When I saw the song choices I really thought last night was going to blow. And I was half right as in most cases the covers were pretty darn bland compared to last week where most of the rockers had very strong showings. But, was very pleasantly surprised with the originals, so that kept me tuned in 'til the end. As I saw the night:

1. Storm. I really think she kicked it up large (pardon the pun) last night, especially with her original. And she really does have the best voice in the competition IMO.

2. Toby. Thought his crowd interaction was fantastic last night and his original was an instant hit.

3. Lukas. Was very much waiting for Lukas to "break it out" on LOAP. Kept waiting...and waiting...didn't happen. That said, I think he redeemed himself on his original. Dude - no more taking a song on a double dog dare mkay?

4. Magni. Where oh where has the Magni that sang "Fire" gone?
Love. love, love ya, but you are too bland for me.

5. Dilana. I almost turned off the telly when you were carried out on stage last night. Good grief, can you get any more melodaramtic? Sadly, it has really clouded my judgement of her talent. I really couldn't get over my bias for her. They shoot horses don't they? Let's put this one out of her misery.

I sooooooo missed Ryan last night. Enough so that I re-watched his performance from last week about 4 more times last night. *Sigh*.
