I'm so glad you mentioned that!! My husband and I nearly died when we heard that! We had to back it up and listen again, it was so funny - CA CAWWW!

I thought overall it was an okay night. But, come on, Michael Jackson songs? How current can you be with decade (or more) old songs, and from such a iconic (forgetting the child molester part) singer.

I thought Michael Jackson was a good choice, because there's such a range of songs to choose from. And I think the kids did a good job with it.

My picks for who's going home tonight: Anoop and Megan.

So, what do you think about the voting "twist"...? They made it pretty clear that the judges will have the final say, probably SYTYCD-style.

What style???

I liked Adam Lambert........That's about it!

^^^ So You Think You Can Dance

I have never liked Michael Jackson week, except for last season when David Cook sang "Billie Jean". That song won me over to him immediately.

Last night wasn't good, in my opinion. I really hope Adam goes home. I'm already sick and tired of hearing him screech like a dying cat.

What does everyone think of the new voting twist? I won't spoil it if anyone hasn't heard it yet, but I wish it had gone into affect before Season 4, when they needed that rule the most (just saying).

Oh Kanye, no........:(

Lol at Kanye slumming it on American Idol...

I think it's lame.

I'm so tired of all TEH TWISTS these shows are trying to come up with to make the tired shows interesting again

ETA: Besides trying to make their shows interesting again, I think they're doing it b/c they realize the Idol runners-up have been doing better than the actual winners in most of the years past?!

I agree about the runners-up. Both Chris Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson have had better careers than some of those who lasted longer on the show than they did.

Okay, I may get flamed for this, so just bring it on. But here goes:

I am just not getting all the love for Adam Lamberth. At all.

I don't discount that he has a great voice, but he clearly can not shake his theatre roots and his presence is much more in line with that genre. He appears to be trying waaaaaay too hard to convince us that he is a rock star. Deep down he knows that he is not... he just wants to play one on TV.

I also feel like he is trying to molest me with his eyes with the way he looks into the camera. Blegh. Constantine was one thing, but Adam is so over the top in this regard.

Plus, I find his emotions completely annoying. Somehow when Jorge cries it is endearing and genuine. However, I am so over seeing Adam on the verge of tears every single week. Enough already.

Allright I said it. And I feel sooooo much better!

I agree with you 100%, Blondie. Even down to the eye molesting.

I was kinda hoping Slash coulda showed up just to make that performance worth watching. I want my minute and a half (or however long it took) of my life back.

Will someone please tell me how Kanye kept his pants from falling off? When he jumped onto the desk, I though, UHOH, when he jumps off, they're for sure coming down!

How is that physically possible?

Not surprised about Jorge going home, but kind of surprised about Jasmine, I thought she'd have a built in fan base of young girls who vote for people who look like Disney princesses :) But, I'm glad they didn't waste the, Save the Singer, vote on either of them...

I'm kinda meh about Adam. The kid can sang, but I agree, he's a Broadway type. And the way his tongue juts out when he hits the big/high notes grosses me out (and they always go in tight at those moments - why, camerapeople, why??).

I loved Jasmine but wasn't surprised she went home. I would MUCH have preferred Megan go home. She's a one-trick pony, IMO, very limited in the types of songs she'll be able to sing. I was sorry to see Jorge go but someone had to and I wasn't overly invested in him. Really thought Anoop might've bought it early (he should be thanking his lucky stars and better BRING IT next week!).

My faves remain Lil, Danny and the little blond mom with the pink in her hair, her name escapes me at the moment.

Oh! And re: the rule change, I don't mind it but I think it actually makes the sending-home process a little more brutal, the judges get to look them square in the eye and say "no, sorry" if they don't save them. Ouch!


ETA: And Kanye continues to suck. That is all.

Ditto

Caw Caw!!!!:D:D

Blonde Mom = Alexis
