Kristy Lee Cook sang “Rescue Me.” Randy Jackson said, “It wasn’t your best performance.” Paula Abdul said, “Being sick, being the first one, that’s a double whammy, but having said that, don’t let that ever get in the way of your shine and your performance and what you emote.” Simon Cowell said, “The song didn’t suit you. It’s a song really designed for someone who is going to belt out a song. I thought your performance was robotic.”

Joanne Borgella sang “I Say A Little Prayer.” Randy Jackson said, “It felt like your voice was just a little shaky.” Paula Abdul said, “I liked it, I didn’t love it.” Simon Cowell said, “What you just did there was a very average cabaret version of a cabaret song.”

Amanda Overmyer sang “Baby, Please Don’t Go.” Randy Jackson said, “I loved that, man.” Paula Abdul said, “Amanda, I just love everything that you do.” Simon Cowell said, “I think that was a little bit all over the place at times.”
