American Idol 2/29 and beyond.

Do you think he was told to tone down the Joe Cocker a bit and it hurt his singing but then he couldn’t hold it in any longer and he took off.

I do not love what he’s wearing tonight. He desperately needs a make-over.

Taylor has a fantastic voice–it’s such a nice change from the generic crap we sat through last night.

Paula really needs to stop hitting Simon. Please, can we get Randy in the middle again?

A serious question here – does Gray Charles have Tourette’s? Those "woo"s are really bizarre. And I wish he hadn’t asked us to stand. Too cheesy for ya, man. OTOH, I thought it seemed like a good song choice for him (though not entirely on key). I guess I was wrong though. Loved Bo grooving in the audience.

Interesting how they edit-pimped the women. Didn’t think Ayla would have made it in there.

Moody’s Mood! Yeah, baby.

Simon wants him to sing pop.

Oh please, make-over come to help with that distracting jaw.

Finally Elliott (delete l’s or t’s as necessary) got rid of that atrocious face outline! Now he just needs to grow a bit more hair to balance out the ears…

ooh, Ace… nice…

But his voice sounds funny…

Ace is not moving me. Oh that’s so bad. Urgh. That’s some bad singing. Still, he is pretty.

I thought he was taking a dump when he hit the high notes.

Elliott does nothing for me. I feel like he should do something for me but it’s just not there.

I’m too biased against Ace to even try to comment on his performance.

Are my ears broken? And does Paula know how to talk? Ah, Simon-- the voice of reason.

Ace, if you have a problem with hair getting in your eyes you should buy a scrunchie. Don’t ever look at me and run your fingers through your hair again, or I will be forced to kick you in the nuts. Speaking of which…he did NOT sound good tonight.

I missed the guys last week. Ace wasn’t very good, Gray was solid, but Gideon and that Elliot fella have been awesome.

Gedeon – best song choice so far.

Was Paula just hugging herself?

I keep posting things I mean to post here in a Pit thread. It’s embarrassing. But not as embarrassing if it was another way around.

Anyway. I like the way he sings. He skeeves me, though, and I don’t know why. And no amount of make-over is gonna fix that cross-eye.

This is about Ace, right?

It was priceless when he finished Paula’s sentence for her. Thanks for putting her and us both out of our respective miseries.

I can’t believe how much I’m agreeing with Simon this year. Randy and Paula, what creepy voodoo has that slimy Ace cast on you?

I was hoping it was bugs. I wanted her to start frantically brushing at imaginary bugs.

Bwah. You read my mind but said it better.

Must we speak of Ace’s nuts? Please god no.

Kevin: bold choice! Let’s see if he can pull it off.

Kevin, don’t you dare say S-E-X on national television again or I will be forced to wash that mouth out with Irish Spring.

Sadly, the answer is no.
