MY rankings for tonight's performances :
1. Kellie
2. Chris
3. Bucky
4. Paris
5. Eliot
6. Mandisa
7. taylor
8. Katherine
9. Ace
Ace and katherine will be in the bottom 3. Third spot is wide open -- Bucky may have saved himself again. Eliot possible in bottom 3 if he didn't connect. Taylor could get a wake up call for playing it safe.
It was an interesting night. Kellie, who I don't care for, sang I song that I absolutely abhor. Yet, I admit she did incredible. Chris, however, gave me chills with one of my favorite songs. All the others paled in comparison to these two. I give Chris the top spot since he is not by nature a country singer. I thought he sounded very close to Keith Urban tonight.

There were a few surprises tonight. I expected Taylor to hit one out of the park. Instead he stood there like John Denver on valium, phoning in Country Roads. Disappointing.
Mandisa is getting on my nerves. She could have done something soulful and haunting...instead she mangled a perfectly good song by screaming and shouting (again).
Chris was a surprise. I got to hear his very mellow voice for the first time. He was good.
Elliott was OK...I didnt care for the song, but the vocals were good.
Katharine is another one who's in the same old groove every week. Mama Rose says "Go out there kid. Shimmy and shake. Show how sexy you are, and they'll forget your thin reedy voice."
Bucky still can't enunciate and was offkey for nearly the entire song.
Paris was....well, Paris. Nothing new or exciting there.
The two best tonight IMHO were Ace and Kellie. Both put feeling into their songs, as different as they were, and made the meaning of the words come alive.
Bottom three...Bucky, Mandisa, and McPhee.
Predicting Mandisa will go home.
