I will say this: Simon is _so bipolar_. Either he likes it when people refuse to compromise, or he doesn’t, but he _needs to make up his effing mind_. God, man! I think he’s on the rag or something. It doesn’t sound like Kat is singing the same song as the backup singers. And she sounds like she’s singing in three different keys at once, and none of them are right. What in the name of all that is holy is going _on_ tonight? ---

That’s the most goat-y I’ve ever heard Chris. Katherine is wearing the exact opposite of an empire waisted dress tonight. She sings well, I just don’t like her style. ---

I didn’t tune in until Chris. Can somebody recap who sang what and who the original artists are (although it sounds like I didn’t miss much)? ---

I’m disappointed in Katharine’s song choice. The McPheever has broken. I guess I got my hopes up too much that she might have good taste in music. How do you go from Ella to Christine Arigula or whatever her name is??? ---

[QUOTE=Biggirl] That’s the most goat-y I’ve ever heard Chris. [/QUOTE] I heard it, too. He definitely sounded like an Ed Kowalczyk impersonator singing a Creed cover, which seriously just turned my brain inside out. I’m leaking gooze all over the living room. Think it’s time to stick my head in the oven. Too bad it’s electric. And broken. ---

Why is everyone wearing identical jeans? Is Levi’s a sponser? ---

Not Katherine’s best. ---

I thought Kat was decent. Best of the night but that’s not saying much. ---

Ok, I like Bucky so far from all the others tonight… Although the music seems to be drowning him. ---

Bucky was the best of the night. That’s saying a whole lot. Oh wait, I liked Taylor better. ---

Bucky sounds good tonight. Not that it’s saying much. But I _hate_ that shirt. _HATE!_ And he needs Invisalign something wicked. ---

Another mediocre performance. ---

I sort of liked Bucky. It was better than some of the others anyway. ---

Paris doing Beyonce? Doesn’t seem right, but she’s having fun, and did a great job with it. ---

He was overpowered a bit by the band, but he brought more than most of the performers tonight. Lackluster evening. Ummmm, isn’t Paris a bit young to be singing about being unable to make to the bedroom? Least she’s managed to bring a high point to this evening of luke warm milk. ---

Huh … tonight Paris strikes me as sort of a Jennifer Hudson lite. Hell of a performance, but not a great job, vocally. Of course, it’s hard to sing properly when you keep swinging your head around like some kind of meth-addicted marionette. ---
