeching, bad song choice, frustrating because she gets the opportunity and wastes it on something generic.

I was right

I dont even care about what Ellen said any more -- I like her, but she's not adding anything here.

Cara & Simon both sorta liked Michelle. They said the performance was "believable". I'm w/Randy, flat.

Michelle is up singing Creed's "With Arms Wide Open".

Randy says couple pitch problems, outfit is hot, didn;t do enough with the song. Fell flat.

Ellen says looks fabulous, did do a lot with the song, forgot it was rock song. Almost worked, but not quite.

Kara "My favorite performance of your's EVER!" (wha?!) May not have been perfect technically, but it felt believable for once.

Simon sides with Kara and crowd cheers. First half better than second, got 80% of it right.

crystal is a T1 diabetic, you can try and do everything right, and no matter what you do, your body is wonky, and it doesn't turn out right. it's nothing that you did or didn't do. crystal wasn't "sick" in the sense of a cold or flu.

I can go to bed at night with a perfect 100 blood sugar and wake up at 270 or 56. for no reason at all. when your body doesn't make the things it needs to survive using manufactured drugs (insulin is created in a laboratory) is the best you can do. it is never the same as if it was your own pancreas doing the job.

I like Lilly also!
Is that the song Simon hates though? Sam Cook's Change's gonna come.

Randy again praised her for being different. I cant catch every word, but they basically all like the fact she's not like the others. Simon wasn't that complimentary. Not that crazy about it but put her in the same class woth Crystal!

Sounds like the performances so far, except for Crystal's, are almost as bad as last week's. I'm not watching tonight's show either and don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I do know one thing... Haeley is no freakin' Adam Lambert. Kara has that completely wrong. Adam seemed natural. Haeley doesn't (from what I'd seen).

Lilly is up singing "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke.

Randy says season of the most unique, and that's what he loves about her. Tough song, but his fav performance of her's.

Ellen says she's got "IT". By far most the most amazing performance of the night.

Kara says she just had her first moment in the comp tonight. Riveted, couldn't wait to see what she was going to do next. "You are gonna change the game".

Simon says good, but he wasn't crazy about it. Thought Crystal was better. It was still great.
