Jackob sure was a bit cowed tonight, wasn't he? I'm glad he was called out for his remark in the package last week. I don't care for him at all.

I missed Paul and Lauren's performances. I'm only upset about one of those. Guess which one?

I love Casey, but I'm worried about him with that song choice. Not picking easily recognizable songs has been the downfall of many contestants. He would have done Phil Collins so well too. Pity.

Haley's on a downward spiral for me. I just care less and less for her. She relies too much on the growl. Show me something more.

Scotty is well, Scotty. He'll have a record contract whether he wins or not. He's not my favorite or anywhere near my favorite, but I do recognize the talent that's there. The way he holds the mic really gets on my nerves though. I don't know why; it just does.

Stefano did well tonight, but his pipes are just not as strong as most of the others. He's in a losing battle, though her performed well tonight.

James really pushed it tonight. There's a fine line between standing one's ground on artistic integrity and dissing those helping you. He's toeing it. I did like his song though I worry that folks will remember the guitar solo more than his vocals. I think he'll get through but I hope he's not headed down the road to Cockyville.
