Okay, I gotta weigh in on tonight's show. I love some of Billy Joel's songs. Some did them justice, others.....not so much.

"She's Got a Way" is probably one of my absolute favorites from him. It is best sung simply. Thank you Joshua for bastardizing the song. Okay I'll admit I got chills at one point, but it was most definitely not the right song choice for his style.

Erika looks fabulous with the new look, and the performance matched. Her best thus far.

Elise was awesome too, and I haven't been too crazy about her.

Hollie needs to sing an uptempo song stat, or she's heading down the same road Pia was on last year.

I hate saying this because Jessica is a terrific singer, but she just doesn't move me. At all.

"Piano Man" is probably Billy Joel's most iconic song, and I'd say Colton did it justice. However, I could've done without some of the squeaks that he tends to have (probably part of his style). Without those, it would've been one of my favorites tonight.

Can I take Skylar home with me?? She and Kelly can be my little sisters
OMG you read my mind.  On everything.  I really want to like Colton, and I think he did a great job with Piano Man (the arrangement was amazing).  But the one thing I can't get past is the squeak in his voice - I'm not sure if it's a stylistic thing or what, but it's just annoying and so obvious.  Chris Daughtry has also been doing it lately, so I'm thinking it's a style thing, but I don't like it on him either.

Heejun was completely karaoke.  He needs to go, like now.
