Luke is pretty. But that is the worst version of that song I’ve ever heard. I think he’ll pass because he’s cute. ---

Harry Nillson again. If someone can just find a way to put the lime in the coconut, we’ll complete the trifecta. ---

The thing about Luke is I wanted to put the TV on mute and just stare at him, which isn’t a good sign for him to win AI. But man, is that guy pretty. ---

Luke: They picked \*this \*guy over Josiah? Omgawd, if you could bottle boring it would have his face on it. Bring back the mentally-unstable teenager, please! His reaction to criticism is even boring. NEXT! Paula is worse than ever. Shut up. ---

Very pretty. He looks quite a bit like Hugh Jackman to me. ---

Paula looks kind of frizzy and blow dried tonight. Like they just barely got her out of the shower, sobered up and dressed before the show started. ---

My son says his name reminds him of British fruit. Colton is lost in that song. I can’t say I’ve heard his voice. ---

Colton reminded me of that girl from a few years ago who had a great voice but no clue as to what she was singing about. He looked like a douche grinning his way through Suspicious Minds. ---

Damn, Luke is one of the three guys who doesn’t need a makeover, and he really wasn’t very memorable. Paula looks like she’s been watching some Charlie’s Angels, the original run. I nearly felt sorry for her sputtering when Simon nailed her earlier, you could almost hear the thoughts crashing and colliding as she tripped over herself trying to find a way to express even one thought at a time and not call him a right bastard. Damn that’s good TV. I actually really liked Colton’s song, once I stopped looking at the screen. ---

Wasn’t Suspicious Minds what Chris Daughtry got booted off singing? A woman on Swedish Idol also sang it on the final show this year – and came in second. Step away from the Elvis! ---

They picked this tool over Josiah? This is some bullshit. Edited to add: Also, other people are noticing that Carly is not there when they show the girls. Hrm. ---

I hope Leif Frampton doesn’t get voted off. He’s got potential. ---

Ladies and Gentleman, meet this year’s Sanjaya. ---

Leif Frampton–hee. I liked him. Kid seems to have some actual personality. ---

Leif Frampton as Sanjaya? No way, Danny or maybe Colton, but Lief can sing, is likable and will get more interesting as he gets more comfortable. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Ladies and Gentleman, meet this year’s Sanjaya. [/QUOTE] Not nearly enough attitude for that, but then again, Danny’s too good of a singer to get the Sanjaya 2.0 nod. Can we combine the two of them and create one horrible monstrosity to unleash upon mankind? ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Ladies and Gentleman, meet this year’s Sanjaya. [/QUOTE] I lurved ole Sanjay. I may be the only one praying for another Sandie. He was so much fun. Now, on season 4 there was that awful Barbra Streisand wannabe who stayed far beyond what she was worth (she should have been shot during the auditions). So whenever someone says ‘the next Sanjaya’ I’ll substitute Mikaleekeemakahi. ---
