Here we go!!!

1 - Casey James - Jealous Guy - This was Casey's first, and hopefully not last, "moment". Brilliant obscure song choice, brilliant simple arrangement, and brilliant delivery. As Crystal reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, Casey reminds me of Bo Bice. This guy is gaining ground fast. Watch out.

2 - Crystal - Come Together - Another solid performance from Crystal, yet I think she is still holding back on her potential. If you can do that with a cold, and after a diabetes attack a few weeks ago, imagine her at full throttle completely healthy. I think we still haven't see Crystal at 100% yet.

3 - Michael Lynche - Eleanor Rigby - Loved it. Simply loved it. My favorite from him so far. Yes, at times a bit over the top, but that seems to be Michael.

4 - Andrew Garcia - Can't Buy Me Love - I loved his arrangement, but as Ellen said, not everyone will. Not sure where he will fall this week. I'm a bit worried.

5 - Siobhan - Across The Universe - Yes, it was sleepy and a bit boring, but we saw the restrained side of Siobhan and I thikn it was a wise choice for her at this time.

6 - Tim Urban - All My Loving - Yes, i'm not putting him in the bottom 3. He gave a solid performance that was entertaining. I liked his beginning guitar-only arrangement, and the performance was his best yet.

7 - Lee DeWyze - I didn't get it. That was the pimp spot? After last week, I was expecting more. I think he wasted some momentum. His pitch was off alot, he missed a couple cues, he seemed completely out of it, and then the bagpipes. WTH?

8 - Katie - Let It Be - I don't get the tongue baths. Something about her voice grates on me. I think she sang it too high. Don't get it.

9 - Aaron - Long & Winding Road - terrible song selection, and you sang it karaoke. Poor song selection for a couple weeks straight. I think you're in trouble.
