If Scott “rocks out” then why oh why oh WHY JESUS WHY is he singing a Hall & Oates song that isn’t “Maneater”? No-talent assclown … can we please shove him in a big box, poke some holes in the top, and send him the hell back to his home planet? Oh, and Paula? Would you SHUT the eff UP? ---

Don’t you DARE denigrate She’s Gone. I loooove that song. It’s right behind Sara Smile in my favorite H&O songs. ---

Hmm… Ok, so Scott may leave this week instead of Anthony… Oh well… One more week with him… ---

Simon was right. He couldn’t find the key during the verses. And it’s kind of bizarre to hearing him talk about what a rocker he is right before he goes out and does a Hall and Oates Ballad. ---

She screwed up the words. And the ending wasn’t as strong as everyone else’s but I loved that. ---

Well, Carrie … excellent outfit! I totally covet those jeans (and that plastic Barbiedoll butt, frankly). And you sound good. But you still have dead eyes, and I still hate you. Is having a personality against the religion of your pod person overlords? Please, go away. ---

It looks like Carrie’s been getting some stage tips from Bo. I think I recognized a couple of his moves up there. ---

That was Carrie’s only performance of the season that I haven’t liked. I know she can do rock since she nailed Heart a few weeks ago, but meh. As for other performers, Anthony was surprisingly my favorite, and I didn’t think Anwar’s was that good. ---

Well, I was hoping someone would do Queen this year. Although, I was hoping it would be (1) Bo, and (B) “Fat Bottomed Girls.” _Le sigh._ Did we ever find out how Constantine fixed his previous speech impediment, where everything was slurred all the time? Now it seems like he overenuciates everything. That said, he didn’t do badly. He’s a complete ick, but I think I … _I think I love him_. Kill me now. Please. ---

I wonder if Simon was being serious. He totally missed a couple of the high notes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-4-12/298996.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-4-12/298996.md?page=4)
