Amanda Overmyer, 23
Mulberry, IN
"Back in the U.S.S.R."
Amanda did not do a very good job on her song. The arrangment just wan't good. Once again, she had that strained voice that I just don't like.Randy: "For me, I got to give you a 7 out of 10 for that."
Paula: "The timing was a little off but when you connect, you are essential, authentic, who you are."
Simon: "It was what it was. It was predictable, it was a bit of a mess in parts, it's just the same week after week. You are in danger of becoming actually a bit boring.
Kristy Lee Cook, 24
Selma, OR
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"
I felt the song was pitchy and the performance was quite boring. She didn't do much.
Randy: "It flet a little boring and really safe and I'm not even sure you were singing the melody in the chorus right."
Paula: "It was a little safe."
Simon: "I think you need something like hypnosis because the problem is that you're not a good performer. The last 2 seconds were okay. It's like musical wall paper - you notice it but you can't remember it."
David Archuleta, 17
Murray, UT
"The Long And Winding Road"
David has a good voice but the performance just didn't have the "WOW" factor.Randy: David Archuleta has brought the hotness back to his game tonight with that one."
Paula: "This probably for me is the most exciting and wonderful performance."
Simon: "Last week was a complete mess, this week I thought you were amazing."
Michael Johns, 29
Buckhead, GA
"A Day In The Life"
Although last week I didn't know who Michael John was, I liked the first part of his song. But then it went downhill in the middle and then good at the end. Not bad at all.Randy: "It wasn't your best performance."
Paula: "I was able to catch a little of your dress rehearsal and you were phenomenal then."
Simon: "It was a mess. You didn't hit the right notes and the song went all over the place."
Brooke White, 24
Mesa, AZ
"Here Comes The Sun"
I like Brooke but I just didn't care for her song choice nor her performance.
Randy: "That performance was really awkward for me for the first time for you."
Paula: "You can't help but smile when you watch you and listen to you sing."
Simon: "I thought the performance was terrible. From the horrible dancing to the absolute lack of conviction. It was wet. It was forgettable."
David Cook, 23
Blue Springs, MO
"Day Tripper"
Just like the other performances thus far, David's performance did nothing for me. But his performance has been the only star-like one so far.
Randy: "It's like going to another song at a David Cook concert. I don;t know if it was your best performance but it's another solid look for David Cook. I love it."
Paula: "There's not really much anyone else can say because you're ready to go sale records."
Simon: "I don't think that was as good as you thought it was actually. You looked a bit smug throughout. You've lost your element of surprise a little bit."
Carly Smithson, 24
San Diego, CA
"Blackbird"
Another boring performance. But Carly does have an excellent voice.
Randy: "Another great performance. Very nice, very controlled, very emotive. I love that man. Very nice."
Paula: "You have an amazing tone to your voice. The arrangement was beautiful."
Simon: "You chose a song about a blackbird. I don't think that was a very smart thing to do. Becuase I thought the song was indulgent. I didn't like the song at all."
Jason Castro, 20
Rockwall, TX
"Michelle"
I just can't understand why Jason Castro is still in this competition. I just don't think he's a very good performer or singer.
Randy: "I was very subdued by you this time. I don't know. I don't know if I really got it. It was just alright for me."
Paula: "You have a very distinct charm about you. It was just a little uncomfortable for me."
Simon: "Your face sold that. If I was just listening to that French/English version on the radio, it would be off."
Syesha Mercado, 21
Sarasota, FL
"Yesterday"
Syesha is my girl. She just seems like a really cool and fun person. She did well on her song but the performance - like all the others - was boring.
Randy: "In my estimation - very, very, very good performance tonight."
Paula: "That vulnerability is really where you need to be because that sets you a part from everyone else. The only thing I would work on is connecting more with your eyes and really connecting with the audience."
Simon: "Syesha, I thought that was probably your best performance so far. It wasn't incredible but you chose the best song. I thought you sung the song very very well."
Chikezie, 22
Englewood, CA
"I've Just Seen A Face"
Horrible performance. I hate to say that because I think Chikezie is really good. I hope his peformance doesn't get him voted off.
Randy: "There was some good parts for me and some bad parts for me."
Paula: "You're showing who you are. I get a whole scope of who you are and I love you. You did it again."
Simon: "I thought it started off okay and then you played the harmonica which was literally atrocious and then it turns into achy breaky heart at the end. I thought it was gimmacky."
Ramiele Malubay, 20
Miramar, FL
"I Should Have Known Better"
My first impression of this performance was a high school musical.
Randy: "You showed that confidence that I know is in there. It was alright. You did your thing."
Paula: "Definitely better than last week."
Simon: "It sounded very amatuerish."
