Also, we'll be able to compare three of the contestants directly to Kris because they're singing songs that he's already sung.

Oh, yeah -- will I vote for Timmy?? lol

My honest feeling about this (I continue to say it, and I told you so) Tim is the luckiest bastard on earth. I can always tell that type. He was about to be eliminated this week. Now, thanks to the Adam-mentor thing, he probably won't be!

Actually, I don't get, really, how voting for Tim gets back at Idol for having Adam as a mentor.

Did you guys know that on tour the idols are paid according to their ranking? Or so I've heard. Do people really want to take money and opportunities away from some worthier contestants in order to vote for Tim? I can't do that to the people who are more talented.

I literally can't watch this without thinking, "Oh, no, Adam is going to be the mentor next week." Do you have any idea of the pimpage? And I doubt I'll ever be able to read MJ's blog again. It will be like: "I feel Adam was a better mentor than Billy Joel/Elton John/Barbra Streisand/insert living legend here.

Aaron is mediocre at best, as usual. This kid just does ballads, huh? He's so ****ing boring, seriously.

Aaron was a big pile of meh, as usual. Especially compared to Theo's amazing emotional version.

I didn't give deep thoughts to the "vote for Timmy" efforts. I mainly think it's funny! If I cared a lot about a contestant, I wouldn't find it funny, probably, but since I don't really care, well, it's funny, heh.

Lennon/McCartney. Seriously, if these Idols who are guitar driven folk if ever there was an Idol season that was full of guitar driven folk can't sing these songs well then I'm handing them all over to Adam with my blessing. He can sprinkle glitter on them and work some damn magic.

Yeah, I wouldn't vote for Tim either. I agree Ross. I'd only vote for someone who motivated me to vote for them because of their talent.

Aaron was singing muzak of the elevator variety.

Katie still annoys me, but that wasn't bad at all. Nice vocal tone, I'd like more connection, but beggers can't be choosers at this point.

Oh, it's "All you have to do is talk" ad!! Love it!

Katie didn't suck. Not sure she deserved all the pimpage from the judges though.

I like those intro packages that they're doing. Filler, but at least, it's cute.

I thought it was funny, too. But seeing as I have the option of voting for him, I actually gave it some thought! In fact I talked myself out of it. :)

Well, that conversion didn't take long. :roll:

Yeah, you're right! Maybe if I had the option to vote, I would have thought about it more!

What did you think of Katie, ross?

I didn't like Andrew. In the words of Randy, it didn't work for me (for you, for me).

Hi Risus! It's cool that you're live-posting with us tonight!

I like Andrew a lot. I can see a lot in him. I just wish he understood this show better, and how to showcase himself. He should have sung something like I Will, Julia, or Martha My Dear.

ETA: I liked how Katie sounded (I was listening from the kitchen). Like Simon, I thought it was a country-ish arrangement (I'm kind of shocked the others didn't hear that). I think her voice sounded better than usual (but I don't especially like that kind of singing). She wasn't as great as they said, though.

They kind of need something, don't they? LOL

Yeah, I know. I still don't want him to mentor, but seriously if they don't get better there's just no hope for them. It's so brutal.

Andrew.. I so didn't get that. Get back on the stage, face the judges.

Eleanor Rigby... *sigh* can David come back? This is not good. Not good, not good.

Mike.

I think a song grabs you right away, usually, or it doesn't. So even though he's still singing, I can say: this sucks.
