Me, three. I have no love whatsoever for David.
And see, I think Carly's got great charisma. She's friendly and engaging and really open.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

The charisma thing is likely what it all comes down to for me with Carly. That and I feel like she almost wants it too much.
I do, however, "get" her more than I get whatever it is that's kept Amanda there.

Fast forwarded through David Cook after 10 seconds. Brooke did a nice job of "Let It Be" but it's iconic, you just don't do it until you're already a huge star. And she's really got a country voice. It wasn't bad for this song, but there are other songs out there that would show her voice off better.

Really, Kristy? Seriously?

Randy said it for me about David. Too much going on. His voice, which is actually fairly good, got lost in all the bouncing around. Which is funny, because Chikezie did the same thing, yet it worked for him!

That was weird, with Kristy. It could have been cute, but the band played way too fast for her, and it all sounded off. Strange.

Amanda should have tried out for the lead singer of INXS. Seriously, she's wasted on this show. They want pop with a bit of grit. This girl is hard fucking rock. She needs a band behind her, a huge stage to prowl and a stadium rocking out to it all.

OMG, I had to fast forward through Kristy. Sparkly? I don't think so.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
This about David H "I find him totally forgettable every week" is totally true and I think it's because he is a black hole of anti-charisma. But his voice is really beautiful just as an instrument detached from the total boring package that is David H.
I can't even speak on the abomination that was Kristy Lee Cook. I am weeping for Alexandrea.
Amanda Overmyer – You Can’t Do That
OK, she looks like a crazy woman. The skunkiness is a little bit better tonight. And she looks happier to be here. This is a lot of fun. Now I’m remembering why I used to like her. She can really sing. Nice bluesy funk. That kicked some serious ass. Good for her. Loved it! Tired of the inter-judge bickering already.
Michael Johns – Across the Universe
What is cute about him? I just don’t get it. Noooo. I wanted someone I like to sing this song, not this fool. Oh, well. Don’t fuck it up. He sounds amazing. He is in fine voice tonight, thank heaven. I think it might just because I flove this song, too. Well, I liked him more tonight than I’ve ever liked him before. But I still don’t like him. Huh, I agreed with Paula. That almost never happens.
Kristy Lee Cook – 8 Days a Week
Hate. Pre-hate. I want my Alexandrea, dammit! Oh, god. Countrified Eight Days a Week? I just can’t. There. Are. No. Words. All the dead Beatles should crawl out of their graves, run over to Sir Paul’s ex- home and grab one of Heather's plastic legs and beat her to death with it. You suck. Go home now. When even Paula turns against you, you are sunk. Of course, the judges have ensured that she will stay for another week.

::sits with Sail::
The one thing I hate about this show now is the stupid bickering and antics with Simon. Shut UP already. I'm so very over him. I mean, Paula and her ridiculous incoherence is bad enough, but Simon is like a belligerent ten-year-old who doesn't know when to shut his mouth or back off and just BE POLITE.
