Ryan seems really toned down tonight.
I love this.
maybe they gave Ryan a big slug of Thorazine
By comparison to last week, I would hope so. lol
I think he got a lot of flak over his comments in the past few weeks...

Whatever meds they gave him, I hope they have plenty left for tomorrow night.

Randy: That is how you do it. Gotta give it up.
Ellen: You have never looked more beautiful.
Kara: Thank you so much for taking a risk and putting your guitar down. Mama-sox, you just schooled all those contestants.
Simon: That was emotional. I'm happy to see you emotional. This song meant a lot to you. In a completely different class than what we saw tonight.
Crystal: My dad is here! 
Cut to a guy in the audience that looks like a unabomber sketch, LOL!
