I don’t know why they even bothered to string us out like that tonight. After last night, it was so obvious that Julia was going to get bounced, it made the silliness that made up the rest of the show even more painful than usual. At least it looks like next week we get back to a 30-minute Results Show! And that’s 28 minutes too long! (But I have to admit I did like “Proud to Be an American” while loathing Kimberley C’s smeary mascara from her crocodile tears!)
That Leo Greenwood song was truly an abortion.
Why does the audience always boo, no matter who ends up in final three? Who could end up there that they wouldn’t boo?
Why isn’t Josh in Iraq, btw? Shouldn’t he be sneaking up on Baghdad about now? Go serve your country, fatboy.
I was surprised that Kim C was in the bottom three. Did you see the fake crying when Julia got picked? Save it already, Kim, nobody buys it. We know you’re a phony bitch. Keep sexing up the outfits, though.
Everybody, quit mouthing “thank you” at Paula when that dipshit Seacrest reads off her kissy-ass comments from the night before. A compliment from Paula means nothing. She compliments everyone. You don’t have to brown nose her. She’d compliment a tuna fish sandwich.
Diogenes, Josh is not fat, and your comments are getting really tacky. Knock it off.
And as an ex-Navy man you ought to know that individual soldiers can’t just abandon their units and TDY to a new station without orders. If his unit is called, he’ll go. Blame Bush for not committing enough ground troops to the war effort.
Two words for Caldwell: waterproof mascara. She just nauseated me with the boohooing.
Sigh…
Hi. My name is Stoid. I live in ** Los Angeles. ** In ** Los Angeles, ** on the ** West Coast, ** it’s ** only 7:18 PM. **
Please, people, can you use spoiler boxes until the whole country has had a chance?
Can you PLEASE PLEASE NOT OPEN THE DARN THREAD TILL THE SHOW HAS AIRED IN YOUR TIME ZONE?
I know that, gobear, I’m just being sarcastic. I saw on Drudge that his unit isn’t expected to get called, but that he’ll go if it does. If he does get called, the show will automatically put him in the top ten for AI 3. So, I guess I’d rather see him not get called, than have to see him again next year.
I don’t see why he should get some special dispensation from insults just because he’s a Marine, though. He’s not the only contestant I rip.
It seems to bug you especially when I call him fat. I like you so I’ll stop. I’ll just talk about his performances.
You have to admit that Garth Brooks thing was embarrassing. 
Thank you. It just seemed unfair to be bagging on Josh for being 10 pounds over his ideal weight and not Reuben for being grossly overweight.
Absolutely. Going country in the first place was a huge tactical error on his part, and his slavish imitation of Garth Brooks was just sad. Josh has a good voice and he should find his own style and not copy someone else’s.
I think tonight’s show should be subtitled “The Crying Kimberlys”.
Kimberly L.'s tears were tasteful, as is her singing.
Kimberly C.'s tears were disgusting, as is her singing.
Coincidence?
Well, I challenge anyone to explain why Vanessa Olivarez was kicked off after Show 1. Totally mystifying vote. The votes are random enough that I wasn’t toally sure Julia was going. Hell, why was Corey Clark not in the bottom three THIS week?
But now that she has… thank Christ. That was about two months overdue. She look relieved to be booted. She was way out of her league.
This thread started yesterday, and I did not open it yesterday until it had aired.
And stop yelling.
Well, now that I’ve seen everything, I have to say… I hate Kim C but I believe her tears were genuine, and that they were partly relief that it wasn’t her, partly distress that she was in the bottom 3, and partly sad over something Julia said to her.
I do not understand why Corey continues to luck out. Wait, yes I do. He’s cute.
Top 3 prediction: Ruben, Clay and Trenyce.
Actually, not only would he be in the top ten, he would get a pass to whatever spot he left off in. So, for the first couple of rounds, I guess he’d have immunity.
I am soo glad that Julia is gone. I can’t stand her. She has horrible fashion sense and bad teeth, and she’s an awful singer.
The initial speculation was that the theme of the show changed to Country-rock to favor Josh Gracin, but from what I heard on the Entertainment news shows, they changed the theme to Country Rock instead of Disco because Olivia Newton-John wanted to guest host but she was going on tour and that was the only time she would be available. Although, I would call her genre more of Pop-country, than Country-rock. But it doesn’t look like many of the performers had any idea what genre a song was anyway. They were mostly pure country songs with a few exceptions.
I have to agree, that ON-J didn’t even offer constructive criticism, she just parroted Paula and Randy, so her presence was totally unnecessary. I think the whole point to having “professionals” on the show is so that can offer helpful advice to the up and comers but more blind compliments are not needed.
Simon is over the top with his insults but from what I understand that is how harsh actual record producers can be. But it annoys me just as much when I see him purposely avoid criticizing someone, i.e. Carmen.
One more comment: Yes, you would think with all the styling help they give them, that someone could have found Kim C. some waterproof mascara, especially the way she cries on every elimination show. If she were really that broken up everytime someone leaves, she’ll be a basket case after a couple more shows (if she last that long).
I’d like to see Ozzy as a guest host on a heavy metal night. How cool would that be?
They’d definitely have to increase the live feed delay time to give the censors enough time to figure out what he said and if it needs to be “bleeped”.
It was just so nice to see Kimberly Camerawhore in the bottom 2.
Anyone else notice how the whole Mustang Sally thing looked like a total porn set up scene? My jaw dropped when I realized (because of the context) that both Kim C. and Josh would look completely normal in porn vid. They both closely resemble actual porns stars.
Ribeye, just give them three years and it may be more than a resemblance.
And Ozzy as a guest judge would be great:
(Corey stops shrieking)
RANDY: How you feel man? How you feel? Y’a’righ, man? Yo, dog, that wuz a’righ. Little pitchy man, not your best performance, but you did yo thing.
PAULA: That was wonderful. You’re so good in your upper register. Yu’re so refreshing. For God’s sake, I haven’t been laid in eighteen months. Did I say that out loud?
OZZY: Uh, yah, ihhhhnnnnnttt uzzzzzaa vrggggght. Yurrrrr fookin crddddd, rye? Hrrrrrrr meers.
COREY: (Moronic, glazed stare)
RYAN: Wanna run that by us again, Ozzy?
OZZY: Ihhhhnntt urrrrrzzz fooshrrrrgght! Hurr meers.
SIMON: Ah, I think I can translate. His first comment was “It wasn’t very good, you’re fucking crappy, right? It hurt my ears.”
RYAN: Oh.
COREY: Heh. Heh heh. (Continued idiot stare)
SIMON: I think you need to lose some weight.
