That's one of the new shows that I didn't tape last night.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I thought that was one of Chris's better performances. The style of song suits his voice much more than a lot of the stuff they've had them singing.

Why does Lakisha keep singing former idol's songs? That never goes well.

You think by now, she'd have learned. Honestly, I like her voice better than Melinda's, but I think Melinda is smarter about her song choices and has a better interpretation of the emotions behind a song.

Also Bono was the coach but then they don't show clips of him coaching them? That's kind of a rip off but I guess they had to push the Idol cares thing. But I don't care about what the contestants think about...well...anything...I want to see what Bono thinks of them!

Chris started out weak for me. he didn't seem like he was on-key. the middle and the end made up for it though.
Melinda - *yawn* though the hair looks a million times better like this.
Blake continues to pull my strings. i loved it. though Simon's point stands about it being flat in that there was no crescendo or anything. it is the song though and he sang it from the heart.
Lakisha thinks she IS the American Idol this year. that's why she keeps picking past Idol songs. she irritates the crap outta me.
I think Phil is an absolutely wonderful guy, but i've been very bored with him for weeks now.

Well, Simon actually offered constructive criticism. And was even polite! I think I need to go lay down, I'm obviously feverish.

oh and i totally agree about Bono, askye. i'd really like to see what kind of constructive criticism he offered up(and was probably promptly ignored by some of the contestants).

Just tuned in. I liked Phil at first but he's just so fucking cheesy.
I think you're right on about Lakisha. They lauded her so much early on that it's affecting her song/performance choices.
