What, no American Idol thread yet?

Ack. This guy blows. Worst of the night.

Jesus wept.

What the HELL are the judges smoking? Ace was hideous. This show comes off as so fixed sometimes.

Is it me, or is Ace goo-gooing the girls when he has to hit a note he can’t so that they can scream and cover it up.

Boy, maybe I’m hearing something else than all of the judges cuz sounded terrible all the way through.

I can make squeaky sounds too, but I don’t call it singing.

What? WHAT? Randy – WHAT?!? The hell? Are they all on crack? Did a Kleig light explode and everybody is sucking in fumes or something? (Do Kleig lights even make fumes?) They’re calling that a “falsetto”? It sounds like somebody put his nuts in a vise. Or else Michael Jackson hisownself was touching him somewhere … bad.

It must be some horrible distortion cause by the airwaves.

My vote:

Tyler
Chris
Gedeon
Elliott
Bucky
Will
Ace
Kevin

But I don’t think Ace will actually be out; I think it will be Will and Kevin.

I’d rank Taylor as the best. Will, Chris and Gedeon were solid and safe. Ace sucked the hairy bag but it will probably be Kevin and Bucky going home. That’s too bad because Bucky is a better singer than Ace but for some unfathomable reason, the judges have decided to pimp Ace beyond all reason.

When I was a kid, my dog Toby would scratch his back on a tree branch that was just the right height for him to scratch his back. Toby would also howl while he was scratching his back on the tree branch–“Owwww Owwww Owww.” This is what Ace made me think of.

My vote is the same as JeffB’s vote, except that I’d switch Gedeon and Chris.

Ace was horrible, and I wish he’d get voted off, but apparently lots of people think this is America’s Next Top Male Model, so he’ll be in the competition a long time.

Elliot is the one who’ll get voted off while less talented people stay on. I wish I could be sorry for him, but… he sang Bryan Adams, so he deserves whatever happens to him. What was he thinking? He seems hipper than that. Maybe somebody told him to sing Ryan Adams, and he got confused.

I want Bucky to be around for a while, because eventually he’ll dig up a Steve Earle song and it’ll kick ass.

I agree that Taylor was best. If he had to do Michael McDonald, I wish he’d at least dug out an old Doobie Brothers track.

Kevin was comically bad. Ace was uncomically bad.

Everyone else was somewhere between “OK” and “Whatever.”

I thought that was a Dobbie Brothers song.

Ah, it turns out you’re right. I’ll shut up now.

Oh, there’s a reason: Ace is pretty. Unfortunately, he’s pretty bad at singing and pretty obnoxious with the staring-into-the-camera-longingly. I keep telling him that he’s not getting into my pants, and he just won’t listen. I mean, I know I’m gorgeous and all, but I want a man who loves me for my mind, dammit. He does that again next week and I’m getting the itching powder.

Well, I hope Kevin and Will get sent home tomorrow, but Bucky and Ace aren’t safe, at all.

My wife, who hates country music, is all of a sudden in love with Bucky.

Ehh, I don’t think Elliot is safe either.

Ace is safe. Teenage girls vote the most, and seem to listen with their eyes.

I could have sworn I posted this already. I hope it’s not floating around unwanted in some strange thread.

Ace’s performance was the worst since auditions. But he’ll wont get voted off because his fan base dails and dials and dials and dails and. . .

I think Kevin is gone but everybody else was so mediocre the only person who I would be surprised to see go would be the worst singer of the bunch.

Aha! I was just reading the message board at TWoP and someone put their finger on who Gedeon reminds me of - Velvet Jones, the old Eddie Murphy pimp character from SNL. ("Hi. I’m Velevet Jones. This is my new book, I Wanna Be a Ho.)

The Windchill girl half-heartedly threw a few votes Willward, but she misses David. Really, was there any other boy in the competition you’d want your daughter voting for? If she voted once for Ace I’d lock her in her room.
