Charlie's singing "It's Not Unusual to Be Loved By You" by Tom Jones. He's up on the piano and running around the auditorium to serenade Nikki and Ryan and he changes up the lyrics to make a plea directly to Ryan to keep him there another week. He's got so much energy and talent, but he's a loose cannon when it comes to taking direction. Ryan says he worries that Charlie's thing, whatever it is, isn't the show. Then Charlie begs to stay.

Nellie's been given "If I Were A Boy" by Beyonce. Her problem is confidence, but when she sings, it's hard to see her as someone lacking that. Her voice is so pure and powerful. Zach, I'm almost certain, had "goosies." Ryan backs me up and says that when Nellie gets behind the microphone, there is no lack of confidence for her. Zach says he's tired of telling her how wonderful she is because there are too many people there with insecurities. They're asking her to be on Glee and she's not fighting for it.

The list is posted. The walk begins.

Aylin is safe. Nellie is safe. Charlie is going home.

Charlie's a theater actor, not a screen actor. Some actors are able to make that switch from stage to screen, but Charlie's not there yet. While I liked him and I think he's incredibly talented, he's been around for about two weeks too long. His lack of professionalism got the best of him.

So what'd you think? Did Ryan and Co. send the right contender home tonight?
