American Idol 5-3

Noooooo! The first song! sob

Nah… I think it’s good that he was having fun with that song. And I haven’t heard it before, so it wasn’t ruined…

I didn’t care for it at all.

Paula is as intelligable as I’ve ever seen her.

Well Anthony sucked.

I think Paula’s trying really hard to seem sober and cogent. I actually kind of like her this way.

Doogie Howser did not do a good job tonight. I fear for the future and hope he doesn’t go home. Won’t somebody think of the children?

Confidential to Seacrest: If you call him “Scotty the Body” one more time, I am going to rip your 'nads out through your eye sockets. Assuming you have any (nads, not eye sockets).

He’s not leaving until he’s a star, says Scott…

Please… please, let him go… And why is Simon laughing?

This is turning out to be Scott’s best performance by far.

It’s good to watch this show with your back turned. Scott sounds fantastic and looks bad. A-Fed sounded like crap but looked good.

Hey. Scott did okay with that song.

I’m not liking Vonzelle. I’m not liking not liking Vonzelle. Somebody better do worse. Perhaps A-Fed. Be he seems charmed.

Can someone please tell me what the “look” is that Scott is going for? Pillsbury doughboy on crack? What? And maybe it’s just me, but I find the cross obnoxious. Although it is less obnoxious than, oh, everything about Scott. Urg. I have such a visceral hate for him that I can hardly see straight. Is there a 12-step program for people like me?

I think Vonzell is doing an OK, but not spectacular, job. Can’t tell because I don’t recognize the song. Tell me, if you know: Is the music of Leiber & Stoller very vocally challenging? Because it doesn’t sound as tough as some of the songs that have already been performed, but nobody seems to be doing a particularly good job. Show Tune Night was better.

No, I wouldn’t call their music challenging. Of course, that might make it harder to sing in a kinda spectacular way.

Oooh, now comes Bo…

Bo is underwhelming me.

Now that I think about it… in his wedding-singing gigs… He probably has sung that song a few times before.

Okay, I just love Bo’s voice.

Hmm. Not what I would have expected Bo to pick. But he’s doing an OK job. He looks like an extra from the acid trip scene in “Almost Famous,” though. Can I join whatever cult he is The Leader of? I’d be willing to have The Leader’s babies.

Stand By Me is far to repetative. It was boring.

We are now at the point where I like everybody-- yes, even Scott-- so I’ll be upset by whoever is voted out.

I can barely hear her…
