They just did that for the first one. It looks like the next one is going to be Anne Burrell, Robert Irvine, Duff (from Ace of Cakes) and someone else.

Then I think one night is going to be former judges on the show (I know I've seen Aron Sanchez and Amanda Frietag in the previews) and then I'm not sure after that.

I'm really interested in seeing the judges see how it is on the other side.

Anyone else watch Celebrity Rehab? Mike Starr died. So sad. [link]

ANTM: I think tonight is the makeover episode. Drama! tears! Tyra's crack-brained ideas of what the girls should look like!

Oh, I saw some sort of news thing that Mike Starr had died but I had no idea who he was.

What is Pia wearing? The sparkle dress is fine. Why a cape? That is attached at the waste? And is like a mullet wig? Why?

I wasn't in the room for that -- I just heard it. I thought her voice sounded awesome.

I'm liking the country stuff tonight a lot. Which is weird for me.

I liked the song, but was too distracted by the thing down her back.

Top Chef: The sound you hear is my heart breaking.

Mine, too.

First three AI performances? Eh, I'm not all that impressed with two of them.

The wardrobe monkeys are obviously back on that stuff. JLo. Ay, mami. The lipstick? That shade of red? Perhaps a tad too bright? And Ryan? The suit? A little too short, tight, shiny? After all, we’re not Frau Klum-Seal, are we? Let’s think about that. And Steven Tyler? No sheer, see through anything. No. Lauren A. still looks like 100 year old trailer trash. Get on that trannys.

Lauren A./Any Man of Mine/Shania Twain – I can believe that Shania is her personal Idol because she is 1700. Not the best song choice though. This girl has a great voice and Shania doesn’t and all her songs are built around the fact that Shania can’t really sing. Especially the upbeat ones. I mean, I get why Lauren A. wanted to do something fun and upbeat, but Man . . . I Feel Like a Woman would’ve been a better choice. JLo and Steven Tyler basically tell her that it was a lazy performance. And this is true. And the Dawg name drops and brings up Mutt Lange, who is a dirty cheater and it’s so awkward and he basically says what JLo and Steven Tyler said better than him a minute ago. Not the best start to the show. And she needs to quit with the Peaches and the pouty, baby faces. That shit is going to turn America right off.

Casey Abrams/With a Little Help From My Friends/Joe Cocker – Hmmm, I’m not sure I believe Joe Cocker is one of his personal Idols, but The Wonder Years story was cute. This is kind of an expected choice for him, but I do think he can turn this out. I want him to stay in tune this time, though. Damn. This kid just has a sweet, sweet tone to his voice. And he’s getting the pimp choir. He did a nice job with that. Not too shouty over the top. A few notes off key here and there, but much more controlled than his last outing. And he’s just got it. The what-it-is-ness. He’s the business, this kid. He’s the business. A rainbow of talent and a plethora of passion. Oh, Steven Tyler. Never ever change. And is that a dig from Ry Ry to Jenny? Guess there’s only room for one diva on this block.

Ashthon Jones/When You Tell Me that You Love Me/Diana Ross – Rodney Jerkins? That a big name. And this girl is not Miss Ross. And she’s off from note one. Note one. Alright, I’m over it. I revoke the what-it-is-ness. And with so many great Diana songs, this is the one they go with? This song? She’s getting closer to the pitch as she goes on but as soon as she goes for the big, power notes, she goes sharp once again. And where was the high note that was higher than she’d ever sung? And they dug Berry Gordy out of whatever he’s doing for that? It was boring and I was bored and it was not all that well sung. They are trying to make the most of their booty wildcard choice. JLo looked sooo disappointed. We are, too, JLo. We are too.

ETA: Make that not all that impressed with 3 of the first 4.

Paul McDonald/Come Pick Me Up/Ryan Adams – OK, that makes sense as an inspiration. Hmm, I think this is in the wrong key for him, no? Way too low. He is really scraping along the bottom of his lower register which is making the weird, nasally quality to his voice unpleasant rather than quirky. And the herky jerky dancing and the smile just look uncomfortable rather than endearing because it’s clear that he knows he is fucking it right up royally. Thank you, Steven Tyler for calling that fool out on not putting the song in the right key. That’s some basic, basic shit right there. And trying to cut on JLo for not knowing Ryan Adams? Bitch, please. I’m sorry JLo is not cool enough for your school. Eww. He did not come off well right there. Loved Ryan cracking on his busted dance moves. He’s so good at his job, y’all. I think he’s the best reality show host in the business bar none. Lightened up a kind of down atmosphere right quick.
