No, I agree with her. I just was sheeshing at the situation to begin with.

If anyone else saw yesterday's Top Gear on BBCA, the "star in a reasonably priced car" was some guy I'd never heard of before. However, according to TWOP, he's the voice of both the Geico gekko and the Travelocity gnome! (Harry Enfield is his name.)

My sister just told me that my nephew wants to apply to TAR with me when he hits 18 (in two years). Cutiehead. He actually wanted to apply for the family edition, but we couldn't convince either of my siblings to join us.

AI tonight? horrible. the only one remotely good was Lil Rounds and even she didn't inspire me to vote.

There wasn't much good there, tonight, tiggy. I'm kind of pissed because I think there are other people from the previous segments who deserve to be on more than any of the 12 from tonight. I hope the wildcards take care of that.

Really? I felt the opposite. There were a bunch of people tonight I would like to see again and in previous rounds I was pretty clear on which 3 I would want.

The only people I liked were Lil Rounds ( who was BY FAR the best, if she doesn't get in America is insane, but she'll get a wild card). Jo'Not (or how ever his name is spelled), he did Deliliah, which he did in Hollywood week, but it was an interesting take on it and he sang it well. Jorge (Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me).

and Felicia wasn't too bad. Everyone else was just.. a hot mess. What is with the song choices? The ABBA song! She was a good singer but that was just ... sad. Plus the country girl looked cute and picked a country song but not one she could sing. And formerly purple hair girl, I don't see why she got so many raves.

I'm a little worried the young guy who butchered the Elton John song will get in on the teenage "ooh he's so cute" vote.

Well, I didn't like the song choices of any of your favorites (although I agree with your take on their performances), but they were able to rise above their choice.

I can't think of one choice I liked. Was there any song with a solid melody last night?

And, why did the judges rave about the first guy? I thought he was totally flat through most of the song.

I can't remember the first guy. I know at about 9:00 I was wondering if it was 1 1/2 hours because I couldn't remember anyone who was coming up next.
