Lol, MRC!

BTW, I still peg Casey for 2nd place. He's this year's Blake.

Lee – I named him my new favorite. At least for this week.
Casey – It was nice. Love his voice. I don’t get the hype about his looks though. And that whole Kara thing has been played enough already and we're still sitting at top 24.
Joe – Pleasant surprise.
Aaron – I thought that was a great choice for him. He has some quality to his voice that I like.
Andrew – It wasn’t great but he’s good.
Alex – I was too focused on his voice to notice the uncomfortableness of the whole thing. I guess? I really liked his voice.
Tyler Grady – wah. I wanted him to be better. Still like him lots though. If he comes out next week with spiky hair and a sparkly Ed Hardy t-shirt, I’m going to be bummed. Not that there’s anything wrong with spiky hair and unreal t-shirts, I quite like them. I just don’t want to see Tyler’s trip to the mall change his style.
Michael Lynche – it was fine.
John Park – A different song would have done wonders, I think.
Tim Urban – He is adorable but ouch.
Todrick – bonus point for trying to be creative puts him above Jermaine, who I couldn’t even listen too.
Jermaine – ack. I ff’ed.

I'm just dittoing Glowie here.

I don't know if I'm going to enjoy this season at all. So far there's no one I'm pulling for and usually by this time I'm already a fan of a couple. This time around I'm just "meh".

{{{ HUGS }}}

Nice to see you here again! And, we agree!!

"I think what Randy Travis was trying to say was 'What the hell was that?!'" - S. Cowell

Gosh, I really thought all the noises that came out of my TV were universally bad with the boys last night. I think I'm going to rank them all at 12.

At least I liked a few of the girl's performances but I'm having a hard time trying to force myself to do a rewatch to try and rank them out.

If this keeps up, this will be a long season.

We need to come up with some sort of drinking game for this season because I don't think I'll be able to watch it otherwise. That or can we skip ahead to top 7? And I am already dreading the torture that some theme nights will bring, designed to eliminate contestants one by one who are threats to their plan. Crystal pulling ahead? Here comes Broadway tunes night.

Absolutely agree!!! DH & I sat through the two nights and said, 'we need a drinking game in order to keep watching this'!

Yikes.

This was a horrendous nite. I watched it on DVR and ffed through parts and it still seemed like forever to get through the 2 hours. Can we call it a 24 person tie now and be done with it?

Like smidge, it took me a long time to rank these...I kept running out of the higher nos to assign them!

1. Lee D-nice tone to his voice but this was not really that great just best of this awful nite

2. Aaron K-I think I'm having a mother hen/baby chick thing with him. He is just so darn cute, you know like a puppy. The tweeners will keep him in this thing until at least top 12

3. Mike L-I like him even if he did miss the birth of his baby (hey Bryan Cranston also missed his baby's birth on Breaking Bad bc he was transporting crystal meth) I liked his song choice it was upbeat. But was he really playing the guitar or just pretending?

4. Casey J-even though Kara and Randy (I hate them) ruined the beg for him, he did okay, I really hate this song though but he sang it well, comparably anyway

5. Joe M-he is the female Michelle D. for me bc he was complete fodder but he was decent...he reminds me a bit of Fez from That 70s Show..."I said 'Good Day'"

6. Andrew G-this was meh, he is the pimped one and he fell flat, but he's very safe for a while

7. John P-omh what an awful song choice...not that great. He's the fulfilling the first out Asian male Idol role nicely...

8. Tyler G-I liked the beginning sort of and then he started his schtick...He has a horse face just like Ashley

9. Tim Urban-I knew he would be VFTW pick too...he has to make it to the tour now that Simon said he shouldn't have been in top 24...but he should have been in the top 25?

10. Jermaine-om this was awful but I think he may have saved himself for a week anyway with the stuff afterwards with Michael etc I hope he sticks around for some more humor

11. Alex L-this was bad and I really don't like his voice that much

12. Todrick Hall-really bad. Do you think he'll get his $50 back from Idol?

Emydi, LOL on the $50!

1. Part way into the show I thought "why am I watching this show?"

2. Simon's gauntlet throwing before the show became clear...he knew the night would suck and he was going to be out in front of it, distancing himself, even though he cast these guys.

3. Are they that desperate to have a girl win that they cast these guys...and yet apparently they are. I remember thinking the same thing about the guys the year Jordin Sparks won. Except for Blake, who was entertaining and a breath of fresh air. That year's top 6 guys were Blake, Chris R, Phil, Chris S, Sanjaya, and Brandon.

4. I like Ellen but they don't need 4 judges. Clearly she is to be the one to make them feel better after they have been turned into sausage on stage.

Look forward to hearing next week: Casey

Curious about next week: Lee, Andrew, Tyler

Can take or leave: Joe, Aaron, Michael

Might fast forward through: Jon, Jermaine, Tim, Alex

Never need to hear again: Todrick

In the order they appeared:

Todrick: flat when he did sing which wasn't much

Aaron: pimped to make the top 12. I think he'll get extra behind the scenes coaching to bring him along.

Jermaine: shrieky. Next.

Tim: like an Ace Young but Ace was better and better eye candy. Next.

Joe: did fine. Want more than fine.

Tyler: made me watch; confident; not the best pipes.

Lee: held off bandzilla; sang flat at times; but had something--it's his tone that's appealing

Jon: not current and clearly cannon fodder. I really felt sorry for him getting ground up in the AI machine. Has he watched the show before? No ballads in the semifinals! They want entertainment and energy!

Michael: could he on the radio today but not my cup of tea. LOL that he intimidates Simon.

Alex: Next.

Casey: good voice, good vibrato, already want to hear what he will sing next week before he's done singing this week. Kara, enough with the cougar crap. It's gotten old already.

Andrew: contemporary but agree with the judges. Straight Up was better. Bring it, Andrew.

I'm pretty sure that the judges were pimping the bad singers last night to increase the odds of a woman winning. That's my only explanation for some of the positive comments.
