PHONE 1-866-436-57_ _ OR TEXT THE WORD 'VOTE' TO 57_ _


01 LAKISHA JONES "LAST DANCE"

• RANDY: It was good to see you sing an uptempo song.
• PAULA: You did Donna Summer proud.
• SIMON: Love those boots! You're 30 years younger this week. Great vocal.
• GOLDIE: I always like Lakisha! Great vocal and performance, but she is just not my American Idol.

02 CHRIS SLIGH "EVERY LITTLE THING SHE DOES"

• RANDY: Good song choice. The biggest problem was the band was in one tempo and you were at another.
• PAULA: Vocally it was nice, but the tempo....feel the beat.
• SIMON: I thought it was a mess...at this stage it needs to be better. The song did not suit you and it did not feel right.
• GOLDIE: Much better song choice for him. I love his voice, but he just does not seem to be polished like he needs to be for me.

03 GINA GLOCKSEN "I'LL STAND BY YOU"

• RANDY: This was your best performance ever! Perfect song for you.
• PAULA: You are improving each week....the song showed your vocal!
• SIMON: That was your best performance. The best performance so far tonight!
• GOLDIE: This is my favorite Gina performance!! Great song choice for her! My favorite so far!!

04 SANJAYA MALAKAR "BATHWATER"

• RANDY: I'm speechless every time...it's weird...interesting hair.
• PAULA: If you had the gumption...you could sing and fit the wackiness of the mohawk...but you're not doing it.
• SIMON: I presume there was no mirror in your dressing room. I don't think it matters anymore what we say and you are in your own universe so good luck!
• GOLDIE: Go home, Sanjaya! Stop murdering music!

05 HAILEY SCARNATO "TRUE COLORS"

• RANDY: It started rough...it was just kind of alright...you didn't grab me...pitchy moments.
• PAULA: It's a beautiful song and the melody should just be sung. You overdid it.
• SIMON: Sweet, but forgettable! Thousands of girls all over this country could do that...too safe and you are going to have to do better!
• GOLDIE: This is the only person, other than Sanjaya that I would like to see leave. Her legs are nice, but if that's all you've got....model pantyhose!

06 PHIL STACEY "EVERY BREATH YOU'LL TAKE"

• RANDY: I actually kind of liked it...you've got that big voice but you didn't push it and I liked it.
• PAULA: Good song choice and the chorus was good, but the verses are to safe.
• SIMON: I thought that was very good. Great choice of song. This is the first time that I think you've shown you're serious about this competition!
• GOLDIE: He starts too timid for me and gets stronger, but I'm ready for him to blow me away, but I get tired of waiting for the 'wow'!

07 MELINDA DOOLITTLE "HEAVEN KNOWS"

• RANDY: You sing with feeling...you live the song...that was the bomb again!
• PAULA: You tell the story from the first note.
• SIMON: Vocally, as usual, outstanding...but I hate the outfit!
• GOLDIE: I'm out of adjectives for Melinda.....all I can say is PERFECTION....(guess who I'm voting for)

08 BLAKE LEWIS "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU"

• RANDY: Not my perfect song choice for you, but I liked it.
• PAULA: I loved what you did with the song. You are original.
• SIMON: Definitely the strongest guy in the competition. You've got to be careful not to be too indulgent. For sure you are the front running guy.
• GOLDIE: I like Blake, but I'll be honest it was a bit pitchy for me, but he's still gave a solid performance and has a really good voice. I think he's the best guy in the competition for me!

09 JORDIN SPARKS "HEY BABY"

• RANDY: That was a very risky song to do, you could sing anything.
• PAULA: You're adorable. I love seeing you in this kind of mode.
• SIMON: The most improved contestant in the competition.
• GOLDIE: I really like Jordin. She's fun, but this was not a good choice for her vocally.

10 CHRIS RICHARDSON "DON'T SPEAK"

• RANDY: That was interesting..good flavor...not the best vocal! That was good.
• PAULA: You're good!
• SIMON: This was a better choice, great arrangement, but the vocal was not that great and you struggled and you need to pay more attention on your vocals.
• GOLDIE: I like the choices he makes and the chances he takes, but the pitchiness is sooo bad that I got a little distracted. He needs to watch his vocals.
