Well, another mediocre night in a mediocre season. Not much to get excited about, not much to slit ones wrists over. One shining light, one unmitigated disaster, and a whole mess of MEH in between.

On a good note, however, Miley Cyrus was not the total train wreck I expected. She stayed within her little area of knowledge and did not try to put herself off as something more than she is. I thought her advice, while light, was pretty spot on to be honest. She didn’t sugar coat, and wasn’t afraid to make suggestions.

I still wish they would have stuck with TEEN IDOLS, as the prospect of much carnage, cheese and trainwrecks would have been off the chart.

Anyway, here are my ranking, not that there is much reason to rank this seasons steaming pile of whatever.

1. Crystal Bowersox – Me and Bobby McGee – Did the PINK arrangement of the song, and let’s face it, Crystal is in a totally different league than the rest of these performers. This was a virtuoso performance, and looked like the one star among a group of wannabees.

2. Michael Lynche – When A Man Loves a Woman – I thought this was an absolutely beautiful performance. Awesome? No. Earth-shattering? No. In front of a fire, chilled wine on the table, and your best lady next to you. HELL YES.

3. Siobhan Magnus – Superstition – First half, amazing. Second half, good, but I am with Simon, she did not need the gratuitous scream just before the end. The final note was awesome, but the SCREECH right before ruined an otherwise outstanding performance.

4. Casey James – The Power of Love – Personally, I think Casey just made himself a definite top 5 player with this performance. I thought it was a huge step forward for Casey. Still not sold on the power of his vocals, but the whole package of singing and guitar is working.

5. Lee Dewyze – The Letter – Much improvement for Lee. I thought this was his best performance to date, but still a lot of pitch and nerve issues. He is improving however, and could be the one that comes from the pack to make a top 3 or 4 run this season.

6. Katie Stevens –Big Girls Don’t Cry –This was Katie’s best performance by far, but it also highlighted the limitations in her voice. She has an amazingly beautiful sweet spot in her voice, but her range is almost non-existant. She is one of those middle of the pack that never breaks out contestants.

7. Andrew Garcia – I Heard it Through the Grapevine – This was not bad, but it was also not great. Just like Katie, Andrew did good, but also showcased the limitations of his range and voice.

8. Didi Benami – You’re No Good – I really wanted to love this performance. It had huge potential, and had some really wonderful spots, but in the end Didi’s nerves once again did her in. I love her voice, and am rooting for her, but much like Brooke White she needs to get a hold of her nerves.

9. Tim Urban – Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Ok I know this is ironic in its wording, but how can one totally emasculate Queen? Tim took a great song and turned it into a Boy Band ditty. Tim sang well, but just like last week totally missed the mark.

10. Aaron Kelly – I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing – Well if tim Emasculated Queen, Aaron took Aerosmith and turned them into a group of off-key nasally whiney little b*tches. This was a totally torturous disaster from note one. How anyone can like this whiney crybaby singing is beyond me. This was pure out and out rubbish.

11. Paige Miles – Against All Odds – I like Paige, and I think she has a beautiful voice. Unfortunately that voice is shot, and has no hopes of getting better as it needs rest. This was a complete total utter disaster. I hate it for her, but this was just horrible.

Should go – PAIGE. Her voice is toast.

Will go – PAIGE. Her voice is toast and she is too.
