Stevie Wright Even weaker than Brent. I could barely here her when she started. I’ve literally seen better prformances in high school musicals. ---

Wow. Stevie was . . . wretched. How the hell did she get this far? Terrible voice. ---

Oww that young chick was bad! Stevie? Not Good. ---

Stevie’s performance was cringeworthy. But really, why are Ted Danson and NPH there?? ---

Anoop-Dog! Never heard this song before. Sounds kind of pussy, hope it gets better. I like Anoop, but this is really boy band. Kind of disappointing. He should have rocked the Bobby Brown again. I don’t get the song choice. I don’t think that was the best he could have done, but I hope he makes it anyway. ---

Terrible song choice. I don’t get why dudes do lady songs. ---

I wanted this chick to be good. But she’s really not. And such strange facial contortions! It’s really just a campy, second-tier cruise ship performance, and I was writing that line before the odd modulated ending. ---

Oh Jesus, I hate it when they switch genders on songs. Plus, she sounds like a bad pageant. ---

This girl works near where I work and I’ve been served by her in the tea shop where she works. Based on this performance I’ll see her again. ---

Casey Carlson She seems really nervous. Ouch. This is really amateurish. I almost feel bad for her. She shouldn’t be up there. She’s not a pro. ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > I missed what the judges had to say about Anoop, can anyone fill me in? They said he was sharp and they bagged on the song choice, but that he still had a good chance to slide through on likability and past performance. ---

It’s tragic for someone to work so hard to get to this point…and then to deliver that awful rendition of “Every Little Thing He Does.” ---

I think TMZ’s mole painted an accurate picture of Casey Carlson’s performance: > [@](#): > > Casey Carlson was the worst, with a “Sarah Palin-esque type performance full of winks and poses.” And that was the rehearsal performance. I guess it didn’t get any better, but I still think Stevie was worse. ---
