Favorite this week is Crystal. She seems to have a natural talent for singing and feeling the song, which is difficult seeing as how so many just tried to straight sing something that they didn’t have any business singing it. And she’s cute, always a plus 😉 ---

Did they show if the woman who has the karaoke gig made it through or not? ---

I have a love-hate with the groups show. I like seeing the behind the scenes prep work, but not all the draaaaahma between the groups. I’d also like more focus on performance. We will end up seeing five groups, tops, in their final performance. ---

That first group was not so good. ---

Group two was much stronger I thought, I’ll be surprised if they don’t all go through. ---

Jesus Christ, I’m tired of the cryers. All that happened was that they got eliminated from a karaoke gameshow. For fuck’s sake, there are people still looking for the corpses of their familes under the rubble in Haiti, and these clueless assholes think we’re suppose to find it tragic that they got to be on TV for a few minutes? Here’s my tiny violin, crybabies. ---
