Uneven job for the guy on piano. Parts of it were very outstanding and then parts of it were ghastly.

Saw Lauren Koslow in the audience. Again, it is like playing Where's Waldo with the audience.

Adam got back to the crap I didn't like about him: the screeching, heavy make-up, rocker wannable. HOWEVER, he is going to stand out because his song is going to be so different than everyone else's that you remember it. Also it was a lot better than Black or White. Don't think I would ever be 100% a fan of his, but again he got my attention...even it was to say WTF.

I bet that the people Simon don't critique will be in the Bottom 3.

What's with all the slow love songs tonight? LoL.

DANNY - I hate the way he holds the microphone. It almost looks... dirty. Anyway, this song is boring and so is his performance. Vocally, it's decent. But again... boring.

Matt was okay. I think that is a hard song to sing and he did lose it in places. I remember Chris Daughtry performed that song. I forget who the mentor was, but they had him lay on the floor to sing it. It was to help him push out the notes stronger where he was singing with the diaphragm and not his throat. So his notes were a lot stonger which was missing from Matt tonight.

Because they don't realize that there are upbeat songs in a movie. There always tends to be weeks where most of the songs are slower songs. I bet for most of the performers picking a slower song is actually easier than more of an upbeat.

Although after Danny sang Endless Love, I wish they would have a duet week. I think it would be interesting because maybe they could perform with another top 12 or they could bring in a contestant of their choosing.

What makes you think that? It's an interesting theory so just wondering.

I think they are all taking slow songs because they are safe songs. After the past few weeks where it was tough at times, I think they all are just trying to impress. This has actually been a pretty good night this far IMO. Best night of the top 12. Maybe it helps that I know alot of the songs though LOL.

Danny was ok. Cheesy as we all expected. I was so happy Simon made the point about how Danny didn't do anything else with the song and that he brought up what David Cook did last year. Say what you want about the others but they've all gone outside their comfort zones and have taken risks. Danny hasn't. He's always content staying with the same old melody and does very little that is mind blowing or different. Glad Simon brought it up and that Paula pointed out the beginning of the song, which was lacking. He picked it up around the middle and end because when he goes high he's amazing, as always, but his lower register sucks IMO. He's just ordinary and that isn't good enough to win this or it shouldn't be.

Oh, god, I hate this song this guy is singing. Couldn't stand the real version and I'm sure this one is going to suck, too.

Danny's song was a subliminal "remember my dead wife" message. The camera also panned up to the guy who held up the dead wife's picture during the semi-finals. Puke.

KRIS - I loved it! Very pretty vocals, pretty song, and his voice was so clear from beginning to end. He hit some awesome notes near the end. Loved it! Best performance of the night so far.

Bahaha @ Ryan cutting off Kara. She barely got two words in. :)

Yeah I don't get it. I really liked it. Might even be a song I purchase off of iTunes. Very simple and sweet along with really good vocals.

LOL Just checked my DVR. When they went to the commercial it was at 55 minutes. And we still have one singer and the recap.

I think she meant "not a song played on pop radio."

Kris was great. Beautiful song and beautiful vocal. I agree with Kara it was a risk taking on an obscure song like that but he made it work. I'm glad Ryan cut Kara off. All she needed to say was what she said and it said it all.

I also like the band on the stage. The sound tonight with the performances is pretty good.

Maybe the show would not need to be rushed if they hadn't wasted 8 minutes at the start of the show on judge's and Ryan banter and the Quentin Tarantino intro piece. DUH!!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on that, Kenny. We saw the guy who held up the picture and Simon hinted at how emotional Danny was. I feel bad for him but it's just...ugh.

Am I the only one who is sick of Randy saying "For me, for you?"

Is this girl rewriting the song as she's going along?
