7. Chris Richardson – He was in the unfortunate position of singing directly after the Haley Scarnato Hottie Tornado, so he suffered a reverse double-bloop back to Scarnato’s toned legs and exposed back, then a mild one-bloop through his saccharine ballad. He sang it well and looked snap collar perfect, but he just does nothing for me. He’s the male Haley for all the lady viewers. And he’ll definitely be back next week. But hopefully he’ll go back to his signature fast-pace performances, as I’d like to not bloop through him again for a few rounds.
8. Lakisha Jones – When she unleashes the Big Voice she’s bloop free, but when she has to talk through a verse or deal with a slow chorus I can’t hit the bloop button fast enough. She’s safe this week, but if she dropped this type of performance near the end of the season she’d be getting the boot. Plus, if you’re gonna do a Bond theme, why would you not do "Live and Let Die"? Lakisha by way of GnR and The Beatles is a Lakisha I wanna see.
9. Phil Stacey – Phil in that white button down shirt was something out of a THX-1138 deleted scene. Or out of a rerun of Stargate: Atlantis. He has got to start mitigating the bald alien factor. Based on looks alone, he’s a two bloop guy every time. But judged on the voice he’s merely an intermittent one bloop. I love the big notes, yet I involuntarily twitch at the falsetto ones. He’ll be in the bottom three again, but for this week he’ll be okay. But dude, Phil, do NOT wear white again. I thought I was watching one of those bad X-Files episodes where the Duchovny was M.I.A. and Scully had to grin and bear it through another week of oak-acting Robert Patrick.
10. Stephanie Edwards – Stiff as a board + Dull/Beyonce voice, again? = the night’s first double bloop performance. Tactical error on Stephanie’s part, I think. She’ll never out-sing Melinda or Lakisha so slow, big vocal songs aren’t the way to go. She needs to be eclectic with her song choice and really dig her heels into a persona that no one else on the show is occupying. And she needs to find it fast because I’ve double blooped her for two straight weeks and have no intention of slowing down if she survives. I gotta feeling I won’t have to worry about it.

The difference between Sanjaya Malakar and Scott Savol - Scott Savol can sing. Please don't compare the two.

Is it me or does Phil Stacey look like Dr. Evil?

I just wanted to say thank you to Lyn. This is Scott's older sister. I'm sooo tired of people comparing my brother to someone who can barely sing, let alone be able to sing ballad songs. I mean come on, he needs to just give it up and bow out like Mario did the season my brother MADE IT TO THE TOP 5. Never the less, thank you Lyn for sticking up for my brother.

Indeed. Scott had soft tones and did not how to sing. Leagues above Sanjaya
