Right out of the gate and the first to perform, Von rocked it, he was really good. I thought “Wow,” this should be a great show if that was performance number 1!”

Oh how wrong I was! Many of the rest just fizzled. To quote Simon, forgettable and boring, some just terrible!

I think Jorge from Peurto Rico was amazing, he will be Von’s competition for the male spot.

The final contestant Lil who did Mary J Blige was amazing, hands down she won the female spot.

These three, Von, Jorge and Lil will probably make it, or should make it through in this round.

Felecia was brought back to the competition after one of the originals to go through got disqualified for her connections to the show, and already having had a record deal. I thought she was okay, the judges loved her. I thought some of her notes were way off.

Kristin, who sang Tracy Chapman, I thought was vocally good, but boring.

Nathan, who I expected to be wowed by, sang Meatloaf and well . . I would have done anything if he would have stopped singing to be honest! I just didn’t like it at all. The judges didn’t really either, but they liked him and felt he was at least memorable. Yeah I’ll give him that.

The guy who sang Bruce Hornsby bored me to death, even the judges loved him. He could be a darkhorse this week and make it through.

As of yet, we still have no idea how they will do the Wild Card show next week. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow with the results show.

Correction: The Wildcard show is THIS Thursday, not next week. Thanks to Teach for pointing this out in the comments. Also it appears that anywhere from 8-9 of the judges favorites are brought back to battle it out for the final 3 spots. There is also a rumor that they might bring back ones who never even made it past Hollywood.
