We may or may not always have Paris, but we shouldn't get attached to any particular hairstyle. That's what we learned from Ryan's unusually in-depth pre-song chat.

Hair's fine tonight, but more important, she's passing the close-my-eyes test, despite being what Paula might call "a little pitchy."

Or is "pitchy" so last season?

Even Paula's not raving, but Simon, just to be contrary, thinks she was "very good."

Possibly "early Dionne Warwick."

So there.
