That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm pretty sure Leona Lewis' song was the worst song I have ever heard.

I only listened to the first minute of it. I was in search of a melody and there didn't seem to be one in that song.

Happy with the results. Happy with the top 4. Sad Russell hurt himself, but seeing him one legged krump was wonderful.

Oh! And I loved Adam Lambert last night. I've heard some of his new CD (a friend has it), and overall, it's way too techno for me (frankly, any techno is too techno for me), but I really liked the song he did last night.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

apologies for my incessant complaints 2 nights ago about NBC showing "The Sing Off" and allotting 2 hours for 6 songs. Apparently, 12 songs were actually sung and somehow I missed the first hour!

How I thought 1 hour was actually 2 is something I need to sort out for myself.

Oh good, I'm glad it wasn't just me. I did like the Adam Lambert song though, and even the J-Lo one (despite her pronunciation of Louboutin).

And I agree that Jakob will do just fine, so I'm happy with Russell taking home the prize.

Yeah, is that the way fashionistas pronounce Louboutin? Because, it's an actual guy's name and he's actually French, and that's not how you say that in French.

Trust my rage

I always thought it was "tine" not "taan" among other pronunciation issues.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"taan" is correct in French, as in "coq au vin."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got all distracted by Cat saying she was wearing Manolos and what that says about maybe a generational divide in fancy footwear and now I can't really recall the song.

Well, I don't know about fashionistas, but Christian Louboutin pronounces it Loo-boo-ta[n](as in vin). And I'm pretty sure that's what Cat said as well.

Yeah, in the song it was more like "Loo-buh-ton." Or even "Loo-bi-tons."
