Kristy is just not good. If she’s going to countrify _Eight Days a Week_, she needs to do more than just speed it up and sing it with a twang. Good night, Kristy. ---

This was like a country approach to Weird Al’s polka versions of pop songs. Absolutely hilarious. ---

I thought Ryan and Simon were over their pointless bickering. Come on, fellas. OK, that (Kristy) was awful. 100% in agreement with Simon: Dolly Parton on helium, except less interesting. It might have been okay, if it wasn’t so damn \*fast \*and _forced_. This is a night of highs and lows; it will be a race for the rock-bottom-plus-one slot. ETA: **Harborwolf** nailed it. Bravo! ---

I’m with Simon, the countrified Eight Days A Week was an **abomination** , and I’m not one of those people who hates country. At least not all country. ---

The song seems . . . too low? for him. Or something. Not as good as last week. ---

Oops! David A. forgot the words! He’ll still be back, but at least the judges won’t fawn over him this week. ---

Ook. David A is _fucking up_ my favorite Beatles song. If his strategy is to avoid being the teacher’s pet, it’s working. And he doesn’t know the words. Oh god, kill me. ---

David A keeps forgetting the words. Very boy band but convincing in that context otherwise. He’ll get the little girls working the phones.
