Jordin: Sings Pat Benetar. Gives a spirited, coltish performance. She's cute and young, two things that work in her favor. Very flat in spots and appears to be reigning herself in instead of lettin' us have it. It was at those times that she went flat. Is she scared of what she could do with that big voice?
Sabrina: I don't know this song and don't think it's very coherent. I heard most of it as being off-key, but that could have been the song, not her singing. I agree with the judges that she was shouting at the same level instead of using her voice to color the song. Think the makeup that they are using on her nose is helping her appearance!
Skankarella: Simon was right. She cannot get better. I dislike that open-mouthed Tourette's syndrome wink she does several times during the song. Noticeably off-key in many spots. I don't think it's wise of Her Skankiness to sing big hits. All I can do is think of the original artist and how they must be LOLing when they hear her version. Honey, your 15 minutes are up.
Haley: I'm sure she's a nice enough person, but she is just not right for this competition. If they had some kind of Amy Grant sing-alike hour, I'm sure she'd do well. Next!
Stephanie: Great dress! I like the song and she sang it well. She sounds just like Beyonce; I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. She's cool, polished and looks like she's having a great time singing for the studio audience, not just the camera.
Lakisha: This song sounded like "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going"- Lite. She's got a thing for that defiant groove. It fits her like a glove. And I thought she looked very nice. Classy.
Gina: Girl, you better go out there and do some aerobics, cause you ran out of breath half way through! She can rock, but she was overly physical at the beginning of the song. She should have built it up slowly so that she had something left by the "YO!" part of the song. I'm not a big fan of Evanescence; in fact, I liked Gina better than the original.
Melinda: This one is a joy to see. She makes you believe what she's singing every week. And those shoes were fierce!) To me, she's the most complete performer that we've seen on Idol since Kelly. The only thing she's lacking is the knock-out looks...
