Group Sing -- "What a bitch!"

MISS FLORIDA LATINA IS JULISSA VELOZ NOT! TATIANA

I got so excited when I saw 3 seconds of Blind Scott's group rehearsing. The letdown, of course, was not seeing any more than that. I'm with you Chan; I would pay big money to see the full audition of that group. Since he's a virtual lock for top 12, I guess I'll just have to wait until the finals start. *sigh*

Tatiana did not disappoint as a Worster prospect. I think she has BPD (borderline personality disorder). She inflicted terror in both groups.

Nathaniel is just a drama queen looking for attention, mildly entertaining but a worster too.

Kristen Boobs played her cards right and stayed under the radar while Nancy implodes (plus her out of tune singing did not help).

I have not sympathy for Bikini Girl (her 15 minutes are gone) and the rest of her groupmates are boring (even dirty Rose Flack). Jasmine has some talent and is just ok.

I like the arrangement of White Chocolate but not too impressed with their singing. More fodder.

For a band vocalist, Emily Wynne-Hughes is very disappointing. Does not have enough neurons or maybe it's the drugs.

I'm beginning to smell the pimping of Danny Hokey to hide the plants. They even managed to hide Von Smith which I thought was not possible as he's always over the top. Michael (Jeremy) Sarver and Matt Breitzke are fodders.

I can't believe Nick Mitchell/Norman Gentle has the discipline to control himself in a group but he did it anyway. Good job!

Adam Lambert is here for the win. He's ambiguous enough (yeah right) to get female supporters but like Prof Chan, look out for sight-impaired Scott MacIntyre. These two will duke it out.

Since we know Scott is gonna make it through, what are people's predictions on how they handle the cheesy group numbers on elimination night?? I agree that the tiny bit they let us see was not comfortable to watch, so they seem to have three options: axe the group sings (awesome), have him look awkward on stage (VFTW awesome), or discriminate against him and sit him in a chair while others dance around him (oh, how they'd be massacred for that!). All I can say is GO SCOTT! His presence should make for some interesting television viewing.

It was a half hour into this so-called "singing competition" before anyone actually sang.

The show was devoted to self-absorbed, self-important screaming and crying drama or more or less how I behave when I wake up and think that it is Saturday morning for a few seconds before realizing that it is actually only Friday.

In the words of the late great Buddy Rich .....

"That's just high school jive ass bullshit!"

<p>Hey Guys,</p><p>Good morning.  I just wanted to address some of the points you guys brought up.</p><p> 1. Mom Couture -- Fixed it.  Thank you very much.  I'm shocked I could make such a simple mistake what with the millions of singers who whizz past us every night.  The frenetic editing this season makes The Bourne Identity look like The Seventh Seal.  Or Andy Warhol's Empire.  I'll keep making that reference until somebody gets it.</p><p> 2. Duke of Vandals -- I love Blind Scott.  I'm pulling for him.  Seriously.  He's actually talented.</p><p> 3.  Tantrum -- I think I caught 1 second of Kristin Boobs celebrating last night.  We're keeping our eye on her just so we can remember to vote... unless Tatiana is still around.  Oh, and my friend says she saw Emily Hughes working in a coffee shop in Silverlake. (here in Los Angeles)  I'm not kidding.</p><p> 4.  Moxie -- I've got my fingers crossed that they axe the group numbers but they'll probably axe Scott first.  However, I think the better solution, and what they'll probably do, is park him down in front of a piano every week.  He's won all sorts of piano performance awards.  He's really good.  Allegedly.  </p><p> 5.CitizenStrange -- See, this is what we miss when they cut the Hollywood weeks like they did the last two years.  It's ALWAYS been about tantrums and crying.  Remember that one season the Brittenum twins stole nearly three episodes by themselves before crashing and burning and getting arrested and kicked off the show?  For me, the Hollywood weeks are the MOST interesting weeks, because they show contestants interacting and real personalities come out.  During the Finals they revert back to their fake, airbrushed showbiz personas for marketing purposes.  Last night was as real as Idol gets. </p><p> --Chan </p>

Professor, Kristen Boobs is the girl with Nancy and Nathaniel. She just covered herself and saved her energy that's why she's unrecognizable.

I was DELIGHTED last night with the meltdowns. Sad to say good-bye to Bikini Girl but looking forward to more time with Miss Tatiana.

Thanks Prof Chan you nailed it.

Professor Chan ..... brother, you are preaching to the choir.

My only point was the hypocrisy involved when Idol refers to itself as a "singing competition."

With the preordained plants and hours spent televising bad singers and drama it is anything but that.

bad singing and drama = not singing

plants = not a competition

<p>Tantrum -- Seriously?  That's Kristin Boobs?  I was thinking of someone totally different.  I guess I need to stop calling her Really Big Mouth Girl.  And she's really dumb, to boot.  Yes!  </p><p>I think we can all agree that Idol is NOT a singing show, despite all of Simon's protests.  It has always been a Star Search-ripoff where the producers find someone they can exploit for big profits.  It is also a delusional, crazy person freak show.  And remember a good sob story trumps talent every day on Idol.</p><p> </p><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Chan </p>
