I liked Jim's recap! He's really hitting his stride now. He's funnier when he doesn't try so hard.

I'm a Kristard of course but I can't help but think Jim's association with Kris somehow changed his style a bit. He's slightly more laid back and slightly less cheap shot/nasty in his humor now. Corny as it sounds I honestly think Kris has a positive effect on a lot of people and situations he comes in contact with. I mean I think I've seen this happen.

Funny I always thought the mod was a guy. Don't know why.

Heh, could be - I actually hesitated before saying she. The exasperation is starting to sound motherly to me, lol

Kris collects people, I've noticed this happening too. Not in an idolizing way, but in a warm welcoming kind of way.

So Cale is preparing to melt faces off in Detroit. Are they in Detroit? Should I know this as a fan?

Testing, testing, testing posting.

Fantastia has always kind of bored me to be honest. I loved Summertime. But, otherwise she's very meh to me.

I can post now.

That Billboard news about Kris is great. I was shocked (I don't know why) when some of the the usual crowd posted stuff on MJ's like, "That's not very impressive. Carrie had a #1 hit on country. And Jordin had blah-blah-blah. And their albums sold better." Ha. Sad.

Congrats Habs!

Kris and I are in agreement (about C James). But, you know, Kris does not exactly watch this show religiously. If he even saw Casey's big band fiasco, I wonder what he thought? I like Casey mainly because he's (except for the aforementioned debacle) consistent. He performs pretty well each week. Uninspired though he is. He seems ready to handle a recording career. His voice, though not exceptional, is good, and he doesn't screw up songs. (Touring? He needs work). Plus, as a person, I like him.

I'm not exactly a Casey tard, but I've heard garbage disposals with forks stuck in them that sound better than some of Lee's notes. I haven't listened to Lee's studio recordings or albums, mainly because he has never interested me. (I haven't listened to any of the others, either.) But I think on this show you should be judged by what you can do on the show. Sorry, I'd like to like him (or anyone), I don't have hatred (like Tim hatred) for him, but... And he needs to stfu since whenever he talks I simply think, "Gokey." And if the guy needs to get a tattoo in the middle of competing on American Idol, I don't know. That's just weird. Like, it's got to hurt. (I know, I know, that has nothing to do with anything.)

Crystal is no longer interesting me much. I guess she's used her bag of tricks. Unlike, say, Kris Allen, but more like, say, Adam Lambert or Danny Gokey, I think she's peaked too soon. If Kris did one smart thing above all else last year, it was not to play all the cards in his hand at once. I know Crystal has played piano, done some different arrangements (that the judges hated but I loved), etc., but unlike Kris's act, which seemed so clean and sharp, hers seems somehow to have all run together in my mind in a kind of feathery, lacey mess, like trying to remember the places you and your friends went after smoking a bong on a rainy day back in the nineties sometime. There is not the clarity and definition of Kris, none of the sharply focused, defining moments. I remember tuning in during season 7, David Cook was singing Eleanor Rigby. I nearly fell over, it was so epic. I don't expect epic from Crystal, but I need big moments, and brilliance, and she hasn't done that for a while.

Now, I know you'll say, "But Casey has had no big moments or brilliance." True.

What a season, huh?
