Hmm. Not really crazy about this performance. Melissa was yelling, and she was completely flat, which is unfortunate, because she could have been great. _Lurve_ the outfit, though. Very Jessica Sierra. ---

I thought Melissa was pretty good. ---

I can’t be objective when it comes to Heart. If Melissa says “You know " one more time. . .” ---

I thought Melissa was okay, not great, but not as bad as Simon said. I’m disappointed that Paula seems sober tonight. ---

Big Bucking Chicken? Is that what that commercial is saying? ---

I love Lisa! The guitar thing was awesome. I wish they hadn’t straightened her hair, though, she was so stunning and now she look a lot plainer. Melissa is a real dark-horse. I didn’t even know she existed until the top 24 and at first I thought she’d be another Becky O’Donohue type. But she gets better each week and I thought she was great tonight. I love her vocal quality. ---

Why does Ryan keep picking on poor Kevin Covais? Not nice, Seacrest! Give the poor little tadpole a break, will you? ---

What in the world is wrong with the girls. Kinnick is killing this song. ---

I think this may be it for Kinnik. I like her voice, but it’s too jazzy for Idol. ---

KarlGrenze, I’m with you – everybody sounds sub-par tonight, and I do think the band might have something to do with it. Maybe they all have the Singapore-Sling-swine flu or something … No, Kinnik! _Don’t admit you weren’t perfect!_ **Gaaaaah!** Have you learned _nothing_? ---

I thought Kinnik was better than Paris tonight at least for picking a song that doesn’t suck. ---

McGee or McVee or whatever is the best tonight so far. That’s not saying much, I know. ---

Oh, Kat, connecting yourself in any way with The Constantine? Oh, just … _no_. At least you sound good, if … _listless_. Technically phenomenal, but … I don’t know, rhythmless or something. Perfect pitch can’t make you Aretha, sadly. But you’re the best so far, so good on you. ---
