Bucky was the best so far tonight. But Simon’s right about the hair–scary. ---

Bucky made me smile. Maybe it wasn’t the greatest, but I enjoyed it (but not the hair!). ---

Someone needs to kick Pauler in her random quotation-generating processor chip. On the other hand, I agree with Simon. I amend my previous post and say Bucky was the best so far…which isn’t saying a whole lot, but makes me feel better about Bucky beating Gedeon and (sniff) Will. ---

Ouch. Melissa sounds really raw, and really, _really_ out of tune. ---

Another one bites the dust. ---

Ayla’s sitting at home thinking, “I lost to _that_?” ---

Perhaps Melissa should have gotten some sleep. Has she _gotten_ any lyrics right? Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy… eek. ---

She should try to remember what the key is while she’s at it. ---

Melissa sucks. At least Alya could sing. ---

Melissa sounded ok, what did she sing? ---

And Paula again compliments her on how she looks. Man, if that isn’t the kiss of death. ---

Terrible. Clearly, Simon is drinking Paula’s Kool-Aid. ---

I like her voice a lot, she just always seems to do something wrong. ---

Lisa – by far the best tonight. I just wish the sound was handled better. ---

Nobody’s sounding very good to me tonight. Even my favorites. Well Bucky and Elliot sounded nice. Everyone else is disappointing me. ---

Lisa sings like one of those robots in the Hall of Presidents at Disney World. She is so Stepford and perfect-looking and boring. _Sigh._ Why is all this Stevie music _boring_ me? _I love Stevie!_ ---

Batsinma Belfry nailed it: Only Stevie can sing Stevie. All of these performances are incredibly boring. These songs aren’t boring when Stevie sings them.
