My take on last night...

Lisa - Did well. Finally got some emotion out of her instead of just being a singing robot. But with the voting trend, I don't know if it was enough to escape the bottom 3.

Kellie - Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Ace - Was bad as usual. I thought Simon's and Randy's facial expressions when Paula asked Ace to tell her some day how he got the scar were hilarious. Mig - I think he said that he got that scar while playing basketball. Talk about losing street cred! Say you got stabbed while saving a girl, something, anything, make something up...

Taylor - Sang really well, I thought.

Mandisa - Not to her usual standards, but good. Was it just me or did anyone think the song was too fast for her - as if she was always trying to catch up?

Katharine - Sang it well, although the number one thing it proved to me was how good Cristina Aguilera really is. Katharine needed a fuller voice to sing that song, I think.

Chris - Has sung the same song for about five weeks in a row. Sings it well though.

Bucky - My choice for gone.

Paris - Was really good. Best of the night and most entertaining.

Elliott - Like Mandisa, I thought the song was too fast for him. Like the judges said, arrangement was horrible. Still a great voice though.

My choice for bottom 3: Lisa, Bucky and Ace with Bucky leaving

Dialidol: Katharine, Ace and Bucky with Katharine leaving
