You pretty much nailed my sentiments exactly, SB.

The two biggest surprised of the night (for me at least) were Ace and Chris. I was a fan of Ace at the beginning, I've hated him for the past few weeks, but I'm glad to see him doing well again. I thought his performance was exceptional.

I'm also glad that Chris chose a different style of song than his usual "rocker" schtick. I really didn't think he would be able to pull off a slow, mellow country tune, but he pulled it off nicely. I was impressed.

Good Lord, I wanted to jump through the television when Katherine was performing. An unbelievably sexy performance, and her singing was right on the money. I actually became a bit flush watching her.

The Pickler did well, too. No surprise, given the genre.

I was VERY disappointed with Bucky. This was supposed to be his night, and he blew it, IMO. Not a terrible performance, but definitely not good enough for this stage of the competition.

Taylor was ok.

Elliot was awesome. He's just so versatile. He's got an amazing voice.

Mandisa was ok.

Paris was ok.

I voted for Chris and Katherine tonight. I predict Bucky will be eliminated tomorrow. Which is a shame, because I like him.
