I think Ramielle has actually got one of the better voices out there, she just needs to find the right songs.

Because books.

Dude, Alaina is also butchering "Hopelessly Devoted to You." Girls, stop wrecking songs I like!

Seriously: Can anyone really prove that Kristy, Alaina and Kady actually are different people?

I know! I wouldn't know which one was which if they didn't put their names up on the screen.

I am watching AI! And - they are not good. I missed the first one or two - but what is with all the matchy blonde bluesy-country belters? Also, the mix is really weird. Sometimes the backup singers are louder than the main person.

I think their sound people suck. They need to get some professionals.

It wouldn't hurt,either, if the girls would quit picking songs that require having a lower end of the scale to sing with than what they have.

Now, I didn't "get" Carly until tonight's performance. I gave her extra props because you have to have some balls, IMO, to take on Ann Wilson.

This? Would be a balls-free performance. Just saying.

On the plus side? Even more likely we'll have one fewer interchangeable blond next week!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

AI: I'm surprised that they liked Brooke. She was way too happy while singing ''You're So Vain''. That song need some venom.

Yes, thank you. It felt mimicked. Brooke really rubs me the wrong way anyway, and just doing a "karaoke" version of the song bugs.

Another thing I noticed in a lot of the choices was the songs were at the very low end of the singers' ranges. There was a lot of struggling to hit the low notes.
