The second half of tonight’s show began with the lovely Alexandrea Lushington. I completely loved this girl in the auditions so I was excited to hear her again. She came out in what Paula described as a “dope” outfit and rocked out to “Spinning Wheel”. Her voice is great with only some slight issues in her upper register. The song arrangement was pretty neat. Randy and Paula love her and naturally, Simon “didn’t get it”.

Remember the chick who did all the voice impersonations at the auditions? We haven’t seen her since then so it was quite a surprise when Kady Malloy performed beautifully tonight. The judges didn’t seem to know what they were talking about on this one. Simon compared it to the night of the living dead and then goes as far as saying that a “pencil could impersonate” her! That was mean!

Asia’h Epperson did a rendition of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of my Heart” with a rock/hip-hop twist. Loved it!

Okay, remember tiny Ramiele Malubay with the great big voice? She NAILED it tonight. Her vocals, presence, attitude and look was just amazing. I had to agree with Simon when he said he wasn’t impressed at first but this definitely changes things!

Syesha Mercado put on yet another awesome performance. Mark my words – this girl is going to go far. She was simply outstanding and totally brought the house down at the end. Simon called her one of the most talented girls in the competition. He also added that she did “terrific” and “has the whole package”.

Lots of buzz went flying around about Carly Smithson especially after she wowed the judges during Hollywood Week. Tonight her vocals were strong but the poor gal struggled through some of the softer parts and had some straining mid-song. Unfortunately she has bronchitis and a cold. Randy still shows some love by calling her the best vocal in the whole top 24. Simon, on the other hand, wasn’t as thrilled.
