I closed my eyes and listened to Mike, because I wanted to hear how he'd sound on a record, or the radio. I don't really like him sometimes, his personality - so I just want to listen to him. I was really impressed by how he sounds. He really does have a good voice. Yeah, the whole thing was old-fashioned. But, I think, it was true to who he is. I don't think he's a modern r&b singer. But he does have to be who he is, and I think he's doing that.

You're right that Crystal appears so much better than the others and it's boring that there's not a lot of competition. I didn't care about her song choice at all, but she's just so good. There's no "wow" though. She took a song I was expecting her to do and did what I expected her to do with it. I want her to do MORE! Maybe she'll surprise me with her big plans next week.

I thought there was "wow." Her voice is really great and she's effortless. But she does stay kind of within a narrow framework.

Andrew is not good tonight. It's not that he's not good. I feel sure he is. But this song is not the kind of thing he should be doing. I'm not even sure he should be on this show. It's a bad showcase for him. Or at least it's bad if he has no clue how to showcase himself on the show. I mean, I know there are songs he could do that would give him a moment. I don't know what they are, but he should know. If he stood still, played guitar, sang some heartfelt thing, that would be enough. Like Mitch MacDonald doing I Love This Town.

Yes, you're right. And really, compared to all these pretty bad people, Crystal is AMAZING! Maybe I'm asking more from her because I believe she can deliver. The others? Not so much. But, yeah, she has to go outside what you called her narrow framework.

Andrew will soon have to be put out of his misery. I agreed with Simon. He took all the soul out of that song. He sounded like a robot. Not good.

I used to love this show. Not so much right now, these people are so ordinary.

Oh, I see Miley's wearing Daisy Dukes. My mistake.

Katie...oy. Spare me. I don't need this.

That was her best performance so far. Ellen was right. But she still wasn't very good.

Ugh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Because I'm sitting here bored by the show. How did they go SO wrong this year in picking the Top 24? No one better than this auditioned? I guess it's possible. There was low attendance at the auditions this year.

The Kara-Simon talk about whether she should do pop or country is so annoying, because I think a singer, even a 16 year old, should knowwhat kind of singer she is. At least Aaron seems to know what kind of music he likes.

Wow, Katie sings a song from THIS decade! Of course, it's a song that I hate. Considering that, I guess she did good-ish. I don't enjoy her tone though, it's not clear or something, I can't really put it into words. There's like some treble missing.

It sounds like she's still growing into her voice. But her tone is just not great, I doubt it ever will be. It's "flat". It's not interesting or thrilling. I guess I can't put it into words either.

Casey. I think he's a good singer and he's radio-friendly. He chooses the dullest songs, though. And he's so dull onstage. But unlike some of the others, he sings on pitch and he actually has a singing style.

Here goes Simon again. He makes criticisms that are hard to argue with, but it's like he's choosing to find what's negative, not like there was nothing positive at all. He's right but he'd also be right if he praised the singing.

I'm with Simon. The Power of Love, are you kidding me? I don't need this. I totally zoned out on Casey. So so so uninteresting and unoriginal. He sang well, sure. But I literally got up the couch while he was singing because I was so exasperated.

Hey, isn't there usually a second Kris commercial by now??

I know what you're saying but Casey at least sings better than Paige, Tim, Aaron, Andrew, and maybe Lee. So I have to give him some credit, in this horrible group.

Didi. Jeez, this is exactly like what she sang last week. The anger, the attitude, the moves, etc.

These contestants should stop trying to have fun on stage, because it's obviously not working for them. They should try to be good.

I liked Didi's voice on that (I didn't really hear "pitchy-ness"), but I agreed with Kara and Simon, that character she's playing, I don't like it. So fake.

I know. She sounds good. And the "character" thing is strange. I need these people to do something real. Heartfelt. All this other stuff is not anything. Leave your heart on the stage.

Is that Siobhan? I don't recognize her. (Speaking of playing characters).

I think she over-reaches. I don't need screaming. I think she's forcing.

Funny how no one ever criticized Adam screaming.

And now to the voting. The thing is, I wish I could vote against someone. I can't vote for nine or ten people so that Paige and Tim will go home. Who do I vote for?

Superstitious? Arrghhh!

Siobhan, the screeching HAS got to go. Otherwise, I don't mind you.

I say don't vote. Not worth it. Also? Kris in the stupid house in half an hour.
