American Idol - 21, 22, 23 Feb

Why are they all singing songs that start off all weak and breathy and shitty?

I don’t remember Melissa at all. Why is she singing a song that doesn’t have words, just screeching? Yuck. If Paula is right and this is her “shining moment,” then her life sucks.

Why are they saying nice things to her? Stop being nice! She sucked!

Me too, Diogenes. I like Brenna because if you’re going to be an opportunistic famewhore, like most of these people, might as well be brazen about it.

She was better than Heather, at least.

I would agree with you if there league is slightly less degree of suck but still mediocre.

Aaah, Lisa sings so pretty… and looks older than her age…

Wow. Listening to Lisa’s nice clear, voice is a like a huge breath of fresh air after all this crappy breathy shit.

She’s great. Best so far.

Now that was good.

Lisa is great, but I thought she tried to do a bit too much with the song.

Paula is fucking hysterical. I just laughed out loud.

I thought the first half of Lisa’s song was much better than the second half. Still, I think she’s up there with Mandisa and Paris.

Is it just me or was Lisa off-key most of the song? I was surprised nobody mentioned it. Otherwise, I did think she was one of the best. The voice & performance were great, just that key thing threw me.

OK, Lisa Tucker is clearly a ringer.

Also, I would like to state for the record, once and for all, that the wardrobe mistress for tonight’s show needs to be taken outside and shot without trial. Everyone except Lisa has worn something tragically unflattering and/or sinfully ugly. Farking gaucho pants. Somebody needs to be punished for that hot mess.

Kinniky looks like the editor of Essence Magazine. Great stage name. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Oh! Oleta Adams! I looooooooooooove this song. I don’t remember this Kinnik person, but I like her (and her outfit, incidentally). She’s quite pretty. She’s the one girl tonight whose straight hair is “doing” it for me. Liking her a really lot.

Kinnik (I think?) is good, but all these heavy, constricted (I don’t quite know how to explain this) voices make me feel weary, which is why Lisa sounded so damn good.

I like her voice, but I don’t think she has a chance. She did struggle in the middle.

I thought Kinnink was pretty damn good. I don’t know what Randy and Simon were listening to.

Btw, did Paula just get off the LoTR set? I thought they already cast Elrond like five years ago.

I thought Kinnik was pretty good and capable of doing better, if that makes any sense.
