Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Erin Willett did, unless you mean annoying Erin?

Because books.

I loved "I Want You Back" but that song is pretty hard to resist.

Why did you not like Tony, Lee?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Something about Tony started rubbing me the wrong way in the last few weeks. Like he has a smarmy side or something. I can't put my finger on it, but he seems like a giant asshole to me.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

For me, Tony gave off huge asshole vibes from the jump and he did the whole "I was too real to sell out and cash in on my post MMC fame by doing disposable pop so I just soldiered on me and my guitar and my babies and my cred" thing and I hate that thing so, so much. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I bet Christina cries over her lack of cred every night before going to bed on her piles and piles of money. Whatever. I also just didn't find him to be very original or memorable. I can't even really remember what he sang this season other than the Brittany cover (which has been done to death and better by other artists and has also been done on other reality shows so his just came off as a complete copycat and it wasn't even his idea, it was Adam's) and the 99 Problems cover (which I learned was also not an original arrangement - he stole that one, too. Damn!) He has a fine voice, but he didn't seem like a star to me.

Still wish Juliet had won, but I'm happy for Jermaine and I hope this gives him the boost to make a go of it as a front man.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Erin Willett did, unless you mean annoying Erin

Yep, I meant the other Erin, not Willett.

Tony rubbed me the wrong way, for reasons I can't quite pinpoint. He just seemed like a bit of an ass, and the other people didn't.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Let me give you an example: all the other final 4 seemed quite generous in having 3 or so other people up there singing with them in their "final song." Tony only had one person? ONE?

What's that about?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh, and all the others had other contestants saying: "I love you like a brother", "we are siblings from another mother", shit like that.

Not one of them said this about Tony.

Because books.

I don't pay a lot of attention, except when they're actually performing, so I missed a lot of that, I guess. I did notice that Christina seemed to hate him.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

So, so much. The Christina hate was a gorgeous thing this season. She simply would not let it go and never let an opportunity pass to get in a dig at Tony. They both were so petty about the whole thing all season, but I adore her and I am so cool on all things Tony Lucca, so I was Team X-Tina all the way.

Yep, I meant the other Erin, not Willett.

Is that the one that was on Team Cee Lo? I think she's the one who made a lot of comments, after she was voted off, blaming him for being a bad coach and being the reason she lost.

ETA: I was a big Tony fan before the show. Now, not so much. The Britney cover was funny but things devolved from there and I kinda despise all three of them (Adam, Tony, Christina) now.
