Top 9 perform

I was pleasantly surprised last night with the idols. I felt like it might have been one of the best rounds of the season. I wasn't screaming and cringing (well most of the time) with the song arrangements or choices of the contestants. And that's a good thing Ladies and Gentleman. Let's discuss!

  1. Aaron Kelly started off the show with another slow/serious ballad. I'm getting sick of these with him,,,,he needs to seriously put on a show next week if he's still here. The Long and Winding Road I think may have been a little too much for the country crooner. Here he is, some pre-pubescent kid, who is in some serious need of a shot of youth to prove to America that he is not one dimensional. He might be in trouble this week-
  2. Katie Stevens had a really good night. She sang Let it Be which was also a great song for Season 7 alum Brooke White. And I'm thinking I may be leaning towards Simon with thinking that Katie should possibly go the country route. This may sound bad, but she just doesn't have the look, body, or personality to do the pop/r&b vibe.... think Christina/Fergie/Alicia.... you all know what I'm talking about. But if you think more along the lines of a younger Martina McBride/Taylor Swift/Shania Twain.....can you see it now? Maybe she'll really shine if they do a country week this season. This was her best performance of the season because I believed her.
  3. Andrew Garcia had a great time on stage tonight. Last week really boosted his confidence making it much more enjoyable watching and listening to him. He sang Can't Buy Me Love and changed it up just enough to make it his. I'm not sure if I loved it because I love that song or if he performed it well. It wasn't bad, just alright.
  4. Michael Lynche brought the dramatics again last night. It was a good performance of Eleanor Rigby but it wasn't my favorite. I just don't know if I like him as a performer and star. He's a great personality blah blah blah,, but do I want to see him up on stage or listen to him on the radio...? Not sure about this one yet. Some weeks yes, some weeks no.
  5. Crystal Bowersox hammered out the old Come Together on her gee-tar and did a marvelous job as usual. Some crazy instrument apparently that I've never heard of, got a lot of attention from the panel. Let me look that one up - didgeridoo?- Hmm. Not sure that thing was necessary. She also seemed to have more fun up there on the stage and get into the post song Ryan/Simon banter thing that happens every show.
  6. Holy Tim Urban Batman! Where the heck did this come from is what all of America and the judges are saying, as they scratch their heads in awe! He really did a great job of singing All My Lovin' with his electric guitar. The arrangement was right on and his vocals were right on. Oh dang it Oh man,,, now I have to say that I really liked this one. He didn't seem as uncomfortable as he has every other week this season, and it just fit. Hmmm, as much as it pains me I believe that he is safe this week. eeeek!!
  7. Casey James you are my light! I believe this was his MOMENT that cemented him into this thing. This was his BEST performance and one of my FAVORITES of the season 9!! He was so raw and connected to the song and lyrics of Jealous Guy which I have to admit I am not that familiar with. Casey James is a star people and he just proved what he can do. No more 80's cover band comparisons or wedding singer type cuts. A real artist was shown! I loved it...!
  8. Siobhan Magnus had an alright performance. It was a very difficult song to sing with the breathing, phrasing, and keeping it low key. Across the Universe was a bit sleepy to me, as Randy Jackson pointed out, but I still like her. She needs to have a stellar performance next week to bring her back into the game. I still feel Wicked Game was her best vocally.
  9. Lee Dewyze tackled Hey Jude and did a good job out there. He was interacting with the crowd, smiling, and singing it quite well. However, the bagpipes?? Really?? What was that for and was it necessary? It may be something people will talk about around the water cooler, but for me, it was a little bizarre. He's having fun out there which is a nice change.
Well that's it for the kids this week. My power rankings for the Top 9 based on last night's performance:

  • Casey James
  • Crystal Bowersox
  • Lee Dewyze
  • Katie Stevens
  • Michael Lynche
  • Tim Urban
  • Siobhan Magnus
  • Andrew Garcia
  • Aaron Kelly
This is going to be a difficult bottom 3 because there will be some newcomers to the bottom. Who will be eliminated? Man, I honestly don't know - because I feel that everyone up there has specific fans - So I am going out on a limb and saying that either Katie or Aaron will be going home. I think the save will seriously be contemplated tonight as well. We'll see.... chat tomorrow!

