I want Michael Johns to be my favorite this year, but his vocal range appears to be limited, and his performances still aren't really there. Even so, last night was his best performance in weeks, if not ever in this competition so far. He seems to lack a sense of fun. At least he's very easy on the eyes.
I give huge props to Kristy Lee for tackling 'Proud To Be An American.' She did a decent job with the song.
David Cook is OK, and is probably the most marketable in the current pop music world. My attitude toward him is just meh, though.
I'm glad the stylists arranged Carly's hair so it hung over one eye. That helped cover the unattractive facial expressions she makes while singing, and helped me focus more on her vocals. My reaction is that she's nothing special.
I like Chikeze's personality, but don't like his singing voice. It has a sharp quality that I find unpleasant.
Brooke White was disappointing last night.
David Archuleta is just tiresome at this point. The odd thing is that, as young as he is, the material he favors is not youthful. It's pagent/cruise ship stuff.
I like Syesha's personality, but her performances are very hit or miss. I feel like there's some talent in her, but think she needs a lot of work with a good vocal coach.
Bugs has a cute face, but like you said, he approaches songs like they're fragile. His style is more folk minstrel than pop singer.
Ramiele is another one who, early in this season, seemed to be better than she actually is. I think she could have a career in East Asia: the Phillippines, Taiwan, Japan, etc.

She could tour with what'shername from Season 3--remember her? :)
Not Jasmine, but the other one ...
Time is running out if you want to send in your original song for the Idol finale :)
Tonight's group song: "Get Right Back Where We Started From" Extra cheesy.
