RANDOM THOUGHTS: It's pretty clear to me that the girls got the best studio recordings this week. My favorites are Haley Reinhart's You And I and also Lauren Alaina's Flat On The Floor. These are undeniably pretty strong recordings that I honestly think are radio-ready. I mean it! Release it now as a single and this will possibly be a hit for both of them - the fact that these are relatively obscure songs of both Lady Gaga and Carrie Underwood. I also enjoy James Durbin's Closer To The Edge version. Obviously, his pitch problems are not here, which makes the experience better. Scott McCreery also delivers a pretty decent recording with Always On My Mind. The other one is a bit twangy for my taste, but it's still a good one. As for Jacob Lusk, fans will his efforts. That's all.
NOW:
James Durbin: Closer To The Edge
Jacob Lusk: No Air

THEN:
