I think would almost rather have a “bigger” vulnerability.

This week’s theme was the toughest yet. I am not an insecure person in any shape or form. I am comfortable in my own skin, so finding that makes me vulnerable was incredibly tough. But I think “numb” was the correct word for me. If I had to pick one problem I do have it would be that my feelings constantly change, and sometimes I don’t really feel at all. I thought it was appropriate, but it certainly hid in the background compared to some of the others!!!

Being in the Bottom 3 last week was tough. I was set to give my best this week. When I found out the theme of the week was "Vulnerability,” I was very excited to give it my best shot. I knew that, for me, it wouldn't be hard to reach deep down and use those memories of how I used to feel back in the day for being different.

Labels aside, he has a great voice, but I'm not sure I could listen to an entire cd of it. It doesn't seem to me like he has much variety vocal-wise.

(3) Damian: Being a Celtic Thunder fan, I'm going to be totally biased...

Alex: I love Alex's voice and general confidence. He knows who he is and won't let people change that. That is something I really admire about him. He also has a killer voice. I'm always in awe of his vocal range.

Cameron: He's adorable. I love how he just does his own thing and the fact that he's a self proclaimed nerd, much like myself has also made me love him all the more. he's such a great natural dancer and performer in general. I'm totally fangirling him.

Damian: he has this corky, awkward charm about him. It only adds to his character though. I love how he laughs his mistakes off and...
