Me, too. Heck, it's the teen girl still inside me that's been voting for Crystal all along! I have no doubt she'll be very successful, she's got a very strong personality and a heck of a fanbase at home that I think will help power her into a more prominent position. Plus, she's a songwriter, too, and a very talented one from what I've seen. Lee, I'm not so sure that he'll be able to make a go of it even with the AI machine backing him. He's just too demure. He doesn't believe in himself and I don't know if he's going to be able to handle the added attention. He feels like another Taylor Hicks. And I loved Taylor, but he just isn't commercial.

TCM - Christ, not only is Rick whining again, but the moron who got Dionysus saying he doesn't care about working wine into the dish (or some such) is heading for a major beat-down from the judges.

He was really clever with the root vegetables, I thought.

I'm annoyed with the judges for ragging on sandwiches. Bah. That "she needs to think about where we are in the competition" is bs.

Art Crawl!!!

It is. I'm sad that she's gone. Also, that we are setting up for a finale of three asshats.

Yeah. Going for drama, I guess. Sigh.

Because books.

Jonathan's not an asshat! I don't think so, anyway.

I don't think so, either, but I think they'll find a way to send him home. But maybe not! I hope not.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm guessing since he's been down on the bottom half consistently that he'll be going home soon.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Fantasia + Christina + Kelly Clarkson + The Return of Pau Pau + Janet Frikkin Jackson = A very contented Kat.

I knew that Crystal wouldn't win. Tween power voters. Still, Lee is one of the most disappointing Idol winners of all time - Like Taylor Hicks-ian levels of disappointing. The talent gap between Lee and Mamasox is just staggering.

Still, Joe Cocker and Crystal were adorable. And Janet and her tremendo culo (Damn girl! Love the short hair, too). And Paula. Oh, Paula. You have been missed, girl.
