I like the song “Son of a Preacher Man”, but not like Mikhala sung it…

Federov-Breakin Up is Hard to Do. Not a bad Sedaka impression. So far Mikhala is the best.

It was out of sync here for the until after the first two. The audio was a split second behind the video. Very distracting!

I wonder if there’s a problem with judges’ monitors tonight. Everyone’s not sucking THAT much. Anwar and Mikalah both sounded fine.

Nadia and Bo are next. If they don’t knock it out, nobody will.

I think that look is a perfect blend of cheap ho and ugly drag queen. And her performance was nauseating. Ditto her speaking voice.

I was wondering.  
Nadia-You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me. I love this song. Yes! Good performance! I’d like to see her do Lady Marmalade.

Nadia - “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me”

Wow. Just wow. Easily my favorite so far tonight.

Is it now rag on everybody but your favorite night for the judges?

My husband, first time watching Idol this season, on Nadia: She doesn’t have the greatest range, does she? But she sure knows how to work it, don’t she?

I’m not a big fan of “Spinning Wheel” but Bo sold it about as well as he could.

He sounded just like …like the guy who sang it back when. God, I forgot his(their) name. Its going to end up between Bo and Nadia. Simon claims the teenie girls will vote for Connie Maybe so,but WHY?

My daughter laughed so hard at me last week for my notebook and pen and the Fox Idol site opened (because I didn’t have everybody straight). She made me feel all silly. So I didn’t take any notes today.  
Stupid teenagers.

Good, Mostly. Jaade couldn’t make it this week, so I was doing the titles, albeit one by one.  
Anwar, Nadia, Bo-Great. Others-okay.

I always go posting crazy on Idol night.  
Is she not keeping up with her background singers? Or is that me.
