Simon jumps in while Paula tries to swat the bats out of her brain. Jason was "forgettable," David C. okay, Nanny Brooke "a nightmare," David A. "amateurish" and Syesha "old-fashioned," he says.

Round 2

Jason sings "September Morn" well enough but neither Randaula nor Simon is impressed, with Simon predicting Jason will look back at tonight and "not know who this person is." Which is probably true, but for a different reason.

David C. does "All I Really Need Is You." Randaula and Simon seem convinced they are looking at the next American Idol. David C. simpers.

Nanny Brooke's "I Am . . . I Said" gets moderately okay reviews having to do with her vulnerability but mostly out of relief she remembered all the lyrics -- even the one about the deaf chair.

Baby Elmo plays the Kristy Lee Cook Patriot Card, singing "Coming to America" while a U.S. flag waves in the background. He sounds like a performer at Disneyland. We resist the urge to imagine Hannah Montana deflowering him in a Scary-Stage-Parent-arranged sex scandal. Randaula calls the patriotic card his "zone" and Simon calls it "a smart choice of songs . . . it ticked all the boxes."

Syesha's back to sing "Thank the Lord for the Nighttime" and once again she's barefoot, causing Randaula to begin blathering about her Broadway/theatrical place.

Simon says she's demonstrated she's a very good "actress-singer" but predicts she's getting the hook this week.
