> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > Lilly out while Katie AND Paige make it through? > > This is quickly turning into a big steaming pile of suck really fast. I sort of expected it…there are so many contestants this year that are “quirky girls”, so the “quirky girl” voters are split all over the place. There will always be a large group of voters that love the teen cheerleader type and Katie is their only choice. I uysually skip the results show but I’ve watched the last two because of the “nothing else on” factor. The “drama and tears” act is so silly, come on, someone is going to get kicked out every week. And they kept cutting to Sioban in tears when the unmemorable wimpy looking blonde boy got sent home – did they have something going, I wonder? ---

It’s kind of fun to contemplate which Stones song each might sing.

One of them will absently worry the guitar and sing _Angie_ or _As Tears Go By_, I just know it. ---

I have such a middle-aged lady crush on him… Well, on the plus side, doing Rolling Stones songs, they don’t have to worry about being vocally challenged. 😃 ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > I hope somebody has the guts to do “Brown Sugar.” Time was that I’d say “naaa, they won’t go there”. But once Bucky Covington got away with _Fat Bottomed Girls_, I don’t know if I can say I’d really be surprised by any song choice (at least not until Michael Lynche gives a stunning rendition of _Too Drunk To Fuck_ during Dead Kennedys week). By the by, everyone – in addition to the current AI game thread, we’re relaunching the old-style of game as well. [Head over before next week’s performances](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=555649) and see if you can pick the order in which the Top 12 will be eliminated. ---

Todrick was going to do “Satisfaction,” so that bullet has been dodged. Those of us who have now sworn off the season are immediately faced with a quandary: David Cook returns with band to play this Wednesday’s results show! ---

Hm. Just found out both Kesha and Orianthi are also scheduled to play Idol that night, so one or more of the three may be pre-taping for a later show. However David made a point of announcing it on Twitter while the others are from third-hand sources, so I think David is likely to be live.
