I’m upset that the girl with the troll doll hair is the best so far. It was a strange song but she sang it well. ---

I hate Heart anyway. Cool song choice for blondie here. I don’t know if anything by The Beatles – off of Sergeant Pepper – could be called obscure, but that was kind of wild. I thought it was a so-so performance, though. ---

I guess Lilly was the best so far, but only by virtue of competent performance and off the wall song choice. She’s only 20 years old? Man, it looks like it’s been a hard 20 years. ---

I’ve got to get satellite tv - it kills me to always be three hours behind you guys on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 🙂 ---

Why was Lilly wearing roach clips from her ears? Love her voice, though. ---

Oh, Katelyn. That was just…awkward. ---

Kaitlyn wasn’t bad but she wasn’t very good, either. I like her earrings. ---

More karaoke. Not terrible, juts totally forgettable. This is really amateur night. More so than I can remember so late in the game on this show. It literally does sound like a karaoke night at any given bar. ---

That was my word bubble, Kara, as it always is when you talk. ---

Katelyn needs to get that mole between her eyebrows removed instead of covering it up with makeup. It’s terribly distracting. She wasn’t bad, though. ---

Haley is pretty likeable. I hope she doesn’t fall on her ass. ---

Simon was right about Haeley. She’s sweet and all, but something about her annoys me. ---

I’d rather hear Haley sing than talk. But preferably neither. ---

“I wanna hold your hand” : Weirdest cover ever. Did she come up with that mess herself? ---

I like that she’s trtying to do something really different with this song, but I’m not sure the arrangement really works all the way. ---

I totally enjoyed Hailey’s version of I Wanna Hold Your Hand. But why is she wearing a nurse’s uniform? ---

Agree with Simon about Haley. I know she’s young so I’m trying to not be too critical. ---
