Can all eight girls go home? What a dreadful night of performances. Thankfully the hour flew by because I was eating, folding laundry and playing with the dog. Let's recap:

Katie's powerless Kelly Clarkson song was too airy and she just didn't have any power. She did nothing to stand out and "breakaway" if you will.

Siobhan was creative in the way she started her song and it was worth tuning in to see how the rest of it would go, but in the end there wasn't anything super great about it.

Lacey was good but kind of made me sleepy. Nothing fun or energetic. I felt like I took a sleeping pill by this point in the show.

Katelyn's look -- a cross between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood -- was bad enough but her Blossom outfit and bouncy piano number made me feel like I was in the mall listening to background music or on hold for something. It was bubbly but nothing that showed any talent.

I like Didi. Enjoyable to listen to while I was folding laundry.

Paige was looking around too much and too quickly during her funeral-type song. Ironically nobody was smiling after Smile. She was whining, it certainly wasn't an uplifting number like it's supposed to be. She needs something uptempo and fun.

Crystal, who seems to be getting the royal treatment this season -- as some speculate she's the producer's choice to go all the way, which is why they're making exceptions such as overhauling the performance schedule so she can participate despite it never happening for any other contestant (oops, is that a rant?) -- was OK, but because the judges sing her praise so much I'm starting to not like her. I sort of want her to fail because they make it seem like she can do no wrong.

Lilly was OK. I have no opinion one way or another on her performance.

John is gone, Jermaine is gone. Two picks I would've made, but judging by the performances this week there could have been a lot more people going home from the guys group. With them out of the way it was time to bring out another booted contestant, although this one from last year. Danny Gokey performed his newest single which was really entertaining. I always liked him on the show last season.

With the girls elimination looming I was once again thinking more than two could go home and it wouldn't make a big difference in the competition. It's Michelle and Haeley going home. I once sung Haeley's praises but the past few weeks her voice and personality made my skin crawl. Buh-bye!

I finally got through this episode. Why did I waste the time?!?! Nothing too great about it but let's recap anyway.

Crystal's lounge singer performance was OK for a smoke-filled bar but not the Idol stage.

Haeley was less annoying than last week but still not great. She murdered the Beatles last week and there was no redeeming herself.

Lacey was good but I also felt she could've been performing with Crystal in the lounge. Maybe she needs to be in a cover band or something.

Katie was energetic and fun and bubbly. Her personality is hilarious. I was laughing pretty hard at her interview. I think showing it before her performance made her more likeable to me.

Didi's beginning of her song sounded weird but later I really got into it and liked it.

Michelle murdered the song -- not like the good way when they say "you killed it." Everybody seems to be changing up arrangements too much to try show talent but it's screaming bloody murder.

I still really like Lilly. She was the best of the night, although, judging by the rest of the competition, that's not saying much.

Paige was good during the second half of the song. First part was bad, second was good. And it left Simon stroking his nipple during the critique. Did anybody else notice that?

Siobhan was great. I wasn't into the song at the beginning but by the end she had me wanting more.
