Even Blake Lewis wonders how he's still around...: Quote : Lowlight: Tim Urban. How did this guy get picked to stay on the show when people like Lilly Scott have to go home?! My main lowlight is that not a single person performing on that massive stage really gave a good “Rolling Stones” type performance

The funniest thing is that most of them seemed resigned to the fact that he'll be around for a while.

Looks like the so-called critics had their thesauruses stuck on "misogynist." Maybe they should give Tim a little break. He seems like a genuinely good kid just trying to find his way in this fucked-up world. Maybe a tad misguided and more than a bit naive, but how many of them weren't at that age? I'll take him over the lion's share of the rest of this cast any day.

I think SnarkFood has been watching too much Project Runway, with all the talk of "taste level" on there. As if all Americans should have the same taste. Speaking of taste, I do like the pasta/colander analogy. That was fairly clever and accurate. It's not like most contestants on American Idol don't, at one point or another, interpret a song's lyrics completely incorrectly. Why they're attacking poor Timmy, rather than the people helping him with the arrangement and those who put the groovy lights behind him though, I do not understand.

Quote "Slacking": I HATE slezak. He is such a sniveling, whiny little bitch. He's pimping Blowersucks and Glass-Girl like crazy this year. And seems to have special hate for Big Mike. Possibly because it's the male contestant he least wants to pork. Which is fine by me, one less body in my way... (TDC in no way endorses nor tards for Big Mike on AI. He just thinks Big Mike is hot. Andrew Garcia too. Oh yeah.)

Tim seemed genuinely shocked (again) when he was declared safe. This guy is teetering on the precipice. I can see the VFTW magic working for another week or two, but this guy is on borrowed time. Lacey was one of the "better" spare tires.......

You may love voting for Tim Urban for his deer in the headlight looks, his terrible renditions of songs, or his overall cluelessness. But the best reason to vote for him is that people just really seem to hate him. The Tim hate this week when he turned misogynistic "Under My Thumb" into a love song was even funnier than normal. Some highlights from around the web:
SnarkFood: The award for the biggest loser of the night absolutely goes to Tim Urban, American Idol’s idiotic replacement for eliminated contestant Chris Golightly. His reggae version of “Under My Thumb” was so nasty, we had to plug our ears halfway through and cry a little bit. If this guy isn’t gone this week, we have serious doubts about the sanity (and taste level) of the American public.
Michael Slezak from EW: Tim is a musical colander. The words spill forth from him with all the nuance and conviction of boiling pasta water running through a sieve and going down the drain, never to be thought of or contemplated again. To me, ''Under My Thumb'' was the craziest kind of unintentional comedy, a theatre of the bizarre in which Tim gets rewarded for delivering a disturbingly misogynist anthem by having hoardes of tween girls text their votes on his behalf — under parental supervision.
Vulture: Unlike Tim Urban, who decided to turn the misogynistic “Under My Thumb” into a reggae shuffle as if it were a fun song for a hotel resort’s tiki night. Tim enunciated the verses in a stilted fashion while the prominent background singers tried to distract from his almost speak-singing.
StarPulse: As for Urban, he’s just lousy. His only move is to look with the puppy dog eyes and sing with a very mediocre voice. It’s really no wonder he didn’t make the top 24. And that a cappella run near the end? That was something of an affront to the ears of America, and showed what Urban would do if he picked a song that required him to sing more than three notes.
Let's hope we helped save Tim for another week so we get more priceless quotes like these!
