I thought Michael was the best tonight, but it wasn't my type of music so I'm not voting for anyone.

I loved the last singer. Was that Michael? That song and its rendition were beautiful.

I couldn't believe the judges liked Toderick so much. I think he's awful.

Yeah, the last guy was Michael.

And I agree with you about Todrick. Ugh.

Agreed, Michael was the best singer tonight - but I simply cannot get on board with him - something about him just puts me off. I feel annoyed every time I see him.

The judging is killing me this season.

I'm thinking "Tim Urban, I hate you" while he's performing, and they not only praise it, but tongue bathe it.

While I don't think Tim Urban was great, he was sooooo much better than the awful performances he's given so far. Still, I see no one among the guys who can compete with Crystal or Siobhan. That said, I think they move to a bigger venue next week, and performers may give a totally different impression on a bigger stage, with a bigger crowd.

That's so true, MB. I'm glad they will finally be on the big stage. Bring it on!

I keep not being able to make it through the guys episodes. I'll watch 1 performance, stop for 20 minutes, watch two more, stop for an hour...

Like pulling teeth.

I didn't think that "Big Mike" was all that. No one blew me away last night. I didn't vote.

I'm hoping we've seen the last of Todrick Hall. What a douche...

[StockardFan]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 11:41am

I didn't vote either. I haven't hardly voted at all this year.

Michael was the only one who did well last night...it was a very good vocal of a terrific song (see kd Lang sing it at the Olympics).

So desperate to get the praise back by doing "Genie in a Bottle". I like him, but puh leez!

Chrystal, Siobban and Michael...final three.

Toderick is a complete douche.

I cant believe the mediocrity...and the Tim Urban love made me go "hwhah?!"

Elton John was on the View today. They were discussing AI, and Elton said something to the effect that Big Mike is the one who has the most god given talent, has the voice of an angel. Don't quote me verbatim on that.

Big Mike is so AVERAGE. Why is he getting so much praise?

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 12:15pm

Because for most people, he isn't AVERAGE, Tom.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 12:16pm

Compared to the other guys, he's a prodigy!

[Tom1071]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 12:19pm

That isn't saying much.

Being better by comparison isn't good when the bar has been set so low.

Okay. I'm done. I'm turning this crap off once and for all. I mean it.

I can handle the sh*tty singers, but when the judges refer to Kate Bush's song as "Maxwell's 'This Woman's Work'"...I'm just done. Done.

Michael Slezak at EW.com always manages to hit the nail on the head.

Love how he likens it to being force feed crap and being told it's a high-end meal. That's exactly what is happening this season.

"Imagine a greasy slice of olive-loaf, a package of half-defrosted frozen green beans, and a bowl of two-day-old refrigerated oatmeal. Now imagine going to your favorite restaurant and having the aforementioned foodstuffs placed in front of you. You try to explain this isn't what you ordered, try to send these unappealing items back to the kitchen, but everyone — the waiter, the manager, the busboy, and the chef — insists you're turning your nose up at a delicious meal of filet mignon, haricots verts, and creamy polenta. You think to yourself: 'Am I going crazy? Am I losing touch with my senses? And why in holy hell is Kara DioGuardi crying?'"

I think you're referencing "the emperor's new clothes" Tom.

Well, I'm sorry for people who swallow it. (pun intended)

[Tom1071]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 3:15pm

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say, Jane.

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/11/10 at 3:18pm

I'm saying that your analogy using food is like the emperor's new clothes story. And that I'm sorry for people who swallow ( pun) the hype.

If you still don't know what I'm saying, it's not your fault! I'm bad at getting my point across on the internet.

[Tom1071]

Did you read the article in the link? Michael Slezak references The Emperor's New Clothes as well. Coincidence?

"...every time the season 9 guys hit the stage, the feeling persists that the Emperor, while perhaps not butt-booty nekkid, is down to a threadbare bikini and a pair of tragic fingerless gloves."

[Jane2]

No, I hadn't read it. Great minds......

Ding dong, the douche is gone!

LOL at the blind guy shaking his butt to hype up the crowd during the musical break in the duet!
