Alex Lambert - Beautiful voice. I think this is what the judges mean by making a song your own--before the Lewis/Cook iTunes regurgitation.
Tim Urban - NOT PITCHY. Not particularly range-y either, but completely emotionally convincing (unlike Jermaine, Todrick, John, and Andrew).
Aaron Kelly - He can SAYNG. But he's gonna need better insight into choosing the right songs.
Michael Lynche - On the fence on this one: but either way, my attention was not held--and neither was the carry-through on the phrasings or the ending.
Lee DeWyze - They are creating a monster here, but I can't deny he's got a nicer "tone" than Daughtry or Cook--even though he can't sing.
Casey James - He's this high because the guitar was excellent.
Jermaine Sellers - Not a fan of What's Goin' On, so I don't think it's a crime against music what he did to the song, but he has no idea what is the right kind of song for him.
Todrick Hall - Another song I don't like so I'm not offended, just kinda bewildered.
John Park - He tried, but he's just not a pleasant or nuanced singer (unlike Tim Urban).
Andrew Garcia - Ack! The anti-Alex Lambert. In every way that Alex made his song riveting and unexpected and full of beauty and surprise, Andrew made his predictable, mushy-mouthed, sentimental.
