Hear, hear. I get panicked when iTunes tells me I have more than 20 podcasts that I have yet to listen to.

I heard this from TMZ, so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently Phil Squared is very ill and requires immediate surgery, but he refused to do so until after the finale and will miss the first six weeks (?) of the tour.

I don't think this counts as a character per se, but I adore Sudeikis' dancing man in "What Up With That?"

It's like that hand of his has some sort of palsy…when he's singing sans guitar and is walking around the stage, he keeps it curled up near his armpit in a very distracting and awkward manner.

Oh god, there has never been any more blatant bus-throwing-under than when the judges gave Syesha the "Happy Feet" song and then blasted her for her attempts to make a decent performance of that dreck.

"Higher than any other" made me cringe every time they awkwardly sang-shouted it.

I'm all sorts of hopped up on cold meds at the moment, but I recall the pilot showing Rachel in the yearbook group photos of a bunch of clubs. Yet we have heard nothing about it since. Typical Glee.

So cute. I called it "Alice in Wonderland 2012."

I believe this is just a regular ol' Interview, not Random Roles.

Okay, now I have never suffered from kidney stones and understand they are quite painful, but are they debilitating enough to prevent Phil Squared from doing any Idol-related stuff except for performing and appearing on the results shows? Dude doesn't go on any Ford video shoots, photo shoots or press events. 

I don't get the Coldplay hate, either. I was on a blind date once and the guy visibly recoiled from me and shouted, "YOU LIKE COLDPLAY!?!?" in the middle of a restaurant when I revealed this fact. Needless to say, we didn't go out again.

And, if my memory is correct, every one of the past 10 winners has been Southern. Anyone from above the Mason Dixon Line has a shot in hell of winning this thing.

The fact that he wasn't in the bottom three after that hideous, off-key performance of "Time of the Season" makes me think Phil Squared is a lock for the finale. Fuck that.

I'm too old (24) to care about that shit, but I found myself markedly disappointed when they flashed to Phillip's girlfriend in the audience. It was like when 12-year-old me found out that Justin Timberlake was dating Britney Spears.

Maybe it's just me, but when my favorite contestant gets voted out, I stop voting.

There was a scene last night of Mark Salling and Cory Monteith walking through the halls, past actual high school-aged extras, and my god, did they both look positively elderly. They're going to be eligible for AARP soon.
