First off, Tatiana del toro is SCARY! There is something wrong with that girl. Between her and Nate Marshall we are one sandwich short of a picnic. These two are just too emotionally over the top. Hysterical would be more the word. Especially Tatiana. This girl is disturbed folks. Is she the type who will kill herself in front of Paula’s house if she gets booted? I mean really now!

I am very impressed by Adam Lambert. He seems as capable of being front man for Led Zepplin as having a solo career. His range is phenomenal and he can really screech out the high notes rock and roll style.

I also love Danny Gokey. He hasn’t hit a false note (pun intended) since the show began. He is a real showman. I have every suspicion he has sung professionally before. He has enormous confidence.

And Matt Giraud. WOW. Unique and fantastic voice that gave a totally new sound to a classic, Georgia On My Mind. It was like he was giving his own professional show. I was super impressed by him.

The boring ones: Anoop Desai, Jorge Nunez, Kendall Beard, Micshovana Henson.

Junot Joyner has great voice control and has the wisdom to not belt the whole time but to use softness to good effect.

Leneshe Young has a very unique voice and was able to make her song choice completely her own. She OWNED the song.

Norman. Hmmmm. I suspect Norman does better when he isn’t’ being himself and that this is the why of his being in character so much. I am not sure he even realizes this.

Kristen MacNamera sang with a lot of emotion and has a big voice.

Kenny Hoffpauer has a unique voice which will help him in the competition.

Lil Rounds has a big diva voice. But that could get old fast if she doesn’t mix it up some.

Lots of dreadheads are very upset that Michael Castro was cut from the competition feeling manipulated. I don’t think they were manipulated at all. They did one initial story with Jason and Michael together. It is a story worth doing, but nowhere did I see a promise that Michael would make the cut. There wasn’t even much of him in the auditions. So manipulated? I don’t think so.
