    An o.k. night.
    RJ Helton "Under The Boardwalk" Like always, he doesn't "wow" me. I have never seen a great performance from him. Only good.

    Tamyra Gray "A Fool In Love" That's a performance I will remember. Unlike RJ, she wow's me every time I see her and I'm just waiting to hear that she won.

    Nikki McKibben "Piece Of My Heart" My favorite performance from her. She sang a style she's good at and I'm glad she chose that song because that's the type of artist I picture her to be.

    A.J. Gil "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" Very boring. He has a lot of pitch problems. He seems like a really nice guy so I like him as a person, but not as a singer.

    Kelly Clarkson "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" Wow! My favorite Kelly performance. I think that one note was on of the highest notes I've ever heard in my life. I think she might give Tamyra a run for her money.

    Christina Christian "When A Man Loves A Woman" I usually love her, but I didn't love this performance. I thought it was very boring. i didn't like all the notes either. I still love her and want her to win.

    Justin Guarini "Sunny" Like Christina, not my favorite performance. I think some of my favorites are letting me down tonight. I haven't seen a winning performance from any of them.

    Ryan Starr "You Really Got Me" I thought it was awful. Terrible actually. She was the worst of the night. I think AJ mught be here one more week and he can thank Ryan.

    Bottom 3: RJ, AJ, Ryan
    Bottom 2: AJ and Ryan

    • When Ryan reads out the numbers the camera shows the contestant with their number on the bottom of the screen. In last weeks episode it focused on Ryan. This is the new tradition that they do.
