My extreme dislike of West Virginia aside, why in the hell is Taylor singing this song? It's terrible and boring.

I have the feeling i'm not going to like this week. The themes are leaving something to be desired.

Wonder if Kenny Rodgers will teach them how to sell chicken?

Ace actually did kinda decent. Paris I thought didn't do that well, at least for her.

I totally dug Chris tonight.

Weirdest. Week. Ever.

Normally Taylor is my favorite, and I've wanted Bucky to leave from the very beginning.

Tonight? I thought Bucky was amazing and Taylor was awful.

LOL on Kellie doing Fancy. When they announced the Country music theme last week, I said to my friend who I was watching the show with, "How fitting would it be if Kellie sang Reba McEntire's Fancy?" I called it. And I laughed loud and long when she sang, "I might have been born just plain white trash...". Reba McEntire she wasn't. Not even close.

Surprisingly, Taylor didn't do so well. I thought he'd do good on Country night. Ace and Bucky actually did good this week!

The good: Chris, Bucky, Katharine, Ace
The ok: Elliott, Paris
The awful: Mandisa (horrible performance), Kellie, Taylor

I'm like, BAFFLED at anyone choosing to sing a song about your mama sending you out to become a hooker. WTF?

Also, Mandisa should never again wear something sleeveless. YIKES.

I thought Ace sucked. So did Taylor, and he's usually one of my favorites.

Bucky was surprisingly good... but then country is his genre. I thought Kellie was terrible, but the judges loved her.

Everyone else was just okay for me. Country night was just not a good night for most of these kids. I have a feeling that Queen night won't be either...

It just took me a freaking hour to vote for Katherine twice! That was with redial/ speed dial too. :O If she gets kicked off I will be ma-ad.
Of course, I also voted for Chris and that took me a half hour to vote for him twice. I think I just lucked out on the second vote for him though.
Yes... I am an American idol geek/junky.

Is Freddie Mercury going to come back from the dead to be their "celebrity coach" for the week? UGH!

As for tonight, I liked Katharine, Ace, Chris, Elliott and Kellie. Mandisa and Paris BLEW! Taylor was booooooooooring....Bucky was ok, but he's still Bucky and he's got to go.

Don't even go there shadokat! :)

Seriously, I'm expecting either Brian or Paul Rodgers to be the "coach". I'm almost hoping that it would be Brian, just to perhaps give us a slight chance that it could be tolerable.

JenMarie, if any of them tried "Flash" I would laugh until I cried. And then laugh some more. Laugh harder than I would with Ace singing IWTBF, complete with vacuum and curlers.

Newest rumor is that another upcoming theme week will be the music of PRINCE. I'm hoping it's an unfounded rumor, but for now it's a rumor.

I didn't like Ace at all this week. Blah. And Bucky still needs to leave, and so does Kellie. I don't think the last 2 were awful this week, but I'm so over them. BLAH!

I hope it's a rumor. NONE of them should be allowed to touch a Prince song!!! Why would he do the show? He said he hates the show, but his record label thought that it would increase his record sales if he coached the contestants and performed. Why would he need AI to sell records?:rolleyes:

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought her outfit choice was the most unflattering thing in the world. I swear she was wearing a cross between a couch from the 70s and Betty Ruble's dress.

If Kenny Rogers was being judged by Simon on his performance, I would think Simon would say it was horrendous. It was like he 'talked' the song instead of singing it.

I was thinking the same thing... lol, glad I wasn't the only one.

I am not down with the themes this year, it's really making me not want to watch. But there's nothing else good on.
