"Carly, what I so admire about you is you could probably take every song that I'm not crazy about and make me a believer and make me go buy it, and that's the truth," she said after Carly's performance.Meanwhile, 25-year-old David Cook, who hails from Tulsa , Oklahoma , sang Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and blew away Paula. "I can't sit down.


I've got to tell you how smart you are, how brave you are and how willing you are to stretch the boundaries. You do it right to the edge without going over. I think you're brilliant."David Archuleta did a rendition of David Foster and Jeff Pescetto's "You're the Voice." The 17-year-old from Salt Lake City , Utah also got praises from her. "David, you could sing the phone book and we'd fall in love with that too," said Paula.Paula believed 29-year-old Michael Johns had his moment when he sang the Queens ' "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions.

"This was your moment -- your shining moment -- and I'm so proud of you... It was fantastic," she gushed.Paula also shared that she knew how the contestants feel because she too went through all those experiences. "I know what it's like to want so bad to be able to hit that center spot and be in my zone and create magic...Sometimes it doesn't happen, and then you're forced with rising above adversity and getting out there again," she explained.
