Chris reminds me of Jim Carrey with his goof facial expressions. His jaw always looks crooked. He did well. I just can't stand watching him.

Kris: Good performer. Not just singing someone else's song. Good job tonight.

I spend this weekend watching season 1 of American Idol (I never watched the first two seasons.) I think that was a bad idea. I'm getting contestants confused in my head. I feel out of sorts!

Scott: very well-trained voice. Very good singer but again, just doesn't seem to be someone who could win this contest.

I wasn't that impressed with the singing with Scott. His piano playing is amazing though.

I didn't care much for him singing that song but I thought his voice was good if that makes sense.

Yeah, he does have a nice tone to his voice. But, I'm always more impressed with the fact he teaches himself the songs on the piano in such a short time. And, that his fingers can even more that fast when he can't see the keys.

Megan seemed to struggle in the early part of the song but seemed to do better later on. She rocks Rock
Not my favorite performance by her. Judge's save was designed for someone like her this week.

I love Megan; however, I didn't care for her tonight. I loved that she actually moved for a change. So, her feet really aren't cemented on the same spot!

But, she's hawt!

Anoop: Hard to find anything to criticize. Great job tonight. He's just not my favorite.

My kids fav is Anoop. Me, not so much. But he has a nice voice. He just reminds me too much of a guy named Anup that my friend dated laugh out loud They look so much alike.

Michael: Reminded me of a karaoke performance. A good one but still...

Good singer but a very average performance.

Sounds like he had what Megan had the week before, as far as being sick.

Lil: Great song for her I thought. She sings the hell out of everything she sings. She's not my favorite but a great performance. One of the best so far tonight.
