I’d have to say the boys win that battle.
Could be. I don’t recognize about half of these songs by their titles, but I’m sure I’ve heard them in passing. I wish people wouldn’t sing the same songs every season!
Here’s my weekly pitch for Robbie Rosen (aka Fonzie) who will help raise awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy!
So what do we think of the new format to make the top 12? I’m not so sure yet.
Whoops, last post was me, forgot to log out of my mom’s account.
Top 5 boys, top 5 girls, then judges pick 2 more to round out the top 12.
Doucheglasses didn’t suck. 
Jovany and Jordan: ugh. Could be a song choice problem.
I’m relieved that the judges are comfortable being critical. For a minute there I was worried that it was going to be an unwarranted love fest.
Wow, rather boring night. Jordan appeared to have an attack of nerves. Jovany & Tim both kind of gave me a “decent voice but no big deal” feeling. I’m so anti-Clint that I just didn’t care (plus I don’t like shrieking and felt he was bordering that quite a bit)>
Tim: pitchy, dawg.
Brett: someone get the hook!
Just started watching via DVR. Did Seacrest just say that only 5 are going to the next round?
edit, Maybe I should have played a couple more minutes.
I heard 7 guys will be cut this week
Seacrest later said that the top 5 go through, plus a judges choice. so 6 boys and, I suppose, 6 girls.
Whoa, James was great!
Woo-hoo! James!!!
