First off, Dolly Parton is starting to resemble a porcelain figure. Her face looked to be on the verge of shattering to pieces.

Anyways...

Brooke sang Jolene- This was better than last week, but not as good as I expected it to be. She seems to be stuck in some sort of Sheryl Crow-like rut. **

David Cook sang Little Sparrow-I didn’t get it at all. The front row plants waving their arms along to a song they’ve never heard really irritated me, for some reason.  David’s not as good as they want you to believe he is. *1/2

Ramiele sang Do I Ever Cross Your Mind- This actually wasn’t bad in parts. Some of it was a complete trainwreck, though. ‘Eh..**.. I’m feeling generous.

Jason sang Travelin’ Through- Like Brooke, Jason is stuck in an acoustic/adult contemporary rut. He needs to do something different before people begin to grow tired of him, if they haven’t already. **

Carly sang Here You Come Again- This was the best we’ve seen from Carly, in my opinion. I liked the tone of her voice, and thought it fit what she was going for quite well. ***

David Archuleta sang Smoky Mountain Memories- A bit disingenuous, but otherwise it was a solid vocal performance. ***

KLC sang Coat Of Many Colors- I really doubt that Kristy can relate to a song about having to wear a coat made of rags. This was a dull performance, and like David A., came across as completely devoid of any real feel or emotion. *

Syesha sang I Will Always Love You- This was the natural choice for Syesha, of course. She pretty much nailed it, aside from a couple bad notes here and there. ***

Michael sang It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right- I actually sort of liked this. I thought the bluesy take on the song really served him well and helped to make the performance unique. ***
