I wonder who would be hired if this happens?

The Final 2

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Tue, 25 May 2010 22:22:53 PST

ok, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo completely and totally clear tonight that Crystal is miles and miles and miles ahead of Lee that the show was just sad. She is ready. She is a star. He was a nervous schoolboy praying for it to be over.

How pathetic was it that the judges, ESPECIALLY Simon, had to resort to bringing up his background YET AGAIN, because they couldn't bring themselves to be as honest as they should have been about his pathetic showing tonight. It was a blowout from the word go, and if Lee wins, I'll friggin vomit! He is a Daughtry/Cook/ insert million just like em name here, whereas Crystal is a one of a kind original.

I doubt I'll watch next year anyway since Simon is leaving the show, but Lee winning would definitely be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Top 3: The Pimping of Lee

feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:04:27 PST

Casey's first song was weak, his second song --beautiful.

Crystal's first song was a little muddled, her second song -- amazing.

Lee's first song was not good to me. That's when I know the judges will cream, and they did. Second song -- fantastic, but you can't go wrong with a GOSPEL CHOIR.

Is another lite rock male rocker gonna win this thing? Ugh

Top 4

feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) — Tue, 11 May 2010 23:45:54 PST

Lee up first singing Kiss from a Rose. Kinda painful, and the steady-pimping judges kinda called him on it.

Big Mike was scattered on Will You Be There. Meh

Lee and Crystal duet the song from Once. Lee started crappy then got good. Crystal was excellent all the way thru.

And while I FF to the next performance, may I just say that I heard David Cook's new song on the radio today. It's OK, but it only confirmed myfeeling about Lee winning. We don't need another him on the radio. Sure he'd fit right in, Kara, but don't we want a new voice on the airwaves??? Here's hoping Crystal wins.

Top 7 Gives Back

The princess of R&B Alicia Keys is the mentor tonight. Here we go!

Casey singing Don't Stop. I thought he was good. Looked good too. Tanning salon? lol The judges no likey. Oh well.

Top 9, Take Away 2

feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:20:25 PST

Andrew, your time had come.

KATIE??????? Sure she was inconsistent but BOO to the fools who'd rather keep the new Jon Peter Lewis in the game. Turban is Sanjaya. He's John Stevens. He's awful. I don't care if he has a good "Tim" performance. Comparatively speaking, i.e., compared to EVERYone else, he blows! Can't you see?????????

Also, someone please tell Ryan he's wack.

Top 9, Take 2

feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:59:45 PST

Elvis night. Mentored by Adam Lambert. Should be good!

First up is Crystal singing Saved. Awesome as usual. Electrifying.

Andrew Garcia is #2. Houndog. In their mentoring session, Adam said it was boring. Yup. Sigh. And sayonara.

Week 7 Results - Cut to 8

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:46:18 PST

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think Simon is finally going to get his way. Mike and Andrew in the bottom 2 (what a total crock of shit), and I'll lay odds that after weeks of continuous dissing, it will be Andrew going home. How in the hell Tim and Aaron outlast either of these 2 is so far beyond my logical mind's ability to comprehend, it makes me physically ill.

Top 9 Do the Lennon/McCartney Songbook

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:23:03 PST

Gonna make this short, sweet, and to the point:

Aaron - meh the nerves are back and it showed. He did ok with it, but it was nothing more than average

Karie - good, solid, pretty vocal, but nowhere near Archie level (CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!)

Andrew - AWESOME! Kara, stfu! If she tells him one more time that she wants "more" from him, I'll reach through my screen and snatch her scrawny ass up by that pony tail and teach her a thing or 2 about the wide variety of vocabulary words at her disposal and how to give a TREU constructive criticism that allows artists to grow. Lord I can't stand her!

Mike - 1 word GOOSEBUMPS!!

Crystal - EXCELLENT!! Still her competition to lose. I LOVE her! She can do no wrong in my eyes.

