Check out Sophia, also the picture behind her. Do you see a resemblance to Kara?

Matt is first tonight.
His song is "Let's Get It On". It's really good! He starts playing softly on the piano, then the song picks up and he walks to the edge of the stage and sings with a wireless mic.
Paula is beaming.
Randy: You set this on a tone right here, man. That run you did at the end ... you are challenging for the top spot. You worked it out!
Kara: I think there are a lot of girls going "yeah, let's get it on!" I like the vocal interpretations. Could have pushed it more. Solid performance.
Paula: Glad you're as comfortable behind the piano as you are out here. Tasteful, classy, spot on. Respectful of the melody. Like wearing a great pair of comfortable jeans.
Simon: Great choice of song. Cool performance. You're voice absolutely suits this song. You are one of the front runners in this competition.
Smokey: Kris blew me a-way!
He's particularly taken with his guitar playing.
Kris's song is "How Sweet Is". Yes, he's playing the guitar, but I still can't hear it. He has a group of "supremes" singing back-up with him on stage.
Kara: You didn't do James Taylor, you didn't do Marvin Gaye--you did Kris. Different phrasing, different riffs. You did everything right. This is the Kris I've known since Hollywood week.
Paula: There's a comfort level with you on stage. Proud of you. Grown and grown every week.
Simon: Thought it was smart you did YOUR version of the song. You need more confidence. To be a star, you need to be conceited. It's about self-belief.
Randy: Take it in stride. You ain't doin' nothin' wrong, baby. It's all good!
Kris: (chatting with Seacrest) I don't know about the conceit thing.
