"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

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.

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."

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?

OMG. Tells you how far out of the loop I am. I thought she was saying Louis Vuitton (sp?) and I was thinking, "I didn't know they made shoes!"

Me=out of touch with today's fashions. Obviously.

That's what I first heard too. Seriously, it sounded like she was saying Lou Baton.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

kat, I'm reading through your blog posts on this season, and, well, loved this initial impression of Russell:

Russell Ferguson – Is OMG amazing. My word, darlings! I must agree with Nigel that he is by far the best krumper they have ever had on the show. If they were going to pass a street dancer straight through to Vegas, why on earth wasn’t it him? Any dancer with the level of body control that this kid displayed in his routine will be able to pick up other styles. Trust that this is so. And he has charisma for days and a smile that lights up a room. If he can hold on to all that swagger through the demands of Vegas, I can see him in the Top 20 for sure.
