I was wondering when we were going to get the first theme night.

*cue the star wars music*

or villians.

Is it me, or did Simon sneak a time or 12 in the DWTS spray tan booth across the hall?

the movie premiere footage.

On the plus side, the show has successfully taught all of them how to lie.

What's with this movie and reality shows? That's the second time we've had this thing as a dubious prize. Was this the only promotion they could afford?

Singing a song from The Bodyguard.

Oh let me guess which one.

"I Will Always Love You"

Nicole says massive huge diva number.

Oh wait, up tempo and dancing?

What will it be.

Queen of the Night.

What is that, a six or seven head? Bring back the bangs!!!

Nicole standing.

LA. I didn't want to like it, I co-wrote the song and I still don't like it. She wanted to dance, or seize, one of the two.

Paula. You are a diva, like you are singing for you life. I never really liked that song (LA says disrespectful) you delivered in a big way.

Simon. You look cute, but I would have you wearing that somewhere else. You've now got to convince that you are a five million dollar recording artist. I liked you last week, Nicole has combined you and Paula into one person. Didn't like the dancing.

Paula disagrees

Nicole. I think you look gorgeous and you shine from within, a queen from within and empowering to all women.

Who said I like you better when you cry?

We're so used to seeing her with bangs that she looked photo-shopped.

Maybe all of her prior hair footage was lying.

'I've never been this close to a major celebrity! Except for Tom Cruise. And everyone on my TV and movie sets. Plus all the singers I've worked with and for. I will now perform a song personally taught to me by my good friend Whitney. She would so let me take her drugs if I asked.'

And look at her trying to drum up the crowd to drown out Simon. No truths can be spoken on this watch -- not while she's there to have her public shout them down! Of course, it would be the first truth Simon's ever spoken about her, but we can't have him setting precedent, now can we?

I wonder if giving her the death slot is the producer's way of indicating that they might be getting a little tired of having to keep accelerating the coverup. I hardly think this puts her out, but I also think she might be genre-savvy enough to know what going first means. She's not the darling any more.

screamy. As usual.

*nods* Every time this beyotch shows up on screen, my usual reaction is to bite back a scream.

From Car Wash. Going to strip it down. Show him as a singer.

I'm Going Down.

Was that a singing performance or a Cash For Gold commercial?

Most awkward jacket removal, why did he do that?

LA pumping the crowd.

Nicole. Two words. Mah Gic. I thought you were a beautiful dream, you taste and you enjoy every single word, should have stopped at two words...

Paula. Everything about you resonates star. Your voice, look, poise, delivery.

Simon. I have to say now that we got rid of the having to sing LA's songs, that was 1000 percent better than last week. Thank god you through that jacket off. Dress yourself.

LA. You look great. Sound Great. You have better taste than some people that sit at the end of this desk. I was talking about myself. I have a crystal ball and it has a picture of you. A massive star.

just too cute.

And it's still doing cheap regional productions!

From You, Me and Dupree

Big Epic Visual Performance

Fix You

One trick is all that horse can do...

Worked for Scotty.

Maybe we need to teach her how to hold a microphone really awkwardly.

The world's last Domed Peacock died for that dress.

*sigh*

That's two weeks running now...

Well, with Simon's credibility gone, he can say the original movie for this song was one of his favorites. And he almost said it with a straight face. And all I can say about her performance is 'My, what a hideous dress you made the mistake of letting someone force you into'. Because that's all there was. I was waiting for an animated scroll to step out from under it and start singing about how it was only a bill.

She may survive, but Wardrobe should die for this.

What did hair and wardrobe do to that girl.

LA. That was really good, I don't know the difference between the three performances, kind of the same. I need diversity from you. You Me and Dupree, never heard of it. LA doesn't know this movie.

Nicole. You are simply brilliant beyond your years. I love that you take your time when you are up there. A Little slice of heaven (unlike simon).

Paula I'm sitting next to hell. Give an honest performance every single week. Sits within her vocal range. That outfit took the seriousness away.

Simon. Drew designed that dress. This is why I like working with you. You take risks, show individuality. This is why thank god I am her mentor, and try to develop her into a recording artist, this is the kind of record she would make.

Time Nazi: Wrap it up.

Drew designed that dress.

I'd rather have that as Simon's latest lie than make her into a Domed Peacock killer.

From The Runaway Bride.
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Lose the hat. Please.

Can the crowd clapping drown out the music and voice, let's try and see what happens.

LA Reid. I'm happy you finally got it right.

Paula. I have been waiting for this performance. America has found it and you are it.

Simon. I'm used to working with older people. No cap on ages. That you sounded like a 20 year old, dignified in control, classy. Best performance by a clear margin.

Nicole. Thank you Simon. Put age aside. You are just great, that is what you are. Like we were at LeRoy's rock concert and you took us to church as well.

Yeah, because that song never existed before the movie came out. Are they actually doing a worse job with their theme weeks than AI? How is that even possible?

*watches*

I see the stage is having a sale on space heaters.

Solid performance from Leroy. I'm just not sure who his voting audience is. I think he could get to eighth place, but after that -- well, he needs to get voters from outside his own demographic, and this kind of show gets too stratified.

How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days

Somebody Like You

How To Be Eliminated In 11th Place.

Can be get a ban on mullet dresses?

LA. Decided to be one or the other, the right way. My favorite girl group in the entire competition. Pedal faster, I know that.

Nicole. I grew up in Kentucky, you know how popular I would be if I took y'all home with me. Good chemistry, you effortless and I got to hear you each shine tonight.

Simon. After the horror show last week. Got rid of silly seasons outfit, became the group, and there is a gap in the market.

