I remember reading in the thread here that people were having trouble with his line.

Not the same type of problem but it shows there were problems.

Elliot was a bit scared on his first song.

Kat murdered the melody of her first song.

Taylor is almost unwatchable when he sings angry, nice to see Paula channeling Courtney Cox on the stage behind the judges.

Hmmm...Elliott's first song was a little pitchy in places.

Elliot's second song was more in-line with his groove, but still not too inspired.

Kat's second song started well, then got really Zzzzzzz, but then she got a second wind, though the sitting on the floor still looks odd to me. She does sound better with less instruments backing her. Her dad had much more tears pouring from his eyes than usual.

Taylor's second song made him look like a kid in his facial expressions, but he was bringing home the passion.

This is the first time all season I've seen Taylor not be confident during a song. I don't agree with Simon in that was his "best performance".

I have to agree that was his best performance...When he is just up there singing, he is very good.

OK the audience needs to stop booing every time they think they hear a derogatory comment.

BTW, if the song is sharp, it's sharp.
