The judges choose Madcon's "Beggin". Not familiar with this one, but it's fast-paced. And the forehead vein is in full effect.
Loudest, most sustained applause so far tonight. All Ferlies.
"He was singing to me!"
Steven: Can you believe this guy!?
J-Lo: You catch a groove in these songs and you ride it all the way home. That was great.
Steven: I'm hoping you write your songs because you could be a new age Boss, a new Springsteen.
Randy: We were just at the Phil Phillips concert, ya'll. You were in the zone. You take the challenge. That was another incredible performance. You are who you are and we love it!
Under pressure from Seacrest, the judges pick the winners of round #1.
Randy: Joshua
J-Lo: P2
Steven: I'm still on the fence.
I think they listen to the rehearsal and take notes. At least, Paula used to. Remember Jason Castro, the contestant with the dreadlocks? I remember a time when she gave him a bad review on a song he hadn't even sung yet. Turned out Paula had gotten confused and accidentally read her notes from the rehearsal!
I was thinking more “The Great Pumpkin”
Haven't we suffered enough?
I remember that! What a HOOT!
I miss Pauler......AND SIMON!
Just a bit more of the gay agenda...as if we have not had enough already........and a bit of loser (Lisa Marie)...so we can hold on to a shread of hope that Obammy will likewise be a big LOSER in Nov
LOL!
Evening SJ, All....
As always, thank you SJ for doing this thread.
Question.............Joshua is from N’Awlins.........his name is obviously French-—so he may have Creole blood.....OK....that being said...why does he pronounce his name “La Debt” and not “Le-dey”?
Discuss
Randy’s Mardi Gras glasses look like something he’d wear normally.
Joshua has the in-ear monitor on this time. He did that first song with no monitors.... which is crazy amazing. I’m not a big Joshua fan... but that was incredible.
LOL!
PUKE PUKE DOUBLE PUKE!
Joshua: They are treating me like I am Barak Obama”
Oh for the love of GAWD,,,,,GET A GRIP!!!!!!!
Yuck, Obummer just had to come up.
Well, hell, Barak’s as gay as Joshua.
After seeing a cheering crowd, a bewildered Joshua says, "They're acting like I'm Barak Obama."
But unlike Obama, Joshua can fill a stadium.
LMAO!
LMAO! BRILLIANT!
Maybe Josh and Obama can do a duet when he’s out of office in January.
I was just going to post the same thing! The stadium is packed for Joshua. Bet Barak wishes he could come in from behind, no pun intended.
No kidding.
And Joshua making reference to the big festering pimple on Pennsylvania Avenue decided it for me. (say this part with his lisp) He is so over.
As much as I am cracking up at the over the top spectacle that is the Joshua homecoming, it is kind of touching to see his family and town so happy.
Toss Tyler in, too!
After watching that....I am drawn back to how VERY Humble and tearful the country kid (name escapes me) was, when he went home last year......
One thing you gotta say about it...ya cant “fake humble”!
Scotty! Thats the one...........my memory isnt a blank slate afterall ;-) LOL
You know what would be great, if we could get through ONE SEASON without the stupid hippy anthem!!
This is butchered....
Curious choice for the preacher's son. Hey, dude!
That tune only sounds good if you are stoned.
LOL
And THAT is why you are the host. You are quick witted! :)
That was not good... if he had a white jump suit with a sash... and a nice deep voice... that could have been an Elvis version.
Hahahaa!
OK, why would someone who claims to be a man of faith sing a song about imagining there is no Heaven—it’s easy if you try??
Not to me. No no no. That would be HORRIBLE! I would have to change the words or work around that. Just ugh.
JOSH sings in all caps.
I may have to consider re-locating to Indonesia...it seems they have more common sense than most Americans LOL (Im KIDDING! Lots of Muslim crapolla in Indonesia, and Im not all that excited about wearing a Burqa
LOL
Steven is wearing black nail polish...for real? Can we get any gayer tonight?
LOL!!!
Scotty McCreery?
Am I the only one that thinks if I were to wear that JLO perfume...that I would attract dogs and homeless twentysomethings that think they can dance?
they look a little too scratchy/itchy to me. And if I can't at least take a bedazzler to it, it is NOT going on me! ;^)
Round #2 is Contestant's Choice. Joshua chooses John Lennon's "Imagine". (Speaking of kitchen breaks) This atheist anthem seems like an odd choice for a "son of a preacherman".
But he's not screeching. For that, I give it a marginal ...
Steven: Joshua it was beautiful. Another Thank You, God moment. You are so fine!
J-Lo: A pulled back and controlled performance. It was almost like you were preaching while you were singing. You have an incredible instrument. The way you dig deep into the music and the meaning, that's what makes you special. Courage and strength.
Randy: Everything you sing should touch you and mean something. Every time you sing people feel what you do. Pulled back but still gave us a little Josh at the end.
As I recall, David Archuleta, a Mormon, had to sing that song, too, but he removed the worst of the lyrics. So it could be done.
LMAO what a great halloween costume..a Bedazzled Burqa!

I dare the homosexual activists to go after the Muslims the same way they go after the Christians and Mormons (death threats and all). “Homophobes” vs “Islamophobes”... LOL.
Love the subliminal message to VOTE PHILLIP after Joshuas song LMAO!
I like Buscemi. I especially like when he sings He’s got the Whole World in His Hands, in the movie ConAir.
Wish we got that Boardwalk show.
Evening jonny. Following via cell phone internet.
Not able to watch show so appreciate summary etc by you / al
I was thinking the same thing when Joshua first started singing it, “surely, he won’t...” But he did. Sellout.
I was proud of the little Monchichi for rearranging that song when he sang it.
