AI: Season 6, Round of 11 (British Invasion)

Let's start it out tonight with a little bit of fashion. Haley is looking HOT! Sanjaya is now cutting his own clothing. Melinda's hair now shapes her head in an egg-like package.

Why does Paula always have to act like she is testifying before Congress, leaning in to the microphone, and changing her tone when she gives advice?

Rising stock:
Haley Scarnato (where did those legs come from? where did the back of that shirt go?… she had a great stage performance and it sounded pretty good, too)
Blake Lewis (who's your daddy? c'mon… he handled that really high stuff well… I just don't understand why he has to beatbox something that the drummer is playing already… it's like a selfish tick… but it was really good… I just hate how cocky he comes across, but I think the ladies respond to the confidence)

Falling stock:
Chris Richardson (I find his voice not well-suited for a ballad, I didn't like it as much as the judges… everything comes out his nose… he'll be safe for a while)
Phil Stacy (if you're going to sing about coming from hardship, it helps to look like you had a rough childhood… it's the goofiness of karaoke with a really good voice… did you guys have fun? huh? did ya?… um, no)
Chris Sligh (that was just weird, the crowd thing was too long, and then all of a sudden it's upbeat… weird for me)

Hold:
Stephanie Edwards (the orchestra did a lot of work on that song… the song lacked a lot of movement)
LaKisha Jones (this sounded like a song from a James Bond film… I just wanted to animate some funky Bond film opening to it… it's weird to have a woman who should be doing gospel, singing a sexy bond song)
Jordin Sparks (she often acts her age away from her singing, and I think that may become annoying for people… being overcome with excitement is okay for only so long… at some point I want to see her come to grips with the attention of the limlight… the song was boring, but she sang it well)
Gina Glocksen (the drums were too muddy when it was just her and the drums… a frantic song with frantic results)
Melinda Doolittle (he or she? who's she singing to? not really questioning, but the changing pronouns were weird)

Speculative Stock:
Sanjaya Malakar (it was better than prior weeks… and WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THAT GIRL??!!!… what is happening?… awkward has met a new level of awkwardness… he has to go, or else he touring people, touring!)

My countdown prediction:
12: Sanjaya Malakar (Brandon Rogers)
11: Sanjaya Malakar
10: Phil Stacy
9: Stephanie Edwards
8: Haley Scarnato
7: Blake Lewis
6: Chris Richardson
5: Gina Glocksen
4: Jordin Sparks
3: Chris Sligh
2: LaKisha Jones
1: Melinda Doolittle
