Michael Sarver? C'mon, the guy was boring. Really, he's a bar band singer at best. Anoop blew him away as did Ricky. I agreed with Simon though that Ricky, although technically a good singer, didn't have the "wow" factor persona-wise. He just didn't connect, IMHO. Call it charisma or the "x" factor, but I liked his voice, but couldn't see him as an Idol. Anoop picked a song that didn't show off his voice - a mistake MANY made.

Yeah, we all knew Danny would get in, but I was actually thinking Tatiana might have made it too - simply for the controversial press it would provide. I know Simon doesn't like her, but she still could get in with the wild card if the "girls" have pity on her...she IS wearing a Paula ring, right? She will kiss whatever booty she has to in order to get back on...I predict we haven't seen the last of her.

Alexis sang well, looked good, picked a soulful song, is likable, and as Simon put it, is a "complete package". I think she could be another Pink. I bet she ends up in the top 5 or better. She even sang better Wednesday than on Tuesday. Obviously, she's my fave at the moment.


...and I hope Kara starts adding something to the panel besides, "I agree with Randy".
