I’m ashamed to say that I’ve stopped running into the computer room to read during commercials, and I’ve actually got the laptop out on my lap on the couch.
For this, they invented wifi?

Don’t worry, I’m on another board posting right along with the show.
I am liking the new Randy and Jewel, wow, she isn’t the kiss ass that I thought she’d be. I’d much rather see her every week than Paula (yeah…I know…no shit).
Okay, the little boy who’s parents are tired of paying for all his choir activities and sent their 16 year old off to audition by himself? Not the choice I’d make, but whatever, he’s mature and obviously handled himself well.
When he called his Mom and fell out crying when he said “She’s proud of me!” I got all verklempt. Crack baby didn’t faze me but oh I just wanted to hug that boy and feed him cookies.

Yeah, it was the “She proud of me” that got to me. The crack baby was nice but-- I don’t know. She didn’t bring a tear to my eye like that kid. Even his acne was endearing.
Man, could anything have made this experience worse for the juggling kid? He managed not only to sing and dance poorly on national TV, but threw a tantrum and capped it by bursting into tears and crying on his mother.
Nobody’s really knocked my socks off. My metro area seems to really be bringing the suck tonight. I sort of liked the crack baby girl. A few others have been passable. I think both the Navy guy and the Reservist woman were passed for casting reasons rather than talent. Neither one was any better than anyone you could hear at an average karaoke night. Maybe it will get better.
I wanted to like that last kid but his schtick really was kind of lame. If he hadn’t insisted on singing in that forced, gravelly “rock” tone, he might have done better. He sounded like he could at least carry a tune. I’ve seen a million guys like that in garage bands.

Yeah, that brought a tear to my eye too. I think it was genuine.
Unlike crack baby girl, who I think took a page from Pickler and decided a sad story would get her some extra attention. I ain’t buyin’ it.
I liked the unprecocious blonde girl.
It was an entertaining couple of hours. I didn’t look at the clock once.
I agree that both servicefolk got a little help from their uniforms, but they DID deserve to get through compared to everyone else that was performing on air (which isn’t saying much). But then again, I’d heard some friends sayin Josh Gracin got help just for being in the Army, he got knocked out of the top 12, then he ended up being one of the best to come out of AI (I like country, but dislike a LOT of today’s country. If I were to turn on the local Clear Channel country stations right now, I’d probably like one out of the first 5 or 6 songs played).
