Simon is such an asshole.

Here we goooooooooo............

Todrick Hall.

Remember how I always say when Kris sang MITM for the first time, his sense of rhythm stood out, it was amazing? Well, this is the opposite. Bad feeling for the rythm of the song. And singing? Meh.

OMG, Randy is making sense again. Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

I don't like this guy much as a singer or as a so-called "performer." Aren't there some drama kids he could be ripping off right now?

I know right, I hate myself, I agreed with Randy!!! Todrick changed it up way too much and it just didn't sound enjoyable. Also, I dislike Todrick Hall on principle, because of his past as a scamer (is that a word?).

LOL at Andrew getting the pimp spot. If something was predictable about tonight, that was it!

Yeah, but it has two "m"s.

Aaron Kelly. They obviously really want him around, because they're pimping him even though he was extremely meh. Is his voice that great or am I missing something? Hard to say how nervous he was -- kind of the Matt Giraud effect.

Guess they need to "cast" a 16 year old country singer.

Aaron is certainly an adorable little thing. I'll never be a fan, but the guy has talent. He's really Archie #2 for me, if Archie was doing country. Aaron seems less awkward than Archie though, which is a good thing.

ETA: I don't think Aaron is an amazing singer, but I didn't think he was bad at all. Just seemed nervous.

Jermaine Sellers. He seems to have a personality. Seems genuine.

Owwww, my ears hurt.

Please, make it stop.

It's over. Wow. That was the definition of "a smattering of applause."

I don't understand why "You've totally blown your opportunity" (Simon) and "I think people will vote for you, I think you'll be back." (Ellen) is considered judging. It's just de-pimping/pimping. At least on CI they're somewhat subtle. Also, they're cancelled.
Oh, well.

Ack. I hate Jermaine's singing. Like HATE. Bye Jermaine. HATE.

"Who's Michael?" Stupid.

Funny that Simon thought that Jermaine was screamy, while he never said that to Adam. They sound a bit similar on some notes.

Adam screams more on key, I guess. Speaking of season 8, Kris commercial!! Yay. And a different section of Alright With Me ("Knockin' on your door, baby, baby please").

Listening to these guys tonight, it's ridiculous to me that people actually suggest Kris has an average voice, or that he can't sing well. Or he's not a strong performer??? Right.

Tim Urban. Apologize.

What I just said about Kris? Even more applicable here!

Are we watching New Zealand Idol? This is awful.

Why is he "current"? What's current? This dude? I dislike his personality a lot. He seems so fake.

I thought Tim was likeable and was almost ready to give him a pass for his butchering of Come Back To Me in Hollywood... until he got to the chorus. Ouch, that was not good. I think teenage girls might think he's really cute though... and he almost cried.

I think they said current because he did a current song... contrary to Jermaine, let's say.

You know, I have things to do. If these singers don't get better, I can't waste my time like this.

And now... Jorge Nunez.

I mean, Joe Munoz. He has some charisma. He has a voice kind of like Anoop's. I mean, good-sounding but not really able to hit the notes like a pro. It sounds less than great to my ears. But he's better than the others were. And he does have a sense of rhythm.

What's this guy's name? Tyler. I don't even care. This show tonight is like people faking singing, instead of people singing. This guy has no voice. He is no Mookie Morris. Ha. I wish.

No, that was me. I almost cried.

You know how I love Jason Mraz, right? And Mraz is a GREAT singer. Joe was just okay. Kinda cheesy. He wasn't terrible though. Greg Neufeld still owns that song on Idol for me.

Tyler is an interesting character, but he's not a great singer. I have a problem with the judges (what's new?). They liked him for his 70s still previously and Kara told him to bring his "moves" to the top 24. What did they expect him to do?

Lee is coming up, I'm nervous!

Lee Dewyze...

At last, someone is singing a song I actually like.

Not too good, though. Pitchy, dog. He didn't do anything with it. Nice tone in parts. But kind of a mess.

Question...why does Simon have to go back two years to give an example of a singer who can change up a song and make it his own, when there was one last year?

Yeah, I didn't think he was great, but I just love his tone. LOVE! And Randy should listen to Lee's music, cause he's certainly not a hard rocker. And wow, he got an endorsement from Simon! I actually expected Simon to tell him he had no star potential (which, whatever), but he likes him.

Because I like him, I'm willing to say his off-keyness was because of nerves, lol. And I kinda want to give him a hug, him and his big blue eyes. Not that I think he's that cute, but I like his sensitive eyes, lol!

About Simon, I think it's because he thinks Lee is more similar to David I guess.

Yeah, I know, but he did the same thing in his conference call. Oh, well.

John Park. Not a great voice. Runs are ill-advised, especially when you can't do them.

I can't see any of these guys so far becoming the Idol, performing on their own tour, whatever. Maybe Lee, if he usually sings better than what I just heard. And he probably does. He has personality. But there's not that much original about him, really.

Michael Lynche. Why does he have a guitar? He's not playing it. It looks stupid!
I don't really love his kind of voice, but not bad.

Of course, they want this guy in the competition, since he's a character. They haven't talked too much about his singing.

I think it's still early to really judge. David's first two performances in the semis were so-so, but then Hello happened on top 16 week. I'm willing to let some of them some time (some I just want gone right now!). Lots of nerves in the first week, understandably.

John has a winning personality and I would totally get along with him in real life, but dude, that song! I think I fell asleep!

I think I zoned out while Michael was singing. He was okay I guess.
