1. Jason Castro: Whoa, his "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," accompanied by a ukulele, was sweet and -- for once -- brimming with real emotion and great vocal chops. I want to see more of this Jason Castro.
2. David Archuleta: Although his vocals really shone at the end, I abhor the song "Angel." Still, he brought a lot of his usual power and warmth to the tune.
3. Syesha Mercado: The judges chided her for singing a Fantasia song, minus the Fantasia emotional connection. Gotta agree. Although her voice sparkles, the performance was rather empty.
4. David Cook: Ah, David fell short of his performances from weeks past. It was actually boring.
5. Brooke Smith: Her "You Got A Friend" was so horribly boring.
6. Carly Smithson: Screamy McScreamy strikes again, this time with a Queen classic. Yet foregoes singing the very last note. A pitchy, screamy mess. And what the heck was she wearing?
7. Michael Johns: OK, Paula? Your Chihuahuas being able to hear Michael's piercing shrieks on "Dream On" isn't a good thing. Awful. Glad the judges finally brought him down a peg. Sadly, his head's gotten so big, he brushed off their criticisms.
8. Kristy Lee Cook: Of course she did a country song with religious overtones. Maybe if we just stop talking about her she'll go away.
