Thanks edible. I've never read Gawker.

Lambo. Another funny nick. Adam brings it out in people.

Ah well. He's still my BAYBAY and I'd gladly be his hag, screech he never so loud.
Now this is more like it.

Well I agree with the Entertainment Tonight guy:

4. It's quite possible to win an entire season on the strength of a single note. I am, of course, referring to that insane, extended glory note at the end of Adam's ''Feeling Good,'' the one that reminded me of a glittery comet falling from the sky. Don't look away, people, because you never know when or if you'll get another opportunity to see/hear it. And (WHA?!) you certainly won't be privy to an encore on the Idol end-of-episode replays, which was clearly reflecting Adam's not-as-breathtaking dress-rehearsal rendition. I know I've brought this up before, but it bears repeating: If networks airing everything from football to baseball to tennis to figure skating can show us an almost instantaneous replay from live sporting events, how come the same technology can't be employed to make sure we see the live performance replays, and not dress-rehearsal footage, paired with those coveted 866-numbers?

Oh man, I love the drawings on that site edible. Nice.

I know my Idol. Although Matt's departure is ultimately no surprise (as usual, his swan song was possibly his finest performance), they're all good. Are they "make me go out and buy your CD good" is the question. Yamin, yes. Cook, yes. Daughtry, hell, yes. (And, damn, didn't Taylor sound good tonight?)

He looked good too. I always liked him. I backed him and Bo Bice. One and one. Hopefully Adam will take after Hicks. I'm pledging to actually pick up da phone.

I know it's too obvious...but I'd love to see Adam do "Bohemian Rhapsody" next week for rock week.

Bear in mind Constantine Maroulis already tried it, and was given mixed praise for his efforts, the smouldering looks into the camera being the negative. I'm kinda looking for GnR's "Welcome To The Jungle" instead.

Yes, Carrie beat Bo. They really are a talented bunch this year. It's weird though for me..usually I am all gungho about one of them. This year...I'd be fine with any of the remaining ones to be the winner.

Yeah, I'm not a little bit country. I'm going to go for the rock. Or, apparently this year, the theatrical.

I loved Constantine and his camera looks. I thought he did a good Bohemian Rhapsody but I'd like to hear Adam sing it too.
