McPhee did pretty well. Choosing Aretha is a risk but she didn’t embarrass herself. ---

Is it McFever now? Did she change her name. Has it always been McFever and I’ve just been screwing it up? ---

That was like listening to someone sing the phone book. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Is it McFever now? Did she change her name. Has it always been McFever and I’ve just been screwing it up? [/QUOTE] No, it’s McPhee, but we’re being McClever, I think. I blame Seacrest and the hair bleach that has infiltrated his few remaining brain cells. ---

No, it’s McPhee – just someone trying to be clever with word play. ---

Is this a Pink song? It sounds kind of like God is a DJ. ---

I know Ayla is 12 feet tall, but can’t _anyone_ find her pants that fit? God, enough with the gauchos! And who picked this song? It’s _terrible_. I have no idea what is going on tonight. Have these women _all lost their minds?_ ---

Wow … Mandisa has excellent teeth. Bring it, girl! _Chaka Khan!_ Love her. I think I have that shawl, too. Yay me! This is the first performance tonight that actually made me happy. ---

My son just said “What the hell is wrong with the band.” Mandisa should have done much, much better with that song. That being said, she was the best tonight. Dang, Randy. It really wasn’t that good. ---

Mandisa was just loud. She wasn’t that great. ---

Aaah… Even Simon liked it… And yes, she sang her butt out… ---

Far above the rest tonight, and with only Pickler to come, Mandisa doesn’t have much to worry about. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Mandisa was just loud. She wasn’t that great. [/QUOTE] … well, relative to everyone else, she was Beverly Sills or something. If the band wasn’t “teh suxx0r” there would be no roof on that building right now. ---