Results -


And Didi Benami has been asked to leave the dance. Honestly, she caved and crumbled! She is a way better artist than what she did on the show. I hope she can really tune into who she is and wants to be, cause I think she could have a chance.
Usher, Ruben, and Diddy performed.... Yes - all can go by the single name and be well known. Ruben it turns out has turned into a vegan and gotten way skinny. The song was so boring but you gotta admit that teddy bear is sure happy to be on stage. Usher was alright,,, not sure I'm liking the OMG over and over again,, Diddy I actually liked... took me back to my good old days in the late 90's..mo money mo problems is all I gotta say about that.
Well I nailed the bottom 3 again,, a thank you very much - but I think the vote for the worst campaign for Tim Urban is making him stay in the game. You know that he's not even taking the competition seriously at this point. He really doesn't want it, nor does he deserve it. We are sort of dwindling down on our really sucky people that nobody wants to see anymore... everyone left has a pretty good fan base... so I'm thinking Katie or Tim is gone this week,, and they haven't even performed yet! That's just what I'm thinking.

Stay tuned tonight for the Lennon/McCartney collection which they've already done... 2 seasons ago they spent 2 weeks on the Beatles. Chat later tomorrow!

Top 10 Perform

I thought last night's show was way better than last week, thank heavens!! Usher was a great mentor and actually gave them sound advice which I think helped a lot of the contestants.
and Where is the Danny Gokey this season? We need that fun personality and confidence from anyone...anyone?
Let's discuss:

  1. Siobhan Magnus - I still wanted her to tone it down more than she did. I want an emotionally raw performance without any yelling. For the first time I felt that she was really off key a bit, sometimes sharp. I felt bad for her as she was almost in tears at the end of the judging. I am sure this week will shake her up since she has always been praised. I liked how the cameras showed us more of the behind the scenes than we have ever seen before. It sorta showed the camaraderie (yes I had to look that up to spell it right) between the contestants.
  2. Casey James- I really like his confidence and the growl of his voice,, however, the constant smiling while singing is sorta irritating. Do you ever see Daughtry or David Cook smiling away while strumming the guitar?? No,,, ! He's gotta put some grit in his face to match the grit in his voice. Kinda get into the guitar a little bit,,, I don't know... just maybe work on really performing. I agree with Kara in that he does stay in the same range for most of his songs,,, the chorus was sorta repeat the whole time.
  3. Mike Lynche- He brought out the guitar again and sang a deep emotional song. I really liked it and generally Mike doesn't do it for me. It felt real to me and not 'cheesy' or silly. He connected to the song and had great vocal control. This was one of my favorites of the night. He felt like a true artist last night.
  4. Didi Benami- What happened to you?? She used to be one of my favorites and I just feel like she's sinking FAST. She is honestly on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and yes she is so reminiscent of Brooke White. The blonde hair, the tilted head smile when Ryan asks her a question, and the tears of emotional turmoil are just so similar. She was wearing a horrible sparkly evening gown, her hair was not happening, and I didn't feel the connection with the song. I sure hope to heck that she is able to pull it together and find better songs for next week, if she's still here.
  5. Tim Urban - Why oh Why are you here week after week?? Just GO AWAY! Stop voting for him people!! He sings with no conviction- so sick of his little eyes looking into the camera with his head tilted, the way he smiles honestly does urck me, it's so fake and put on, he will never EVER have a career in this business. I just want him GONE!
  6. Andrew Garcia- Guess who's back? Back again - Andrew's back! So, he finally lived up to the hype, 2 months later!! He took a good contemporary song- no oldies here- Forever by Chris Brown and made it super fun to listen to. He had swagger, confidence, and a smile on his face. It felt real and I really enjoyed listening to it.
  7. Katie Stevens- I still feel like she's just acting and over thinking every aspect of the performance. A true artist just makes us, the audience, feel like it is true and natural. She did have a great vocal performance, but the attitude and everything she tried to portray is so fake. She did need to pick a younger song.
  8. Lee Dewyze- He is finally performing like a star. His vocals were amazing and I really enjoyed the song arrangement. Lee does need to start owning it though, he has great chops, but it's just his personality and star quality that needs some polishing. One of my favorites of the night.
  9. Crystal Bowersox- So she has heals and can play the piano,,, hmm? Was it necessary? I don't think so, but I do like the change from the birkenstock's and flower dresses. Great song choice and I thought she did great. She'll be here for sure.
  10. Aaron Kelly - I thought to myself,, "Why tackle this infamous song?" since it was one of the shining moments from Kris Allen last year. Ain't no sunshine I think needs to be hung on the shelf and left alone. His vocals were alright, but there was no conviction on this song. Not my favorite from him. But he'll be safe.
So there we have it. My power rankings for the top 10:
  • Lee Dewyze
  • Andrew Garcia
  • Mike Lynche
  • Crystal Bowersox
  • Casey James
  • Katie Stevens
  • Siobhan Magnus
  • Aaron Kelly
  • Tim Urban
  • Didi Benami
So what happened to the girls this season? Wasn't it supposed to be a girl's year? I'll tell you what happened,,,,Lilly was kicked out way too soon. Ticks me off,,,, oh well. Bottom three will be Katie Stevens, Tim Urban, and Didi Benami..... Tim will go home!!! Can't wait to see Usher perform,,, I really do enjoy him.

