Hi Jonny ..

LOL

[silent_jonny]

Again with CCR.

[Netizen]

LOL Good pic!

[MagUSNRET]

P Squared is sounding a bit rough.....or Im just getting tired of him............or both

[peggybac]

Hey Jonny!

[twin2]

Hi jonny!

P2 up first. He sounds good. He sounds the same.

[kjam22]

I’m just saying... this song is killing me...

[retrokitten]

Hi there! I can’t believe P2 didn’t go home before Skylar.

[tapatio]

Whew! Glad that’s over!

[kjam22]

He shouldn’t be sent home for this CCR song... he should be shot

[Netizen]

Now that quote is a keeper!

Half the site has been banned or left on their own, so why is the site so dang slow tonight? There is no debate or election results.

[MagUSNRET]

P squared has kidney problems...and he honestly sounds as if he is trying to pass a stone when he is singing

[stylecouncilor]

The ones left are boring. We need jerky panda.

[peggybac]

[retrokitten]

Yeah, that wasn’t anywhere near good.

Is Randy in a barbershop quartet?

[dfwgator]

They need Chuck Barris, Jaye P Morgan, and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.

[kjam22]

holy cow... these judges suck. Even Joan Jett’s version of that song was better than that.

[Netizen]

haha Good point.

[MagUSNRET]

FReepathon time is ALWAYS slower than molasses in january...I think it is a subliminal message to us...that if we just dig a little deeper into our pockets......it will speed up

[just me]

YO What the heck is Randy wearing?

[retrokitten]

[kjam22]

Phillip Phillips
(1st Song)

Forehead Vein gets the show started with CCR's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain". They're able to sing the full songs now, with so much time to fill. It's okay, but I can't tell one Phillips song from another. (He makes ^that^ face through most of the performance)

Steven: You're living proof that the road to success is always under construction.

J-Lo: The vocal quality that you used was perfect for that song. Great way to start the show.

Randy: (wearing one of Herb Tarlek's jackets) Started off a little rough. Then you're whole vibe lightened up. Sensational from then on. If you have a good time, we have a good time and they have a good time. (the crowd screams--heavy on the Ferlies)

[MagUSNRET]

I think Randy is wearing selections from the “Middle Aged Pimps gone Wild” collection

[silent_jonny]

LOL!

[just me]

LOL

Hi, Net!

I don't remember Hollie at all from last season.

[kjam22]

Doing a Journey song. Hey... wasn’t Randy in Journey???? :)

[MagUSNRET]

Hollie better give it the gun soon, or shes gonna be going home....this song isnt going great thusfar....but Im hopeful....

[peggybac]

Oh, now, you’re probably gonna say next that John Kerry was in Nam.

[retrokitten]

It's horrible. I think it may be in 3D or one of those magic eye pictures where if you adjust your eyes you can see another picture.

[just me]

I think I heard that before.. :)

[TexasNative2000]

That song’s a lot bigger than she is. Bad choice.

[Shelayne]

ROFL!

Good evening, Jonny and Peeps!

Go, HOLLIE! :^)

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Good Evenin’, Guv’nor!

This song by Hollie brings me back to high school senior year in 1983...

Why is Randy wearing a Gene Rayburn jacket?

[twin2]

Hollie is my favorite still left in the competition.

Oh looky, Randy mentioned Journey. Shocking.

[MagUSNRET]

Dontcha think it is more Charles Nelson Reilly than Gene Rayburn? ;-)

[kjam22]

Yeah.... I thought she did better as she went on... And made it work as it went on... but the first part was pretty weak. I hope she can hang in there....

[Shelayne]

YAAAAAAY! Jerky Panda is baaaaack!

[peggybac]

My favorite Glee Journey:

Hollie Cavanagh
(1st Song)

She chooses Journey's "Faithfully". It starts off a little weak, but builds up nicely. The wind machine and fog machine's are both earning their keep tonight. Very nice performance.

$1 says Randy will mention that he was in Journey--and specifically worked on this song.

Randy: You're peaking at the right time in this competition. I'm just so amazed. You've been sleighing it every week. That song is dear to my heart (mentions Journey and Steve Perry--there goes my $1)

J-Lo: Watching your journey got me a little emotional. Watching how much you've grown. Laid back. Ready to share your gift with everybody.

Steven: I've watched you blossom. Creativity is a very fragile flower, but you can make it bloom with positive blah, blah. (He liked it.)

[MagUSNRET]

Joshua is up next....(grab your hearing protection!)...When he jumps and yelps around the stage, it makes me think of Little Richard at a Baptist tent meeting.

[Netizen]

Hi Jonny!

I was a little disappointed with Hollie’s song. I found it a little boring. But, that’s just me. I really wanted her to do great.

[retrokitten]

The Steven Tyler Burger King commercial is really funny.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

You’re absolutely right!!!

[silent_jonny]

You mean the 4 that are left because of votefortheworst.com

VFTW has no effect on this show. Their hype is completely self-generated.

[silent_jonny]

ROFL!

[kjam22]

Who’s that talking?????

[peggybac]

Oh dear Lord, the AI tour is coming to KC in July. They just advertised it.

[retrokitten]

LOL
