LAST EDITED ON 07-25-06 AT 10:41 PM (EST)

Was I the only one watching tonight?

My opinion is I was disappointed in a few performances. Some were better than before. But alot of them went down on my list.

I thought Ryan really did well this week and rose on my list. I thought his performance of I Alone was better than Marty's last year.

And I was really impressed with Dana. I still do not think she is in any way right for SN. But she did really well and I enjoyed her performance.

Zayra really needs to go home. Not only is she not right for this band. But she was so off key tonight it was frightful. She dressed in some galactic blue spacesuit. But even the holes in it were not enough to make anyone not notice her horrible singing.

Josh was really poor. He can't sing without smiling no matter what he sings. But he was almost begging to go home.

And Jill.... from what I have heard she hit Gilbey in the hand with the mic stand when she threw it back and he was upset about that. But they didn't show that on the TV show. He also told her she made him uncomfortable when she grinded against him. That part was also not shown. But Gilbey will not be voting to save her if she is in the bottom 3.

Patrice was given such a tongue lashing at the taping that we heard she sat and was upset and pouting the rest of the show. We did not see it to the same extent the studio audience did.

I really like Lukas so I enjoyed his performance. Loved the lighting, etc. But I don't think it was his best performance either.

I was expecting more of Toby. I love that song. But he didn't do as good a job as I was hoping. I still enjoyed it. But it did not make sense that Jason acted like he finally liked Toby since they gave him the encore the second week.

I think I am getting bored with Dilana. I loved her the first 2 weeks. But the last couple weeks I have been losing interest.

Storm has a great singing voice. But the facial expressions and the big eyes really kind of bug me. Too theatrical.

This week I thought Magni went down. He was better last week.

Poor Phil just is not right for this band. And Patrice is getting boring too.

Before this week, Dilana was my favorite with Storm a close second. After this week, I may have to rethink that. Storm was much better than Dilana tonight.

The only other person who impressed me this week was Dana. Much, much better than she's been doing. She's still not good enough to stick around for long, but there's no way she should be in the bottom three this week.

But the rest? Meh. Toby was better than last week. Magni was one of the better performers in a bland week, but I thought he did much better last week (and the week before).

But there is no doubt in my mind that this should be Zayta's week to go. Even though most of the performances were blah, she was the only one who was flat-out awful. THAT was pathetic.

I watched and I was even tempted to vote for Dana, at least using the web (no way would I pay). But apparently Arizona doesn't count. Even though at this time of the year we are on the same time as the West Coast we get the show an hour earlier. Both the web and Messenger voting links are showing closed so they must be lumping us in with them rather than doing the few extra lines of code it would take.

I'm certain I could wait around for an hour or so after CA gets to see the show and maybe it will be open to vote then but I'm just not that motivated. I would be willing to bet most AZ people aren't. So if your favorite is in the bottom, don't blame the fifth largest metro area in the US (Phoenix, for those who don't know which apparently includes CBS).

A tribephyl original

When Newsted said at the start of the show that "one of YOUSE will be" the winner, I went deaf a little bit.

Storm was the best.

Dana was the best she's been.

There's something about Jill that screams "old hooker" or "rode hard and put away wet" or "will put out for your vote" and I'm glad Gilbey called her on it.

Dilana is very polished and professional, and seems very comfortable on stage. She's my #2 after Storm.

Zayra was embarrassing to watch. She's totally out of her league. She's more technotronic techno-bop than dirty rock.

I like Patrice but she's becoming unmemorable as the field dwindles.

Nobody else really left an impression, good or bad.

Rolly made this.
