That little brother is gonna make a great agent one day. ---

Paula is _really_ creeped out by that doll. She gets more normal every season. ---

The girl scares me more than the doll… ---

Simon doesn’t usually like shows. The girl in the pink hat cannot believe she can sing. ---

She’s got the “white girl fists-of-funk” going, though. ---

OK, I’m a little behind right now but I’m catching up 'cuz of TiVo … I just wanted to pipe in and say that Kelly Pickler reminds me an _awful_ lot of Kim Caldwell. And that’s not a good thing, IMO. KP has better pipes than KC, but I really _loathe_ being screamed at all the time. ---

You know, if a male judge behaved in the same way as Paula does, a lot of shit would be hitting a big fan. ---

American Idol Rule #1: Never bring a gimmick. Even if you can sing, the ventriloquist doll will ruin everything. Anyone else think the girl in the pink hat sounded like Lisa Simpson? ---

I’ll admit my admiration for Bullet (what was his name?) has a lot to do with the uniform if you guys admit that country girl’s big boobies has a lot to do with. . . hey. . guys. . ? That’s the theme from A Different World. Who sings TV themes (besides me in the shower?). ---

Smarmy, sure, but it was edited _just_ well enough to remain **hawt**!! Between Cowboy _population 4, I sing to the turkey_ Kid and Kelly Pickford, are the 42 foster home child, are we going for the battle of the most pathetic backstories? Criminy!
