come on. every county fair in the country needs a star attraction!

I did like that adam actually took a stand…usually contestants forced to choose that way refuse to do it.

But then?

Ooh, a bank opening! I thought you were at home watching a movie. Those bank openings can get pretty wild. I usually stick around for the dance-naked-in-a-plexiglass-box-of-airborne-100-dollar-bills. And the free cocaine.

My friend insisted we drive to Kalamazoo for a house party with some avant-garde band playing…This was a 3-4 hour drive. He dropped a bunch of acid, and was convinced the band wanted him to join them on stage with his harmonica. I left the room because it was getting weird, but apparently they kicked his ass and…

i actually just watched "ray" for the first time last weekend, after having rented it twice and never getting around to putting it in the dvd player. foxx does a pretty uncanny ray charles, and he is a fairly talented musician. that said, there IS such a thing as too much vocoder.

I would honestly say that the reason he's not saying it as much is that the performers are doing much better at being on-key.

If only Tatiana were here…

Rod Stewart did a standards album a few years back. Tony Bennett has already mentored in a past season. I'm surprised no one thought of the one Rat Packer that's not dead…Jerry Lewis. That would be a mentoring session to see.

Simon does seem to be pushing for a specific final, but he also is calling it based on the numbers. He often bases his comments on what he expects to happen, not necessarily what he wants to happen.

The point is to find and then create a youngish pop star via audience participation. The people who choose to take part are, in fact, a…

Perhaps they're done fucking.

There seem to be many hate threads. I just thought I would mention that a capella music is, in my opinion, very cool, though I can't listen to it for very long. I think Yes's "Leave It" was the first time I realized that it even existed. Also, not that this will make people like it anymore, but it is very, very…

I just thought I would mention
The vocal group performing the Simpsons theme at the end of the show was awesome.

Here's an idea. You get it started, and I'll run you over.

There's no way that AI is Helvetica Bold. More like Times New Roman.

I enjoyed seeing her in her element. It's hard to remember that she's actually really talented at something when she opens her mouth on the show.

I'm right with you, bob.

I would imagine that more people would listen to an album of Allison than an album of Gokey or Lambert. But probably that's just me.

He's moving on up to a bigger and better cruise ship.
