So is Lee DeWyze the new pocket idol? How come people don't constantly say, "He's so short!" (Well, I think I know why.)

I don't know who's going home. I'm going to take a wild guess and say, Lee, for the shock boot. (Don't blame me if you lose the pool!)

Looks like MJ liked Casey's Mrs. Robinson as much as I did. :p Nya-nya.

Lyndsey Parker linked to Kris's FS and said it was better version. (Yay!)

Okay, I watched the show earlier than I thought I would and caught up towards the end and with you here!

First, the judges are full of s**t. We're all aware that they had that crappy list to choose from. No, Simon, they didn't have thousand of choices. I thought they actually made the best out of that list. Nobody was going to come out and sing Flashdance, right?

Lee: I liked it. I didn't think he was any worse than other times when the judges pimped him to the heavens, so whatever.

Mike: I loved that song as a kid (and Free Willy too!). Mike was meh. It was too low or something, it didn't really build even with the back-up singers coming down the stairs.

Lee-Crystal: I started watching and I was like NO! Then it got to the louder part and I started to like it (ross, for me Kris does that song really closer to the movie version than what Lee and Crystal did, they kind of did a rock version of that song or something). I had to rewind it to watch again, and while Kris's version is so so much better, I liked Lee and Crystal, especially the end.

Casey: I see the hair fluffer got her job back tonight. And the goat was out in full force. I disliked that very much. Sorry. Casey will never get any love from me.

Crystal: I liked it okay. I wouldn't buy that though.

Mike-Casey: It was okay.

It's hard to tell who will be going home. I don't think it's going to be Lee though. I'd still say it's between Mike and Casey.

I want Lee to win. There I said it. I know Crystal is probably the most deserving one, but Lee is the only one I would consider buying music from.

It's funny. I'm catching up on my twitter timeline and I see others had the exact same reaction as me regarding Lee and Crystal's duet.

It's like Nooooooooooooooo, not Falling Slowly.

Then a minute later, it's like, oh well, I didn't want to say I liked this but I really liked it.

I liked their version of FS, but I wanted them to pick a song that wasn't sung last year. (and turn and face the audience) other than that it was good.

The duets were solid this year.

For me, it wasn't a question of not wanting to say I liked it. I wanted to say I liked it. I just didn't.

You're right, Kris's version had a lot on common with the movie version. I guess it just wasn't a duet so this version reminded me of the movie more for that reason.

MJ said this about Casey's Mrs. Robinson:
"He totally re-arranged it and it’s AWESOME!!! Wow. Casey pulled it out when he needed it. That was terrific. Randy wants to know why he picked the song. Oh No. Here we go again. MORE KARA JOKES. CRITIQUE HIS VOCALS PLEASE. "

I felt the same way. Also, I was appalled at the joking. It was a lot like when Simon interrupted Paula when she was saying something complementary about Kris. Now he interrupted Kara.

I didn't love the song choice from Casey, but I thought he had good connection. I do wish he'd have stayed out of the pit though.. that is just never a good choice.

But yes, I hate the judges crap too.