Tim - meh - surprised at the praise. I think they're just tired of him

Casey - the best of the night?? ummm no While I agree it was heartfelt, the...

Week 6 Results - Cut to 9

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 22:26:29 PST

Well, as predicted, Didi went home, and sad to say, after last night, she deserved it.

I still don't get all the Lee love at all, but hey, that's me, lmao

We now have 6 guys vs 3 girls. Something tells me this will buy Katie a lot longer time on the show than she may have had, but we shall see.

I have a theory about what is going on with certain contestants (2 in particular), but I'm going to wait until I see what happens next week before I let myh idea fly to get others' opinions. hehe

My prediction is that we will see Tim, Aaron, and either Andrew or Katie on the 3 stools next week with either Tim or Aaron going home... we'll see if that changes after next week's performances from the McCartney/Lennon songbooks.

Top 10 do R&B with USHER!!!!

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:00:39 PST

ok, first off, I just have to say... USHER!!!!!!!! drool, pant, *sigh* okok, I'm trying to collect myself, lmao

Siobhan - atypically sharp and just plain rough all the way around

Casey - meh, I'm over the Ellen and Kara love for him

*edit to add* Big Mike (my God, I can't believe I forgot him either! lol) - in a word SMOOTHE!!! So touching and heartfelt, WOW!

Didi- eeeeeeeeeeeeek

Tim - only one word comes to mind: SMARMY

Andrew - YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!! He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Katie - she's no Diana DeGarmo

Lee - best of the night Ellen? Hell no! lmao It was solid, yes, but best in any category? NO! I'm almost shocked at Simon being on the Lee train, but he knows there's a long way to go and he doesn't want to always come across as Crystal's personal producer (which I'm sure he would love to be. He sees dollar signs when it comes to her, you can feel...

Week 5 Results - Cut to 10

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:15:30 PST

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:52:29 PST

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more whiney ass nasal singing Lacey to have to suffer through!!!! lmao

Thank you for having Paige at the bottom right along with her, boot her then Tim, in that order, and I'm a happy camper

Top 12

feeds@kickapps.com (Big Toe) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:45:09 PST

Started watching late. Will rewind when it's over...

Siobhan reminds me of one of my all-time favorite artists, Sinead O'Connor. A pretty voice and a powerful, scary voice. She was pitchy a here and there but my god she can cut through you like a chainsaw. lol

Katie killed it. She was so so good!

Lacey bored me to tears. Can she please leave already?

Missed Lee.

Paige was great!

Aaron wa amazing. Born to frigging sing.

Week 3 Results - and your Top 12 are........

feeds@kickapps.com (binky) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:59:16 PST

Interestingly, DialIdol has Paige and Katie at the bottom for the girls and Lee and Todrick at the bottom for the guys! WHOA!

The shocker would be Lee going tonight. The girls are obvious, but Todrick maybe didn't build up enough of a fanbase in the previous weeks to have last night save him, and maybe, just maybe, there are others out there like me who feel about Lee the way I do. hmmmmmmmmm Should be an interesting show tonight. BUT... it IS Thursday, so I will probably DVR it while watching my regular Thursday night line-up and comment on the top 12 late tonight or early tomorrow.

Top 8 Guys 3-10-9

Well I've missed most of this season, just haven't gotten into it, but I just listened to Tim Urban sing and I thought he had an awesome voice. First time I've heard him sing and it was pretty dang good.

THANK GOD HAELEY IS GONE!!!! My ears don't have to bleed anymore! roflmao, and DJ, YES, she is THAT bad!

I'm not surprised Michelle is gone, last night was downright dreadful, but I still think it should have been Lacey.

Finally on track with the guys too, John and Jermaine both deserved das boot... now if only we could get rid of Alex and Tim, we'd have a solid competition on our hands, hehe

Not sure about the department store name but I think it was Nieman-Marcus in L.A. He was arrested & charged with identity theft. The article didn't mention if he used someone else's check or credit card. OOPS! Store clerk recognized him from AI.