Top 11 Perform

Um, last night was awful! Is this what we are really subjected to listen to for the next 2 months? Honestly... a lot of disappointments, including Miley Cyrus as the mentor??? gack.... She hasn't even had a #1 hit, and that was the theme last night. (changed from teen idols last week) Let's discuss -

  1. Lee Dewyze I thought had a lot more charisma than he has showed in week's past... maybe cause he didn't have his guitar on? Whatever it was, his voice is rockin' and is so ready for the radio...
  2. Tim Urban is on my hit list. He is so stiff, boring, and never ever gonna make it in the industry.
  3. Paige Miles,,, what the heck happened to you? You used to know who you were and sing with such confidence. This was the WORST performance by far. She is so history tonight.
  4. Aaron Kelly did a really good job, but he is always singing the power ballad. He wasn't that bad for even having laryngitis and tonsilitis.
  5. Crystal Bowersox of course was the best of the night. She is effortless, but I agree with Ellen. She does need to act like she is accepting all of the fanfare. Maybe she's a shy person,,,? but I don't think she is. I wonder if she's gonna tackle Melissa Etheride at all this season.... wait, has she already? I can't remember.
  6. Mike Lynche was just another big teddy bear ,,, err,,, Ruben Studdard,,, I know he'll go far, but he won't win.
  7. Andrew Garcia is really in need of a serious good performance. I was hoping he would give us one last night, but he sang I heard it through the Grapevine. I am not sure why so many of them chose to sing really old songs and not change anything about them. It really was a blah performance. He's in the bottom 3.
  8. Katie Stevens finally got rid of her beauty pageant-esque style of singing and wardrobe and sang some Fergie. She got into the song and for the first time I felt her. It was her best performance. I'm thinking they need to cut her hair or something.
  9. Loved Casey James last night, even with his ode to Huey Lewis. He's an awesome musician and he is just fun to watch. I wonder how he would be without the guitar though.
  10. Now this one confused me. I thought Didi Benami did really well last night. I like her voice and so what if she was changing up her character. Isn't that what performer's do? I mean Adam Lambert was someone new every single week last season. And Siobhan has been someone different too. They have given her so many different judgements the poor girl is probably second guessing every move she makes instead of just doing what she wants. I hope she figures it out cause I like her.
  11. Siobhan Magnus had a great look last night and was totally comfortable on stage. She has had 3 really powerful weeks with the big scream at the end,,, so next week I'd like to see her tone it down a bit. Her very first performance in the 24 she sang that Chris Isaak song and I fell in love with her then. I think she needs to tone it down for next week to show her vulnerable side.

So the rankings for last night's performances are as follow:

  • Crystal
  • Siobhan
  • Casey
  • Lee
  • Didi
  • Mike
  • Katie
  • Aaron

Bottom 3 are

1. Paige

2. Tim

3. Andrew

I honestly don't care which of these three go, but my guess is Paige is packing her bags!

Thursday, March 18

Results!

As was predicted, Lacey Brown has left the building. The bottom three, Tim Urban, Lacey, and Paige Miles were expected, but I still think that Paige Miles is better than what we've seen from her. It was fun to see David Cook again. I'm really not that into this Ke$ha character,,, what is she all about?? Anyone out there liking her yet? Hmmm,,, is she trying too hard? I think so, her whole performance was blah! And the Australian chic who wails on the electric guitar, Orianthi, she is AMAZING! She was the guitarist going on tour with Michael Jackson. If you haven't checked out "This is it" yet, go rent it now! She is incredible on that dvd, horrible song last night though.

