Here is my ever so humble opinion on last night's performances:

Mandisa - You are awesome beyond awesome. I agree with Randy that I had to pity anyone who came after that performance. You also looked absolutely beautiful, and whoever picked out your dress should pick your clothes every week.

Bucky - meh. Just stop with the meh.

Paris - excellent job, although I wish whoever picked out your clothes would just STOP. You look like a little girl playing dress up in your mother's clothes. I almost expected her shoes to be three sizes too big, you know what I mean?

Chris - Good performance, but it was not "original", it was ripped off from Live's version of Walk the Line.

Katherine - Although I've been a big fan, I did not love her performance last night.

Taylor - Again, usually a big fan, but that was also meh.

Lisa - I don't know why I can't connect with this girl. She's so very pretty, and she has a lovely voice, but each performance leaves me bored.

Kevin - For once, I did not hate The Blinking Fetus. He did a decent job with this song, but I still find him annoying.

Elliot - You are too, too awesome. That song was fabulous. And you're looking better, too.

Pickler - Oh, Mig, you are so right. I heard this sort of "whirring" sound while she was performing, and realized that it was Patsy Cline spinning in her grave. That was all kinds of bad. And would you forget the mink already! It wasn't that funny to begin with, much less as a running gag!! The only good thing about your performance was that we were spared hearing you speak afterwards. Kudos to whoever is running the sound booth.

Ace - Oh, Ace, my Ace. What have you done?? You were not as bad as last week, but you weren't great. And were you channeling some Constantstink with your dirty hair??

Speaking of which, I'm sure that Ace's hair and seeing Constantstink in the audience is what compelled JG to shower during the show.

And who wants Paula to share her meds with the rest of us?
