Somebody, please give this girl a clothes makeover. Please, my eyes!
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

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.

I think their sound people suck. They need to get some professionals.
It wouldn't hurt,either, if the girls would quit picking songs that require having a lower end of the scale to sing with than what they have.

Now, I didn't "get" Carly until tonight's performance. I gave her extra props because you have to have some balls, IMO, to take on Ann Wilson.
This? Would be a balls-free performance. Just saying.
On the plus side? Even more likely we'll have one fewer interchangeable blond next week!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
AI: I'm surprised that they liked Brooke. She was way too happy while singing ''You're So Vain''. That song need some venom.
Yes, thank you. It felt mimicked. Brooke really rubs me the wrong way anyway, and just doing a "karaoke" version of the song bugs.

Another thing I noticed in a lot of the choices was the songs were at the very low end of the singers' ranges. There was a lot of struggling to hit the low notes.

Because books.
I felt like I was on a car trip with my parents through the whole show, AM radio turned up high.
The girls were pretty uniformly disappointing tonight.

Art Crawl!!!
Chris - you grossed Tim out - DON'T do that!
I'm a bit worried that Jillian and Rami have things inspired too closely. . . it's the armor/jacket thing I'm worried about. Of course, if Rami doesn't make it to fashion week it won't be an issue.

I think Chris's line might actually be a hot tranny mess. When Christian said that last week I thought it was a nonsense line but now...

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
sumi! I thought the exact same thing when we first saw Rami's work! They designed the same collections!
I'm really worried about Chris and the hair.
