Mimi's past her sell-by-date. If she was in the competition, she'd have been eliminated.

Laura was good in Week 1, but has been in decline ever since. She was ruined by the stylists, and standing up from the piano while the backing track continued to play was fatal.

Ruth was so much better. She's brought heart to this competition - KOHD and Purple Rain have been the highlights so far. I want to see passion and spirit, not 'chum whaay ovah da ray-bowwww'.
