I’m not a Streisand fan, but her version of Memories reduces me to tears from her first note. Paris started off strong and then it went off the rails into her completely not understanding the lyrics and belting it out when it required pathos. What did Simon say? The phone rang and I had to answer it… ---

[QUOTE=RachelChristine] Biggirl, we saw Kat’s wardrobe malfunction here! I didn’t notice undergarments but my dad sure did! Glad to hear I’m not the only one who saw that button pop. [/QUOTE] Wasn’t me who saw the malfunction. I try not to look at Kat too much as her camera goo-goo eyes annoys me. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] It looks like Paris is going with the Kristy McNichol hair tonight. Kind of boring song but she sounds great. I don’t think a single one of the guests has yet said they weren’t blown away by it. [/QUOTE] I meant to say “…blown away by HER.” ---

[QUOTE=KSO] This isn’t a smiling song, goddammit. [/QUOTE] What the gender-neutral initials said! Dammit, I like Paris, but I can’t tolerate the huge grin that shows she has no clue what she’s singing about. P.S. It’s me who saw the panties. :eek: ---

_Bleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf._ I arffing HATE this song. For singing this mess, Taylor deserves to be shot without trial. Plus, he looks like the drunken best man at someone’s Big Fat Karaoke Wedding. ---

Wow, Pauler’s all belligerent and shit. She must have run out of Valium or something. ---

I thought Taylor under-sang it a little bit in the beginning but was pretty good at the end. I think the judge’s are working on trying to deflate the vote totals for Taylor. ---

Oh, and you could see it in his face while he was singing the song. Adam knew it wasn’t very good from about the midpoint. ---

How did Chris got away for singing that song, while the others didn’t? ---

What is it with all the total ass song choices tonight? I wish I could say something bad about Chris’s performance but I can’t. He’s actually making a mediocre song sound pretty good.
