So far, I am fairly unimpressed. By _anything_, really, except Chris Sligh’s hair, which is getting bigger and bigger all the time, like a Chia Head[sup]TM[/sup] on steroids and Miracle-Gro. _Also?_ Matt Sato is absolutely _adorable_, and also absolutely _the gayest little boy in the world_ except for maybe Justin from “Ugly Betty.” Alas, I fear he is not much longer for this competition. Which is probably for the best, because if he cries _one more time_, I’m going to have _no choice_ but to smack him _senseless._ ---

I wonder if the judges are privvy to all the, um, drama going on before the group singing. ---

I hope Shakira is the only one to go through after the girl fight. Who cares about harmonies anyway? They’re not trying to be backup singers. ---

Wow! That group with the beat box guy was awesome. ---

The beat-boxing was cool. ---

I understand why Bailey got dinged but I don’t know how the Jersey girls got through. ---

The beatbox group sounded pretty good, yes, but I think the beatbox covered up a few things as a few notes in the background were slightly off. It was clever of the other three to stick with the beatbox guy, he was such a huge advantage for them. They all deserved to go through, definitely. I’m just saying they weren’t perfect. ---

I thought Shakira Lite sucked and I couldn’t understand how she got through but Jory didn’t. There were actually quite a few cases where I thought they kept the sucky one and sent the good one home. ---

I’m glad that Sanjay and Jack Osborne got through. Also glad Amanda from Jersey didn’t. ---

Yay for the brother! Yay nasty jersey girl is gone. I can’t believe Sundance made it through, he was terrible.
