Kris has a poor falsetto. Otherwise, not bad. ---

I’m very tired of the judges. Can we vote them off? ---

Danny and Kris were postively underwhleming. YAWN Hope Adam can impart some excitement. ---

Dude, this song has a perfectly good melody. ---

Of the three first songs I liked Kris best. ---

Adam’s **One** was a little disappointing, it didn’t transition smoothly from the softer to louder parts. Round 1 goes to… I dunno, I think Kris! Oh, shut up judges. You all suck. Is that a pageant smile on Adam? He seems tired or something. ---

This has to be scripted. Kara can’t really be that obnoxious off the cuff, can she? ---

I’m with you River Hippie, I like Kris best also, of the first three songs. Good thing David Cook is still around putting on concerts. Long may he play. ---

Me too, actually. I did not like Adam’s interpretation of “One” at all. ---

I made the mistake of taking a phone call during the judges comments on Danny, what did they say? ---

Oh Danny. The perfect song choice for you. (In that I hate it in the same indescribable way I hate you.) ---

Am I taking crazy pills? What about that was a “vocal master class?” At best, it was just okay. It was very weak in the beginning, and bombastic at the end. There was a nice part in the middle that’s it. I hope Kris finishes his performance with a big middle finger toward the judges and “America.” GAH! ETA: Kris is kicking ass. It’s the first smile I’ve had on my face all night. Go, Kris! ---

I’ve not been a Danny fan but that was probably the best I liked him so far. He got away from the shouty-ness he usually exhibits.
