jason, will you marry me?

my darling jason castro sang sting's "fragile" on tonight's american idol. despite what the judges say, i say, whoo hoo. a beautiful song choice.

poor carly continues to wear the dorkiest clothes and fall short of expectations. here's a thought: if you're going to wear sleeveless shirts every week, do some pushups. thank god this shirt wasn't anywhere near as horrific as the rose explosion last week. but the song -- "total eclipse of the heart" -- seemed perfect for her raspy voice. unfortunately, she wasn't up to it.

kristy lee finally made a good decision and chose a song that will get every red-blooded carrie underwood fan to vote for her -- "god bless the usa." it will probably earn her a reprieve from the bottom 3 this week.

when i heard david archuleta was singing "you're the voice," i sat down in front of the tv so i could see him prove all his hype to be justified. sadly, no. not only did the band turn up the tempo to make it seem like a disco hit, but david just couldn't come close to john farnham's vocals. and my dawg randy (and paula!) didn't even know the song. (shame!! my dawgs the sar and the kath laugh in their general direction.) not to mention whichever blog commented on his propensity for licking his lips -- that's all i can see now. i think tonight was a 5 lick song. buy some lip balm and break that bad habit, boy!!

my other darling michael johns rocked it with "we will rock you/we are the champions." disturbingly the theme was "pick a song from the year you were born." babies. all of them. excuse me while i go take my geritol.

david cook was solid but needs to smile a little and for god's sakes, do something with that hair already. brooke white was earnestly decent as well. and could her husband be any cuter? i fast forwarded thru syesha, but the judges seemed to like her.

and remembering all the pre-ordained winners -- sorry simon, but AMERICA will decide who wins this thing -- who's going home this week? my money's on carly or ramiele.
