Okay, I admit, I'm a little disappointed in what songs they chose, and having watched the show, I think nearly everyone chose badly. I'm surprised at how harsh Paula was tonight, myself. Just a dull show all around, with no energy on that stage at all. The best parts were at the very end, when Ryan sang and the judges wore the masks.

Syesha, "One Rock & Roll Too Many." We are unhappy that she isn't wearing roller skates. She jumped the opening a little but she got back right on, so good job. I also thought it was a strong performance, but kinda "Smokey Joe's Pub."
Jason, "Memory." This is sooooo 70s cracktastic variety show. THIS IS WHY I WATCH THIS SHOW PEOPLE.
Brooke, "You Must Love Me." You know, I was worried about her this week, and I was right, because she isn't great at getting the meaning of the lyric across (remember "Every Breath"?). The start stop thing didn't help, either. Oh Brooke, where did you get so lost?
small David, "Think of Me." I thought it was very pleasant, which was better than anything thus far. Also I want to note that I thought that before Simon said it: totally forgettable.
Carly, "Jesus Christ Superstar." She hasn't sounded this good since the first night of the Beatles. Thank god ALW got her to change up her song.
D.Cook, "Music of the Night." So like, I really hate this song. No, really. He sounded fantastic, and I completely agree with Simon. Also? He should have suited up if he was going to do the song that straight.
