(i&#39;m kinda embarrassed to admit that, but it&#39;s true.) and i agree, siobhan and crystal seem to be the only ones hungry ... bringing their &quot;a&quot; game. i mean, katelyn seemed as if she could have given two s**ts less!<br /><br />i&#39;m not going to comment any further on k. steves. i think we have beat her to a pulp. <br /><br />is too late to switch up the contestants and bring back some hollywood rejects?

She will go and I think Paige will be close on her heels. <br /><br />OMG..talk about yawners?! I have to say that even though Lacey&#39;s song was a s-l-o-w one also, I thought her stage presence and voice, were noteworthy! <br /><br />Love Siobhan, but come on......that dress with THAT song!? Only complaint there.<br /><br />Lilly didn&#39;t impress me with that Patsy number. I love the mandolin but it just didn&#39;t work. She needs to be grabbing that mic and workin&#39; the crowd. <br /><br />I was *almost* drooling on my recliner, when they announced Chrystal would be playing electric guitar and doing a Tracy Chapman tune. OMG.....I actually sat up quicker than my dog does for a piece of chicken. She did not disappoint. I love her naturalness, and quiet respectful manner, besides the fact she ROCKS! I was however worried, when she sat down immediately after. She must not have felt well to do that, huh? <br /><br />It reminds me when I first saw Janis Joplin perform on TV. I thought &quot;now THIS is what I&#39;m talkin&#39; about.&quot; (yes i actually created that expression) <br /><br />Truly, if it wasn&#39;t for Chrystal, I don&#39;t think I&#39;d still be watching.<br /><br />Judges: Randy was Randy, Ellen has loosened up and came up with some funny comments, Kara should wear a sweater if she has to sit that close to Simon for warmth. Simon makes me think that he doesn&#39;t like Karaoke but seems okay with Karacuddling.Connoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703294835941399768.post-7897851312533279522010-03-10T13:02:02.318-05:002010-03-10T13:02:02.318-05:00I basically agree with all your thoughts about the ladies last night, I was once again less than impressed with the effort of most of them, and at this point in the show they should already have stepped up their game. To me, there are only two ladies in this competition that are any good, and heads above the rest. Crystal and Siobhan are the only two girls who have consistently brought their &quot;A&quot; game every week. As for the other girls, I don&#39;t know if they are just not as good, or just fail to pick songs that show of their vocals better. I really think that all the other girls still have it in them to give Crystal and Siobhan a run for their money, but they need to figure it out real quick. I was very disappointed with Paige Miles last night, she chose a great song, but the moment she started singing it, I said to my husband that it sounds like a hotel performance, and low and behold Simon said the same thing. She really took a huge step back last night. Lilly&#39;s performance was a little weird for me last night, I know what she was trying to do, but I didn&#39;t think she took an old song and made it new, I thought it was kind of corny, she&#39;s kind of cutting edge for me, and the whole playing the mandolin and singing an old song just didn&#39;t fit for me. I hope she stays around though, because I think she has the right idea about how to be unique artist, she just needs to work on the vocals. I have the same problem with all the other girls. They have the vocals, to me they just choose songs that are too simple, that don&#39;t show their vocals, I am so frustrated to see these girls that I know have strong voices take the safe route week after week. Thank goodness for Crystal and Siobhan. I&#39;ll be curious to see what the guys do tonight.<br />ccarlton<br />March 10, 2010<br />08:53 AM PSTccarltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703294835941399768.post-72347925248976651622010-03-10T11:32:16.168-05:002010-03-10T11:32:16.168-05:00Yes – I get this sense too – a bit of “un-self-awaredness” (not a word) coming across. <br /><br />Katie’s a weird one. With all the heavy early pimping, I easily had her pegged as a judge’s darling, and, with some pretty impressive Hollywood Week performances, she seemed like a strong early favorite. But wow – pretty much all of the last three performances have been pretty bad. Just very dated performances and song choices – no sense of musical identity, and no real connection to any song. <br /><br />No way I can see her lasting much longer than this week, if that. She’s kinda become the Lil Rounds of the season – as an early favorite who fell fast because of a lack of musical identity.Mary 102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703294835941399768.post-68137169358479968332010-03-10T11:30:37.472-05:002010-03-10T11:30:37.472-05:00Oh Katie Stevens. Begging us to vote for her, all cutesy ..., <br /><br />And I think it’s even worse than this, actually. Not only is she not ready, she has absolutely no idea that she’s not ready and no idea what she needs to do to become ready.

