i forgot to cross-post this from mm last night.

so it’s the big night. the final cut to get us down to 24. that means far fewer annoying people! woohoo! let us pray that the Brittenums are included.

wow, they’re cutting a bunch of people right up front. how are they gonna make a whole hour out of this?

all the contestants are shocked and acting sad, but you know they’re all going, “yes! they got cut! it wasn’t me who got cut!”
wow. that Crystal Stark girl is so beautiful. i didn’t enjoy her a capella bit that they showed, but she’s very classy and graceful.

Katherine McPhee. she made it. please, quickly, get out of the room before you become annoying! alrighty, so she’s most thrilled that she got to kiss all the judges on the lips. more thrilled about that than the making the top 24.

Ace Young. he looks like Kelly Clarkson. he made it.
Eugenia. she thinks she’s peaked at 26. i sing much better now than i did 3 years ago, but maybe that’s just me and all those other artists who get better with age. oh no, i just lumped myself in with the aged. i’m so old. anyway, she’s gotten incredibly annoying.
Robert Bennett Jr. you know that likeability factor they said you have? you know how to keep it? stop actin’ a fool, and just smile quietly. pretty please?
Mandisa. ok, i like Jesus girl. she’s precious. and she got Simon to apologize for the fat comments. good for her. did y’all notice how she even said “bottom” and not “butt” when she walked out? good girl.

Lisa Tucker. oh good, i like her. and her mom doesn’t seem obnoxious!

David Radford. he’s humming Gob’s magic act song! i love it! ok, i remember him now. i liked him in the very beginning when he crooned. when he made it past the group auditions i was shocked, because he does not do pop well. but hearing him croon again… i love crooners so much. i’m glad he moves on, even though i wasn’t glad last week. i hope he wows us next week.
Jose Penala and Eliot Yamin (is he Joooish?) are through to the next round.

Brenna Gethers. wow, is she all breast? y’all were all noticing that, i’m just the one who said it. i bet i’m not gonna like her. not because of the breasts, but because she reminds me of snobby cheerleaders. and no, a cheerleader never stole my boyfriend. (or if it happened, i was too traumatized by it to remember.)

Gideon McKinney. he seems interesting, should be fun. he did seem confident, but not Brittenum “i am the Messiah” confident. ok confident.

Stephanie Scott. i like her high notes, but when she gets below about the A above middle C, she warbles way too much. but a lot of people like warblers, so she’ll probably do well. wow, she really is praying mantis tall (i don’t mean that as an insult).

Ayla Brown. she’s got a great voice. another tall one.

lol, Chris Daughtry got stuck in the elevator. i’m sorry, that’s mean. if that was me stuck in the elevator, i’d have been panicked. absolutely panicked. yay! he’s in. very well-deserved. i forgot he’s married.

Rebecca O’Donohue. just hearing her sing in the a capella part tells me she made it.

Heather Cox. have we even seen her?

William Bucky Covington. my goodness, why have they kept him a secret? thank goodness it’s not a mullet, under the hat it looked like a mullet. i figured that’s why the secret. anyway, the second i heard him singing i put him through to the final 12 guys. because see, i can do that in my little lovely and talented world of SarahK.

Patrick Hall. he’s not as confident as he lets on. but that was funny. “i’m not as pretty as Ace, but who is?” that’s so true, that Ace boy is Kelly Clarkson.

Kevin Covais. Simon, i’ll be sooooo mad at you if you don’t put him through. like send you tough love mail with a 39-cent stamp mad. YAY!! he deserves to be there with those pipes.

Paris Bennet. there’s no God if she doesn’t make it to the top 12. whew! if she didn’t make it i was gonna have to find a new religion. thank goodness.

of course! House M.D. is doing really well, so it’s time for the monkeys at Fox to destroy it. “for one week only” they have a special night. Monday night next week. and then suddenly we’ll catch the series finale on a Friday night. monkeys. you’re all fired.

the Brittenums. “our behavior has been absolutely flawless.” yeah, ok, felons (allegedly). i really hope the judges wouldn’t have made the mistake of letting them stay if they hadn’t been, you know, alleged felons.
Kelly Pickler. oh goodness, i hope she gets smarter between now and next week.

Taylor Hicks. HE PLAYS THE HARMONICA TOO! IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH HIM?? i really heart him. Simon, how can you not like him?

Kinnik Sky & Megan Bobo. i really like Megan better just hearing the clips they played. that one note from Kinnik gave me an earache. but it’s not always the best part that they show.

William Makar & Syd Harcourt. oh yeah! the Fred Savage lookalike! i’m sorry, but Syd looks too much like Vin Diesel. and Makar is through to the top 12 guys.

overall, i’ll say good pickin’ by the judges. but next week we all get to vote for Paris and Taylor and Chris.

i wanna hear about your suntan.
