Rolling Stone Night

I'm watching the snacks - kid and s.o. eating mini drumsticks while I enjoy a lemon cake from Jenny Craig.
Overall, the contestants screwed up the Stones - made their songs ballady, slow, sentimental and sleepy. The standouts:
Casey James - sang it well, plays great guitar. The best so far but he could do better. Simon agrees.
Sibbhon - Paint it Black. Wow, what a note. The best so far. Simon agrees. Her outfit is interesting too - the prom-ish dress with the boots and a tattoo on her shoulder. She is so unique. I even like to listen to her talk.
Paige - pretty good Honky Tonk Woman. More rock than anyone else, more original Rolling Stones, but she's still not one of my favorites.
Aaron Kelly - Angie. If I close my eyes and don't let the kid-ness cloud my opinion, he's really good. He put a lot of emotion into the song. Second best behind Sibbhon tonight.
Crystal - the best for last.You Can't Always Get What You Want. You should get to be the winner of this competition, girl. You are amazing! And better and better every week.
The rest fall way behind:
Michael - Miss You. Changing it too much so you can't even recognize the tune. Lots of theatrics but not much substance. Too showoffy.
Didi B - too ballady, too slow. Playing With Fire.
Lacey Brown - RubyTuesday, like her voice. Pretty good but much too sleepy.
Andrew Garcia - what's with his mom? She looked like she was in a coma. Just a bit flat and boring. Ellen says it was his best but she doesn't really know what she's talking about.
Can't wait for Crystal...
Katy Stevens - floofy fluffy dress, singing Rolling Stones. She's ruined Wild Horses, making it into a soppy ballad. Simon gave her that finger thing he does.
Tim Urban - goofy Jesus smile and lady hands. We don't like Tim. Why slower and slower? With a reggae beat?? Simon gave Tim the finger too. Hmmm... Kind of a dope, not the Randy kind.
Lee Dewyse- Beast of Burden. Don't know.. guess I'm used to the real thing. Randy thinks it's dope. It was just a little too soft, not rough enough. But I like him. I can see him at the end.
Those who deserve to get the boot: Tim, Katy, Andrew, Michael, maybe Paige.