Paula. I am so proud of you. Each week clearing a path to the Pepsi spotlight.

you know how popular I would be if I took y'all home with me

I can think of a few people she'd be popular with...

Likes Them.

Somewhere.

From Eight Mile

Astrosized Lose Yourself.

AstroNOT.

Pancreas Insulin raps, really?
Trying to be topical with Joe Frasier, oh, and Heavy D.

Nicole. I am in awe of you right now. That was so heavy, what separates the good from the great. Watching how you work, the lyrics you write, you are a champion.

Paula. That level of focus makes superstars, myriad of genres (all hip hop and rap).

Simon. This is so irritating. The Cat who has got the cream. Cleared and Eminem song. Every star has to have a work ethic. Incredibly creative. You have the X factor.

LA. Could not be more proud of you. You have the audacity to rewrite his lyrics and do a great job with it. You are a star.

The opening shots had his cap brim obscuring his eyes and glowing ruby-red. Which was the most interesting thing about the entire routine.

He came, he rhymed, he bored, and he'll be back next week to do it again. I know the Worsters love 'entertaining bad', but I didn't know they'd defined it as 'fast-talking in your coma.'

Won't Dance, Won't Sing, Won't Use the Lyrics as written.

Why is he on a karaoke show again?

To slightly clean up the VFTW rallying cry: screw singing, vote for Astro!

Y'do realize that whatever tonight's lipsynched group number is, there's a rap solo in the middle of it.

Of Course!

Timekeeper keeps welcoming me back to the show.

I don't feel welcome.

From This Is It

Has a sore Throat.

Man In the Mirror

amazing.

I just love her voice. Period.

LA. That was really good. You are a great singer. I didn't find it that inventive, predictably strong. I don't see the range in choice.

Nicole. Simon that is a brilliant song choice. I can't help it I love this song. LA arguing with Nicole. Her voice is a vessel of the light.

Paula. Music heals the world. A remarkable singer.

Simon. You were bloody fantastic. LA, that is called a tribute, this was your best performance so far. Sang with sincerity and passion and hit the big note at the end.

So why isn't Simon capable of choosing a song for her?

She has a showcase coming -- she has to if The Agenda wants its way -- but This Wasn't It.

Is it just me or is the site crawling right now?

-- teach Simon the difference between 'movie' and 'documentary'.

what the heck was that? Stacy getting her forehead waxed?

Someone told the Lakodas what Nicole really meant?

From the Movie "Get Smart"

Ain't No Other Man

LA. Last week a tough week, came back recovery week, I'm not that familiar with that song.

Nicole. Bananas. It was bananas. My favorite performance from y'all yet. Choreography was slick.

Shout out to Scotty.

Simon. That was really digging deep Nicole. Your choreography and work ethic is amazing. You are not performing the record you would make. Paula argues. Become less cabaret.

Paula. Could not disagree with you more. Has the lead singer come out and take a bow for some reason.

I think the Agenda wants us to vote for the backup dancers.

Have y'all noticed that the movies they're using for their sources mostly svck? (Yes, I'm pretty much repeating myself. The intro cells are anti-inspirational!)

And in fact this time it is in that 'Will making someone die perk things up?' way.

Do you want suggestions?

Nicole and the judges miss the cue.

From across the universe.

With A Little Help From My Friends

he gets by
with a little help
from his fraus

What is with the stoned overdressed go-go dancers on the pedestals around Josh?

LA. One of my favorite songs, well done.

Paula. your voice is comforting, this is who you are. Amazing.

Simon. Love the song choice, first half didn't quite work, second half was great. You were like dracula and the brides. Lose the gimmicks.

Nicole. Don't hate, just congratulate. Won't let Steven cut her off. Says ready for the contract.

Talk about predictable. I still like this guy.

If Iiiiii were the kiiiinggg of the foresssssssssstttttt!

Had to add pic.

*groans*

I can't unsee that.

Neither can I. I had to share.

"Shut up, Steven."

All the cool kids are gonna be saying it!

From Dangerous Minds.

Gangsta's Paradise

And somewhere backstage, Astro is pissed.

and he put away the falsetto. Yay!

Or whatever you call this rewrite of it.

Piscine paradise?

Does Kingfish know about this?

Nicol. You just up there channeling. Talks about some of the lyrics.

Paula. You were real, honest, truthful amazing. Great Job LA.

Simon. Welcome back Chris Rene. Potential a real star.

LA. Long way home, but we are there now.

I don't think I heard the same performance as the judges.

Is this where the producers introduce her adoption storyline to start derailing a few of the others?

Would Simon dare to give her Over The Rainbow?

Has Wardrobe sobered up yet?

This kid can sing, such a big old voice coming out of her!

From the Movie Cadillac Record.

I'd Rather Go Blind

Did allude to her backstory that was in the press this week.

Like the old fashioned looking mic.

LA. Wow Rachel. Up until now I wasn't sure if you were a contender, but you have your eye on the target, my favorite yet.

Nicole. Simon I am so happy you listened to me. Rachel Picked her song this week. That was amazing. I don't know where you get that soul.

Paula. I love you so much, I'm glad you are teaching this man humility.

Simon. I am not afraid to admit when I get something wrong. I trust Rachel and adore you. You reminded me of a mini-Beyonce. Soul, winning attitude. Back in the game.

I'm sure some people are saying they'd rather go deaf, but it came across as a decent rendition. Plus it was just refreshing to get some accurate backstory for a change. And Simon's going to have an extra arm sewn onto his right buttock just to make it easier to pat himself on the back. Teach him humility? Why not teach a shark to be a vegetarian?

BTW, how short is Adam Sandler? It looked like Rachel would have matched his height by standing on tiptoe.

Gotta go VOTE. Really, I'm going to this time.

That was fun, thanks!
