1. NDN = Old NDN
2. nodepositneeded = Judy
3. Adam Lambert is far superior to Jame Durbin and I just don't think he could possibly get as far as Adam did in the competition. That's not to say he isn't talented, but I just don't think he brings anything new to the competition.

It looks like GloBug's random post has put some more passion into this debate!

I won't pick a favorite yet since we really haven't seen much from the contestants.
However, based on previous years outcomes, I am willing to bet that
Lauren or Paul will win the title.
Lauren is from GA and Paul is from AL and them southern folk own the AI vote.
I am hoping to be wrong with the new online voting might even things out.
I will make my final prdiction with 10 people left and a chance to hear who will mature and who won't.

I loved Julie, No Julie

WHAT NO SURVIVOR THREAD? Russell is on Redemption Island!
It doesn't get any better than that.

Julie was great in everything she did up until her final performance. I especially like her piano duet the previous week. She really shot herself in the foot with her last performance though, it was extremely uncomfortable to watch!

I was hoping her looks would get her on stage one more time or at least garner one last shot via the judges picks. I thought she had some potential and was hoping to hear her a few more times in the competition.

Definitely too early to pick a favorite, but hoping tomorrow night is a good one and helps us narrow it down!

The top 13 performed tonight and it turned out to be an up and down kind of night. There some really high highs and some really low lows.

Here is my breakdown by singer:

Ashton - A very mediocre performance and it cemented my belief that Kendra was certainly more deserving of a spot in the top 13 than Ashton. My biggest dislike is her complete lack of range. It all sounds monotone and she simply has no reach! Oddly, the judges generally liked this performance (wtf?).

Casey - Another solid performance. I'd say he took a few steps forward but also a few steps back in some areas. It will be hard to dislike any of his performances down the road. Judges loved him as always.

Haley - While not a fan of the song "Blue" at all, I actually liked the performance. I was hoping for a little more of the "growl" that she has, but I got enough of that to keep me wanting more in future weeks. I agreed with J-Lo when she said she does some things with her voice that are truly unique.

Jacob - What in the hell happened here? Starting the week at the top of the pack, I was utterly disappointed and confused with this performance. I think it was far too over the top and was basically just screaming nonsense. However, he must sound amazing live because the judges once again loved it.

James - Although I have never doubted his talent, I didn't think this season could handle another Adam Lambert. While I still think he can't compare to Adam, his performance tonight was one of the best (and probably the best) and I was quite pleased to see that he listened to the "powers" and did not scream the entire song.

Karen - A weak performance from a strong contestant. A bad follow-up to last week and I think it hurts her even more since she tried to play on the Selena/J-Lo thing and then came up short with the vocals.

Lauren - A setback from last week for sure, but she'll go far in this contest regardless (and rightful so).

Naima - What in the? I didn't get it. I wanted to see Kendra in the top 13 over Naima/Ashton and this performance just proves that the judges made a mistake. I'm all for the uniqueness that she has, but the talent just isn't there. I did appreciate the shave though.

Paul - I think he'll last a little while, but I did not care for the performance. It was a repeat of last week, but not as good. He needs to change things up. I think he has some potential, but for whatever reason hasn't found a way to "open up" just yet.

Pia - Solid. Probably second best on the night after James. I like her composure more than anything and the way she handles herself. Not to mention the killer vocals.

Scotty - I was hoping to hear something that would get me in his corner at least a little bit, but once again I was left wondering what the hell he is doing in the competition. His vocals were trash, but I also find it uncomfortable to watch him move on the stage.

Stefano - A weak performance. He's been on the lower end of the hopefuls and rightfully so after tonight's performance.

Thia - I still love the voice, but wished she wouldn't have switched to the faster temp (especially since she kept the same slow pace of the song throughout the performance). I would have loved her sitting in a chair singing this like she did at the beginning. She's definitely worth staying in the competition, but hopefully she kind find some ways to try new things without backfiring like tonight.

That's all I have for you!

Please chime in if you watched the show!
