Patricia Field's taste (or "taste") and resultant status are a completely mystery to me. At first I thought Siobhan was wearing argyle socks. Then it occurred to me they might have been lace-up sandals. I'm still not sure what was on her legs and feet.But I love Siobhan and her wacky clothes. She's not afraid to call the judges on their BS - last week over being categorized, and this week, saying it didn't matter who originally did the song. (And incidentally, Alan, I also despise that song with a hot flaming passion.)<br /><br />@amyuzanne, as usual, you're in head. I was thinking the exact same thing last night about Tim. His winning is not at all out of the realm of possibility.<br /><br />Casey is terrible at choosing good songs. I hate "Don't Stop" almost as much as I hate "When You Believe". He's not without talent, but it usually seems like a fluke if he's chosen something he's actually good at.<br /><br />I find myself rooting for Crystal and Lee most often. Crystal is, IMO, absolutely in a category by herself, but among the humans in the contest, I think Lee's the best.Maurahttp://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-73973642900480017832010-04-21T11:54:23.775-04:002010-04-21T11:54:23.775-04:00Echoing earlier anon - doesn't Idol have produ...Echoing earlier anon - doesn't Idol have producers to tell Simon that "I Believe I Can Fly," admirably written and originally performed by Aaron Kelly's brother R., WAS MADE FOR THE SPACE JAM SOUNDTRACK?<br /><br />I mean, SPACE JAM?!?!?! And yes, that soundtrack was certified 6x platinum. So Kara damn sure better be able to hear that song on the radio.SJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294185699092281031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-12130835177043239162010-04-21T11:46:59.317-04:002010-04-21T11:46:59.317-04:00I'm as big of a Mama Sox fan as you'll get...I'm as big of a Mama Sox fan as you'll get, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Lee and Siobhan take it to her in by the end of this thing.

The only thing that interests me less than watching these people is the idea of watching former losers who haven't made it come back for another shot. <br /><br />I don't hate Tim Urban at all and, tbh, even though he's not the greatest singer/performer/musician on the show I still don't think he's as awful as most seem to. He's cute, likable, decent enough singer and doesn't seem to be bothered by much of anything. That said, he needs to go as quickly as possible because if he's not cut soon he's going to win and that needs to not happen. If he cracks the top five we're all in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-76041957794136091172010-04-21T05:06:50.035-04:002010-04-21T05:06:50.035-04:00@Michael

I can't seem to find any evidence of it, so it's somewhat possible it may be a figment of my imagination, in which case, nobody's ever done well by that song. And apologies for dragging you into my delusion.<br /><br />Trish - The first year, "Idol Gives Back" was a "surprise" non-elimination results show. The second year, it was a stand-alone special and Michael Johns went home on a special Thursday Idol the next night. This year, the producers have promised they're sending somebody home tomorrow, charity-be-darned.<br /><br />-DanielDanielhttp://www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-6-the-fien-printnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-51261453614058719492010-04-21T01:48:19.138-04:002010-04-21T01:48:19.138-04:00Kara said "Thank you for putting your guitar ...Kara said "Thank you for putting your guitar down.

Don't pick anything too famous, or too obscure (God forbid we get anything that wasn't a Top 40 hit): make sure it is exactly the right amount of famous. And who cares if a song was in a comic book movie? It's not like "Hero" actually namedrops the guy.
