By the way, does anyone remember Chris Sligh? Just got his album and it's really quite good. I do remember him, but I didn't know he had an album out. He wrote (or maybe co-wrote) a Rascal Flatts song that was big in the last year or so (the name of the song escapes me). I figured maybe he was going to just go the songwriting route instead of performing. Danny Gokey's CD comes out tomorrow. I am not sure I really think he is cut out to be a country artist (at least not in the traditional sense, maybe so in the "pop-country" sense). I will probably pick it up and give it a shot, though.

Thanks for the info. I may have to check that one out as well. I thought he was a good singer during his season and got sent home earlier than he deserved.

I'm so glad I do not watch Idol anymore! do you miss the screeching freak from last year? I don't know what I feel about him anymore. No, I just don't like the drama anymore. Makes me happy not to watch it.

What did you all think last night? I thought most of the guys were better than last week. I would say that I enjoyed Michael Lynch's performance the most.
I have not enjoyed the performance by Jermaine Sellers either week. He is very shrieky to me, but the judges don't seem to think so.
I hope Andrew can get it together and pick some better songs. I like his voice but haven't loved his song choices yet. I think the judges were right when they noted that he set the bar too high with that "Straight Up" performance in Hollywood week.
Anyone else think Kara was critical of Casey this week just to try to compensate for how she has acted over him so far?

I liked Michael Lynch, Casey struggled a bit but was still better than most of the rest of them, and I now have a crush on Lee. He's adorable.
I agree about Kara trying to make up for her Cougar tendencies, but I think she was also the most honest about his performance. Some of her phrasing stunk ("dirt?" seriously?), but she at least gave him something he could use to improve for next week.
On a side note - he needs to go back to wearing a ponytail. It was much sexier on him.

I totally agree with you about Kara's criticism of Casey, even though I do think it was deserved.
John Park really picked himself up from last week, but it was still only "good karaoke."

If I was a contestant on the show I would be really confused right now on what the judges expect.
First they say take a song and make it your own. Then they say you changed it too much. And they also mention that a really good song shouldn't be changed too much. And they critize someone for sounding too much like the song and the singer who recorded it.
What exactly do they want?

I wonder if a contestant could get away with singing Im A Little Teapot (the dance remix version of course)

If they really want ratings they could bring in Posh and Amy Winehouse, pit them in a celebrity death match billed as the battle of the Skeletors.
