BEST group number in my Fantasy American Idol game...is...Oh....let’s just say a bunch of us get together...and we have a “Jonny and the Vandellas” (Retrokitten and I will be playing the part of said Vandellas-—and no offense to you Jonny for asking you to be Martha Reeves ;-)
But hey...top billing, is top billing!

[MagUSNRET]

For the record...Jessica just LIED on National TV! The United States Navy does not “Deploy to Singapore!”
I do not care if she wins or losers, but do NOT lie about military, princess! (spit)

[silent_jonny]

Joshua is definitely out of his element here!

I usually like him all right, but he's been annoying tonight. He and Queen songs don't mix, lol.

[Shelayne]

OK, P2 is cracking me up talking about Jessica.

She IS an amazing singer, and she is singing for her daddy. *sniff*

>> The United States Navy does not “Deploy to Singapore!”<<

She is 16! She probably doesn’t know all the military terms.

My complaint is she is pushing this song really hard like a sofa cushion from her diaphragm.

Martha was on Dancing with the Stars this week for Motown Week. Not sure if her voice is mostly gone or maybe it was bad sound .

Oh, and Smokey Robinson just looked creepy singing since he had so much plastic surgery.

[Netizen]

Yep, they haven;t even tried to hide it.

Jessica's second song:

[kjam22]

Yeah... she was really good.... but it was so boring that it was like “who cares”

[al_c]

The judges have BLATANTLY shown that they have wanted her out for at least the past 3 weeks, which is precisely why I hope the lass stays!

Yep ... I hope she wins just because of that. Jessica bombed that opening song and they praised her. Hollie did a great job on her first song and they threw her under the bus.

[MagUSNRET]

Sorry...she is playing up the fact that her daddy is in the military and was in Iraq and Afghanistan...that kid KNOWS the difference! ANY military brat KNOWS the difference. It pisses me off when the military is used! and that kid just used the military to HER advantage

[freedumb2003]

Smokey Robinson just looked creepy singing since he had so much plastic surgery.

This is the latest pic of Smokey I could get...

[peggybac]

I was so uncomfortable watching DWTS - Smokey and Martha scared me.

[retrokitten]

LOL!!

[patriotspride]

Yeah... she was really good.... but it was so boring that it was like “who cares”

Jessica Sanchez
(2nd Song)

Second round is Singer's Choice. And Jessica's choice is dedicated to her dad: "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross.

This is very good. She's actually singing instead of screaming.

J-Lo: That may have been the best I've ever heard that song sang. The tenderness, the feeling, your vocal ability--that was the most beautiful I've ever heard it.

Steven: Your voice kind of touches on Whitney, but you've got your own thing. (Loved it)

Randy: I'm so amazed by the talent this year. You are truly amazing to me. Now you've got the feeling in there. Now you're making that connection. You know what was wrong with it? Absolutely nothing!

[freedumb2003]

And on the other side, Skylar is so comfortable on stage.

It doesn’t matter whether she wins or not — she has a HUGE C/W career ahead of her!

[Netizen]

Glad it wasn’t just me that was bored.

I think Skylar is gonna make more money than the rest of them... whether she wins or loses this competition.
