I thought Nurse Rocker was pretty good tonight. A nice change from the wonderbread blondes singing elvator songs. ---

So far 2 mehs, a pretty good, and some jammin’ fun. I hope rocker nurse stays for a long time. She’s not exactly textbook Idol material, but she’s fun and spicy. ---

Wow, I’ve got to leave the room. That’s terrible! ---

I hope Amy’s excuse is that she’s sick, because that is some horrific singing. Ouch! ---

Another fucking meh. She missed on a few notes – hit a real clinker near the end there – other than that she was just as boring and plastic as the rest of them. ---

I want the word “cabaret” stricken from Simon’s vocabulary. ---

I wish we could just fire all the Underwoods the first week and move on. ---

When Amy Davis started singing, my neighbor’s dogs started barking and howling, seriously. ---

No wonder they mentioned the flu thing because all the girls sound off to me. She knows it wasn’t that good. ---

God, Snow White is coming up next. I irrationally despise this chick. I hope Simon succeeds in corrupting her soul. Turtles again. I would never buy this or listen to it but it’s competent. I can’t be fair to her because I hate her. ---

Brooke kept grabbing her own hair and closing her eyes, and it made her look like Meg Ryan in the deli scene of _When Harry Met Sally_. I want a screencap! ---

I’m glad that Simon called her on her happy/sunny, plastic mediocrity. I think he should introduce her to weed. ---

Where have they been hiding this Alex girl? I wish I could have seen her Amy Winehouse in Hollywood. Great song choice. ---

This one has good stage presence and a pretty good delivery but it’s not a great song choice. If you’re going to do Otis Redding, do “Dock of the Bay,” not “Spinning Wheel.” ---

1991 TLC had a yard sale and Alexandria went crazy. At least she was in tune. ---
