Oh good, someone’s already started this. It looks like the guys are up again this evening. I’m NOT a fan of Constatine so I’m hoping that he stinks up the joint and gets sent home on Wednesday. ---

I was hoping to start one entitled “Week of March 7.” I think one thread per week is enough. So can we post tomorrow’s thoughts to this thread? ---

Yes. We’ve been using the Monday thread for the Tuesday and Wednesday episodes. ---

Scott may be the best pure singer in this competition. I don’t know why Simon is always such a dick to him…wait, yes I do…it’s because of his looks. If he looked like Mario or A-Fed, Simon would pimp him non-stop. ---

Simon just gave Bo the kiss of death. I was hoping he’d do a power ballad. I thought he wouldn’t 'cuz that would be soft. ---

The only time Simon was wrong when he’s said somebody should win was in the first season with Tamyra. After that he pimped both Ruben and Fantasia. I also think he’s right. Bo is the only one who’s really distinguished himself as frontrunner so far. ---

> [@Good Egg](#): > > Damn, love Bo. What was that song? Edwin McCain’s I’ll Be. I thought Anthony was going to sing the theme from WKRP in Cincinatti for a minute there. Then I told my husband that he sounds just like Marc Anthony right before Simon said the same thing. Actuall what I said was, “He sounds just like the guy who married big butt. . . you know. . . the Spanish guy. . .” ---

This is a gutsy choice for Nikko. Ray Charles OWNED this song. ---

“Because of what happened at the Oscars?” Huh? Is he talking about Jamie Foxx winning for _Ray_? If so, what does that have to do with AI? It was a pretty good performance, by the way. No one has sucked yet. Of course, Constant Cheese hasn’t sung yet. ---

> [@Cyros](#): > > I’ll Be - Edwin McCain Oops. I posted at the last commercial break, and when I came back, it will stalled on the submit page so I hit it again, thus the double post. Bizzare. That was a beautiful rendition of Georgia On My Mind. Beautiful. ---

I’m ready to jump off the Bo Bice bandwagon. Underneath that “rocker” veneer, he’s a guy who sings Hootie and the Blowfish covers at weddings. ---

I was thinking that he meant Ray Charles cleaned up at the Oscars so it was a good choice because we love his music right now. ---

He may have personality, but this is a singing competition and he’s awful. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-3-7/293458.md?page=2)
