Casey sounded good. What is Randy’s issue? ETA: Dang, how tall is Casey? And/or, how short is Ryan? ---

I thought Casey sounded really good, and the judges are are still completely wrong about his SRV thing last week. Kara, especially, knows nothing about music and needs to shut the fuck up. ---

Naked Cowboy was okay, but that song and my sleepytime tea had a bit of a synergistic effect. I was wide awake when it started, and my eyelids were drooping by the end. Aaron is like Archuleta, only nowhere near as good. And I hated Archuleta. ---

Please go away, Aaron. Horrible song, terrible performance. Also, what was going on with your thighs? ---

Wow that was bad. Awful song, awful performance, and a creepy grin at the end. ---

This kid sucks, whoever he is (after all these weeks, I still can’t remember who half these people are). He’s way off key. ---

Simon is incessantly saying a song is too old for someone, but it pisses him off when someone else says it. ---

The kid [Aaron] was my first definite NO of the night. Todrick really really REALLY wants to be the Adam Lambert of this season, with the dramatic lighting and the changed-up songs and the weird fashion, but it ain’t gonna happen. He’s just not a strong singer. Blah and more blah. ETA: it sounds to me that the backup singers are totally walking him through this. ETA2: SERIOUSLY? Did you all think that was good? I did not think that was GOOD, Kara. More agreeing with Simon. YES, total Broadway singer. ---

It must sound different in the studio. ---

That’s a hard song to sing. Todrick surprised the hell out of me. I still hate his personality, though. ---

I am mildly disturbed by the fact that I’ve seen umpteen trailers for “Remember Me” and I still can’t tell what it’s about other than two people who like to hug a lot. ---

I like Todrick. I don’t care what anybody says. I like his moxie. He’s like the Chad Ochocinco of the season. Word to Kara: Freddie Mercury was campy too, you stupid bitch. Queen songs are SUPPOSED to be theatrical and a little silly. Learn something about music, for fuck’s sake. ---

Todrick did OK, parts weren’t up to snuff. Still think he’ll be back. Aaron should go home. ---

Heck, I’ll vote for Michael just for choosing a Kate Bush song. Damn, that takes balls. ETA: I keep thinking I’ll get tired of him but he does consistently well every week. Good job, Michael! ---

A guy that big should never sing that high. I also can’t understand a damn word that’s coming out of his mouth, but his voice is so pretty that I don’t care. ---

I feel like most of the guys were playing “rock bottom plus one” tonight. Send Aaron and Todrick home. Tim and Andrew are in danger, though.
