I wish the contestants wouldn’t talk back. I hate that.

The Judges remember it and do take revenge when they get the chance. They may measure their comments (at least the 3 real judges), but they are human and no one likes to be dissed — especially by children.

The winners were always sunny (even Screamtasia) and took criticism in stride.

agreed, talking back is a quick way out.

Me too. It doesn't reflect well on them. Alexis didn't do herself any favors.

Matt Giraud

He has the pimp spot tonight.

His choice is Carrie Underwood's "So Small"

Randy Travis isn't sure about this, but again he's surprised by the result.

Matt performs at the piano. This is very good. I understand why they saved him for last.

Kara: There ain't nothing small about you. You work the dynamics of that song. I love you.

Paula: Authentic ... authenticity ... authentic-tic.

Simon: Matt, you are a heart piercer. Everyone talks about Danny. I think you out-sang him tonight. You remind me of Michael Buble. One of the best tonight. Well done.

Randy: My favorite performance of the night. You got it going on, baby!

Watching the recaps ...

Worst of the night--beyond a doubt: Adam Lambert. What he did to that song was disgusting. The whole thing was evil.

Lil Rounds and Alexis weren't very good.

My guess is Alexis is in danger of going home.
