Damn it. I thought for sure Pickler was going to sing Kelly Clarkson. I think Lisa just sang her last song.

Paula’s right, and Randy is right, and the judges are right…

And Simon is saying the truth.

Way to start things off with a yawn. Six years of music to choose from and she picked THAT? Year after year it seems that you can always count on AI contestants to have totally shitty taste in music.

She’s dead. Paula dissed her? She’s dead. Bye Lisa.

Sorry. I’m a dolt sometimes. But you’ve been in these threads long enough to know that already. 😉

Lisa’s singing wasn’t all that great – she really seems to be phoning it in – but the judges all seem to be in a bad mood tonight. Don’t they?

Perhaps someone else will sing worse than she and then go away… but she’ll still be in the bottom three.

And Pickler sang good, although I don’t like country!

Kellie sucks again. She should be forced to do something besides country.

Lisa - not my taste in song choice; didn’t do a great job with it.

Kellie - not my taste in song choice; mediocre job.

And yes, they are moody tonight…

Paula seems especially sober tonight.

My theory, Paula saw how much Lisa wanted to go and decided to help her. Oh, wait-- being sober has helped Paulers hearing! Dang, Kellie got it too!

Kellie’s song is _terrible._ It’s hick-y, even for her. She _does_ know that the Gretchen Wilson schtick is wearing thin even for Gretchen Wilson, right?

One of my favorite songs, now makes me want to vomit. Thanks Ace!

Lisa and Pickler were both really bad.

Ace is singing this song like ass. He doesn’t have a big enough voice for this. He sounds like a pussy.

TV screen almost didn’t survive the suckitude. He’ll be here next week.

Oh, Ace. You’re so pretty, but please shut up. Just … _stop singing_. Why have they all brought the suck tonight? I’m not voting for Ace any more unless he promises to just stand there and look at me.

Let me be the first to say that I’m glad this show is only an hour long tonight, because I can’t take much more than that.

OH NO! A scar! Please don’t make him into the new A-Fed!

The song choices are going downhill. All the performances have been poor.

Ok, the judges are grumpy…

Paula is back to her old self, if only for a moment…