Next week the theme is "Teen Idols".... so expect a lot of crappy songs from the younger ones. I hope the older contestants make the songs a little 'older' for the adults out there. Stay tuned! We could be listening to some Hannah Montana or Justin Bieber,,, oh goody,,, (accented with HEAVY sarcasm)

Top 12!!!

I have misseed three weeks of blogging! Shame on me - and shame on my computer - and shame on my constant vacationing this month. So I'm back, let's hit it. Can I just say that America totally got it wrong when they sent Lilly home last week!!?? She was unique and different and way more interesting than Katie Stevens. Katie is going to get lost in this competition, and just doesn't deserve it. I am not a fan of Aaron Kelly, he is too young and has no star presence about him at all, he sorta reminds me of that Kevin Covais (chicken little) from like 3-4 years back. I liked the Alex Lambert character, even though he was a bit shy - I think he might have broken out of his shell with more experience.

Last night's performances were a bit drab for me. Two really stood out for me and those were Siobhan's and Crystal's. Where is Adam Lambert when you need him?? Let's discuss: (and I hate to admit this, but I'm not a big fan of the Stones, I don't know why I never got on that band wagon, I don't hate them, just don't know their hits as well as a true blooded American - or Brit- should)
Big Mike Lynche: Well he wowed America and Kara last week with his rendition of "This Woman's work",,, but I am just not feeling it for this big dude. Sure, he can sing and perform, but honestly, can you see him at the Grammy's or the likes?? He performed this week "Miss you" and it was a good solid performance. He's gonna make it far in the competition because he actually has a real personality!!


Didi Benami: Just saying her name for some reason makes me smile,, say it with me now! ha. So she sang "Play with Fire" and I thought she performed better than she has in weeks. She was one of my favorites in the very beginning. She just seems like she's about to break though. Remember Brooke White? She was the same way, just an emotional wreck. I want more from her.
Casey James: First off, his hair is styled way better than it was a few weeks ago... ug,, what was up with the little girly blonde curls. He's a rocker man, not a cheap suzy dollar store doll! So he sang "It's all over now" and did a decent job. I felt he was very still, scared, and not really into the song. He smiles when he sings, which I like - a solid performance from him.

Lacey Brown: She's a pretty girl, has some decent talent, but I'm not feeling this at all. I used to like her, but she is sleepy to me. Meaning, no pizzaz, spaz, or raz-a-ma-tazz! She sang "Ruby Tuesday" and had on a crazy concoction of stripes, lace, and a little some'in some'in that wasn't working for me. Her hair is cool though. I can totally see her singing some Cranberries,,, I'm thinking she's hitting the road tonight.
Andrew Garcia: Well he's just about done on this show. I just am so sick of hearing the judges talking about his hollywood week performance of Straight up! Maybe he's just not all that good if he pulled out his best song ever about 5 weeks ago! Grr,, anyways, tonight he performed but it wasn't the right song for him, it just didn't fit at all. "Gimme Shelter" is not suited for his voice type.

Katie Stevens: I used to like this little girl, but she is a balladeer, and that's it! This song, "Wild Horses" fit her just fine and it was probably her best performance thus far, but she's just a plain old regular girl next door with no star quality.


Tim Urban: Well that sure was a crazy arrangement Mr. Urban. The only reason he made it to Top 12 is this, and only this - crazy teenage girls think he's cute. Man oh man, let's hope he's gone soon or, let's hope he MAJORLY steps it up. "Under My Thumb" should have been "Under my foot"! Siobhan Magnus: Finally!! Someone with some drama, performance, and guts! She took the song "Paint it Black" and really went out there to win it tonight. She was not sheepish at all and really just is herself people! I was waiting all night for a performance with a little umph, and she gave it to me. Most fun to watch of the night. And, I like that she's weird!


Lee Dewyze: Here's another name I like to say for some reason... So hey, I really like his voice, it's a total radio voice, but as Simon said - he is lacking in the personality department. America likes to become attached and connected to their idols, right? So he needs to really work on that. He sang "Beast of Burden" and I thought he did a really good job. I like him, just want him to smile a bit more, joke around, etc.


