I didn’t think Tatiana or Rebecca was good enough…but what the heck. They were pretty enough and I suppose _someone_ has to go home in the next week or so. ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > That twin couldn’t sing. God, I sure hope I don’t have to hear her for the next whatever weeks. On behalf of Boston, I would like to point out that Sexy Twin Novoice was from NY. I liked Poodle at first, but by the end she was giving me Mihkahayalah flashbacks. ---

Maybe this is what has the gay and lesbians up in arms? But like my son is now exclaiming, “There’s no shame in being a female impersonator. You sound like Cher-- work with it!” ---

I don’t think Simon was trying to be insulting either. I thought it was meant as a piece of sincere advice. If the dude likes imitating female voices, why not go all out? ---

\*\*\*\*\* BRUSH WITH FAME ALERT \*\*\*\*\* I have just been informed that the “chemical engineer” in the pink tank top who sang the theme song from “The Mickey Mouse Club” used to work with my husband. _Seriously._ Her name is Maria. Hubby NEVER watches Idol with me, but he’s fixing my iPod tonight, and when she came on the TV he shrieked like a _girl_ and scared the cats and now I probably need stitches _again._ But … _we actually know someone who actually appeared on “American Idol”!_ The line for autographs forms to the left. ---

Why’d they cut him off like that? I wanted to hear that note. That was the money note! ---

That kid with the crew cut can sing but he HAS to grow some hair. The buzz cut is NOT a good look for him. ---

Retirement Home Girl didn’t get in but Robo-Athlete and Half-a-Twin did? There is no justice. Also, that one blonde girl that was a “terrible” example, singing “Love Will Lead You Back”? Thought she was great. I’m not being at all ironic or hyperbolic when I say that I think a lot of the “terrible” people would be really dynamic with a tiny bit of training. Simon really steers towards boring voices.
