Your Top 13

Wasn't last night's Idol kick-ass? Of course due in part because of the talent of the singers, but also majorly because of Michael Jackson's songbook, yeah?

Lil: I do like this Mom. She has a likable personality and that big voice, and although I do think she sounds like a copycat of a few other R&B singers, I always notice a hint of her accent (whether it's a Memphis one or a Lil' one in her voice). Wish she didn't sing The Way You Make Feel (or as she sang, "Feelin'"), but it was a'ight, dawg.

Scott: Blind guy! Nice guy! Talented piano player! Hot brother walks him out! Pleasing James Taylor voice! Too boring for the show?

Alison: The resident weird chick. Don't get me wrong, I'll take weird over beaty queen polished types any day. Great voice, good stage presence.

Jasmine: Resident beatuy queen. The little lady is poised, and she didn't butcher I'll Be There. OK.

Kris: Resident cutie. Resident talented cutie. Resident talented cutie with a cute wife. Simon is right; he probably shouldn't have had most of his intro being about his wife. I remember I used to have a crush on Chris Richardson of a prior season, and then my crush JUST STOPPED as soon as I saw him leaving a club with Lauren Conrad. Dunno if I was stupidly jealous or whether I labeled him as a star fucker at that moment, but you know how immature girls can be sometimes. And immature girls are the type to vote on this show.

Anoop: Well they really beat him up for singing Beat Up, huh? Do you really think it was that bad? I didn't at all. Say what you will about its karaokeiness, that Anoop has a great tone to his voice and is super pleasant.

Megan Joy: LOVE this girl. LOVE that performance. She isn't just the beauty this season; she's enchantingly interesting. Who else would make singing Rockin' Robin so watchable? I love this lady, but I'm not sure what America likes the quality of her voice...

Jorge: Poor Jorge is so sweet with so much heart, but I think America no longer wants a balladeer type, right?

Danny: Well, duh, he's amazing. The dancing was strange. But he is amazing.

Micheal: The oil rigger has a lot of heart, but I'm just not sure he's as talented or polished as everyone else.

Matt: He does a good job being the soul singer, I'll give him that. Is he likable?

Alexis: Alexis closed the night by oversinging and looking plain-faced during judges' critques. She's a soulful little minx (so tiny which such tiny clothing!), but I'm not sure yet if she's the next Kelly Clarkson like Simon mused last time out she sang.

Adam: Wow. the beautiful drama queen killed it last night. Singing Black or White, he emulated confidence, heart, rhythm, and a whole lot of stage presence. I wasn't tearing up like Paula, but last night he sang a message and bowled us over with a performance that was anything but karoake. I don't think someone like Adam would have worked say, season 2, but welcome to 2009 baby! We are lovin' it.

I don't even want to guess who's leaving; I enjoyed last night that much.
