1. Josh Krajcik – Complete recovery from last week to nicely assume the top spot as I thought he would.
2. Astro – After his second solid performance in a row, I think he is now a serious contender and I would have never said that a few weeks ago. The most improved contestant by far and I actually await his turn each week.
3. Marcus Canty – Huge improvement from last week. Slick performance and for the first time, he looked like a star.
4. Melanie Amaro – Good but not as amazing as last week and I feel she might be a one-trick pony.
5. Drew – Absolutely love Drew’s voice but this song didn’t work. Disappointing. Do I still think she is going to the end? Yes. But she needs to pick songs that highlight what she can do.
6. Stacy Francis – Definitely a gospel singer. Her best performance in awhile.
7. Chris Rene – Improvement from last week, but he needs to get back to rapping or something. These feel good Kumbaya songs are great, but he can do a lot more with his talent. LA Reid needs to figure it out.
8. InTENsity – I know some people will hate the performance, but I thought it was energetic and kept me interested.
9. Stereo Hogzz – Good performance, but I am starting to doubt if groups belong in this competition.
10. Rachel Crow – Better than last week.
11. Lakoda Rayne – Yawn.
12. Leroy Bell – Yawn X 2.
