The guys perform tonight for 1.5 hours, the girls tomorrow night, and presumably the elimination occurs on the third night. I suspect that we may be saying goodbye this week or next week to Amanda, Kristy, Jason Y., and maybe Danny…? ---

I’m guessing that Chikeaze with Eze down the road. ---

Maybe McCheesy will represent tonight and not suck. Who I’d like to see go? One or two of the interchangeable blondes. It’s not that they are bad, it’s that they aren’t very good either. And they are all mediocre in the exact same way. ---

What’s the theme tonight? Aussie guy has that goat thing going that I absolutely hate. Daughtry had it bad but I notice on his singles it is almost completely gone. (I hope the discriptor “Aussie” is enough. Names are beyond me.) ---

Why did Michael Johns slow down and go acoustic on “Go Your Own Way”? Had he done straight-up electric rock it would have been okay, but without the band supporting his voice, it fell apart. The band sounded like ass on it too. ---

Dreadlocked Travolta is so fucking adorable! I don’t know whether I wanna lick him or feed him. His voice broke in the middle of that song but I still loved him. ---

castro mught be the male Pickler. Doesn’t seem too bright in interviews. He’s a smooth performer, though and doesn’t seem like a dick. I think he’d be pretty salable. He NEEDS to keep the guitar…and Randy is wrong about the singing. He was fine. He needs to tell them to fuck off when they try to get him to lose the guitar. ---

I adore Jason Castro. I thought he was great, and unlike most of these douches seems to be a real musician. Speaking of people who seem like a real musician, I would much rather be hearing Josiah’s version of “Killer Queen” right now than Luke Menard’s. ---

Ohhh, sweet baby Jesus, Robbie Carrico - who talked you into those AWFUL extensions??? :smack: I woulda stuck with the Bret Michaels Bald-in-Front-and-on-Top-So-We’ll-Camoflage-With-the-Bandanna thing. That and his song sucks orangutan taint. ---

Robbie C-- The name is gone from my screen now-- who should put on some make-up and bring back Glitter Rock. Maybe get a string necklace and go Southern Rock. He’s not bad. ---

Robbie and hot-blooded don’t belong in the same sentence. He seems like a nice enough guy but that’s about it. ---

Blah. I showed up late and missed the only two I was really interested in hearing. Boy Band Robbie is about as Hot Blooded as a jellyfish. Yuck. ---

Danny is leaving on thursday. This is awful. Somebody throw him a key. ---

Danny hasn’t even finished singing, and I’ve already forgotten the beginning of the song. What was that? ---

Singing Karen Carpenter ought to settle any doubts people have about this kid’s sexuality. ---

Gay Danny is beginning to urk me. In that I’m-so-super-cool-and-uber-hip-and-fantastically-fabulous kind of way. I like the way he sings, though. And he is cute. And knows it. I don’t know whether to love him or slap him. ---

Gah, is Danny channeling Karen? Vote him off now. Better Simon??? in what universe? I think he borrowed his clothes from Ellen. ---

Sorry, I have to disagree. The first 4 did absolutely nothing for me. Something was lacking. I honestly think Danny just nailed it. Paula’s right – he has amazing vocals. He just needs to work on his song choice. I don’t know why Simon fed his ego, though. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-26-2-28/439279.md?page=2)
