> [@LilyoftheValley](#): > > Yep. (It looks adorable on my 5 yr old too.) Exactly. Just as 35 is the limit on the mini-skirt, 16 is the limit on the dress-over-pants. At 38, I’m spiraling toward the age where sweatshirts with collars and embroidered kitties are all the rage. ---

She’s singing Sean hannity’s themes song. Of course, he’s too much of an idiot to know what it’s about. ---

I didn’t even recognize the glammed-up Lil. That being said, nothing can class up this turd of a song. ---

Is Hannity a domestic abuser? I agree she sang it with out much feeling. She did belt out the chorus but that’s not the same thing as having a feeling for the lyrics. ---

Oh man, Lil was not good. Awkward as heck. So far, Alison’s winning the night for me. ---

Allison picked Patty Loveless which makes me think she’s that rare thing on AI, neither an “aw shucks, redneck is what I do, gosh, y’all,” or “Ew country yuck what’s that? oh no!” She doesn’t think it’s all good or all bad and mysterious and alien. ---

Oh, I read Dio wrong. Hilarious that Hannity thinks it’s a patriotic song and has never bothered to read the lyrics. ---

Very curious to see what Adam does. They’re pretty limited if it’s actual Opry members and not country, which I think it is – no Johnny Cash, no Hank Williams, not even Willie Nelson. Those guys partied too much to get invited. ---

I guess that answers that. Johnny Cash wasn’t even welcome at the Grand Ole Opry after he put out a row of lights with his microphone and trashed his dressing room. ---

I think this is awesome. It’s like if “Ring of Fire” and “Kashmir” had a baby. The judges are going to hate it, but they’re wrong, it’s awesome. ---

… People are cheering? And no, Kara, “Adam does country music” is quite inaccurate. And Simon is the voice of reason. “Indulgent rubbish.” ---

I loved Adam. And I thought he was dead to me after sucking the rock out of the Stones. But Adam’s performance was too cool. ---

It’s funny to me that every week some people rave about Adam and some people hate him and it’s not even the same people. The guy is clearly way out in front of everyone for being interesting. ---
