Hi :) I’m sorry you’re not feeling well.

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Peggy!

[patriotspride]

I don’t know if anyone else is a fan of The Band, but Levon Helms passed away today. This is my favorite performance (for those unfamiliar, he is the drummer).
The Weight featuring Ray LaMontagne, Elvis Costello, Levon Helm

---

Really liked him as a performer.

[Shelayne]

No, I am right there with you. If I were Elvis, I would shoot that commercial right off my TV. *BOOM* Sayonara, suckers!

In case you don’t think Simon is odd enough..he only wants to use Black toilet paper ...at a cost of about 10 pounds per roll.

Skylar and Elise are called.

Iovine predicts Elise will be in the Bottom Three, "if not going home."

On Skylar, Iovine says "she's like the little engine that could. She just keeps getting better and better."

Elise whines to Seacrest that the judges are tougher on her because she's older.

And she's in the Bottom Three. The audience is silent. Seacrest has to spur them to applaud. "Let's hear it for Elise!"

Skylar is safe.

Elise Testone

[Mark was here]

I feel ripped off when they show the short version of the stupid Nike spot...

[MagUSNRET]

I do not think I will be able to stomach the alleged “singing group” LMFAO....so....that being said.....anyone else want anything from the kitchen? I will be back in approximately 5 minutes-—or when I hear applause that indicates their number is over. :-)

[slugbug]

Hi Jonny! I’m finally here...just in time to see Elise put in the bottom 3 (again). I am so over her and hope she goes home tonight...not that she has a bad voice. I just don’t care for her attitude and her always talking about how hard she works...I think the other contestants work hard as well!

[silent_jonny]

“LMFAO”—isn’t that the “band” that had an altercation with Mitt Romney on an airplane?

[retrokitten]

From the whopping £3000 a week on floral arrangements to the colonic irrigations and vitamin intravenous drips, the 52-year-old isn't afraid to splash the cash on life's little luxuries.

Ooookay. I remember seeing his house on Cribs a few years ago and he had have had at least 30 different vitamins and supplements on his bathroom counter that he said he takes every day. I just remember thinking that must be super hard on his liver.

[Fishtalk]

Once again I must ponder why have a commercial to SELL a product about someone almost dying?

Is the idea to lift my spirits?

Am I supposed to be happy that the poor schlub almost kills himself?

And half dead she closes the curtain and they do what behind it...with him on oxygen?

I’m serious, this is the dumbest commercial....ever.

I am so busy watching dumbness I don’t even know what they’re trying to sell.

[silent_jonny]

Dick Clark gets a more fitting tribute on tonight's show, narrated by Seacrest.

Very nice.

[retrokitten]

I don't know, but I do know that they had an interaction with Jon Hamm.

[silent_jonny]

I predict a few “muted” words in this performance.

[peggybac]

Oh, dear Lord. It’s times like now that I wish I could drink again.

[silent_jonny]

There was one muted word.

And now a dancing zebra--LOL!

[Shelayne]

My mute button is getting a workout tonight. LOL.

I think all pass on this “alleged” musical group as well. Meet ya in the kitchen. ;^)

[RummyChick]

feel sorry for the guy in at the back of that dancing zebra
