Brooke is my favorite so far tonight. ---

One would think this song would be perfect for Brooke, but it’s not working. At all. She’s performing terribly. ---

Brooke sounds off to me. Like she’s a semidemideciquaver note below where she should be. ---

Why can’t Brooke ever just shut the fuck up when she’s getting criticism. Funny that Paula called her “authentic.” I think she’s the phoniest contestant on the show. Thank you, Simon, for calling her on the vacancy of her performance. ---

Ouch. Kristy hit a clinker there at the beginning. Bah, she sounds fine…wait, she missed another note. This is pretty meh. High school talent show. ---

I don’t think Paula’s smoking anything. What is Paula _drinking_, on the other hand – fair question. ---

You know, I wish the audience would let the judges talk. All of them, not only Simon. They all cheer and boo and never shut up. I saw from Shyster-- who did I miss? I have nothing to say about The Dumpster, except that they seemed to have broken her of that habit. I cannot be objective since my hatred burns with the fire of total irrationality. ---

Whatever she’s on, it makes her happy. I want some. Kristy Lee was meh. Her dress WAS nice though. ---
