Are they given a list of songs to choose from or are they totally on their own to come up with them?

Happy Birthday, Carmen! Sorry, I don't have a clue what this song is ...

I hate this song but Carmen is in her element.

Can't tell if she is doing well though. I thought Corey was awful and everyone loved him.

I'm with you Fruit(re corey)

Carmen should be shining, but she's not. Songs too hard for her.

Now THIS from Carmen is definitely a country song.

Carmen...Wild Angels by Martina McBride. At least she kept with the theme. Don't like her singing. She will get better with age though

Fruit - I HATED IT! He was off and his last note was horrid!

Carm - Wild Angels (Martina McBride)

She's in her element, and although she's not my favourite (Clay!) she sounded better tonight.

Here are a couple of things I found on country rock....

---------------------
In it's simplest definition, "country rock" is the idea of rock bands playing country
music; cowboy sounds but with electrically charged instruments and pop melodies

----------------------
Gram Parsons was one of the founders of country-rock and an artist whose influence can be heard in the music of such disparate performers as the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Emmylou Harris, and Wilco.

-------
Country Rock is a blend of the Country and Rock genres, sometimes favoring Country, sometimes favoring Rock. With some of the original bands, such as The Byrds or The Flying Burrito Brothers, the music was closer to Traditional Country than the popular Country music of the era. In most cases, however, Country Rock artists rely more on electric guitar, a stronger bass presence, and harder drums than their pure Country brethren. Some Country Rock is Country music without enough "twang." Much of the most popular Soft Rock of the '70s was crossover Country Rock, with James Taylor, Bread, and early Steely Dan having obvious Country influences. ~Andrew Liotta, MSN Music

Another bad song choice - Carmen should have chosen better.

R- pretty good, couple of pitch problems, but all right
P- happy birthday! (it is carmen's b.d.) this is your element
O-you sang with a lot of strength, this is your genre
S- the song is dreadful, never heard of it, but you sounded good.

My bf HATES country, but he's sucked in now!!! He's grumbling and mumbling but commenting all the way through!

As for Corey - I think they are seriously on CRACK when it comes to their opinions of him!

I hated Corey too! Jesus, what do they see in him......he was off, weak and sat down for that song!

Fruit, you said "element" first! ESP with the judges??? :)
Frankly I didn't think Carmen did that well. Maybe my expectations were too high since this is Country week. But I'm sure she will get enough birthday votes to stay... for now.

It will remain a mystery. The viewers agree with us. Maybe he will go tonight.

Corey needs to go...seriously...he is terrible and Paula and Randy need to get over him

I am going to have a problem with all of them because I have no sense of this music. I have heard country that I have liked. But I do not like the choices tonight. bleck

I am just so not a fan of Corey's voice..keep wanting him to go deeper and they love it when he sings in the high range!
I am not a huge fan of country, but I am knowing most of these songs..guess I listen to more crossover music than I know! LOL
