I really like Kevin. He has a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, I just don’t think he’ll be around much longer. ---

“…my boy can blow too”? How about a better choice of words next time, Randy? ---

Yes. From now on I’ll try to put the name in. I’m bad out remembering names though. The Owl wasn’t that good either. He wasn’t as bad as Ace but he wasn’t that good either. ---

I’m having a serious Paula Abdul night tonight. Sorry guys. See! I’m not the only one who thinks the looks like that Foghorn Leghorn chick. ---

Since when did Kevin get all attituded up? He’s got the Snoop Dogg dance moves, he’s lowered his speaking voice a friggin octave and a half, and his winking at the f\*cking camera??!? Dawg, you just lost my respect. ---

All the guys have been good!!! (Well, except Ace, but duh.) Gedeon surprised the hell out of me-- I thought he was one of th weakest guys, but I thought he’s the best so far tonight. Taylor, Gedeon, Kevin, Elliott-- all good, good performances. ---

Elliot has been best so far. Taylor was good. Ace and Kevin and Gedeon were all bad to mediocre. Please stop lying to the contestants, Randy and Paula! ---

Sway sucked. I mean, that was so painful I muted the tv. ---

Can somebody please stop shaking Sway? He’s trying to sing. Dude needs to give the vibrato a break for a note or two. I’m getting really really really sick of this “You can’t sing a song by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ because you just won’t compare to what \_\_\_\_\_ did” complaint. If you can’t seperate the song from the singer, you don’t deserve to be a judge. Not that Randy and Paula deserve to be judges anyways. ---

I really, really like Elliott. He never misses a note, makes creative, diverse, but not schizoid song choices, and seems like a really nice guy. ---

I heard the first minute or so of Sway’s performance and decided it was a good time to chop the apple for the couscous. ---

Man, this Will guy has a serious case of Rick-Astley-itis (little wienie with a big voice). And, damn, but what a little f-ing wienie he is (“Golly gee! I got to meet _Justin Guarini_. Boy that was neat!!!”) ---

I just now got home and have missed the first hour. Can someone tell me what Gray sang and what the judges said? Also, has Chris sung yet?
