Gray sang “Easy” by The Commodores. The judges said “it wasn’t his best.” Chris has not sung yet. ---

Your spoiler was right about Taylor. Since Paula and Randy have sucked the d. . . um, loved everybody to death, I’m sure they gushed over them. But I don’t remember what they said. Because I’m having a Paula Abdul night. Been stuck on stupid all day long today. Chris hasn’t sung yet. ---

I liked Bucky… Mmm… yummy… Was his moustache trimmed? ---

Thanks for the update. Wow. I’m kind of impressed by Bucky tonight. I don’t like country but that was a really good choice for his voice. ---

I totally missed Bucky. Stupid family wanting to eat and junk. ---

I think crooner dude sucks ass. I hope he and Sway get the boot tomorrow. ---

“Mr. The Way You Look Tonight” needs to start chain smoking and drinking scotch. No resonance. ---

Yuck. That was terrible. He looks like he knows it. This guy, with the black hair. What’s his name??? I can’t think of a thingy to call him. I vote him gone. ---

He looks like Harry Connick Jr. Junior. I think he’s gone. ---

David sounds like a retarded Harry Connick Jr. Nothing original there. And where’s your helmet kid? And is it me or is every guy trying to put on the “Ace eyes” at the end of their songs? ---

Ok, Chris is the last one, doing Fuel… ---

I didn’t think that Bucky or Sway were that great. The crooner was terrible. It’s been a bad week. I was wrong about Chris. It looked from promo pics that he’d lost the little beard thing. He still has it. ---

Nice body… His voice sounds weird… or maybe I’m accustomed to the original song… ---

I love Chris’ voice. And if anyone cares, FSU just beat Duke. ---

Who said getting a compliment from Simon is equal as a massage and blow job from Paula? ---

The backing arrangement didn’t do him any favors but he still blew it out. My wife said he sounded better than the actual guy from Fuel. I wish he’d had some ballsier accompaniment, though. ---

I think Chris is going to win this. He sounds good, he looks good, he’s likable, he’s not a retarded Harry Connick Jr… And I think I’m already sick of Taylor Hicks. ---

I think Sway and Will are the bottom two, with David sneaking by. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-29-and-beyond/346477.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-29-and-beyond/346477.md?page=9)
