Thanks, Loree. I've mentioned that article a few times on these boards.

My thoughts on tonight's show:
I called my sister on my way home from work and told her about Storm's performance. I told her to watch it tonight if she could, because Storm would get the encore.

Patrice - That song was a breath of fresh air on this show. I love this girl and after tonight, I feel like she validated that love. And Lukas wagging the tongue? I went, "eep." DH said, "Easy, honey." I apologized because I didn't mean to have an out loud reaction. After the show was over (we watch it on DVR), he said, "I suppose I can't delete this." "yeah, ummm, no, please don't." Anyway. Yay Patrice! I want to see her hanging from rafters and stage diving and jumping from amps.

Zayra - I wept. That was a beautiful song. I'd never heard it before and she really put a lot of thought into her song choice. It was perfect. She was perfect. Perfect for the band? No. But I'm sooooo glad she didn't get booted after that.

Phil - He's so great. I'm going to miss him and I'm totally bummed that he got ousted before Jill (*cries*) and Dana. And Zayra and Josh to a lesser extent. His band supposedly signed a deal last winter. So it's all good. I wanted him on the show for selfish reasons.

I want to know who is voting for Jill. If anybody knows, please tell me so I can throw their computers and cell phones out the window. Thanks. And I really truly honestly believe that if she was in the bottom three she would have gone home. Next week, I hope. I may even start praying.
