Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

AI: I'm surprised that they liked Brooke. She was way too happy while singing ''You're So Vain''. That song need some venom.

Because books.

Me, too, sj! It's not a bouncy, grinning from ear to ear song.

I'm sorry, Amy. I really wanted to like her tonight, but it didn't do anything for me at all.

So far tonight, I like Brooke best. The Carly Simon song was very good for her and playing her own guitar really worked for her.

Brooke is way too Up With People for me. All the swirly-girly-hair swooshing last week made me roll my eyes.

I still love my girl Ramiele, but she felt way too mannered tonight.

Amanda looks better with the softer makeup, less like she'd cut a bitch for giving her the wrong judgment, but everything about that performance? Was just wrong.

I also find Kristy's vocals mediocre at best and her squats and wide-legged stances, to borrow a Simon phrase, "ghastly."

But a lot of my opinions are different from the judges' this year, for some reason.

I think Ramielle has actually got one of the better voices out there, she just needs to find the right songs.

Dude, Alaina is also butchering "Hopelessly Devoted to You." Girls, stop wrecking songs I like!


Monique - Feb 27, 2008 4:03:29 pm PST #3552 of 23273

Seriously: Can anyone really prove that Kristy, Alaina and Kady actually are different people?

I know! I wouldn't know which one was which if they didn't put their names up on the screen.

I am watching AI! And - they are not good. I missed the first one or two - but what is with all the matchy blonde bluesy-country belters? Also, the mix is really weird. Sometimes the backup singers are louder than the main person.
