1 - JD. His song was a true original, written just a few weeks ago. He combined his songs into a complete performance. He was imaginitave using a megaphone. He worked the stage and crowd into a frenzy. His only drawback was going first. If he had gone last, after Marty there would be no doubt.2 - Marty. Trees is a great song. He and his band have been playing it for some time. He looses points for that, little risk. Everlong was good but his timing seemed way off. Was it just me?
3 - Jordis. Again gets points for a truely original song (Marty helped her with it.) We are the champions wasn't too bad, I think that would be extremely difficult to sing for most anyone. If she can get out of the personal funk she is in, it would be refreshing.
4 - Suzie. As others have said, great voice. No rock. Points for an original. I think she hooked up with Ty. There seems more there then professional admiration. I didn't listen to the Bonnie Rait song. No offense to Bonnie Rait or Country but this is a Rock contest.
5 - Mig. Lousy. Hard to handle was not even comparible to Brandon's version let alone the Black Crows' or Otis Redding (whom many seem to forget did the original, if memory serves me.) His original will be featured in John Tesh's next Red Rocks concert.
