I’ve already heard that Jason Mraz song too many times this season. And nobody’s been as good as that kid on youtube.

I could turn this off now–no way Neck Tat isn’t in.

Did blue eye shadow black girl make it? I’m rooting for the white streak white chick.

Thaddeus’s face told the whole story right there. “I’m up against Neck Tats?!? GREAT.”

I don’t think I could take Thaddeus’s mom all season.

Why was Neck Tat playing guitar on the floor of a public restroom?

The black girl over the white one.

Also, I think Thaddeus could fit a number 2 pencil between each of his teeth.

There, are you happy Dio?

I feel bad for the poor, little-- well, very big-- baby. But am seriously glad the chances of seeing his mom again have been cut drastically.

These people are such self-centered idiots. “They said I didn’t do anything wrong, they must have been faking!” :rolleyes:

You know, it could also be possible that you didn’t do anything wrong and they genuinely liked you, they just liked someone else better. There’s always next year, ya big baby.

ETA: I also have a girlcrush on Crystal Bowersox. She did that little rocker pose and I almost _swooned_.

Captain Backflip is really going to get on my nerves this season. With a quickness.

Man, that dancing thing they make them do in the roll call is lame and degrading. That’s everything that’s wrong with televison producers right there.

I like how Alex Lambert gave up halfway through his bad dancing and started laughing at himself.

Public johns have good accoustics. I’ve jammed in a few.
