This week's song:

'Against All Odds'

An 'Odds'-on favorite

Paul has been a specialist with up-tempo numbers, but maybe his comfort zone can be amended to encompassing the '80s as a whole. Adding a new layer of quavering soul to Phil Collins' decade-damaged hit made the song sound fresh and vital, no easy task with something that in its day garnered airplay roughly every 10 minutes. — Chris Barton

'Halo'

Wait, what happened?

Sure, the father-daughter shot at the end of his performance was a bit over the top (and since when has that been a handicap here?), but it's going to take time to process Christina Aguilera's decision to give Campbell the boot after nailing a song that didn't play to his strengths. What kind of world is it where we can't rely on pop singers for their opinions? — Chris Barton

This week's song:

'Please Don't Go'

Strangely moving

There's something undeniably weird about Pavao's vowel-inflating delivery (to say nothing about her lopsided haircut), but her divisive vocal style shines much more brightly when she ditches the drama club stagecraft and keeps it simple. Removed from her previous turns with clown masks and duotone pants, Pavao captured the song's vulnerability. — Chris Barton

Take a look at him now

Paul stood close to the mike for this performance, letting his voice roam the room instead. He showed the art of the slow build, turning an '80s soft rocker into a statement of confidence. — Todd Martens

This week's song:

'Part of Me'

Keep it like a secret

Pop fashionista Lady Gaga flirts with country on her borderline-sappy "You and I." Testone, dare I say, improved on the original, turning nostalgia for days of tomfoolery on the couch into a mission statement for future encounters. — Todd Martens

This week's song:

'Proud Mary'

In bayou country

A scattershot version of the song that rocketed from swampy soul to Broadway-ready rock 'n' roll, but one that showed the expansiveness of Willet's commanding voice. She brought a little Southern grace to the song's opening verses, then hollered to the cheap seats at its end. — Todd Martens

'Halo'

Sent away way too soon

No, this was not Campbell's best performance, but he was one of the best singers on "The Voice," and if this song didn't suit him, I blame his coach, Christina Aguilera. He's on my list to protest his early ouster and is the only "Voice" contestant included because I'm mad at the show for depriving the audience of a say in the matter. — Amy Reiter
