I had a little crush on Bob Lobel when I was, like, 10. The kind of crush 10 year olds have when they want the cute guy to date their mom (mine was single and actually dating and age-appropriate and all. Except I think Bob Lobel was married.)
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

It's equally strange hearing Bill Kurtis's voice on every other A&E show as well as those wireless commercials--he was the co-anchor on Chicago's CBS affiliate 10:00 news in the 1970s/80s. And Lester Holt (now all over MSNBC) was on the local NBC affiliate in the 1980s.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally. And we actually saw him one time, shopping downtown or something, and it was so exciting!!

God, I hated the way Adam sang that song. Hated the interpretation. But he sure can sing.

Because books.
Seriously. I thought he turned that beautiful, very raw, spare song into elevator music. ICK. He can sing, no doubt, I just don't want to listen most of the time.
I feel like Paula is stuck in the 80s. Terence Trent D'Arby? Really?

Have you heard Mary J. Blige and U2 do "One?" It's a little much, IMO, though I kind of like it.
I love "One" - one of my favorite songs on Achtung Baby and Adam murdered it. He can sing, but he murdered it.

Yes! Husband and I were actually saying how much we like that version.

I think Paula is totally stuck in the 80s. I liked One until Adam went to hit that high note and it was eh. Disappointed in Kris's attempt at Apologzie.
Danny just sang You are So Beautiful and it was. boring. The judges loved it but instead of being entranced by the vocals I was easily distracted by Kitty Dean playing with crumpled paper.

I was so fucking worried when Kris said he was singing "heartless." I was like: holy fuck how is he going to pull this off?
he did a nice nice job.
