Tonight we play tribute to one of the biggest rock bands in the history of music.
The Rolling Stones
It's going to be a massive show. 450 screaming fans are in the audience so the stage is set for the competition proper to begin.
Let's get into it.
Here is the voting information.

Miss You

Judges comments:
Simon: You've definitely got your confidence up after last week but I thought your performance, particularly your dancing, was a little corny.
Kara: First night. Big stage. You have to fill up the stage. You delivered the stones and were hot on stage.
Randy: I wasn't so crazy about the arrangement but you slayed it. Way to start the show dawg
Ellen: What's not to love about that. That's the way to start the night.
My thoughts: That was a pretty hot way to open the show.

Play With Fire

Judges comments:
Simon: You're beginning to show us who you are as an artist. Very good choice of song. Solid but not brilliant performance. I think you can still do better than that.
Kara: I loved the intensity you attacked the lyrics with. You're moving more towards who you are as an artist.
Randy: I think for the first time in weeks, that was your best performance.
Ellen: I was proud you got back into the song and loved how you turned the word fire into two syllables
My thoughts: I actually really liked that. Definitely my favorite performance of hers.
Casey James
It's All Over Now
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: That was like an audition performance for me. You didn't do something incredible on that stage and you need to start using it as a platform and be a star.
Kara: I thought previously that you were trying to be a rock star. Tonight you were a rock star.
Randy: You're back to the Casey that I love.
Ellen: I thought it was fantastic
My thoughts: Casey bores me. He can sing ok and can play a reasonable guitar but his performance just has nothing to draw me in. Perhaps I'm just the wrong demographic.

Judges comments:
Simon: You perform like an actress. It's very thought through. I think you need to stop overthinking. Nothing wrong with the vocal though.
Kara: It was 50/50 for me. there were definitely some issues with the vocals. I think you could have put more into it.
Randy: It wasn't a wow moment but you held it together and it was the most interesting song of the night so far.
Ellen: It was a tiny bit sleepy for me but I'm a fan of yours.
My thoughts: It was a little pitchy but it sounded like it could be a radio single.
Andrew Garcia
Gimme Shelter
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: Something didn't quite connect with the song. I genuinely hope you survive another week.
Kara: I wanted to feel what you were talking about so it was the connection I was missing.
Randy: I love you but it was just pitchy everywhere.
Ellen: I think that was your best performance yet but what do I know.
My thoughts: This is another step backwards from Andrew. The start of the song sounded like he couldn't hear the beat. Pretty disappointing.
Katie Stevens
Wild Horses
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: This is the only week where you've chosen a really strong song but I didn't like the second half of the arrangement.
Kara: It's never technically perfect with you. Definitely better than last week.
Randy: I thought it was a very strong performance
Ellen: I thought it started a little pitchy but once you got into it it was great. Good choice of song.
My thoughts: Despite this being an older sounding song, it's still boring. Just because it's an old song doesn't mean you can't inject some youthful energy into it.
Tim Urban
Under My Thumb
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: I have to applaud you too but it's quite a boring song anyway but it didn't work. Most Rolling Stones fans would have turned their televisions off after that. I think that was a crazy decision.
Kara: I've got to applaud you for doing something incredibly different with the song.
Randy: I didn't get that man. I didn't really like the reggae version. I didn't understand it.
Ellen: I felt like I was at a resort. You sounded great but you didn't wow us.
My thoughts: Again, boring. What was he thinking? Oh.. he could never be the Rolling Stones so he tried to do something different. Did it work? No.
Siobhan Magnus
Paint it Black
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: I think it was the stand out performance tonight. Now I can see the development from those middle shows. There will be a lot of people who will love that but there will be a lot of people who would hate it.
Kara: I'm having flash backs of Adam Lambert. Most interesting.
Randy: Bringing the drama to season 9. That was hot.
Ellen: I love th
e way you look. I love the way you sound.
My thoughts: Siobhan is amazing. She starts off so subtly and then by the end she is rocking it. Definitely the performance of the night so far.
Lee Dewyze
Beast of Burden
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: Your personality doesn't shine. You have an incredibly good voice and I pray that you'll be back next week to give us a moment on this stage. I feel that you think people are better than you.
Kara: Every week you're getting better. We should celebrate your tremendous growth.
Randy: I thought that was one of your better performances
Ellen: I was expecting more from you. It was like a hospital gown. It didn't quite come together.
My thoughts: Boring. Lee has such a long way to go if you wants to be a memorable performer. That was just dull.
Paige Miles
Honky Tonk Woman
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: Taking into account the fact that you had laryngitis this week, that was great. There were moments where we heard the big voice we loved in Hollywood.
Kara: For someone who has had issues with your voice this week, you hit some big notes. I think Paige is back.
Randy: You did alright with that. I wish it had more energy but I liked it.
Ellen: You have such great presence on stage.
My thoughts: Definitely better than she has been in the past but it was still a little shaky in parts vocally.

Judges comments:
Simon: I did fear for you this week but actually you absolutely chose the right song. You sang it within the limit of your rang and it was believable.
Kara: When you connect with the feeling of the song it's really powerful
Randy: Your mum was absolutely right. You were born to sing. The tender moments were like Justin Timberlake. I thought it was hot.
Ellen: I thought that was such a great song choice for you and next to Siobhan it was the best tonight.
My thoughts: It wasn't massive but it was sung well.
Crystal Bowersox
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Voting Information
Judges comments:
Simon: You came out tonight the 100% clear favorite but this is the first time I think you've been beaten by someone.
Kara: You loosened up tonight. It's so easy to watch.
Randy: I always look forward to you. It wasn't your best performance though.
Ellen: you are so much fun to watch on stage. You've got the singing though so have fun on stage.
My thoughts: Love Crystal. She's awesome. Definitely another brilliant performance from her.
Bottom three this week? Andrew Garcia, Katie Stevens and Tim Urban. Somehow I suspect it will be Lacey Brown in there somewhere though.
Catch you tomorrow for the results and performances by
David Cook and
Ke$ha
