I guess she really is that unmemorable!

Aish'a and Syesha seem like faux-belters to me...they come the closest to being the new J Hud, but aren't really that good. Also awful? Amanda. She's really a bad singer covering it up with schtick (decent schtick, but schtick nonetheless).

Overall, YAWN. Across the board better than the boys, but nobody stands out.

I still can't tell any of them apart. I miss Leslie Hunt more than ever now.

Also, in relation to Amy Davis performance, did anyone notice the judges characterizing "Where the Boys Are" as a Patsy Cline song? Did Cline ever record it? Because I, and I think most people, associate it more with Connie Francis, and certainly not with country music.

i guess syesha has me thinking she has the pipes to do some nice things as the show progresses - but collectively i am unimpressed. and that includes the guys.

Simon's comment about all the "hype" surrounding Carly was interesting -- I don't know if he was just translating all the media controversy about her 'ringer' status into plain old buzz, or if it was a kind of sideways admission that AI's producers are grooming her as a favorite behind the scenes and possibly encouraging the judges to be kind to her.

I'm starting to think she's looking for ways to off her mother so she has a sob story to propel her into the final two.

I thought she was lacking in charisma. And if her hair had been dyed so that she was just another one of the blondes? She would have stuck out even less.

She really does stand out from the others, and that's not a result of her previous contract -- it's a reflection of why she had that contract in the first place.
