• David Cook- (song 1) vocals way too loud in comparison with the music.  Odd sound – but I do like Hungry Like a Wolf (I liked Duran Duran when I was in High School…don’t tell my guy friends); (song 2) Loved it!!  But…keep your eyes open dude!  Where was the guitar solo on… “Their all wasted!”  Still good.  How did Paula Abdul get this job?
• Syesha Mercado- (song 1) (someone fix the microphone sound…who is on the mix?)  Syesha looks good.  More concerned about dancing then vocals…kind of loose.  Just OK.  (song 2) don’t know this song…a little flat at the end.  Paula just wanted to hug her…don’t go for the cry votes…she is having a breakdown!
• Jason Castro – Looks like he has having more fun than he has in weeks.  Not sure I would have chosen this song.  I think he could be in trouble.  Ouch…judges were harsh; (song 2) dude…he forgot the lyrics…oh Jason…I’m afraid this is your last week.  Overall, I do like that song.  Paula…really…stop already!  Simon, “I’d pack your suitcase.”  I’m afraid he may be right. 
• David Archuleta – (song 1) I will never buy David’s album, but he can sing; (song 2) hello grandma and little girl votes.  This will go down to the Davids.  Why can’t the Davids keep their eyes open?!  “Crushed the competition” - Simon Cowell  – wow!
