Lil in the pimp spot… hope she actually lives up to it this week. ---

It was not pitchy at all. He was on key the whole time. I thought it was a pale shadow of the original, but he did OK with it, and at least he picked a song that doesn’t suck. Oh, they got it all backwards! Danny was supposed to do “The Rose”! ---

Dio, clearly you missed the beginning of the show- the judges are only speaking in pairs from now on, due to all the complaints they received last week about going over time. ---

Kris was pretty good. ---

It’s from the excellent movie “Once”. Good job Kris! ---

Dio, I’m actually kind of surprised you wouldn’t appreciate the song or the movie. I could just as easily seeing you rave about them both. ---

Well, that’s dumb. Simon is the hook for the whole show. Without critiques from Simon, this show is just “Star Search.” If time is an issue, dump Kara. She adds absolutely nothing to the show. ---

They’re still going to go over a little bit. ---

Lil, this song has a melody. Find it, please. ---

Oops. She’s having trouble finding the notes and pretending they’re gospel fills. It’s painful to listen to. Poor kid. ---

Not liking Lil at all tonight. This may be my least favorite performance from her. She needed to have a winner tonight. Paula’s high! ---

I think Paula just didn’t see any reason to be mean. Lil can’t make the argument that she did the song well. ---

What did Paula say to Lil exactly? “You picked a song with good lyrics.” ---

I think Lil was the worst of the night. And I say that even given the Adamses and Richie, which automatically lose points for song choice alone. ---
