I need to preface these reviews with the comment that before tonight I wouldn’t have said I’m a Rolling Stones fan but I really liked a lot of those songs. I know, call me crazy.
Mike – I’m not 100% sold on Mike. I’ve complained before on his performance. It just feels a little fake to me. And I felt the dancing/moves were a little awkward. I was pointing at the TV and saying “YES” when Simon commented on it as well. I wouldn’t say it was desperate though. The guy can sing though.
Didi – Where has that Didi been? Wow. The big note was off but I felt like she was in it to win it tonight.
Casey – Yes! I loved that. I loved in particular that he smiled through the whole thing and looked like he was having fun.
Lacey – I really liked it. I wasn’t wowed and I think maybe it’s going to be forgettable but I can see myself listening to this on my iPod. On a few sidenotes, I really like her black nails and how did I miss she had a church background?
Andrew – Dude. That was not good. I agree with Randy. Too pitchy for me.
Katie – She performed that well. I’ve just decided though I’m not a fan of the tone of her voice. And wow, I’m surprised none of the judges made a wedding singer comment after that intro video. Not that I thought she sounded like one but it’s just not beneath Simon to pull that out especially with an opening. I just kept imagining Carrie Underwood in her place and those big notes would be so much easier to listen to with Carrie’s voice.
Tim – Maybe because I’m clueless about the original but I think I liked it. At least he sang it well. Why did the judges hate it? I’m confused.
Siobhan – Wow, it’s amazing. Every week I become a bigger and bigger fan of hers. She was a certified performer tonight. Definite, definite reminders of Adam Lambert there. But in a good, normal way. Finally! That’s how you are an outstanding performer on stage and then be a humble individual off stage. She’s so cute with those glasses. Ah, I’m on the Siobhan train!
Lee – I wish the guy would annunciate better. I did not understand 50% of what he just sang. I think his voice was really good. Strange for me with all the mumbling.
Paige – Is it just me or did she sound like one of the Judd’s? I think I might like the Country sound on her.
Aaron – Wow, I did not agree with the judges at all. I was bored. The performance was a little awkward. His voice was very nice in some places but overall, I’m just not a fan yet.
Crystal – I love Crystal. I love that every week you feel like you’re already watching a star.
Favorites by far: Crystal and Siobhan
In trouble this week: Andrew and Lacey

I agree with you on everybody but Siobhan and Lee 😉 My husband actually made a Judds comment tonight too, how funny is that?
What did you not like about Siobhan?
She can definitely sing, tt just seems to me like she's screaming when she belts out those notes! That was what I eventually started not liking about Adam last year too.

I agree with you on everyone but Tim. I thought that version was terrible and I was wishing he'd get booted off over Lacey. If you're not familiar with the song, look up the words to "Under my Thumb." It's actually a really harsh song. So I think turning it into a "sweet" reggae version just didn't make sense. Curious what you think after reading the lyrics 🙂
I liked Lacey's voice a lot – I didn't really like watching her perform, probably because of how Simon said she was "acting it out" but I would definitely listen to her album. I was sad to see her go quite so early, though I knew she wouldn't make it to the end.
I wanted Paige to get kicked off before I heard them sing, but I thought she surprisingly did well.
Siobhan was AWESOME. She is definitely my favorite. I loved that song and the way she performed it. I'm so glad you like her too!! 🙂
My favorites from that night are Siobhan and Didi.

In general I do not like Tim and would have been A-OK had he left last night.
