• Crystal Bowersox: One thing I will say is that I love her pitch.  Just don’t like the screaming.  100% better than last week and she does not seem as street performer.  Enjoying the emotion.  She said she wanted it to be a little more gospel in her rendition and I feel she succeeded.  Not a wowing performance but good none the less.  Randy gave good report.  Ellen did as well saying it’s raw natural talent.  I do agree.  Kara said she recovered from last week and that she hit a new level.  Simon acknowledges how sick she was and states she is a serious artist.  Compliments all the way around.
• Haeley Vaughn: A bit bubbly but let’s see how she does with her song.  She seems tense tonight and needs to loosen up a bit.  Great move in to the chorus but I’m not sure if her pitch is on.  Decent performance, I don’t think she has found her niche yet.  Once she does she could be formidable.  Randy keeping it real didn’t work for him.  ‘Excruciating, pitchy’.  Ellen says she shouldn’t stop smiling and she did not connect.  It was memorized and had no feeling.  Kara she needs about a year to strengthen her voice.  Simon blunt as always says  it was a complete and utter mess. 
• Lacey Brown: I hope we like it as well Lacey.  Starting off pitchy come on girl recover.  Better, rough start could hurt.  Once she got in the chorus it sounds good, she has decent sound and performance is over all better than last week.  A more upbeat song which makes it more enjoyable but I feel it could be forgettable to a lot of people.  Randy felt it was very Karaoke and I agree.  Ellen felt she didn’t change it up and that it was adorable and good.  Kara felt last week they were losing her tone.  Kara wants her to step it up.  Simon felt marginally better than last week and that she is participating in a contest versus showcasing her talent.  I agree whole heartedly.
• Katie Stevens: What a voice.  wow.  Boring song for me.  but I like more upbeat songs.  Pitch sounds great and the song is much more relevant to her this week than last week.  I can’t say that I’ll remember this performance come tomorrow but she did an excellent job.  Randy it had moments and that she needs to take a few more risks.  Ellen can’t believe she’s 17 and that the performance was still too old for her and not to hear what she would in her dentist office.  Kara agrees with Ellen and is frustrated.  Kara feels the end was better than beginning.  Simon ‘get some experience and tell us what kind of recording artist you want to be’ also that it was not a winning performance.
• Didi Benami:  Lean on Me by Bill Withers I love the song you better wow me girl.   No your getting swallowed up by the band.  I can barely hear you.  Chorus is a little better.  I love the way you feel the music but I must admit I’m disappointed I expected more and I know you have it in you.  Don’t know if the song was too big or what but it did not work for me.  Randy – Deep rooted soul song did not work.  Ellen – Loves her voice not the best song choice for her.  Kara – It wasn’t good.  Looking for consistency.  Simon – Bad choice of song, is frustrated, felt it was a wasted opportunity.
• Michelle Delamor: With Arms wide open by Creed very risky.  Another song I love and I know you can do it.  I love the softness in your voice.  Sounds good to me.  I’m liking it and am enjoying what you have done with it. Towards the end I feel you may have changed a tad too much but I love what you did.  Overall  I loved your performance and feel I will remember it tomorrow.  Randy – A few pitch problems. Most pos outfit.  Didn’t do enough with it.  Ellen – Did do a lot with it.  Almost worded but not quite.  Kara – Favorite of hers to this point.  Felt believable.  Simon – With Kara, thought first half was stronger than second half.  Took a risk and it paid off.
• Lilly Scott: Good voice and pitch, almost too soft in the beginning then it seems like you got into your groove and the song had a good bluesy feel to it.  I think you’ll make an awesome blues singer should you go that route.  Overall a good performance but not one I’m sure I’ll remember tomorrow. Randy – Love the unique quality, Worked it out favorite of the night.  Ellen – You have got it.  Best of the night.  Kara – You just had your first moment, riveted to see what came next.  Simon – Makes the point about being relevant and showcasing.  Thought it was good and feels Crystal was stronger.
• Katelyn Epperly:  You defiantly hit your intimacy goal.  Very sweet and enduring.  In one word Elegance.  You have a great voice and tone and the emotion in your eyes told the story to back up the lyrics.  Wonderful while not a big fan of slow songs I loved the work you did with this.  Randy – Really liked it, great until the last couple of notes.  Ellen – liked that she was playing the piano.  She fell asleep too slow.  Big note at the end woke her.  Kara – kind of loved her.  have an incredible instrument.  Figure out who you are real quick.  Simon – smart choice of song made her contemporary, worried she might become corny.
• Paige Miles:  Good pitch, not really enjoying the performance. Your doing a good job but I feel like something is just lacking.  You can hit those notes just felt very night club to me.  Randy – Liked it not over the top with it.  Not the best choice for her wants to hear longer notes.  Ellen – Disagreed with Randy and loved it.  Kara – smile and have fun but lack of the connection.  Simon – agree with randy.  Two weeks in a row bad song choice.  Strong voice with bad decisions.
• Siobhan Magnus:  Think by Aretha Franklin big song good luck girl.  You have the personality for the song, I have my foot taping right along.  Great job on the high notes.  Congratulations you are knocking it out of the park.  This is your caliber girl.  Not certain if you made your own version but you caught my attention well done.  Randy – It was dope he loved it.  Ellen – Loved it too compared her to a snuggie.  Kara – can’t get over that note.  Simon – Such a strange person as a compliment.

I have no idea who’s going home but I loved Crystal, Katelyn, and Siobhan.  Look forward to results tomorrow.
