Love this song. Don’t like slowing it down… it loses its catchiness. ---

I find Carly to be really full of herself in hr performances. She always looks like she thinks she’s blowing the roof off when she’s really nothing special. I’m calling “cruise ship” on this one. ---

ARGH what is Carly WEARING? Someone PLEASE SET HER WARDROBE ON FIRE. ETA: OMG Simon. Yes. ---

I’m afraid one night soon Paula is going to take out a sharpened nail file and slice her arm on nationwide TV. ---

I missed everything. I saw the end of Romulan. Is Paula gonna climb down Randy’s throat? Castro is dreamy. Carla sounded nice. ---

After seven seasons? Nope. We’re not expecting great performances. ---

Paula is wasted tonight. And so much word on Simon calling Carly on those disgusting sleeveless tops she always wears. She needs to cover that filth on her arm. This isn’t Jerry Springer. This isn’t Cops. Cover that shit up. ---

Effie David up next… here comes either _Coat of Many Colors_ or _Eagle When She Soars_. ---

Simon is exactly right–Carly looks like trash with that tattoo and the wretched outfits. This was actually the first time I liked her singing. One other question: could Pauler’s pupils be any more dilated? ---

Why does his voice sound better when I don’t look at him? He’s not a bad looking kid, but he’s just somehow cloying in his facial expressions. ---

We need to have a shooter game with Idol. Aura’s always good for a shot. ---

[QUOTE=Sampiro] Why does his voice sound better when I don’t look at him? He’s not a bad looking kid, but he’s just somehow cloying in his facial expressions. [/QUOTE] He just tries too hard to be soulful by scunching up his face. He needs to grow up a little. ETA: Is Kristy Lee barefoot? ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Archie sounds good, I guess. [/QUOTE] He’s totally Grobanesque in talent and sound, he’s just somehow pre-packaged. Plus, even with his “little emotions” (Dolly’s words not mine) his singing about _Smokie Mountain Memory_ sounds about as connected and nostalgic as me singing the theme to _Good Times_. ---

Oh, Lord, Kristy’s doing _Coat_. How cloying is this going to be? Yep. That’s about what I thought. They should use videos of this chick at Guantanamo Bay. ---

'kay, to me this is the best of the night so far. Michael Johns’ _Jolene_ will probably take the night though.
