^^^Good call, Michael Johns should definitely have done Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band tonight.
I loved David Cook and Chikezie tonight, Simon was harsh on Chikezie, but I loved seeing him do the bluegrass thing after tearing it up last week. He's got a lot more range than I would have thought. And I of course recognize that little David A. is incredibly talented, but he's such a shoo-in for a big record deal that I almost don't bother following him.
I could still live very happily without the sunny girl (blonde) and the Castro kid with the horrible facial contortions. I'm not big on Carly either, again, she can definitely sing but I'm just not a fan of hers (just like last season with Katharine McPhee, sure, she can sing, but she bugged the bejebus out of me for no particular reason).

Nittany...
I think we are somehow separated at birth.
I never got the McFever (bleh) last year and everyone thought I was crazy. I am now hearing the same shock when I indicate that I am not totally on board with this Carly chick.
With Carly, there is some vocal precision there, but she just doesn't connect. I think the problem both of them have is there does not seem to be any "soul" in them. Not soul as in rhythm, but soul as in that which makes us more than 2 dimensional human beings.

Blondie, I have had this same thought on more than one occasion after reading your posts! 
Hope you feel better soon and hope your hubby brings you something big and shiny to make up for the week you've had!!

Yes, that's it! I'm sure Carly is a perfectly decent young woman, but she leaves me cold.
I've only watched about half of the show so far, but I'm already left with the following questions:
Is it week two of "Lennon/McCartney" songs, or week one of "The Beatles" songs? I mean, if AI cleared 25 Beatles songs, there are still over 150 songs in the official catalog that could have been theoretically chosen--not counting Harrison compositions that made it to official release.
Now, if it is week two of Lennon/McCartney, I'm still stuck trying to figure out when either of them wrote "Here Comes The Sun"? Anyone? Anyone?

This week, they opened up Harrison's songs, too. He wrote HCtS. So, it's week two of L/McC with Harrison's songs thrown in just this week.

Thank heavens. I was fast forwarding and hoped I missed something vs. TPTB thinking Lennon/Macca wrote HCtS!

Ohhhh.  I think most people on GC know that I'm a huge (HUGE) Mariah fan. She might be crazy but she can sing. I think it'll be interesting to see how she interacts with the contestants. She's a little loopy but she has always been great to her fans.
I'm looking forward to Andrew Lloyd Webber too. He's a legend.
