“I think everybody likes them [Rascal Flatts].” Bzzzzzt! Sorry Danny. ETA: How did **cricetus** sneak in there? ---

Rascal Flatts. Gokey would be into this crap. Insipid, douchey performance. He was in key. The judges will love it. ---

I seriously think Danny stank that one up. The judges don’t agree. Sigh. I don’t think I am overclouded by semi-rational Danny hate, am I? ---

“You moved everyone in this room emotionally.” Really? REALLY? What the heck am I missing? ---

Simon disses Marley then says Rascal Flatts was a “great song.” The guy’s got zero credibility. Either that or it amuses him to pretend he likes crappy country songs. ---

Gwen Stefani was a good pick for Allison’s voice, but this is the worst she’s ever done. ---

I didn’t know Allison played guitar! Not her best, but she still rocks. S^G ---

I don’t like Danny much but I gotta agree with Simon, that was Gokey’s best so far. It may have helped that I was in the basement and didn’t watch but I have speakers down there and just listened. I do like Allison and love that song but it wasn’t her best. ---

Allison plays guitar? Cool. Mt respect for her just went up. She’s got giant 80’s hair tonight. Good performance. I like this better than the original. Well done. She and Adam both walk all over Gokey talent-wise. ---

I can’t believe the judges are trashing Allsion after praising the paen to vacuous mediocrity that is Gokey. They’re wrong. ---

I hope Scott can really push his voice for Billy Joel… I keep wanting him to do really well. S^G ---

Well, that was the best Scott’s done in weeks. Too bad it’s such a cheesy, boring song. I still prefer the Billy Joel/Oscar the Grouch version. ---

Scott rocking the Joel. I think he was just ok. He sounded fine, but not extraordinary. He’s really nothing special. Here we go with Paul’s patronizing praise again. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-3-31-4-1/491481.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-3-31-4-1/491481.md?page=3)
