Cute doggie! Such a well-behaved little bugger that Chopper is. Which is what you would expect from Gilby's dog.
House Band killed it again. I'm always so impressed with them. And I'm always so surprised by how good they really are.

1. Ryan - Back of Your Car - I love this song. I love his passion. Yay for House Band for doing it so well. Extra props to the gorgeous Jimmy for doing the little dance move for my Mr. Lustmuffin. I love how his voice can change to that high "ooooo" thingy so simply and effortlessly and then go back to the intense swoonworthy voice that I adore. I can't tell you how many shades of excited I am that this song was on international television. And my heart is warmed knowing he had friends (including the bassist from Stage) in the audience. Best performance of the season.
2. Lukas - All These Things That I Have Done - Baby got edged out because Ryan performed the best song to ever appear on this show in two seasons. But hotdamn Luke killed it. I loved the looking in Rafi's mirrored guitar. Such charisma this boy has. I love his voice. I love his stage presence. I love his hair. I love his smile. It brightens up his entire face and makes it (impossibly) even more beautiful. He knows where the good television camera angles are too. That, I firmly believe, is why he kept going back to face Nate. That's okay, baby, I like seeing the lighting on you over the drum kit.
3. Toby - Layla - I enjoyed his take on this song. *smacks Gilby* I enjoyed him ripping his hoody off. I think this was his best performance to date. Even better than week one's KOHD which I didn't think was possible for him to pull off. So cute when he got uncomfortable without his shirt when the song was over. I wish the part where Lukas tweaked his nipples was shown on television. *pout*
4. Magni - Smells Like Teen Spirit - I wasn't sure if I liked this better than Storm's Cryin or not, so I rewatched their performances (and Ryan's, Toby's and Lukas'). I liked this better than Storm's simply because I love his voice and the angst really showed through.
5. Storm - Cryin' - Crazy-eyed Storm is finally back. Yay! I love this woman. I just think the boys were much better tonight. Love her interaction with the band.
6. Patrice - Beautiful Thing - mad props to Patty P. This was a very good song. She should be on the radio. She's incredibly talented and professional. I wish good things for her.
7. Dilana - Every Breath You Take - I heard that she did different things with her voice tonight but I didn't hear anything different. zzzzzzz Just because she's at the bottom of my list, doesn't mean I didn't like it at all though. I just liked everybody else more (because they're better, IMO). Maybe because I was hoping for the scary stalker version of the song. But awww, it was for her mom. *rolls eyes* Whatthefvckever Those pink eyelashes? ew. But her hair looked beautiful.

ETA: I really miss our lovely Zayra. I'm listening to her as I'm voting for my lustmuffin.
