Great love songs? Boring crap for all I can tell.

Katharine McPhee: that had to hurt. When you lose Paula, you know you probably didn’t sound particularly good.

Elliott Yamin: why would you choose such a tremendously forgettable song? Paula cried, though, and that’s irritating. The vocals were good, but the song is bland.

Pickler: the g-phrase listens to Pickler speaking and says, “She’s like Forrest Gump.” Pretty sure she didn’t mean that in the nicest possible way. Pitchy, wandering, uninspired take on a classic. She can’t sing a love song and make people feel the music.

Paris: she sang a song that I really can’t stand, but she sang it pretty well. I love her personality, I love her voice, I wish she had chosen another song.

Taylor: he could be going home after this. Love the charisma, love the voice, but this just wasn’t very good.

Aside: is “Ihatepaula.com” available?

Chris: is he going to win? The guy sounds like any number of pop “rock” singers--and I have a feeling you could slip him into a few groups without anyone noticing the difference--but he also shows a great potential to make big bucks for his producers.
