01 - Paris Bennet 

She is soooooooooo cute! What an entertainer - a 17 year old ball of fire!

 I loved her from the beginning - tonight she looks great and sang better than good. I do think she has more in her though. My ONLY concern is that she may be getting a bit of a cocky attitude, which I do not find attractive.

I think all the judges are a bit hard on her because they know how talented she really is and don’t feel she is doing as well as she can.

02 - Lisa Tucker. FABULOUS! 16 years old and a fantastic singer. Nice. Gorgeous. - I’d say she is in the running for sure. Judges a bit hard I think.

03 - Melissa McGhee. I just do not like this girl! I thought she looked terrible tonight, I loved the song she sang (because I love Heart) but didn’t like her rendition - at all. I was shocked that Randy and Paula liked her. I agree with Simon - “your plane ticket out”.

—————

04 - Kennick Sky. Can we say OFF - KEY? Terrible. Sorry, just BAD.  (again, I find myself agreeing with Simon - “plane ticket home”. )

05 - Katharine McPhee.  Very Cute, and I think she is just sexy enough without over-doing it.  I loved her clothes - great shirt, great jeans! And - she can sing! AWESOME.

06 - Ayla Brown. 17 years old. Nice girl - Just not impressed.

—————

07 - Mandisa - “I’m Every Woman”.

I LOVE HER!  She has got it ALL going on - mature, controlled voice, awesome stage presence. She’s had all that from the begining. Mandisa is better than any one of the girls this season, in my opinion.

Sad thing is I don’t see her winning simply because she is a large woman - I hope I am wrong, but I think there is a prejudice against “largeness” - especially in America.

08 - Kellie Pickler.  Where’s our little country singer? Why is she singing  Melissa Ethridge? Because she is a “naughty little minx” , says Simon. I agree, “not the best singer” but ya know - she’s got something!

She did great - but me thinks she isn’t nearly as much of a dumb country girl as she portrays - smart marketer, perhaps?

The Vote-Off:

I think it’s between Ayla, Kinnick, and Melissa.
