So, I didn't see all of last week's show due to my DVR not recording, but I'm here this week with a full recap and review of this week's songsters. So on to the show!
Jasmine – Absolutely the wrong song choice. I agree with the judges that she should have sung something more R&B. Her voice is all wrong for "Love Song", not too mention it was too fast for her to keep up with. Bye-bye Jasmine.
Matt – I really liked Matt during Hollywood and was expecting him to do well. But ss soon as he said he was singing "Viva la Vida", I knew it would be a train wreck. Why are these contestants picking songs with fast melodies that don’t showcase their voices? "Viva la Vida" works for Coldplay because of the musicality, not the vocal range it lends itself to. I heard Matt breathing more than I heard him singing. I'm totally disappointed.
Jeanine - I don't remember this girl from H-wood, but that's okay, she'll be going soon enough. Her performance is an even worse train wreck than Matt with her choice of a Maroon5 song. I bet the judges are kicking themselves for even putting her through.
Nick/Norman - The contestant with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Who’s it going to be tonight? Frick, it’s Norman, and he's wearing a sweat band! This performance is so not entertaining that i choose to fast forward through it. Please don’t vote for him. All hail the Church of Simon!
Allison – Finally someone who knows how to pick a song! I really like her voice, but she needs a new hair style. So far, she's the only one that should make it through.
Kris – I don’t really like the song, but it showcased his voice. Where were these people in the Hollywood rounds? He might go through if everyone else sucks, but his performance was kind of bland.
Megan – She started off well, then started shouting. I don't think she stands out enough for this competition. I didn't like her song choice, so I'm not giving her a pass.
Matt 2 – Although he's better than the first few singers, he sounds like he’s singing karaoke, especially with his song choice. And what is with his dancing? Not a great singer, but he might get through on likeability alone.
Jesse – I really like her look and her voice reminds me of KT Tunstall or Alanna Miles. I don’t particularly like "Bette Davis Eyes" for her, but I like her voice a lot. This might not have been her best performance, but I think she should go through.
Kai – Another karaoke performance. Average and boring.
Mishavonna- "Drops of Jupiter"? Really?! She has a nice voice, but I absolutely abhorred the song choice. I could hear her singing Christina Aguilera or Kate Voegele, but this performance won't give her the chance to try.
Adam – This is the guy I’ve been waiting for. I think he needs a stylist, but I really, really like him. He sings "Satisfaction" and he delivers. I didn't like the Fall Out Boy/Twighlight comparison, I think he's more like an emo Sebastian Bach.
But either way, the judges are right that this kid is in a class all his own. You're going down, Gokey!
My top 3: Allison, Adam, and Jesse
Whose performances did you like? Did you love or hate Adam's rendition of the Rolling Stones?

I liked Adam a lot... I agree, too much eye makeup and the hair... ugh. But that boy can sing!
Good roundup all in all - but I did like Megan. Strange presentation though.
Megan was a bit awkward on stage, but I think she was one of the better singers, and will hopefully be in the wild card round next week.
