Last night was wildly craptacular. The only interesting thing was Simon’s comment about Graystoke (hi, rockle!) that there’s no way Paula and Randy will let him through to the stage where the public starts voting. I thought Simon was going to trash him for not having the whole package, but then he sort of turned the tables on Paula and Randy and said they’re the ones who will not let him through.
I don’t know if any of what I just wrote makes any sense.
When Seacrest was narrating about repeat contestants and they had brief clips of about a dozen or so, I’m pretty sure I saw one of them holding the yellow sheet of paper that people making it through get.
The link I posted yesterday is changed as of today. It just says “Taylor is persuing a great opportunity. Taylor Hicks is currently offline.”
I originally thought that the singer was just being obscenely creative, but I just realize that she was singing The Dan Band version of ‘I Will Survive’.
And speaking of alternate versions – is there a new incredibly bad version of “Hey Big Spender” out there somewhere?
I love Peggy Lee, and I didn’t even recognize that song until she got to the chorus. I wish the judges would scold people for not respecting the melody and rhythm of the song, so intent are they off on showing off how many notes they can cram into one syllable.
Taylor and Paris do the runs and stuff, but they know how to do it and respect the song.
If fakers didn’t put them on TV, then the wouldn’t show up. Also we wouldn’t have to watch them.
Now, in English:
If they didn’t give the fakers so much air time, they wouldn’t show up all the time. Also, if they didn’t put the fakers on the air, I wouldn’t have to watch them.
That was awesome, Biggirl. I thought I was really, really tired. 
At five minutes in, we have the quote of the night:
My sentiments exactly, Randy. My sentiments exactly.
I think I like the undertaker’s voice the best of the guys so far.
Anybody with a tragic backstory I’m disliking on principle.
Hear that woooooooooosh, Paula and Randy?
Did Paula say, “A wonderful tongue?”
I’m not liking Tank Top Boob Girl.
But there’s a party in her mouth!
Of course we don’t like Tank Top Boob Girl, she’s a fit model. She’s the one percenter that the garment industry ignores the rest of us in favor of. A pox on the her for all the hours we’ve wasted trying to find a good-fitting pair of jeans!
University Music Major guy, think he was a smoker? One normally doesn’t stop to take audible breaths every third word of a song. Granted, he was a-trilling and a-running, albeit in a nice controlled way, but at the expense of sounding like a heavy-breathing 3 am phone caller.
And Paula liked his tone ya big birfday perv!
Damn, I thought she was saying she was a FOOT model.
Cocky annoying guy was pretty good.
Not that I’m really in any position to say anything here, but there are really a lot of … er, ordinary-looking people in Austin, aren’t there? I mean, not a lot of cuties of either gender. Or am I nutso?
This should be stopped right now. Ronny and Tank Boobs could end up hooking up and having babies whose heads are so dense they’ll create a black hole and it’ll be the end of the universe as we know it.
