Bo is the only one who is safe tonight.

I have to agree. I don't know what happened with Carrie on her 2nd song, but it was by far her worst performance of the competition. Simon tried to protect her by putting part of the blame on the band for the arrangement. But do they get to pick the arrangements? Or is the voice coaches? Or the performers? Rhetorical questions since I don't think this info has ever been made public.

Jonny, here's my take on last night, in order they performed.

Carrie: B and F
Bo: B and A
Vonzell: D and D
Anthony: A and A

Definitely an off night for Carrie. I didn't like either of her performances. Carrie hurt herself last night. The question is how badly.

I'll say it again about Bo. Appears to be a one-trick pony, but what he does, he does extremely well. The live audiences seem to absolutely adore him.

Vonzell was horrible last night. Frankly, I think she's had two horrible weeks in a row, and should have gone last week. But most people were tired of Scott by that point. Randy keeps trying to save her by claiming she makes the most difficult song choices. To which I say HORSE PUCKY!!! Randy is just making excuses for her horrible delivery, and is hoping the voter buy it. If I had my way, she'd be gone tonight.

Anthony: There's much to like about this kid. He's sweet, tries hard every week, and has natural talent. But he has much to learn about the craft of performing. He definitely should not go before Vonzell, but I think it's possible he may go tonight.

BTW, jonny, here's a photo of the latest National Enquirer cover. That's has JonBenet Ramsey on the cover. The resemblance between Carrie and JonBenet is spooky.

Afternoon, Wolfstar :)

Anthony: A and A

I agree, except I would score him A- and A-. While he was good (very good, I have to admit), I detected no passion in his voice. I think that's what Simon meant when he said he "didn't have enough soul".

Carrie: B and F

Ouch, her second song was painful, wasn't it? I can't recall a worse performance from her. She'll survive it, though (I hope!).

Bo: B and A

Like Clint Eastwood said, "A man's gotta know his limitations", and Bo--to his credit--knows his. Sometimes his songs aren't very exciting, but he gets the job done.

Vonzell: D and D

Vonzelle rolled snake-eyes last night. The first song was a train wreck. The second song, while much better, was still a mess. Why does the girl scream her lyrics? I know I keep harping on that, but it bothers me. I hope she goes tonight.

LOL, when is JonBenet not on their cover? If it's not her it's Michael Jackson :-D

A few weeks ago on "Showtune Night", Carrie looked exactly like JonBenet. It was surreal and disturbing--a lot of viewers probably felt the same and made sure AI knew it. Carrie has definitely toned down the big hair and eye-shadow since then, thank goodness.
