David A. is pretty good. Big voice for such a little dude. He reminds me of Freddie Mercury just a little bit. ---

He’s young, as cute as a bug in a rug, can sing. We’ll be seeing a lot of this David. Plus, he’s Spanish and you know how I feel about Spanish guys. ---

Memo to Randy and Paul: enough with the constant “I forgot your age” schpiel that you do EVERY year. Every time the kid sings. ---

That, innocent, self-effacing, “aw shucks” thing he’s working is going to get him so much tail. ---

I don’t think of Harry Nillson as being “castrated.” Anyway, I actually like the “rocker guy” this year, even if he does look exactly like the parody of a rocker guy from American Dreamz. ---

Re Danny’s attempt at Jailhouse Rock: Elvis is spinning in his grave. That was the most vanilla, Wonderbread boring thing I’ve seen in a while. ---

In what world does someone make Leo Sayer sound better than Elvis? He’s got a good enough voice, proved that in the auditions, but that poor boy just isn’t half as good-looking as he thinks he is, bless his heart. ---

Is Jailhouse Rock even from the 60s? I thought it was from the 50s. Okay I went off to the IMDb and the movie came out in 1957. ETA: Geez, spend some time looking at IMDb and cricetus beats me to the comment. ---

I loves me some Danny, in a purely VFTW way. I’ll vote for him just to keep his personality around. He actually has a pretty good voice, although you wouldn’t know it from listening to that. ---

So far, for me, Danny Noriega is this season’s Sanjaya. I know, I know, it’s probably too soon to call, but he’s already grating on me as badly as Sanjaya did. ---

Guys, how does one manage to have the exact same length 5 o’clock shadow all the time? Is there a special electric razor setting for that?
