OK, this week we get rid of two more girls to get down to the 6 who will make up the final 12. I'll go girl by girl...
Paris Bennett -- she's just so damn cute and sings just about everything damn well. She stays.
Lisa Tucker -- damn near ditto what I said for Paris, though I think I like Paris' spunk more. Stays.
Melissa McGhee -- she brought it tonight with that Heart song. She keeps growing each week. Stays.
Kinnik Sky -- sorry, not good for me. This is her week to go. LEAVING on Thursday.
Katharine McPhee -- she brought some good stuff to the stage tonight. Stays.
Ayla Brown -- there's something about her that I just don't like and I can't put my finger on it. I totally did not like her song selection. LEAVING on Thursday.
Mandisa -- my girl BROUGHT IT tonight. I like her chances if she keeps singing the hell outta each and every song she chooses. Stays.
Kellie Pickler -- again, another irresistable cutie, who can sing. As Simon said, she's not the best singer, but her charisma is what carries her through. Stays.
So, in a nutshell... Leaving on Thursday: Kinnik Sky and Ayla Brown.
