Finally! Somebody that didn’t sound like crap. ---

There was something weird about Lisa’s performance for me… it was like too low a key for her or something. ---

I’m sure Covais will be disastrous but then we get Taylor, Chris and Paris so it has to get better. ---

[QUOTE=rockle] Lisa sings like one of those robots in the Hall of Presidents at Disney World. She is so Stepford and perfect-looking and boring. _Sigh._ Why is all this Stevie music _boring_ me? _I love Stevie!_ [/QUOTE] I agree. Lisa was _technically_ better than anyone else so far, but - yawn. She just seemed like she was faking it, somehow. ---

Was that John Peter Lewis in the crowd? I’d love to see a “Where are they Now” with top 12s. ---

Nobody else saw the advertisement for _Chicken Little_? Totally gratuitous. ---

I think Kevin just met his fan base. ---

I really wish Kevin were better, because he has a great personality. God, he’s awful. ---

I don’t think he’s that bad… but he’s too young for this song… ---

We were all waiting for Kevin’s professional-stylist makeover. There it is, ladies and gentlemen! Adorable, sweet, sincere, funny - and _so_ needs to go home. ---

Kevin as a sex symbol is just such a disconnect I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it. And the kid has NO rhythm. You know, he’s a great kid and I’m almost old enough to be one of his granny fans, but oy, please, send the kid home and put us out of our misery! ---

OHMYGOD this show has got to get better. My daughter wishes Kevin had done Jungle Fever instead of this song because he’s just not cool enough to sing Part Time Lover. ---

Poor, poor Kevin. It’s like some kind of cruel prank keeping him here and telling he’s a “sex symbol” and everything. ---

I secretly think Kevin is a 75-year-old man who’s retired to West Palm Beach, trapped in the body of a fourth-grader. And there is something completely out of whack and unbalanced in my brain, because _I freakin’ love him._ I actually think he was OK tonight! He had a good time, that’s for sure. And that counts for a lot in my book. Yay Kevin! What is wrong with Simon, seriously? He’s practically drolled all over everybody else, but he won’t cut Kevin a break? Kevin should knock Simon upside the head with his little sign. ---

Were Pauler’s eyes ever in synch? In the last 25 years, at least? ---

Oh. My. God. From the moment Kevin said he was singing “Part Time Lover” until the moment he finished singing, I just could not stop laughing. Oh lordy, I can’t believe he chose that song.