But I&#39;ll think of something..... ;¬)<br /><br />You got it right, E.....Chrystal &quot;Tough Cookie&quot; Bowersox made me proud to be a woman. No whining, no sassy backtalk, no uncomfortable &quot;oh WHY did you say THAT?&quot; moments from me. I love her calm self confidence. I did NOT notice she was missing at the end. Oh Mama, please be okay. Perhaps she was just bored and checked out early??<br /><br />Lily came in second and I think she has a lot of the same self confidence and &quot;I am what I am&quot; attitude as Chrystal. I love that. It&#39;s about the music for those two. I&#39;m sure that right before the show they are focused on the ol&#39; voicebox and not the shoebox or flowered headbands, or which balled up Kleenex dress looks great with skinny jeans. <br /><br />Oh...... the flowered one. Perhaps Haeley is channeling Niecy Nash and should go counsel and organize hoarders and their homes while she grows into her voice. I think she has talent but is too young. I think she will go tonight.<br /><br />Katie will go too. I think she hit the library right after the show to see what Simon was talking about. <br /><br />Didi bugs me too. First she has NO stage presence and moves around the stage like a skinny Big Bird. I can&#39;t lean on her. She may last another weak though.<br /><br />I think Siobhan is cute and has a cool tone to her voice. Seeing she did the mohawk at one time, inched her a little higher in my rebel fanbook.<br /><br />Ellen remarked that Piano Girl put her to sleep. That performance gave me time to go make a cup of chai, let it steep properly, and get back before judges&#39; comments. Her performance and the hot tea gave me a great night&#39;s sleep though.<br /><br />Let&#39;s talk about the judges. If you are a student of body language, what is Kara&#39;s body saying up there? Could she SIT any closer to Simon? Does she really want him, as Ryan asked? Is she afraid of Ellen? Does she think because Ellen is Lebanese, she needs to avoid all contact? All the girl power hoopla is so noticeably absent with Ellen. Not that I (OR Ellen, I&#39;m sure) want that to come back. I&#39;m just sayin&#39;. ;¬)<br /><br />Here&#39;s hoping Kara loses the coon skin cap tonight.<br /><br />What? That was her hair, you say?<br /><br />Oh.Connoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703294835941399768.post-72832035574888133952010-03-04T08:40:27.254-05:002010-03-04T08:40:27.254-05:00Trying this again (speaknig of kinks). ;¬)<br /><br />I said: OH SHE PERFORMED!<br /><br />Then I said I;d wait until your recap to comment on the girls.

It was a little more &quot;real&quot; a little more &quot;up&quot;..........of course, there was no where to go but up, right? The judges, especially Brit Boy were a little less critical, or should I say rude, and a little more constructive with his critiques last night. He had me when he said he&#39;d go to church with Jermaine. I know he was lying through his perfect teeth but.......it was &quot;nice&quot; anyway.<br /><br />(Jermaine has that whacky Sanjaya type personna and I think he&#39;ll stay to sing another weak. &lt;-----yes i know. i meant that.)<br /><br />Ellen at least looked a little less tense. She did use &quot;push&quot; again...and again.....but she actually had some input when Jermy (or WAS it Todrick?) asked them what to sing. I think that shocked Randy. The Dawg told America that he too made up his own language. Why does that not surprise ANYONE? <br /><br />Kara didn&#39;t annoy me. That&#39;s always good. Being honest with Casey did want me to give her a ^5..... NOT A GIRL POWER ONE.......a WTG acting less cougar-y kind.<br /><br />Big Mike put on his best performance last night, but claiming &quot;It&#39;s a Man&#39;s World&quot; won&#39;t get him the feminist vote. ;¬)<br /><br />Mullet Boy did surprise me. He needs to practice some relaxation techniques before he performs next time.<br /><br />Andrew, whahappened man? Maybe you should try out for &quot;So You Think You Can Dance&quot;!<br /><br />I like &quot;Pinky Lee&quot;. Oddly, I was distracted during his performance and just listened. Sounds like that was a good idea on my part. Your pink eye remark made me LOL!<br /><br />Cocky Casey went too far this week. After disrobing for try-outs, I didn&#39;t think that was possible to do. What do you think is in his secret box? I say mirrors.<br /><br />John can&#39;t sing? I&#39;m sorry I am always so distracted by that gorgeous head of black silky hair, I never noticed his voice.<br /><br />OH PLEASE GIRLS........rock the house tonight. Give E and I something to talk about. <br /><br />Now I shall watch the Adam video ONE more time! ♡Connoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703294835941399768.post-38067395111523421812010-03-01T09:26:00.732-05:002010-03-01T09:26:00.732-05:00I thought I was the only one who noticed that Ashley flipped the b(#*&amp; switch BIG TIME!

Right now I&#39;m a bit turned off because of Kara&#39;s obsession over him, and I&#39;m sure others are too.
