> [@LurkerInNJ](#): > > Those were the bust darts in her dress, not nipples. Okay, how distracting were the darts in her dress that looked like oblong nipples? 😃 I don’t much care for Crystal Bowersox (there’s a nickname in there somewhere, but I haven’t found it yet); she a little too artier-than-thou for my taste. It’s kind of hard to judge any of them yet, since we’ve had just the merest snippets of any of them. ---

Janelle screws up on every round but still makes top 24? She totally went through on her looks and because she’s fucking Tim Tebow. ---

Great, Tyler, you’re in the top 24. Now cut your bangs out of your effing eyes. ---

“…but I want this so bad.” Who gives a shit? Why do so many of them always say that? What does “wanting it so bad” have to do with anything? these people are so self-obsessed. There are people in Haiti who want their families back. I don’t care if somebody “wants so bad” to be on a game show. ---

I thought she did a fantastic job in Hollywood when she sang with the guitar. They played a snippet of it tonight. I will say she’s been uneven other than that. ---

What’s wih only showing the ones that get through? That takes all the fun out of it. Show me some heartbreak and some “fuck you, Simon.” ---

I don’t really remember her, basically my entire impression of her is what they just showed in her clip package. ---
