Her performance was passionate, intense, and the gospel sensitivity was really not only entertaining, but even inspiring. <\/p>\n<p>In Lee DeWyze I heard a leader: he has a terrific voice and he is becoming more and more confident. He&#8217;s on his way to stardom. <\/p>\n<p>Michael returned this week with a vengeance. He performed like a real man. His heartfelt emotion was sincere, after almost having to leave last week. His vocals were right in tune and interesting. I&#8217;m so happy that he&#8217;s still a contender.  The judges wisely used their one season &#8220;save&#8221; to let him go on despite a low vote last week. <\/p>\n<p>I still just don&#8217;t understand Siobahn.  While she looked really cool and even hot, her vocals were great, but she came off looking like kind of a karaoke dental hygienist. Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with karaoke or dental hygene!  I love both!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of strange things. Strangest reviews from the judges were for Tim. He was so pitchy!  He comes off really fake, I think. He needs to be voted off. The judges loved him. What gives?<\/p>\n<p>Katie is cute, and sings well enough, but (can we talk) I think she is just plain boring.<br \/>\nAndrew will probably go. But I like him. He&#8217;s just not fabulous enough. The judges and I agree.<\/p>\n<p>Did YOU vote?  Who is your favorite?  Who should be the next American Idol?