Paige Miles: Finally that big old voice is back! She does have a great vocal prowess and I think her eyes are pretty. I can't wait to hear her sing a different theme in the upcoming weeks! She sang "Honky Tonk Woman" which was a weird song. I've never even heard it before. Hey, laryngitis, go away!

Aaron Kelly: The judges gushed over this pre-pubescent kid and I just did not get it. His version of "Angie" was so boring!! I don't know what else to say, so I won't!

Crystal Bowersox: I always look forward to her performances, so that must mean she is one of my favorites! She sang "Can't always Get What You Want" and did a good job interpreting the lyrics and meaning of the song. She is going to make it far in this season!


So, here are my rankings of last night's performances.

  1. Siobhan Magnus
  2. Crystal Bowersox
  3. Didi Benami
  4. Casey James
  5. Paige Miles
  6. Lee Dewyze
  7. Mike Lynche
  8. Andrew Garcia
  9. Katie Stevens
  10. Aaron Kelly
  11. Lacey Brown
  12. Tim Urban
We'll see who gets the boot tonight!

Top 24!!


I missed last week's blog posts and this week's will be weak. You see, I'm on vacation - and although I watched the three shows this week, I just can't sit down and indulge all you faithful readers (3!!!) with my latest Idol thoughts. Here are some of the highlights however..... I thought it was absolutely ridiculous they sent that Black Country girl through and denied for the THIRD TIME the black girl with the daughter with disabilities. And to pour salt onto the wound, Kara tried to be all "sorry, you're good,but" while she took her seat and made the contestant sit on the armrest. That was a bunch of crap!! Boo! I think that was my only surprise on the 24. Simon even said that country girl was annoying and it has been proven with her performance of "I want to hold your hand" this week. "You were like a wind up toy"... my thoughts exactly. I am not digging her at all.

The first go around of the performances were just alright... but if you look back over the years, generally the first Live performances are shaky and just not that entertaining... You've got to weed out the ones with NO confidence, and the ones then, who truly want to be the Idol begin to emerge with gusto as they gain experience and comfort on the stage. The competition actually shows and the ones with the fight move forward. As for those kicked off last night,,,

I was disappointed with the two girls who left and also felt that that kid they brought back to fill the boy spot should have gone. His version of "apologize" was just plain awful. The girls were nervous, and wrong song choices as usual. Janell Wheeler was better and I have no clue why she didn't use her guitar...? Duh! The other girl,,, Rodriguez?, I was a little surprised she got the boot. Now Tyler Grady, the kick back to the 70's, yes he was weird, but was he the Sanjaya factor that will be missing this season? The one who we look forward to see how they will do on the stage. What they will wear? What will they sing? What will the dance like? You never know,,,

I really liked that Siobhan girl, sang the Chris Isaak song "I wanna fall in love"... i thought she had great control of breathing and phrasing. She stood out for me. And the chick with the white hair was different and confident.

So, we've got 10 and 10...next week, more thoughts will be posted, and perhaps a little live bloggin!

Hollywood Week

I had the WORST catastrophe last night. All the kids were settled in for a long winter's nap. I then ran downstairs to sit down on my couch to watch my show. Well, I grabbed my little remote to go to menu on the DVR and found American Idol. I clicked 'select' and nothing happened!! The DVR did not record the episode I have been waiting for all season!!! It was like a horrible horrible joke someone was playing on me. Our DVR has never done anything this ridiculous and of course, it happened on the ONE show I've been wanting to watch....... grrrr

Luckily a blog I read about Idol had videos posted and a description of all the action. Phew... so I watched last night's show on my laptop, didn't catch everything, but it's better than nothing. I'll be checking tonight's episode the minute it starts to see if the DVR works this time.

