Jordin Sparks - She gave solid vocals on the upbeat rock song. I'm still bored from all the song choices from the 80s and earlier, but then again, I guess that goes to show how weak today's musical landscape is. It was a good start to the show.

Sabrina Sloan - Just another R&B song that doens't stand out. It was a little pitchy, but a good performance. Nothing fantastic.

Antonella Barba - Her looks and controversial pictures are getting her farther in the competition than her singing is. She hit some sour notes. While she gets a little better each week, it's still not great.

Haley Scarnato - I wasn't familiar with or crazy about the song. It was a little too Broadway/cruise ship/Disney. She doesn't stand out. Like Simon, I couldn't even remember her name when she first got on stage.

Stephanie Edwards - Actually, I couldn't remember hers either. Again, it was just another solid R&B performance that didn't stand out.

LaKisha Jones - Too much vibrato for me. I'm still not on the LaKisha bandwagon. To me, like Jennifer Hudson, it's a lot of oversinging and screaming.

Gina Glockson - Great song choice with Evanescence. A little screaming at times, but she brought edge and style, as well as originality and a modern song. Her personality shines through and is helping her out.

Melinda Doolittle - For the first time, I thought she sang really well. The other weeks, it was boring to me. I liked the old-school vibe to the song. It was the first time I thought she was above average.

Bottom three: Antonella, Haley, Stephanie
