P.S. I like Scott’s version of that song better than Phil’s.  
Don’t worry about me. I don’t mind talking to myself.

But Scott doesn’t have a pretty face, which I think will be his downfall on this show. Go ahead, Biggirl, talk to yourself, I, at least, am listening. 🙂

His face looked worse than usual. They shaved some of his facial hair, didn’t they? It made his cheeks look more chipmunk like and his goatee made his chin look smaller which didn’t help. I also think his cockeyed hat contributed to the cheeks.

Carrie is beautiful, **Biggirl**. I’m so disappointed they aren’t resinging the songs, just to see if anyone has improved from last night or is worse than last night.

The only song from last night that I hadn’t heard is the one that Nikko sings. I stand by my original statement that he is too loud over the mic during his performance.

I like this chance to review the performances. I found I liked Anthony and Nikko less, Carrie and Scott more.

If I don’t look at the screen, Connie doesn’t sound like a snake. If I do look at the screen, I want to vomit.

Is anyone voting differently tonight? I haven’t voted the last 2 weeks, preferring it to be God’s will. 😉

He looks that bad to you?

I saw the first 5 minutes, Ryan said they weren’t charging. What a deal!

Hey BigGirl, what’s up?

Paula must be off her drugs tonight. Tongue-in-cheek.

He’s like a snake in…snake’s clothing. He’s smarminess personified. He doesn’t smile, he smirks. He oozes something slimy and boogery.

In short, yes.

I don’t vote, but I doubt my votes would change. I haven’t heard a thing tonight that makes me reconsider what I said last night.

Paula looks pissed. Nadia’s claim that her mohawk was a tribute to Mario was an act of depseration. She knows she stunk up the place last night.

And “GO SIMON!” for calling her out on the Mario comment.

**Jaade** , you are so good about commentary; I have been switching back to Mythbusters, so can you tell me the judges comments from tonight?

How on _earth_ could a mowhawk have anything to do with Mario? 😕

“My job is to annoy you”. Hilarious. I see she came up with her shtick with the “We’re not perfect, c’mon everybody!” What could she say though\< “Yes, I suck”?

I usually type those when the judges are talking **Good Egg** and I’m a loser who doesn’t have Tivo. The one thing I do remember is that Randy retracted his bad comments about Bo last night. Other than that, they’ve generally echoed what they said last night. I wasn’t really paying any attention when the mohawk statement was made.

Who said Jessica’s arrangement was too fast? They were right. Also, I would have liked the shirt except for the big yellow ribbon on it. What is that about?  
And I still hate the skunk hair.

I’m the one who said it was too fast, but I think they aren’t given the whole song’s time. ANyone else think Jessica would be perfect in a remake of Sid & Nancy?
