The legendary Queen was the high water mark for the hopeful contestants. Let’s do a quick recap.

Growling and pacing like a caged tiger, Bucky just didn’t have what it takes to escape from banality. He is definitely a country singer and tonight he remained incarcerated.

 Ace told us that he wanted his fans to “feel” his music rock inner self with “We Will Rock You.” This is a powerfully physical song. What I felt was weakness.  He failed and may have purchased his ticket home.

 Dressed  in black leather and stiletto heeled boots, Kellie tried to make herself appeared to be a midnight vamp. It did not work and I felt embarrassed for her.

 Queen is the blood that courses through Chris’ veins. Tonight he should have exploded upon the stage and had us all jumping on our seats. He came close, real close, but the fire just wasn’t blazing. This was his chance to wipe out all competition but he failed to score a clear cut win.

 Daring to leave the world of rock far behind, Katharine continues to radiate with a smile that launches a thousand beating hearts. With soft shadow stage lighting perfecting her appearance, she sang us a ballad of forever love. Yet even with a slight crackle at the song’s ending, she was the best vocalist of the evening.

Then we experienced Elliot’s “Somebody to Love.” Poor Elliot, he stretched himself too thin. It was a much bigger song than he could perform.

Rock’n and Roll’n Taylor danced his way across the stage and into the audience. He certain provided us with the best overall entertainment singing ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” But is he too stuck in the 1950s to become today’s American Idol?

 Hot dangerous beauty Paris continually stuns us with her vocals, her commanding stage presentation and her confidence. Paris , you really rock us!

 Tonight we had some clear winners. If you want your favorite to stick around, then start dialing for your American Idol
