I got home from my seder, rewound the tape, & sat down to watch.

Fantasia's ending yeah yeah yeahs need to be pointed out by the judges. Are they deaf? Her smile, squinting eyes, and gestures remind me so much of Diana Ross, and she has the same diva attitude.

Jasmine is poised and cute. For seventeen, she's good. I agreed with Paula's comments about not going for power all the time. Jasmine was good except for the two times she tried to sing & hold the word "me" & came up totally flat.

Jon Peterless hits the high notes well but is awful in the rest.

When John Stevens said he was doing Croc Rock I burst out laughing. During the performance I couldn't even laugh. It was painful. I bet at least 80% of his votes are from his home town. I think the show should display maps on the results episodes so we can see where each performer gets most of his/her votes.
Count your lucky stars for your classmates, John.

Camile was terrible. She may be John Stevens's best hope.

George was good (as always) but his moves are annoying. Was he singing "Take me to the toilet" in the chorus?

LaToya was good, but I agree with Simon. Nothing to gush over.

Diana was fair. Her body was not moving like it needed to, but in fairness, she was sick.

Jennifer was great. I still think her performance of Imagine was better, but this had a similar feel, & her eyes bulged less this time for those of you who mind that. Funny how many episodes have the best performance last, like the producers know. Good for Elton for praising her voice. I think Jennifer does much better with these slower songs, & I'm just relieved Simon didn't call her too Broadway.

BTW, Amy Adams is still cuter & more entertaining from the audience than half these bozos. She was screwed just like Lisa L.

The bottom three should be Camile, John, & Jon. I think the bottom three will be Camile, John, and Diana.

Are you deaf now? Don't say I didn't warn you!

My mom refused to watch John because she felt so bad for him and a lot of the others. Really, he will forever be known as the red headed kid who attempted to sing Crocodile Rock (did we not predict this earlier today??)

I think Jasmine oversings in some of her songs. She was indeed totally flat on the "me's." I'm surprised no one said anything about that.

I really thought they would say Jennifer was too broadway. As soon as I heard Circle of Life, I had to hold my breath for a moment. She took a big risk but I think and hope it will have paid off for her.

Yes, I agree on the Amy assessment. She deserves to still be up there and EVERYONE, including those that should have been voted off, know it. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out tomorrow night. John Peterless will not be in the bottom three and he should be.

What did you think of Diana tonight? Hasn't she been one of your favorites?
I can do without the high-fiving and the "C'mon!" and "Hey, Girl" comments. I think they're lame attempts to connect with the audience in response to Simon's comments.

Diana has been one of my favorites, yes. I didn't feel that tonight was her best performance but I think it was a good song choice for her. She looked a little sluggish and I noticed right away when she was walking around that she was losing breath as she was singing. Then Paula made a comment about her being sick so I gave her some slack. Wasn't my favorite Diana performance and it wasn't my favorite performance of the night. Despite his "horse riding" or whatever the eff' that was, I have to hand it to George...he was on tonight.

How was seder?

More amusing than AI.
One of the old bubbes got snockered and burst out laughing uncontrollably while she was trying to read aloud. The old bubbe sitting between us was so hard of hearing she had no idea what was going on and kept refilling the first bubbe's wine glass. Gotta love that Manischewitz.

Isn't that supposed to be very serious? And she was getting ****faced? You're right. Better than AI

Thirty years; one unnecessary, painful, and unwanted operation; and a heap of makeup.

You could be the male version. Save your money for other things like the hair transplant you might need at that time

Oye...heap of makeup...yikes. I have a picture in my mind...it's very clear. Is this woman a relative? If so, I think there's one in every family

In all fairness, I prefer Jon to Camile, but that's just me.

- Jake

I don't care for Camile either. The way she sang the 'aahs' in Yellow Brick Road it sounded like she had something stuck in her throat or something. It was so annoying!

One of these weeks her attitude is going to backfire on her. A fine line between confident & cocky.

It was just plain horrible. I'm sick of her gestures too, she's trying WAAAAAAYYYYYY too hard to be little Ms. R&B on every song Elton John's GYBR calls for a singing style that is totally different from what she delivered last night. She should absolutely without a doubt be in the bottom three. But redhead John should be the one booted out.

I finally figured out what his little dance/bounce thing reminds me of: The Brady Bunch episode where they sang "Keep On." They did the same little bounce thing on the "keep ons"...
"We're gonna keep on, keep on, keep on singing and dancing all through the night...."

She can't hit the low notes either - half the time, I couldn't hear what the hell she was singing.

I literally winced when John tried the "Laaaaaaaa-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaa" from Croc Rock & his vioce cracked! - painful! But he may still be in, since again on the radio this am, several morons called in yelling "I voted for him 72 times!" etc.

People voting just cuz someone's from their city is pissing me off. If they suck, they suck. Please vote for talent, not geographic location!

Of course she's a relative, just not one of my relatives.

I imagine you're the one in your family.
