Those piercings have to go NOW. ---

Seems almost a crime to have Paris sing that shitty song. ---

Paris does not sing like a 17 year old. There wasn’t exactly much suspense in _that_ “step forward” moment. ---

Paris was great! (And I was posting in the other thread, I just now noticed this) Is this guy really under 28? ---

Could the instructors be encouraging all that trilling? That guy is the next Joe Cocker, I’m telling you. I’m digging him. ---

Taylor Hicks is really good but I wonder if this show is right for him. He’s got almost a Joe Cocker vibe going on. I have a feeling Simon is going to keep carping on him for as long as he lasts, which can be quite a while if he makes to the callers. ---

I like Taylor a lot–I want to hear him sing a whole song. ---

Did both twins passed, or is this the first one? ---

I’m glad these guys are going to jail. And the first one was MUCH better than the second one. ---

Mary J. Blige and U2 are performing One at the Grammies right now. ---

That was completely the wrong song for the turkey whisperer. It’s kind of funny to see the identity thief twins being so haughty and sniffy knowing they’re about to go to jail now. ---

Oh … these ones at the end are AWESOME! Chris rocked my socks. And Mandisa! Yummy. But … so much showing off. Just sing, please, OK? Sing and smile. ---

Holy. Shit. Did Paula’s life just flash before her eyes? I swear I saw Arsenio Hall and a cartoon cat. ---
