Agreed. I can hear Aretha in my head saying, “Girl, please.”

LMAO!

[silent_jonny]

So kids, do I watch from the beginning or just read the thread?

Watch for Bowersox and Lilly if nothing else.

[silent_jonny]

LOL! We need the “Good Old Boys”!

Ha! I think Bob, owner of Bob's Country Bunker is my favorite from the whole movie.

Bob: "You boys owe me a lotta money for that bar you been drinkin'."

Elwood: "Oh ... We thought the beer was free."

Bob: (chuckling) "Aw-haw-haw-haw, Naw son, naw."

[silent_jonny]

Thanks, friend :) Good night!

LOL!

Thanks for the link. Saw David Cassidy on some show a year or so back. Still looks nice. The youngest ones looked to most changed, for obvious reasons. That was neat to see them.

[Netizen]

Glad to hear that your Dad is doing well. :)

Catching up on the action

My rankings overall 1. Andrew Garcia 2. Michael "Big Mike" Lynche 3. Lee Dewyze 4. Aaron Kelly 5. Casey James 6. Todrick Hall 7. Tim Urban 8. Jermaine Sellers 9. John Park 10. Alex Lambert

It's time to put Alex Lambert out of his misery.

For the girls...

My rankings for Wednesday's performances 1. Crystal Bowersox 2. Siobhan Magnus 3. Katie Stevens 4. Lilly Scott 5. Michelle Delamor 6. Paige Miller 7. Didi Benami 8. Katelyn Epperly 9. Lacey Brown 10. Haeley Vaughn

My rankings overall 1. Crystal Bowersox 2. Lilly Scott 3. Katie Stevens 4. Siobhan Magnus 5. Katelyn Epperly 6. Michelle Delamor 7. Paige Miller 8. Didi Benami 9. Haeley Vaughn 10. Lacey Brown

It's a bummer. I think Haeley is adorable, but some teens are ready for this competition at this high level (Katie Stevens) and some should have gotten more years of seasoning before graduating from Hollywood Week (Haeley Vaughn).

You are so organized!

[EmilyGeiger]

Thanks! He was sore yesterday, but coloring was much better.

[Miss Didi]

Your welcome...glad I did that search because I’d never ever watch the Today Show. ;)

[silent_jonny]

Great review!

3. Katie Stevens – Put Your Records On – I loved this. I thought it was the perfect song for Katie, and where does that voice come from in a 17 year old.

I really liked her too. She was impressive. But the judges shrugged her off. They had the same reaction to Paige.

Disagree on Lilly. I can see her going all the way to the finale. Or at least the Top 5.

[silent_jonny]

Hi, CCC :)

It's time to put Alex Lambert out of his misery.

I can stand him for now. But please put Jermaine and Todrick out of OUR misery first, lol

I’m having a real hard time “getting into” any of these contestants right now. The few I had high hopes for initially have been kind of coasting, and while I could compile a list of maybe the best 6 or 7 overall, it look like we’re going to have suffer through several weeks of dead wood purging.

The older contestants just seem to lack a consistent “it” factor”, the younger ones lack a sense of identity and either come across as sounding too old (Katie) or too young (Paige) for their age.

The few that have an actual sense of identity and/or star power seem to be too quirky to me to have staying power.

As a group, they just seem a’ight this year, no real stars emerging yet.

[Palladin]

Agree. I’m having a tough time coming up with a Top Five list this year. One problem is that the contestants, with the exception of Lynche, Bowersox, and Lilly, are very inconsistent and unpredictable.

[CounterCounterCulture]

But please put Jermaine and Todrick out of OUR misery first, lol

Yeah, my #6-10 overall (including those two) need to go soon, none of them are going to win this thing. At least one of those bottom five makes it into the Final 12. Blech. ;-)
