I can see Nadia’s cootchie! ---

Riddle me this, Batman: Is it possible for us mere mortals to get hair like Nadia’s? Because it is completely badass. But the song is not. Isn’t Mac Davis the guy who sang “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” with the Muppets? ---

Paula’s tanked again. ---

I thought that was a pretty good performance by Nadia but I agree the song choice was baffling. ---

Dammit–I wish Bo had a rock band backing him, instead of that Muzak lite shit. ---

He gets prettier and prettier. I really like his voice but he could have done more with that song. ---

Freebird is not a well known rock song? I think Simon is showing his English roots. ---

“Freebird” is not a well known song? WTF 😕 ---

Ding ding ding! I totally called Bo’s song. But “Free Bird” is from “Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd,” isn’t it (1973)? Anyway, do I win a prize, or am I going to have to satisifed with “MacArthur Park” being stuck in my brain until I stick my head in the oven (thanks AGAIN, **Dio** )? On preview: **Sampiro** , I think he got a bad dose of whatever Paula’s on. Maybe they gave him some Zanaz, instead of Xanax. Oh … and I hatehateHATE Dionne Warwick. Why can’t Anwar pick a song that doesn’t suck like a Dyson? ---

I like Anwar and all and that was a nice vocal, but still…Dione Warwick? He could try to butch it up a _little_ bit. ---

> [@Good Egg](#): > > Simon said Freebird was a sacred song. He did? I really couldn’t hear him too well because the audience keeps jeering loudly whenever he opens his mouth. ---

I’m sorry, every time I see A-Fed, I think, “Hey! Doogie Howser sings!” That song was just meh for me. Oh! I love “Let’s Hear It For The Boy”! Denise Williams is highly underrated, y’ask me. Love Vonzell’s top, too. Go Vonzell! Go “Footloose”! Mmm … Kevin Bacon. I’m sorry, what? ---

My husband says that Anthony wasn’t even as good as Paul Young. Ouch. I don’t think Vonzelle was great. She’s gotta be extra special great or she’s out. ---

Ok… This week I think the singers are better than last week. Nadia… I don’t remember her hair that big… And it’s true, so many songs to choose from and she picks that song… Wasn’t that what happened to Jessica? Bo… great song, and I like Freebird. And does Simon really does not know that Freebird is a well-known song in America? Anthony… I dislike him, and I wanted him to leave, but he did sing much better than in previous weeks… ---
