Yeah, last night was awful overall, and almost none of them were as good as they have been. Part of it was that format where they found out they made it and suddenly had to perform in front of a live audience and on stage for the first time.

My favorite might have been the girl who did the Grace Potter song and got attacked by Harry for it. What was his deal? I liked her answer about why she chose the song, and I like the attitude she brought to it. And at least she stayed in tune, which was better than most of the girls. I also didn't get Harry going in on that girl regarding "Paint It Black." She wasn't wrong when she said it's about darkness. I think Harry just likes to try and show off and hear himself talk. It's annoying.

In general I didn't get the song choices. "Roar" is not a song you choose to introduce yourself to "America" on, and "Happy" isn't exactly vocal/artistic showcase either. MK had the best song choice of the night with "All of Me" because it fit into her [limited] range well and allowed for emotional impact.
