OMG!! The one thing you learn is complete and total respect for a talent like Steveie Wonder. His songs are really, really tough to sing, so I'm not surprised that almost everyone had a tough time staying on pitch.

Ace - pleasant voice, very cute, but nothing spectacular. Not bad enough to be voted off, despite what DC says.

Pickler - zzzzzzzzzzzz

Elliott - perfectly on pitch, hit every note, not thrilled with the song, but how cute was he when he cried because he was sitting next to Stevie Wonder?

Mandisa - Not horrible, but not her usual great performance.

Bucky - Not as bad as I expected.

Melissa - as bad as I expected.

Lisa - she just doesn't inspire me. I can't say that anything was specifically wrong with that performance, but it didn't do it for me.

Kevin - far worse than I expected.

Katherine - as good as I expected.

Taylor and Paris - Missed it because I was gluing my daughter's Joan of Arc poster for History class. Damn those children!!!

Chris - the only truly awesome performance of the night, at least that I caught. He was as amazing as always.
