Why is Simon “happy,” and why does Paula KNOW that Simon is “happy?” Could it be that she slipped him some of her happy pills? ---

One thing about that whole stupid exchange is that I got the feeling it was all staged-- except for Chris’ dig. And that was anger on Simon’s face. But it made for good TV so he got over it. ---

This girl is doing pretty good, but it’s kind of a boring song. What IS it with all these bland song choices so far? ---

The difference between last night and tonight is the first person out tonight looks like she belongs on stage. Not my style, but I can still recognize that, damn, that was good. ---

She did not nail that last note at all. Not bad and she saved the trilling for the end where it belongs. ---

Good ending . I think she was already better than any of the guys last night. ---

For those who don’t know what we’re all talking about, Stephanie. ---

I thought it took Stephanie a little while to get into the melody, but when she took off, wow! A touch theatrical but definately memorable. ---

A heck of an improvement over last night already - I thought Stephanie was great. Though her hair bothers me for some reason. ---

These girls are such liars. The guys were ass. ---

This Amy girl is ass, though. I expect she’ll be gone tomorrow, and that’s without seeing ten of the other girls. ---

Points off just for doing Amy Grant. Mediocre performance. Not terrible, but forgettable. ---

Unlike Pauler, I do not remember Amy. Nope. Not my cuppa. And it sounded off to me. ---

Amazing. This is two nights in a row where Paula has been coherent and useful in her critiques. I wonder if they secretly detoxed her. ---

Way to butcher classic Carole King with sour notes, Leslie. Oy. ---

How come she gets backup singers? No fair. Performance is karaoke. Mildly ok frill at the end. ---

I enjoyed that but-- always a but-- I like my big girl voices and she does not have a big girl voice. OMG! I agree with Randy. That never happeneds.
