I agree totally with your choices of the “stand out” performances of last show. I love…love…love Nora Jones and to have some one who could come in and do her music was a nice treat for me. The only down fall I see with that is Simon as been very critical of those that have a “cabaret” sound so I hope that does not work against her.

David Cook … well I have to say I am always glad to see a rocker in the bunch and to do Bon Jovi acappela was not easy task but he pulled it off with great ease. Thumbs up !

Leo…Leo…Leo… I have to say I was not expecting him to do Donnie and you are right if you can do Donnie you can blow.

On a different note was it me or did Paula seems a little “out of sorts” last night?

All in all I enjoyed last night a little more with out all the back stories. But I am ready for them to get down to it!
