Shaggy’s dance moves looks like a dog that’s searching for a place to pee.

They’re actually live tonight.

[silent_jonny]

Laine Hardy

He looks like Elvis--the pre-Colonel Parker & Priscilla Elvis--and chooses an Elvis song. Pretty good.

Katie: (Spends most of her time curling her lip like Elvis)

Luke: Your voice has come so far from last year.

Lionel: You're on fire, buddy. I want to say nothing. Just do it some more.

[silent_jonny]

Evelyn Cormier

Her voice is always surprising--not necessarily in a good way.

Luke: Just when we think we have someone pegged, they show us a whole new side.

Lionel: You give us the left, right and center of you.

Katie: Crowd pleaser! Thank you for taking a chance. It really worked.

[silent_jonny]

Eddie Island

Of all the songs he could have picked, he chose "Bennie and the Jets"? AWFUL.

Go home already.

Katie: I'm overwhelmed. I feel you have those nerves too.

Luke: You are here because you make us smile. Look at that outfit. Vocally, make sure you stay on top of that.

Lionel: Isn't it great being different? You could be the poster child for "I was the oddball". (can't argue with that)

[silent_jonny]

Riley Thompson

She might be an actual star. Surprisingly solid voice and legs to match, which she isn't afraid to show off.

Luke: How does it feel becoming a star? Great song choice.

Lionel: Are you watching, America? You have slowly drifted in, but now you are crushing it!

Katie: You grew up.

Seacrest invites her little sister up on stage. Awwww, vote insurance is cute!

[silent_jonny]

Wade Cota

Lionel: Wade the Hammer. You dropped the Hammer!

Katie: Great example of great song choice. Amazing and emotional and strong. I believe in your voice so much.

Luke: When you sing with your body it fires us up. We feel it man.

[silent_jonny]

Dimitrius Graham

It's easy to dismiss the Somali Pirate (what the heck is he wearing? A flannel vest over a garbage bag?) but the guy can really sing. Wow.

Katie: You really developed into an artist. You're an exceptional artist. A miraculous singer.

Luke: Remember to work that microphone. Partner that with your voice.

Lionel: There's a quality that we can't teach you that you have. Explosive.

[silent_jonny]

Madison Vandenburg

She sings that Alicia Keyes song, "Falling". Her voice is excellent. (hate the song though)

Luke: That is how you put yourself in contention. You really made a statement. Become a diva now.

Lionel: We need security on the set! When you get to the point where the crowd goes crazy (did we reach that point?)--that's the test!

Katie: Unstoppable! Please keep giving us that.
