I think this is the best we’ve heard from Lisa. She’s a dark horse, I think. ---

Lisa: _snooze snooze snooze_ You were my favorite last week. This is boring! Sounds just like McPhee’s. ---

Paula’s definitely back on whatever wagon it was that she was on last season. ---

::Shrug:: I thought Lisa sounded awesome. ---

Is it country night and no one told me? She sounds good. I just really dislike country. ---

What is this? I did not expect McGhee to do country, _nor_ did I expect her to be the best so far tonight. She’s burning up the stage! ---

Simone’s gonna bitch-slap high flying Paula. I hope, I hope. ---

Melissa does nothing for me. She doesn’t suck, exactly, she just leaves me cold. She’s dime a dozen. ---

I like the fact that she’s clearly working hard. While McPhee and Lisa squander their natural charisma, McGhee is working it and summoning it up with all her might. ---

Heather Cox sounds like a porno name. ---

Trying to do Mariah is almost as bad as trying to do Whitney. All you’re going to do is remind people that you’re not Mariah or Whitney. ---

Heather sounds a lot better than I expected. Ick ick ick for song choice though. Week #1: American Idol song (?!?). Week #2: Hero. Week #3: My Heart Will Go On? ---

I keep waiting for Paula to start sniffing a permanent marker, then start talking as if nothing unusual happened. ---

> [@BabaBooey](#): > > I keep waiting for Paula to start sniffing a permanent marker, then start talking as if nothing unusual happened. “Right now there’s _no one hotter_ than Mariah”?!?! What, did we go back to 1990 and I didn’t notice? Heather is so damn boring. It seemed like everyone (including Ryan) weren’t even trying to say anything positive to her. Unless two other girls actually puke or fall off the stage tonight, she should be gone next week. Please? ---

I really like Brenna. I love her arrogant personality and I think she comes across as one of the smarter idols. Vocal performance not incredible, but I really like her timbre. ---

> [@vaderspal](#): > > “Right now there’s _no one hotter_ than Mariah”?!?! What, did we go back to 1990 and I didn’t notice? You may have missed the Grammys. The Education of Mimi is a biiiiiiiiiig hit (although I don’t think I know any of the songs on it.) I cannot STAND Brenna. But she sings well and has stage presence. So Simon (not Simone, Simon’s nice twin sister) told the other two that they were wrong and useless and so Paula and Randy have decided to be more critical. ---

I didn’t think Brenna was that bad at all. I think the judges just don’t like her for personal reasons. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-29-and-beyond/346477.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-29-and-beyond/346477.md?page=3)
