Have you noticed that Ryan has become a revival preacher, this year? He starts every sentence now with, "Friends.." It's really fucking creepy.

I don't really get why Randy Travis barely showed up for his own duet. Maybe he caught Megan's bug?

I hope my husband didn't delete this because now I have to go back and review a lot of the things I missed that were noted by Worsters: the piano still playing after Scott got up and verifying who lifted Megan onto the piano to name a few! I ask myself why I indulge myself in such insignificant tv bullshit every week but it makes the otherwise mundane human existence much more bearable in light of all the horrendous nightly news that's out there!

Last week while watching with my 3 and 7 year olds, I noted that Matt had a mole smack in the middle of his forehead. This week when he was performing my 3 year old looked at him and pointed to her own forehead and said, "he has a booboo!' Pretty meaningless but I thought funny that she remembered that about him from a week ago. She then just laughed.

I found this article in the UK Press about the X Factor winner. Seems his been dropped by his label like a hot potato. Funny that he is billed as Dannii's protege. Maybe a little bit of shady voting/fixing over the pond? Too bad these aren't aired in the States, it would be funny to compare the two shows. I guess they could be found on youtube.

If you click the link you can see the accompanying photos to article with a nice one of Simon's chest hair. Does he get more dressed up for his UK countrymen? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1163204/Axe-falls-X-Factor-winner-Leon-Jackson-hes-dropped-record-label.html

"Axe falls on X Factor winner Leon Jackson as he's dropped by record label"

While Leona Lewis has soared to great heights and can now command £1million for a performance, not all X Factor winners are destined for such greatness.

Dannii Minogue's protégé Leon Jackson, who was crowned victor two years ago with full fanfare, was unceremoniously dumped from his record label Sony yesterday.

The 20-year-old released just one album, Right Now, which only made it to a rather unimpressive No. 3 in the charts with 130,000 copies sold.

Dream is over: Leon Jackson, who won X Factor in 2007, has been dropped by his record label

Simon Cowell had his doubts about Leon's ability through the competition and instead backed runner-up Rhydian Roberts to win the 2007 final.

He recently said Leon lacked star quality: 'If you are going to be a star, you need to have steel in your eyes. I don’t think last [Leon] had steel in his eyes.'

And it seems the X Factor now feels vindicated by the decision to drop the singer from the label.

Vindicated: Simon Cowell did not back Dannii Minogue's protégé to win

A source close to Cowell told The Sun: 'He thought the most talented person should have won. That was never Leon and what has happened since has proved him right.

'Leon's a good lad, but he's definitely not set the world alight.'

Leon appears to be doing his best to take the blow in his stride.

He said: 'I had a great year and learned so much recording and releasing my album. Every artist knows these things can go either way.

'I'm really looking forward to my tour and doing more writing.'

Nice Avi, Cyanide.

P.S. I don't think Allison was one of the three who got the lowest votes. I think the producers just put her down there for drama. Also love the judges roundtable when they were discussing if they would keep Alex while she was performing. It seemed like she was screaming louder at them as if to say, "Listen to me listen to me!" and they just kept on talking not paying attention. I would love if some of the people seated in those front rows would come forward with any comments they might hear from the judges that the viewers don't.

Paula could not keep her hands off Simon. You know they are flinging somewhere after the show! Kara and her definitely hate each other. It's all in their body language. Kara's always slightly turned towards Randy and Paula towards Simon, they never make eye contact and rarely speak to each other.

I've never wacthed Idol until yesterday and it sucks.... the only one who is worth listening to is Adam i think thas his name........ hes hot but he's gay... Why the hell is all the hot guys GAY!! explain that one to me

I agree about Brad Paisley. He's a smoking hot guitar player and could have easily done one of his up-tempo numbers and really ripped it up. But rather, he did a boring slow number. Total yawns-ville!!

Carrie Underwear looks horrible with that new haircut. Kinda like Dolly Parton from 1975.

And poor Randy Travis. Great singer, but WTF was up with that duet?!? Not to mention, the poor guy looks really unwell. Does he have teh aids?? Looked like there was some serious lipoatrophy going on there (face melting syndrome).

All in all, this show sucks and I don't know why I waste my time watching it?

He was probably told not to upstage Carrie.

<i>Where was Scott during the balloon fight?</i>

I think I saw him at the end. When they were chasing the car at the fade-out, you could see Blind Pew stumbling along trying to figure out where to throw his balloon.

<i>Seacrest holds up a soggy water balloon</i>

I thought Seacrust was going to tell Alexis to dirty up and get implants.

hahaha Glambert, i LOVE it!

when oh WHEN are they going to have blind scott driving an SUV during their ford skit? that would be as priceless as a blind high-five!
