I definitely liked him more when I listened without watching. His phrasing is so quirky that I'm struggling to understand if he is quirky but good, or just quirky. I'm down with him making the finals so that I (and, you know, other members of the audience) can try to figure that out. But when all is said and done, it wouldn't shock me if I wasn't crazy about him by the end of this experiment.Jenn.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-12092450542736127922011-03-02T23:21:42.064-05:002011-03-02T23:21:42.064-05:00Sorry not to be part of the party this week, but I...Sorry not to be part of the party this week, but I hope to be back next week. A few points of disagreement: I already hate Jacob Lusk, and Robbie Rosen did nothing to endear himself to me this week. My personal favorites are (of course) Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald, and James Durbin.KCosmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-17971145481068100992011-03-02T17:59:37.851-05:002011-03-02T17:59:37.851-05:00I already hated "Arms of the Angel" with...I already hated "Arms of the Angel" with the white-hot fire of a bazillions suns... and now I hate it MORE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-62836551248430271752011-03-02T08:18:32.719-05:002011-03-02T08:18:32.719-05:00We have flipped tendencies as re: this show!

I really hope Brett sticks around for a while, and I love Casey, Paul MacDonald, James Durbin, and Jacob Lusk. My love is a curse, however -- last year I was convinced in the early weeks that Siobhan would lead us all across the desert, and we saw what happened there.Paul Tabachnecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-76805675262300255272011-03-02T07:38:13.232-05:002011-03-02T07:38:13.232-05:00Correct -- nothing locks in the first time until t...Correct -- nothing locks in the first time until tomorrow night.

As much as I like the new judges and as excited as I am that Randy actually had something worthwhile to say, I kept wondering what Simon's take would have been about some of the performances tonight. I wish he was blogging this season or something.erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-21988511078416342812011-03-01T22:50:56.276-05:002011-03-01T22:50:56.276-05:00Jacob?

The eye thing when he started tonight was straight up bizarre. Maybe I should hope he sticks around just for the inevitable breakdown. <br /><br />I definitely think putting them on the big stage the first night out was a bad idea for a lot of these guys. It should be interesting to see how the women manage tomorrow night. <br /><br />I thought Casey was great. Stefano was OK. Paul was too twitchy to look at but there's something about him I like. I'm surprised that I like Scotty. I threw a few pity votes to Tim (he was so good earlier in the competition but I think bad song choice + first time on the big stage screwed him up tonight), Stefano (not so bad), and Robbie. Brett seems like a nice little kid who needs an Idol makeover. Maybe they can Bieber-fy him a bit. He has the head toss down already. <br /><br />I can't even muster up pity for the others, I just flat out despise them -- except James Durbin. I don't like his voice so far or that stupid scarf hanging off his ass, but there's something very endearing about him that makes me want to root for him. It's tough to decide just who I want to go home this week. So many awful performances tonight. erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-15430720860306373252011-03-01T22:32:52.838-05:002011-03-01T22:32:52.838-05:00By the way, I didn't read the rules.

Joining a fantasy league. As usual, I didn't start watching Idol until semi-finals, but because I've joined Alan's Hitfix league, all of a sudden I'm paying attention a lot more. Cripes, I've even got a SPREADSHEET.<br /><br />Adam, I'm pretty much in agreement with your assessment. Definitely hoping for more Casey and Paul (or, as the BF and I have dubbed him, "Hobbit Joe Cocker"). Is there enough room for Casey and Paul and James Durbin in the finals? I certainly hope so, but I'm skeptical. And Brett can't get off my TV fast enough. Totally off-putting look, voice, and song choice. Which, of course, means he'll make the Top 5.randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-26625779106518500162011-03-01T22:18:16.001-05:002011-03-01T22:18:16.001-05:00Shortly after Brett's performance, "Jim M...Shortly after Brett's performance, "Jim Morrison" was trending on Twitter, at least in part because of the popularity of tweeting that he was "rolling in his grave."Robinnoreply@blogger.com
