I don’t know if I can watch how every many nights of this. I hate these early rounds. I love Hollywood, but this is just awful. I watch it only for the few gems, but I can’t even do that. Just annoying as can be! ---

Blondie is cute, but “Amazing Grace” is a very easy song to sing – very narrow range of notes — she got through on her looks. ---

Not to mention, the word “lost” does not have five syllables. I wanted to hear Milo’s third verse. ---

[QUOTE=Biggirl] How long before No Sex Allowed is released and it sweeps the internet by storm?

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] She did so pimp her kid. If she didn’t want to go there (to the boo hoo, I have a retarded baby, put me on TV place), she wouldn’t have brought it up or allowed the cameras to catch all her crying and sobbing. I say, don’t smoke crack and you won’t have crack babies. I found that whole sequence rather manipualtive and insulting. I think I’ve just run out of patience with the backstories in general. That should have nothing to do with the show. I’m certainly not going to root for someone just because she’s not responsible enough to use birth control. [/QUOTE] Dude, I was with you until the crack comment. Rett’s babies aren’t crack babies, you can make a valid commentary on the rest without being an ass. ---

I love how Sea to Shining Sea girl’s vibrato seems to be controlled by her arm movements. Freaky! ---

Stalker’s song is so much better than No Sex Allowed. ---

If that waxing guy screams “Kelly Clarkson!” at any point, I will die. ---

Are you allowed to be on AI if you have previously recorded a record? “Little Liz” creeps me out. ---

Excuse me. I just found that whole thing so offensively heavy-handed. This is supposed to be a talent competition, not Queen for a Day. ---

[QUOTE=LilyoftheValley] Are you allowed to be on AI if you have previously recorded a record? “Little Liz” creeps me out. [/QUOTE] Yeah, there are at least two people (counting Little Liz) who made it to Hollywood this year who released records before. I’m pretty sure Daughtry, Chris Sligh, and Taylor Hicks were in bands that released records before they got on the show. As long as you’re not currently under contract, you’re okay. ---
