ETA: found this older photo of him online. I hate long hair on men. He doesn't look like as much of a catch in this photo...in fact, he looks like a girl.

I KNEW I recognized him. Wonder if he and Kristen McNamara are buddies? Both are NS alumni.

Yeah, maybe she snatched him up when we was in his Shawn Cassidy phase, because he looks a lot better now:

A surprising number of contestants are really sucking tonight.

Hopefully Tatiana is one of them and she gets the boot.

The contestants REALLY needed some help with song choice this week. Really... give them some guidance. Some of these songs are terrible, AND the arrangements suck.

I do have to say that there's nothing better than DVRing it and missing all of the commercials and other crap.

It's as if none of them have ever seen the show before! What do the judges *always* say in the first round? Song choice, song choice, song choice!

I can't believe some of these choices... obscure songs, songs that do not show off their vocal range and don't even get me started on the chick that destroyed The Police song.

It pains me, but Tatiana has been one of the better girls, though the blond mom from earlier should sail into the next round.

Disappointing night.

Why do I get sucked in year after year?

I HATE Tatiana. But damn, the girl has some pipes and can sing. It's so incongruous. What a whack job, but all of that talent. She's got some of the better, stronger pipes this season.

Definitely agree with the song choices. What are these people thinking?

Don't sing: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and tonight, I'm adding to my list - The Police

I know that Danny sang Mariah, but he's not a girl, so you really can't compare his voice to hers, and it doesn't matter anyway because he's an AMAZING singer.

But I sometimes wonder... do these contestants practice their songs for other people?! I'd be singing on the street asking for opinions if it meant I'd choose the right song. And I would hope that my friends and family would be honest with me if I sucked and needed to choose a different one.

The Police?!? hahahahaha - What could that girl have possibly been thinking???

That said, I thought the mom with the pink streak in her hair was really good. I actually picked up the phone and called for her.

I really like Jackie. Pink haired mom was good, but I don't think I can watch her every week. I was really impressed with Tatiana. I don't know if subdued Tatiana is just an act, or if she's really trying to make an effort because her friends gave her a good ass ripping between Hollywood Week and last night.

I still like Anne Marie and Michael Sarver, but they both were just MEH last night.

I was so disappointed with Stevie. I was really looking forward to seeing her perform. I couldn't even watch.

Which one was Jackie - they are all blending together now.

Tatiana held it together until the very end when she blurted out that "plea to America". It was weird, it seemed like she was barely holding on to her poise and just couldn't stop herself from blurting at the end. She seems like she has a personality disorder to me, her reactions are just not quite right for the situation...

She was the first one to perform last night - Elvis' "Little Less Conversation." I was not a big fan of her outfit, but it's okay.

I wasn't loving her

Totally agree with you! I think I described her elsewhere as having a Beauty Queen on Crack persona. Last night she was more Psycho Beauty Queen on Zanax. Subdued, yet still a little whacko.

But yes, she CAN sing! I predict that if she doesn't get voted through, the judges will pick her as a wild card because she will be "good tv."

I thought they were all horrible except Anoop and Danny....
