I wanted to post on DU long enough tonight to put my evaluation. Song choices were not very good except for Chris's, Kellie's, Paris's, and Bucky's. And Kellie didn't do all that well anyway. Chris, the rocker, actually had the best performance of the night. Here are my quick ratings:

Ace Young: 7/10
Bucky Covington: 7/10
Chris Daughtry: 9/10
Elliott Yamin: 4/10
Katharine McPhee: 7/10
Mandisa: 7/10
Paris Bennett: 8/10
Taylor Hicks: 5/10
Kellie Pickler: 6/10
