Why couldn’t super hot model husband be a singer? ---

Because he’s obviously tone-deaf. ---

And there you see how somebody who is really awful can receive encouragment from those who should know better. Still, she’s married to a super hot guy who’ll look like a fool in front of all America instead of hurt her feelings. ---

I have greek salad and pizza now, suddenly everyone sounds so much better! A nod of thanks to the producers who decided on more backstory, Nail Bag, Horse Boxer Blonde and Glitter Girl are way easier to dish than “that guy, with the red shirt maybe it was brown…did he wear glasses?” ---

[QUOTE=Biggirl] Is the guy with the creepy dad and the key a Promise Keeper? [/QUOTE] That seriously weirded me out. What kind of dad doesn’t even want his son to KISS a girl??? ---

The future governor of OK really did sound better than expected. And I don’t think that was a put on. ---

Yeah, I thought that the politician did alright with that song. That is a VERY difficult song to sing. Colton = Redneck Blake. ---

[QUOTE=Drain Bead] Colton = Redneck Blake. [/QUOTE] I was thinking he was a Blake/Dawson Leery combo. He was okay. I agree that there are a lot of guys that sound like that, but he’d be the one the little girls will have on speed dial, if he makes it that far. ---

Simon saying there were a “lot of guys” like that last guy is kind of a joke coming from a guy who’s been putting through a never ending stream of Carrie Underwood clones. He seems to have a problem with anyone who seems the slightest bit rock or has the least bit of edge. ---

[QUOTE=Drain Bead] Hayseed Drew is hot as hell. [/QUOTE] But he’s _country_. One thing AI has done for is me made me not hate anything with the slightest twang instantly and intensely. I even like that revenge song Carrie Underwood did. But I don’t like country much. ---

I’ll put him on mute. The country people end up tanking during theme weeks anyway. ---

Ha ha. He’s wearing a costume and he has an accent. We’ve nevers een either one of those things before. I think I might actually be burned out on this show. Was it always this repetitive and annoying or is it just this year? ---

**Dio** it’s you babe. You’d rather set your head on fire than listen to Kelly, and she’s arguably the best thing AI has ever had. It’s not going to get any better for you. Cute dancing by Paula on the endless I am your brother thing. ---

[/QUOTE] The best thing that ever AI ever had was that al Qaeda looking dude who sang “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” and then got kicked out of the Hollywood round because he refused to shave off his 40 foot beard. I want to see more people like that. Kelly Clarkson never did anything for me. I find her safe and bland and disposable. ---

_We’re Brothers Forever_ is going to be the biggest hit of 2008. I see it as a _We Are The World_ charity extravaganza. ---
