"We have trust issues." Mylar

Crystal/Gimme One Reason - This girl is the truth. She can blow. And she also is singing the song like herself and not like a Tracy Chapman clone. Fun. Loving the Mamasox!

Lily/I Fall to Pieces - Crazy ass song choice. And she sounds like ass. She's missed the final note of every phrase. Patsy Cline songs are so hard to sing. They will kick your ass. Were the judges even listening? Why are they even here? Now with extra added useless.

Top 6: Mamasox, Siobahn, Didi, Katelyn, Lily, and I don't care who else. I guess Katie was the least bad of the bunch.

Still not feeling anyone but Crystal, who is the only one whose name I know so far.

"Rising Sun," "Rhiannon," and "I Fall to Pieces" were interesting/decent.

Loved Crystal, liked Siobhan, I have a serious hate developing for Lilly and Lacey. Lilly MURDERED Patsy. I also don't like Didi - she was whiny again. (Also, *that* song is Rhiannon? I totally never knew that.)

I think Paige and Lacey or Katie will probably go. Paige was the only one I couldn't get though - when the Bossanova beat started, I stopped.

Because books.

I like Lilly a lot, but that wasn't the right song for her. I did like what Didi did with "Rhiannon" -- it was different, but not too different, and she sounded really good. I don't like her as much as Siobhan, though. Siobhan's great, really herself, and what a great voice.

Crystal's my girl, though. She's wonderful.

I just wish they would tune down the backup singers a bit. I know they probably want each song to sound performance-grade for the TV audience, but I don't want to hear them, I want to hear the contestant.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's been about 5 years since I watched AI. And seriously, these guys suck. WTF? Did they run out of talented guys?

The girls are much stronger this year, Aims.

I wanted to reach through the tv and slap that young man that was just killing Queen.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Why do the boys suck so hard? And why do the judges continue to lie to these fools, especially the two mulleted white boys? When your Hallelujah isn't even as good as Jason Castro? Then it's time to pack it up and go home. For real. And the other one, y'all I don't even remember what he sang. I've mentally blocked it out. Il Divo murdered Somebody to Love, and I can't believe the Dawg had the nerve to compare that performance to Glee. He seriously needs a Sue Sylvester bitch slap. Lee Dewyze does not have a terrible voice, but he has shitty taste in songs. Lips of an Angel and now the damn Fireflies song. Oh, baby. No. A world of no. Cowboy Casey was fine if wholly unmemorable on that Keith Urban tune. Archileta 2.0 was never anywhere near being in tune on that treacly crap he sang and just served to reinforce my point that 16 year olds should not be let anywhere near this show. Andrew was OK, but the judges seem determined to throw him under the bus. Mike is still not nearly as appealing as the show thinks he is and he damn sure doesn't have Maxwell's pipes, so while the performance wasn't a train wreck, it certainly was nothing to cry over. In my AI fantasy world, judge #4 was all teary because Simon punched her in the throat while she was trying to push up on him during the song. Yep, that's exactly how it happened. Boo, AI. Worst semi-finals ever.

And I'm mad that Tyra wasted 90 minutes of my time and didn't give me any ALT. Reality TV worked my every last nerve tonight.

let the church say amen. He better be on the next ep. Although that bit about the white penis was pretty funny.
