( continues...) How can you go wrong with this song? And he’s in fine voice again tonight. The raspy thing is really working. OK, bagpipes? The fuck? Totally unnecessary. I was grooving on that performance until then. Overall, I really liked it. Y’all, this kid is totally gonna win American Idol.
You know, I didn't mind Big Mike. Wasn't the best, but given Aaron and Tim, it was almost a breath of fresh air.
I was surprised the judges praised Tim. Maybe this is reverse psychology, but he wasn't particularly good. Better than last week does not equal good.
I didn't like Katie, but I sure hope a man goes home this week. It needs to be Tim or Aaron. Andrew wasn't great, but he certainly wasn't worse than Aaron.
Nigel, again:
Today's #SYTYCD All-Star is the extremely strong @ADEEVERYDAY. Ade from Season 5 will be an excellent partner in contemporary and classical.
Huh. He wouldn't have beem my choice from amongst the great stable of male contemporary dancers that they have, but he's not a terrible choice.
And "Extremely strong"? That's the best description Nigel could come up with? Again, I say, "Huh."
Do they lip-sync the group performance? Because it sure looked like they were mouthing the words tonight, which surprised me.
Amy,
yes, I think they do.
AI is killing me...
Teenage girls of America, GET A GRIP. Tim is cute, yes, but he can't. sing. a. note.
They didn't used to lip synch the group performance. I actually think they just started doing it last season. The reason given was that the kids were so busy during the week with all their Idol related tasks that they didn't have the necessary time to practice that they'd need in order to pull off a live group sing. OK, except for the fact that they used to do it all the time in every other season ever, and they went back to live group sings last year when they got down to top 5/top 4 . . . basically when they got rid of all the crap singers like Tattoo Sleeve and were left with kids who could actually sing. Because I guess the kids somehow got less busy as the season went on and press demands increased exponentially and they started having to sing more than one song each week.
Simon Fuller and Cecile Frot-Coutaz are entirely evil. And I think 19E's parent company may be Wolfram and Hart.

oh, sweet, naive Amy. That's what autotune is for.
