- The Wise Children: Crystal Bowersox, for having the best control of phrasing on this show other than, maybe, Melinda Doolittle; Lee Dewyze, for returning to secret-sleeper status with a solid performance; The Outlaw Casey James, for staying in his box and doing it well; Big Mike Lynche, who took an India.Arie song I've never heard before, arranged it interestingly and sold it well; and Andrew Garcia, who delivered his before performance since That One on that wedding procession song. He's not going to win this thing, nor should he, but on its own that was nice.
- The Simple Children: Katie and Aaron seem totally competent, and neither of these children interest me at all.
- The Children Who Don't Know How To Improve: Tim Urban, who gets props for reviving Anita Baker's "Sweet Love" but had nothing interesting to do with it; Didi Benami, perhaps appropriately, delivered an unleavened performance. That pile of dough did not rise.
- The Wicked Child: Oh, Siobhan, you're awesome -- but that was legitimately the worst performance of the night. Sharp, shrieky, wrong. And she'd absolutely deserve Idol Immunity, but they didn't use it for Alexis Grace just one week sooner in the competition last year. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
