Here's how they fared (in order of appearance):
Ta-Tynisa Wilson rihanna.only girl
What?! Only Girl? This could be the Jordan Dorsey performance of the night (see previous entry). Yep, I'm going to go with a No here - didn't like it. She was all over the place. Only positive: she poured her heart into it and tried to give a good show. Too bad, she's going to share the same fate as her fellow all-over-the-place performer, Jordan.

Naima Adedapo george gershwin.summertime
One of my pre-show picks. She stays rocking these colorful get-ups. First contestant to walk toward the judges table this season. Overall, this girl's got it.
Kendra Chantelle christina aguilera.impossible
I don't remember this girl from any of the previous rounds - kind of like this season's Michelle Delamor (S9) in terms of exposure up until this point. Tough to explain this, or how it happens, but her voice sounds like a little girl's when she hits her high notes. I hope this girl's not 17, because Steven Tyler just creeped on her. Mannerism side note: She has a little Blake Lively-in-The-Town vibe...aka she acts drugged up.

Rachel Zevita fiona apple.criminal
Okay! I see you - she knocked that mic stand down like she meant business. Then trekked her way all the way up and past the judges table...1-upping Naima (see Naima above) and becoming the first contestant this season to actually reach the judges table. That was a solid performance - the judges have to stop hating.
Karen Rodriguez mariah carey.hero
First off, she should definitely keep her hair up. Few bars into Hero...chikka chikka bilingual remix! This is hot. Great powerful note in the middle there. Damn, that was hot.
...commercial...
Ryan trying to pimp J.Lo's new single On The Floor. I listened to it. Don't waste your time.
Lauren Turner etta james.seven day fool
Unless she has really small nails, it looks like she didn't bother painting her nails...but instead left that paint-chipping-off-look. A part of me gives her props for not giving a f---. Part of me says 'come on - you're on national TV.' If I notice this, a good number of others have to too. Performance-wise, this girl has a big voice and I like her swagger.

Ashtyn Jones monica.love all over me
Beyonce. Meh. She owned the stage, but vocally..meh. I hope she gets through on attitude alone. She's got something about her.
...Idol following the same exact commercial pattern as yesterday...
Julie Zorilla kelly clarkson.breakaway
Singing Kelly Clarkson. A little flat so far. Actually, flat throughout the entire performance. Something just didn't sound right. At least her hair's on point. She's going to need America's vote at this point, because I think J.Lo just retracted any wildcard pick she would've given to her. At least I would take it back...after that performance.
Haley Reinhart alicia keys.fallin
Personal note (see previous entry) = bubbly girl with huge smile. Some of these should-be-sultry movements are coming off as painfully-awkward-to-watch. I'd say the performance overall, with more weight going toward the vocals, was good though.

Primetime now for the final 3 girls.
Thia Megia irene cara.out here on my own
My pre-show favorite, performing in the same slot as my pre-show favorite on the Guys' side - Paul. Please don't disappoint. Perfect song choice so far meaning-wise. That slow song was a nice change of pace. I liked it and I like her. Let's hope she gets through.
Lauren Elaina reba mcentire.turn on the radio
Straight hair = definitely better than what frizzy hair does for her look..the Katelyn Epperly (S9) look doesn't work. I didn't really think she was all that good before tonight, and only thought she stood out because of her singing of Don't Wanna Miss A Thing...but now, I see it. She can sing. I'm starting to see what others see in her.
...commercial...
Pia Toscano the pretenders.i'll stand by you
One of my early favorites. Best for last? Her performance of Grenade was hot in Hollywood. O snap, the tear-jerker Pretenders song...reminds me of the first Relay For Life video I'd seen. Yo! She killed it! ...And gets a standing o from the judges (first one this season...she just 1-upped both Naima and Rachel).
RANKINGS (of their performances tonight)
1. Pia
2. Lauren E
3. Thia
4. Karen
5. Naima
6. Haley
7. Lauren T
8. Rachel
9. Ashtyn
10. Kendra
11. Ta-Tynisa
12. Julie
The 5 I want to get through: Pia, Thia, Karen, Naima, Haley
The 5 America will vote through: Pia, Ashtyn, Lauren E, Naima, Haley
I don't know if Thia has America's vote, and Karen might be forgotten when it comes to voting. Otherwise, I'll probably agree with America once the results are revealed Thursday. Also, Julie = huge disappointment.
