"With apologies to Taylor Hicks, the real soul patrol was hard at work last night. A few of the contestants took the night&amp;#039;s theme\u2014soul and R&amp;amp;amp;B\u2014and ran with it. But some others sounded more like tortured souls. Lee Dewyze: My favorite of the night. His version of &amp;quot;Treat Her Like a Lady&amp;quot; was a treat. He has lots of fans, but I think many more people are going to take notice of him after this. As Simon said, &amp;quot;This was the night your life may have changed forever.&amp;quot; Andrew Garcia: At last! The Andrew I loved from auditions is back! He stripped down &amp;quot;Forever&amp;quot; to an acoustic number that worked at every level. And the judges were just as happy as I was to see Andrew back on track, although Simon did complain that Andrew was still too boring. Crystal Bowersox: Is there anything this girl can&amp;#039;t do? She ditched the guitar in favor of the piano to tackle &amp;quot;Midnight Train to Georgia,&amp;quot; and when she got to the sweet spot of the song, her voice soared. Loved it! Simon warned her against losing her identity, but I don&amp;#039;t think there&amp;#039;s any danger of that. She&amp;#039;s authentic to the core. Michael Lynche: I knew he&amp;#039;d do well; R&amp;amp;amp;B is his genre, after all. What surprised me was his song choice. His acoustic take on India.Arie&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Ready for Love&amp;quot; was simply beautiful. Casey James: The more I see him, the more I like him. He sang &amp;quot;Hold On, I&amp;#039;m Coming&amp;quot; and you could tell he was having a blast. This bluesy soul classic was right up his alley and he handled it with ease\u2014electric guitar in hand, an easy smile on his face and that raspy voice in fine form. When he&amp;#039;s at his peak, as he was last night, he gives off a real Clapton-esque vibe. Siobhan Magnus: She struggled with &amp;quot;Through the Fire&amp;quot; last night. Even hitting a big note couldn&amp;#039;t make up for the fact that her performance was inconsistent at best. Kara said everyone was entitled to an &amp;quot;off night.&amp;quot; Hopefully, that&amp;#039;s all it was. Aaron Kelly: He did fine with &amp;quot;Ain&amp;#039;t No Sunshine,&amp;quot; but it wasn&amp;#039;t anything to get excited about. Strictly middle of the road. Didi Benami: She sang &amp;quot;What Becomes of the Brokenhearted&amp;quot; and I&amp;#039;m afraid Didi may be the one who&amp;#039;s brokenhearted tomorrow night. Her performance wasn&amp;#039;t very good. As Randy said, she simply &amp;quot;flatlined.&amp;quot; Katie Stevens: She tackled Aretha Franklin and Aretha got the best of her. Katie&amp;#039;s rendition of &amp;quot;Chain of Fools&amp;quot; was a bit too much for her to handle. She had some nice moments, but not enough to add up to a knockout performance. Randy saw flashes of Christina Aquilera, but I&amp;#039;m with Simon: Randy must be nuts if he thinks Katie compares to the likes of Christina. Tim Urban: He sucked every last once of soul out of Anita Baker&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Sweet Love.&amp;quot; One long, boring, bland monotone from start to finish. He laughed off the judges&amp;#039; critiques\u2014and why not? As Simon rightly pointed out, it doesn&amp;#039;t matter what the judges say. Tons of teen girls are going to vote for Tim anyway, talent or no talent. His nickname isn&amp;#039;t Teflon Tim for nothing. This makes me crazy! I want him outta here! \u2014Angela Ebron "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