So onto the talent. Now this is the first season that they filmed Hollywood week this late in the season. The filmed it within the last month, so there was no time to push the people who would really be good in the audition episodes. Case in point - the 'good' singers they focused on with their back story's and what not, disappointed the judges during the first round of Hollywood auditions. The country girl with the horrible accent - GONE, the missionary who survived cancer - GONE, (and he even made it to group rounds in season 8) the 16 year old with the down syndrome brother's, - GONE!! for a few examples. The ding bat Skiboskii is thankfully gone. I don't know why they even sent him to Hollywoood. Oh, and the splits pants guy..
  • Loved Andrew Garcia! He sang Straight Up - Paula Abdul, with a guitar! I liked his 'musicality' (word used frequently by the judges,,, is that a real word?)
  • Loved Janell Wheeler who strapped on that guitar and sang very well. She's cute too.
  • Haley Vaughn (African American Country girl) - not a fan, but they'll push it because she's different.
  • Mary Powers the rocker mom, again, not a huge fan.
  • Lilly Scott - who we didn't see audition, finally gets to wow us during this episode. She sang Ella Fitzgerald's "Lullaby of Birdland" and did a really good job. I was impressed.
  • Miky Lynche- big body builder who's wife went into labor right before he sang - meh,, still did not like his voice or style. His higher notes were squeezed if felt like to me.
  • Casey James- the poor sucka who had to take his shirt off during his audition, is REALLY good. He has a soulful raspy thing going on and he wailed on the guitar. The auditioners were all into his performance too. Much better audition than his original one.
  • Didi Behnami - this girl I liked during the auditions, a lot.... and I still REALLY like her. She can sing man! She went with 'Terrified' which was written by Kara, not a bad song, Katherine McPhee is singing it now.
  • Crystal Bowersox with the dreds and majorly yellow teeth, sang 'Natural Woman' with the guitar and man she has it. Very good stage presence, got the crowd in it, and the judges were impressed. I like her.

It seemed we have a lot more girls this year that they are focusing on, since Randy says a girl will win this season.... hmmm. But if they are doing the same format this year as previous,, Top 6 boys and 6 girls will comprise the 12 on the big stage, then it's up to the voters. Tonight is the Group rounds, which I really really hate..... American Idol is not about singing in a group, it is a solo act, so they shouldn't stick people in with a bunch of fools who have totally different singing styles. Just my opinion. And did we like Ellen? I like that she adds humor after something serious, it lightens up the room a bit. I think she is not going to take any of Simon's B.S. like Paula did. I like her already....

Best of the Rest

Finally, the last show of auditions. They sort of went through a montage of good and bad from all the cities. So here goes:

  • We had a girl sing a simon cowell song.. I didn't know he actually wrote music? So she's better than last year, has spruced up her look, and you gotta give her props for trying out again.
  • Then the annoying actress girl... she is an ok singer, but she might get on my nerves!
  • The last year girl who sat next to megan Joy in the top 50... she sang somewhere over the rainbow.. i liked her phrasing. She seems like she wants this!
  • That tall dude with the girl voice? What was that? I've never seen anything like that. He's gotta have some sort of genetic disorder.
  • The muscle guy is not all that, but they sent him through.
  • I really REALLY liked the girl who sang for her friend who died 4 years ago. She sang Hey Jude, and she nailed it. I was impressed.
  • Then the other poor boy adopted by his aunt, sang "The Climb" a little countryfied,, he'll be a cutey with all the teen girls.
  • Then there was the girl who was born to sing, but could not find the notes in the Alicia Keys song. I bet the judges are so dang sick of that song.
  • Then the girl who didn't know her family was poor and missed dinners,, I thought she was beautiful. She could be a model if this doesn't work out. Huge smile, and she can sing. I liked her a little.

So here we go folks. Next week. It. is. down. to. business! I can't wait.

Denver Auditions

I am sooo sick of auditions weeks!!! Thank heavens we start Hollywood week next week and get to see Ellen as the new judge. This should be an interesting upcoming week for sure. Let's see if I can remember any thoughts on the shows this week.
  • I thought the black girl who sang country was interesting. They might be pushing her for her 'different' style.
  • The Jack Black look alike guy I felt so bad for. Simon kept drilling him on his back story of being kidnapped by his mom etc. Enough I just kept saying. He sang pretty good.
  • Then Simon making fun of someone's laugh.,,, sometimes he is a jerk!
  • The girl who does karaoke and had a daughter.. she sang melissa Etheridge, and it's a raspy powerful voice.
  • Then the blonde guy goes up, has to take his hair out of his pony tail, then unbutton his shirt, then take it off.. COME ON... way to humiliate someone in front of America. I hate that they do that to people. He was alright.
  • Oh gosh, the football player. Give me a break. So not good, so not good looking, and ug. He needs to be gone.
  • Then the helium girl was a little weird. Her voice was soo high, and then she sang, I was not blown away, but they send her through.
  • Then we had bikini boy. Please don't give him his 5 minutes of fame. Please!

The next night we have the best of the rest.. whatever that means.
