1. Crystal--best vocal of the night. Performance wise, a bit unsteady at first with the piano. But she tried. I rewound her part and listened a few times. Very nice, Crystal, and I am glad you showed your versatility.

** I am worried that Crystal is getting the Melinda Doolittle treatment from the judges. Short shrift in the praise department. And didn't Simon learn from season 6 that Melinda wound up as third place? Give Crystal her proper props, judges! **

2. Lee--most improved of the ten. Right on schedule. ;)

3. Casey--I know his voice isn't as good as Crystal's but darn it, he entertains! Keep it up, Casey, I loved how you enjoyed yourself. And it seems like the musicians on AI like him, too.

--gap--

4. Michael--I appreciate his going to a quiet song to show some versatility. Over pimped, though, with Ryan asking Usher to weigh in on Michael's performance, but hey, when has AI been fair?

--gap--

Any of these can leave anytime and I won't mind except for Siobhan:

5. Tim--weak start and weak when you sang softly. Enjoyed it when you used your full voice. There was a Michael Buble-esque quality about you in those parts. And phooey on the judges, you just don't fit their agenda this year. Disney, however, may have a place for you. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean it in a grow up and develop your skills way; a good experience perhaps.

6. Andrew--improvement versus your previous but not as good as you should be to be on AI. Very good song choice--current, and popular. People sometimes vote as much for the song as the contestant.

7. Siobhan --good effort but fell short of the mark. I know you can deliver much more.

8. Katie--I know you can sing well but you seem like Kat McPhee #2. Overpimped.

9. Didi--all kinds of wrong. Get the judges out of your head and do what YOU want, Didi.

10. Aaron--sigh. Why are you on the show and not someone else with more talent? The pimp spot was a total gift last night. And please, don't do any more of the songs Kris did last year. Please leave some of the memories intact.
