- Lee Dewyze up first singing Kiss from a Rose,,, not his type of song at all, he was a bit flat throughout the number and there was nothing going on with the stage.... I hate to keep bringing up Adam Lambert,, but he freaking knew how to make the stage entertaining....fog, lights, etc....
- Mike Lynche then sang Michael Jackson and I thought he did a good job. Anytime you can bring a gospel choir into the mix, it'll be awesome! Judges didn't like it so much,,,but I also love that song too, I might have been swayed by that.
- Duet of Lee and Crystal,,, taking on Fallen which is the song Kris Allen did last year that really set him apart... I thought to myself, why tackle this if it was such a big moment for the winner last year. Well, I really dug the harmonies and the guitar playing. Had to be one of the best performances of the year. They received accolades for their number,,, they might be your finalists!
- Next up was Casey James singing Mrs. Robinson. Didn't do anything for me. It was slow, basic, and not up to par with where he should be. I am soooo sick of the whole cougar thing RANDY! Give it a break,,, the kid is most annoyed I am sure.
- Crystal performed a Kenny Loggins classic from Caddy Shack and I dug it. She changed up the song quite a bit and really went out and rocked. Does anyone else think that the crazy 'boyfriend' guy wearing the Gosh Awful flag balloon pants is a pseudo boyfriend?? I mean honestly, they are so not a pair I would put together. I thought the night was super slow and needed a good Crystal wake up call.
- Casey's and Mike's duet was awesome too. I loved the guitar playing and harmonies.
My power rankings on last night's performances:
- Crystal
- Mike
- Lee
- Casey

Last night was definitely one of the most boring Idol nights I've ever seen. I wasn't super impressed by any of it. Crystal definitely won the solo, but was still just ok for me. I think they raved about the duets so much because compared to the solos, they were a lot better, but still not great. Last years duets were so much better! I feel like I'm watching Season 1 of American Idol without Kelly. They need to start doing more interesting things on stage at this point, come on!
Yes!! Casey survived another elimination! Who knows, maybe he'll even squeeze into the top two. Not very likely, but it could happen. I hope Crystal is top two, and I think you know how I feel about Lee by now. Yuck!! I was so glad that he finally got some negative criticism the other night. Simon even threw the word "karaoke" at him!
I liked the duets. I thought they were both great. I didn't understand any of the solo song choices, though.
