Let's get right to it:

Dilana - Like Dave, I was shocked that no one jumped on "Won't Get Fooled Again" and a chance to perform with Gilby Clarke. I thought Dilana did a great job with it. It was funny that Gilby sang with her and sounded kind of off key. It was a good way to start the show. She doesn't have a wide range in her voice, but it was a solid performance.

Jill Gioia - Her vocals were good for "Mother, Mother." She added her own twists to the performance and got into it. It was very high-energy. I liked that her vocals were toned down a notch during the verse.

Ryan Star - His vocals continue to get better each week. The black eye makeup may have fit with "Paint It Black," but it was a little too much of an act. His performance still needs work, but he's gotten better over the weeks.

Storm Large - "We Are the Champions" is a tough song, but she did a good job with it. Solid vocals and a comfortable performance.

Zayra Alvarez - Another odd outfit, another bad vocal performance. I couldn't understand half of what she sang. Magni was on guitar with her, and I'm not sure why. I can say she has plenty of confidence and stage presence.

Josh Logan - Tommy Lee surprised him by saying he's play with him on "Interstate Love Song." Josh seemed a little rattled by that and missed some lyrics. He's a good singer, but it was a little off key and a weak performance.

Magni - It was a solid, solo acoustic performance. They said he was the first to do that, but Ryan performed solo on piano, didn't he? I thought it was Magni's best yet - vocals, performance and presence.

Patrice Pike - She's not bad, but she doesn't have "it." She's good, but not great. Compared to the rest, it was weak.

Lukas Rossi - He showed a softer side to his vocals with "Creep." He showed range and his true voice and it was very well done. His best performance yet.

Toby Rand - He brought an edge to "Burning Down the House." It was one of his better performances ... until he brought out the megaphone, which was just odd and not good vocally.

It's getting tougher to call, but my bottom three would be: Josh, Patrice and Zayra.
