I think this is a poor song choice for Chris. He’s starting to sound repetitive and this is not a particularly exciting song. ---

Chris kind of sucked. ---

Chris is sounding a little goat-y to me. But he’s so pretty. And I like that song. ---

I think Kevin got confused and thought this was a high school talent show. ---

I think it’s the end of the journey for Kevin. Buh-bye. ---

[another **Borborygmi** driveby] **Eleusis** (and everyone for indulging my earlier question about the Tuesday show), thanks so much! I was hoping the whole thing was a little, I dunno, _juicier_, but I’m glad to get confirmation about the inadvertant voiceover and I find it amusing that it was Simon. Thanks again for making the effort to go back to your recording. [/another **Borborygmi** driveby] Back to real time… Good Lord, how many times is _Vincent_ going to be sung on IA? ---

Did he just say that Kanye West is his guide on stage and then sing Starry, Starry Night? He’s sounding better than I’ve ever heard him. But he still sucks. ---

This is horrendous. Even Clay couldn’t make this song work and Kevin is missing notes all over the place. I think the journey is over for Chicken Little. ---

I missed Gedeon, but I heard him from the other room. He sounded good, but when I watch him he kind of _scares_ me a wee bit. Is it just me, or does he have about _forty thousand teeth_, like Giada “Little Big Head” DeLaurentis? Chris was _not_ very good tonight, and I usually like him very much. And that shirt? It looked like the _exact same shirt_ Bucky wore last week, only without the sparkles. You’re more handsome – have better fashion sense! And would it kill the man to put on some leather pants? Throw us a bone, here! Oh, _sweet young Kevin_. You weigh about as much as my cat, I think – and not the big one, either. The little one, with the J-Lo butt. But you really _are_ adorable, and that song could have been _waaaay_ worse. If you get a box of cookies in the mail? They’re from me. ---

That’s the best Buck has sounded- the best job he’s done controlling his growl. ---

Can somebody explain the Jacob joke to dumb old Walter? Kevin is really a lot like Kanye West. I see it now how Kanye has influenced his singing. Kanye west and KRS-1. ---

Did he talk that song? He looked a little distracted. But I think he’s adorable. Pauler is retarded. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-no-american-idol-thread-yet/347435.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-no-american-idol-thread-yet/347435.md?page=9)
