Love, love, love Mr. Dreadlocks! 100% agree with Simon on he and David A. They are easily the most genuine on stage. They are people I _want_ to see, while the others I will just watch because they’re on. ---

Aw, I liked Dreads Dude and his guitar. He picked the right song. Now that was “authentic”, Paual. ---

I liked Jason too, but I’d rather take the Aussie home for a night or two. 🆒 ---

So in the recap, I realized that the guy who was singing Moon River could have been doing an Up With People concert. Do they still do those? ---

Yeah, Aussie is a doll - like Michael Hutchence - but not dead! I didn’t think the vocals were good at all but the judges did not agree. Best of the night, Little David and Dread Boy. And special acknowledgement for Princess Dani for giving Simon the Dreaded Double Cobra Head. ---

I liked Medium-Sized David too, but Castro blew me away. Little David was okay, but I can’t see him being a pop star like I can Medium David and Dreads. ---

I like Michael Johns! But funny how they spend all this time trashing Leif Jr. for failing to do something original and make the song his own (which I think was \*exactly \*what he was trying to do, but needed more rehearsal), and then they overpraise Michael for doing a note-for-note impersonation of Jim Morrison. He could have been lip-synching the original recording, for all he “put his mark on it.” :rolleyes: What? The judges contradict their own advice? Say it ain’t so! On recap: David H. - who? Chickieze (sic) - eh. The other David - bad Frat boy - bah Robbie - wrong song! David A - has won this thing probably Gay Danny - this year’s Sanjaya, if he were cuter. Luke - forgot him already Colton - Fakey McInsincere Leif Jr. - this year’s Kevin whatsisname (Chicken Little) Jason C. - OMG I’m drooling on myself Michael Johns - Very, very capable ---

I’m about an hour behind (stuff to do) Wow, Luke Menard sucked about 7 different kinds of ass tonight. Good grief. So far David Archuletta (short 17 y/o kid) was miles better than everyone so far. Noreago was pretty awful too. Last week I was worried that we might actually get a couple good performances. Thank goodness that never happened (Colton’s on now for me). Why people think they can save their performances with one note at the end, I have no idea. ---

David A - has won this thing probably Gay Danny - this year’s Sanjaya, if he were cuter. Luke - forgot him already Colton - Fakey McInsincere Leif Jr. - this year’s Kevin whatsisname (Chicken Little) Jason C. - OMG I’m drooling on myself Michael Johns - Very, very capable [/QUOTE] Kevin Covais! I can’t believe I remember that. Anyway, Gay Danny is MUCH cuter than Sanjaya. Sanjaya was kind of smarmy. I predict Chikeze stays because he’s the only black guy, though I’d totally put him in my bottom two. Leif Jr. has potential, so I’d keep him around. On a personal note, I’m a whole lot older than many of these guys, which makes me a little sad and confused. Should go: Chikeze, Luke Will go: David H, Jason Y (maybe Luke, if people are willing to give David H another chance. But the first performance is always cursed. You heard it here.) ---

re: Biggirl Hate him I suppose is a bit strong, but I definitely didn’t find anything from his performance to warrant me having any faith in him. The problem with this song and the way he sang it is that he seemed to take the easiest possible route through it and he was still a little sketchy. It’s entirely possible that he just made the worst possible song choice. The performance was bad though.
