^So do I, King. Some of those pics are scary LOL. I just realized I never did post my thoughts about last week. I guess that shows how boring it was last week. Rather then type up some long-ass post, I will just do some quick thoughts. -How ironic that Paula comes out bitching about how there is no room for 4th judges and how it cuts into time when she is the one who uses the most time? Seriously, I nearly spit out my drink last week when she had to go first and had nothing to say and deferred to Simon. She has no idea what to say because she spends too much time dancing and screwing around instead of paying attention so she has to steal comments off the other judges and try to put her own spin on them. I didn't want her to leave because she brings entertainment but enough is enough. Kara has brought credibility to the panel and Paula's bitching is just uncalled for, especially when she is the problem! I did like how they mixed things up a bit last week and alternated the order of the judge's comments but boy did that screw up Paula LOL. I also was LMAO how everything Simon bitched about was fixed. The lighting, where he was sitting, etc. He wanted it to get to him quicker because he was bored and it did. -I'm glad Alison got through. For me, she is the first person this season that gave me a sense she could win this thing. She kind of reminds me of how Jordin Sparks and David Cook snuck up on people and ended up winning. She has that "darkhorse" vibe. To me, Danny Gokey is this year's Archie. He's peaking way too early and I think people will get sick of him eventually. -I'm happy Kris Allen got through too but he's lucky because a.) It was a really shitty week so there was less competition and B.) He's a good looking guy and made a smart, relevant song choice that played to his strengths. He got the girls on his side and presented himself in a nice little package. Believe me, if Anoop or Ricky got as lucky as Kris did, they would be through. I'm happy though. Matt Giraud will be back, no doubt. I actually didn't think he was bad. I actually liked the song choice. It's just not what he is suited for. -I think what Simon said about Adam Lambert was right on. Some moments I heard talent and others I heard nothing but screeching. He reminds me alot of Constantine from season 4. To me, he's a rock poser and a Stephen Tyler wannabe. He doesn't even ease from vocals to the loud shrieking. He either does one or the other. He bugs the hell out of me and I hate how predictable the "pimp" slot is this season. Usually, it doesn't become like that until at least top 12. Anyway, Adam will go home by top 5 for sure, just like Constantine, especially with all the pics coming out LOL. -It was nice seeing Brooke White last week. I liked her song. She is such a nice person. I like them bringing back people from last season. Hope that continues. I know we will see Cook and Archuelta at some point but it's nice seeing the others. -The group performance last week sucked even worse then the first. When will they learn not to turn songs by individual artists into group songs? It always ends up sucking IMO. -Nick Mitchell was hilarious. I don't think I've ever seen someone on their knees near the Idol logo before and I thought Randy was going to have a heart attack LOL. The song choice he made was hilarious too and kudos to him on changing clothes before he came on stage because I actually though he may come out serious. As entertaining as he was, I'm glad he didn't make it. I feel the same way about him as I did for Tatiana. They were entertaining and a part of me wanted them through but it ruins the competition a bit. -Last week was tough to get through, mostly because everyone picked the wrong song. It was the worse all around night in terms of song choice I've ever seen on this show and I think that played a part in the bad ratings for Thursday, in addition to the show being on Thursday when it's not normally. In that case, they better promote the Wild Card show this Thursday more to prevent a ratings drop. I think they will be fine though. Anyway, I knew last week's group would be the weakest of the 3 groups anyway. I did like that Jesse girl a bit, which surprised me since I hated her prior to that. Her song choice sucked though and I was glad that Matt guy went home. Talking back to Simon is like the kiss of death and he was arrogant and his song choice sucked. The wild cards seem easy enough to call at this point. Ricky Braddy (who Paula loves), Anoop, that Meaghan girl, Matt Giraud, maybe if they want to go controversial Nick Mitchell and Tatiana, and probably a few from this week's group, which is stacked IMO. |

Aww, I thought Von Smith was great! I'm not surprised they put him first though. People who perform first usually don't go through because people forget their performances by the end of the show. Taylor Vaifanua = average. Meh. |

Taylor Vaifanua was so dull and lifeless..... She's 17 so hopefully she'll get better even if she doesn't make it through..... |

I thought they were really harsh on her. The song choice wasn't great, but I still think her voice is awesome. I wanna give her a big hug! LoL. |

Kristen McNamara is good, but like the judges, I feel like she's kind of clueless when it comes to the style of music she wants to sing. She was once on "Nashville Star," so it's like... what do you want to be? Country? Rock? Pop? Nathaniel was VERY "meh." He gayed up meatloaf like nobody's business, LoL. |

To me it is like the image and voice don't match. I am so distracted by all the piercings and tattoos with this soft singing voice. They just don't go together. But I think one thing that is bothering me this year is that there are good singers, but whenever they perform they sound exactly the same as the artist who recorded the song. So they are good singers, but all they are doing is a vocal impression of the original artist. I just don't feel like there is really anyone this season that is giving me something new. |

Felicia Barton was pretty good. I like her alot. She reminds me of the lead singer of Heart. Scott MacIntyre is just... I don't know. He's a decent vocalist, but I feel uncomfortable watching him perform. There are many better vocalists than him and I feel like I'll just be pissed off down the road if and when he ends up knocking out people who are better just because of the sympathy vote. |

Personally, I think Von was the best of the night so far. It's too bad they had him perform first though. Most people have probably already forgotten him. :( |

Yeah I sort of feel the same way with him. Also I too feel like he only has one sound or type of music. I think he is good, but is he the best this season...not really. I think it is great that he isn't letting his disability get in the way. Another note, I think they need to start retiring some song from this show. There are some songs that have been used enough on this show that I am tired of seeing them performed. My list would include: Alone by Heart The Alicia Keyes song Taylor sang earlier tonight Don't Let the Sun Go Down by Elton John. |
