Matt Giraud

He chooses "You Found Me" by The Fray.

He plays a stand-up keyboard IN the audience. He's surrounded by a small horde of Ashley Ferl tweens. And some middle aged men too. Odd.

The whole thing is desperate too. Being in the bottom three last week (which he reminds us repeatedly) has clearly freaked him out. He wants to "connect with the audience" so badly that he feels he has to sing in the audience.

The song is a mess anyway.

Paula: I appreciate that you went for a contemporary song. But you aborted the things we love about you. It became more of a sound-alike to the original. Wasn't a great performance for you.

Simon: It felt very put-on. Uptight. Not a good commercial song. You can frown all you like. You're becoming all these different people trying to stay in the competition.

Randy: It's not you. You're not a rock kinda singer.

Kara: You keep going between the rock side of pop and the R&B side of pop. You are talented guy and you don't deserve to go home.

Lil Rounds

I didn't catch this song's name. But it's boring and very formal. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Randy: This would not have been my song choice for you. But you know what? You sing it really, really well. But young it up a little bit!

Kara: I was surprised too. We got a glimpse of this singer who just light it up and wow us.

Paula: I don’t want to see an adult-conteporary Lil Rounds.

Simon: This was for me you singing to stay in the competition with a safe song. Too soft. This honestly was so old fashioned. Personality was sucked out of it. You’ve got to stop this.

Somebody must have whispered in Seacrest’s ear that the judges were again being too critical of Diva Rounds, so he tries to soften the blow by talking to her kids sitting in the front row near the judges.

Seacrest: You see that guy on the end (points to Randy) . He was mean to mommy. You want to punch him?

One of the kids nods yes and Seacrest carries her over to Randy. There’s no hitting, only a hug from Randy as mom wipes away a tear.

Awwwwwwwww. That should keep her safe another week.

Adam Lambert

Adam has retained his "cleaned-up" mobster look.

LOLOL!! His song choice is "Play That Funky Music White Boy"

This is just cheesy.

Play that fawnky music until you DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

Eardrums burst all over the Eastern and Central timezones.

Paula: True genius shatters expectations. [compares him to Mick Jagger]

Simon: At least we get rid of some of the karaokey nonsense. Not as good as last week, but it doesn't matter. You had a good time.

Randy: You worked it out! Definitely in the star zone, baby!

Kara: It was like Studio 57 up in here! [I think she meant Studio 54, but Obama makes the same mistake :)]
