It was back to the round of 24 for the guys… less than the best performances. As they went through the review of all the performances it was obvious that this was a crappy series.

EH:
Blake Lewis (okay, I'm done with the beat-boxing… and 311 is your favorite band ever? are you kidding me?… I'm just getting tired of the sound effects… his best move next week is to do a ballad, as Chris did)
Sundance Head (that's it man! you just stepped on hallowed ground… I was half-way there to liking you, because of the fat joke and the cleaner cut… and then you picked my favorite Pearl Jam song ever and you just cannot compete with Eddie… not happy; not at all)

BAD:
Sanjaya Malakar (same crap, new hairstyle… someone should tell him that the words he is singing mean something, and that he is allowed to show an emotion besides 'paste-on smile', but he'll be back again if Vote for the Worst has anything to say about it)
Jared Cotter (What was that song? First really fast, then slow, then fast… was that about the song or something else?! His voice was just plain off and it was funky in a bad way… but he'll be back)
Phil Stacy (the start of that song sounded like he was underwater and the high notes were all very awkward… speaking of which, someone has to stop that guy from wearing hats - they just look awful on him… bald head or go home)

GOOD:
Chris Richardson (nice little backstory this week… song was okay vocally, but it was a great choice and probably hit the females right in the heart)
Brandon Rogers (that's his genre… that's what he'll make an album doing… and it helps that he looks the part of a Lenny Kravitz)

BEST:
Chris Sligh (and then there is Chris… as far as the guys go… the rest can just go home)
