So who's it gonna be?

Good show.  I was at least mildly entertained throughout, but the music only really got through to me on a couple of occasions.  Brett, James and Casey are definitely my top picks for the night.  I'd be VERY surprised if all three of them didn't make it through the next round.  Have fun voting everyone!

Jacob Lusk

I didn't like his choice of song for reasons of personal taste, but I've got to admit he's got a fairly good voice.  It took me about halfway through the song to convince me of it, though.  Could have started off with better energy to catch my attention.

Awesome growl! And love that cocky ending.

In my oppinion, Casey is the best singer of the night.  Maybe it's just because I love that soulful sound, but he completely convinced me.  Intoxicating voice full of fire.  I enjoyed every second of it, but especially those growls and high notes.  And that ending with the look right at the camera... So sexy.  I gotta hear more for this guy.  I hope he goes far.

Loosing energy...but still solid

Paul started off strong, but I could feel him losing energy throughout.  I started to feel a little unstable watching his wobbly shuffling around the stage.  Maybe the judges think it's "unique", but I'm not quite buying it. 
Still a pretty solid performance, though.  His voice has a very different quality than any of the other contestants.  A little more high buzz and nasal tone than we're used to, but not in an unpleasant way at all.  That's what he's got going for himself at present.  Like JLo said, his smile is one of the best things about him as well.  It's quite infectious in the best of ways.

Twins?

Paul Mcdonald and Bradley Cooper= Separated at Birth?

Convincing cover

I was a little worried about Stefano at the start because of his song choice.  "Just the Way You Are" is a pop standard that's still all over the radio.  It takes a lot to convince fans of the original song to vote for a cover like that, but I think he did just that for a lot of people.  That one high note on "aaaaaare!" was shaky, but I can let it go in light of the rest of his performance.

I finally agree with randy

Stefano, is totally marketable. Very cute! I can tell he will be sucsessful whether or not he moves on to the next round!
