It's time for the Top 3 and we get to see their hometowns tonight so get ready for lots of overweight people dressed like slobs. Here come the judges and J-Lo's wearing a pants suit from the Hillary Clinton line. The Top 3 come out and Joshua and Jessica are dressed like they're going to the prom, but VFTW pick Phillip is dressed like he's going to clean a toilet. There are three rounds tonight and for the first one the judges are picking the song that best fits the performer, and they hit a homerun by giving Joshua something from a black screechy diva who was relevant 40 years ago. Joshua's singing Etta James' I'd Rather Go Blind but with all his over-the-top melisma, I think I'd Rather Go Deaf. Or, as Joshua's singing, I-I-I Ra-Ra-Ra-the Go-Go B-B-B-B-BBBBB-BLIND!!!! And as it's Joshua, you can almost see the judges moving their chairs back in anticipation of giving him their mandatory standing ovation. But I'm not sure how much they're helping him by all celebrating how he's a throwback, something that could've been said about Taylor Hicks.

We got three doses of Phil tonight, which means three times the contorted faces, three times the grey and three times the WGWG! Everyone in The Phillipines has their dozen computers, phones and fake accounts ready to power vote for Jessica, so we must vote for Phillip extra hard!
The only song confirmed so far is Phillip doing the Matchbox 20 song. It's also confirmed our pick's going to be making faces during it like he's passing a kidney stone!
If you haven't already jumped on the Phillip Phillips bandwagon, you may be asking yourself, why should I vote for #wgwg5? Well, Phillip is saving the economy, that's why. Fox 31 South Georgia is reporting that Phillip's hometown visit actually made the Albany, Georgia area $550,000. That is astounding. What have Joshua and Jessica done to save the economy? Nothing. We also heard rumblings that Joshua caused the BP oil spill and that Jessica killed a bald eagle and laughed as it bled to death. So you know what to do - vote Phillip Phillips!
Two VFTW favorites, Casey Abrams and Jackie Tohn, clone themselves and perform as a fabulous foursome to the tune of "Can't Buy Me Love." Isn't it great how VFTW favorites always get to know each other and then do awesome stuff like this?
It's official: Demi Lovato has been named as the fourth judge on X Factor. If you're like me, you're asking yourself: Who the fuck is Demi Lovato to be judging a singing contest? All I know is she's a 19-year-old from the Disney machine and she likes to cut herself.
I get what Simon's trying to do but how will contestants like Stacy Francis and Leroy Bell feel about being judged by a 19-year-old? In any case, this is Simon's last chance because if this doesn't work, nothing will.
By the way Simon, next to your two new judges, you're suddenly looking very old.

As snarky as we are, this website obviously doesn't condone murder. And we like Jennifer Hudson, she's good people. So when Jennifer's mother, brother, and nephew were murdered, we were hoping the bastard who did it would be brought to justice. Today, the jury issued a verdict in the murder trial, and William Balfour, Jennifer's former brother-in-law, was found guilty of murdering Jennifer's family members. He now faces life in prison. May this help the Hudson family have some closure in this horrible tragedy.

So it looks like Hollie Cavanagh is finally toast. Not shocking, she never had any emotion in any of her songs. But we wanted to make sure our #wgwg5 made it into the top 3. As Steven said tonight, Phillip just doesn't care about anything. He half asses his performances. He skips the Ford commercials. He'll be the perfect winner if he can somehow sneak past the predetermined top 2 and get into the finale.
So now, it's up to us. Phillip must knock out either Joshua or Jessica next week. If he can do that, the judges, the producers, and America will be pissed. Get your dialing fingers ready for next week - we'll need to vote our asses off. But we can do it, Worsters. #wgwg5 FTW!
It's the Top 4 and you know things are getting serious as the judges shoved extra hard tonight on the contestants they want to throw under the bus. Randy looks like an ice cream vendor, one who ate their entire stock. Round 1 is songs from acts from California, people like Rebecca Black, Willow Smith and Katharine McPhee. Phillip is up first so we won't have to wait long to find out how the show is going to try to sabotage our pick this week. Phil seems to be really getting into the California spirit tonight as he's acting like he's smoked some of the state's finest herb. He's doing a CCR song and even five months into this show I'm still amused by how ridiculous the name Phillip Phillips is. Phil has no guitar for this performance so we get to see the best dancing on TV since Elaine on Seinfeld. Phillip is either trying to add as many Oo-Oo-Oos as possible to this song or he's just passing another one of his kidney stones. And Idol may have found its first star in about 6 years...Random Hot Saxophone Girl!
