I turned my head to look at the computer screen...did Mantasia just fall down?

[Netizen]

I'm waiting to change the bag on my vacuum cleaner during Joshua's screaming duet with whoever.

I hope they do NOT bring Screamtasia back to sing with him. Here, have a barf bag. I'm sure it will come in handy at some point tonight.

[MagUSNRET]

I get it...the singing competition has morphed into the Black Guys Rhythmic Gymnastics competition.

[silent_jonny]

4 minutes into the show and I’m already confused.

[Jrabbit]

Howdy!

[retrokitten]

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars is in my workout playlist. I can’t help it! It really pumps me up on the elliptical.

[Manic_Episode]

Ha! Fail!

[Captain Beyond]

Here are some of The Notorious Rapper P.A.B.'s greatest hits.

P.A.B. Rapping on RedEye

The Notorious P.A.B. Rapping as Sith Lord Dark Hottiness

[RummyChick]

AI asked Pudsey the Dog (Cowell’s creation) if he would perform.

Pudsey turned them down. Too busy..hahahaha

[silent_jonny]

Berry Gordy is the father of the dude with the glasses.

And I think the other one is a nephew or a cousin or something. No mystery how they got a recording contract.

[MagUSNRET]

For those of you that will be missing me....I can be seen nightly M-F on the Levin thread...THANK ME very much!! ;-) LOL

[Netizen]

But, there will be celebrities, so he might enjoy it.

[retrokitten]

I will miss you, too! Here is a Peggy gif I don't think I ever used.

[peggybac]

Nice of you to dress up, Phil. s/

[Cudjo]

I thought this was on for an hour, Ryan just said 2 hrs, gonna be some real junk on

[retrokitten]

I know. It just sort of started.

[slugbug]

Peggy, for Phil that is dressed up! ;)

[Shelayne]

(((JONNY!)))

Did I see Joshua stumble, not once, but twice as he was demonstrating his dance "prowess"? And if so, did I laugh loudly? :^D

[patriotspride]

I turned my head to look at the computer screen...did Mantasia just fall down?

He tried some James Brown moves , but wasn’t Man enough to handle the
Stress of the attempted split.

[RummyChick]

THAT is dressed up for P2

[MagUSNRET]

YOu can see by her expression, that she raises ducks

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[retrokitten]

Good luck on your date!!

[RummyChick]

Can’t wait to rewatch Mantasia’s failed split

[silent_jonny]

The starts off immediately with a group song including all of the finalists except for Jessica and P2--and of course Jermaine Jones.

After the group song, the also-rans (dressed in white) form a line on either side of the stage stairs. The judges are introduced and high-five everyone on their way to the table.

Seacrest announces 132 million votes were cast last night. He then introduces the final two, Jessica and Forehead Vein.

The audience reaction is ... subdued.

[MagUSNRET]

I find it amusing, that, that scene is what I will forever remember Mantasia for......trying to do the line in Soul Train, and falling on his ass

[Netizen]

Anyone else having audio problems during the show and during commercials?

FR is slower than ever tonight.

[RummyChick]

Is P2 going to be forced to sing a melody for a change..or just leave it to Fogerty

[silent_jonny]

FOGERTY!

I hate "Fortunate Son", but I do like the guy's voice.

Sheesh, FR is slow again.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

WOW! John Fogarty really went overboard with the Grecian Formula, eh?

[retrokitten]

FR is extra slow tonight for me, too.

With all the great indie bands that P2 would fit right in with...who do they get for him to sing with....John Fogerty? Really???

[Mark was here]

I dont get the plad shirt with the scarf.

[patriotspride]

WOW! John Fogarty really went overboard with the Grecian Formula, eh?

And a little Botox.

[MagUSNRET]

“I see a baboon a risin.......There’s a bathroom on the right......................”

[Manic_Episode]

Haha! Fogerty was “pitchy”!

[MagUSNRET]

All kidding aside...what a kick for P2 to be able to sing with Fogarty

[peggybac]

Don’t the contestants have a say - I thought they picked they people they wanted to sing with. Remember Carrie Underwood and Rascall Flatts?

[RummyChick]

maybe the botox is giving him trouble with his singing

[silent_jonny]

Phillps has the first duet tonight--with CCR's John Fogerty. They sing "Have You Ever Seen The Rain".

P2: It's an honor to be on this stage with Mr. John Fogerty.

Another song! They crank-up "Bad Moon Rising". YEAH! Where was this kind of music last night?

The band (I presume they came with Fogerty) is pretty awesome too.

[MagUSNRET]

I think he is wearing the neck scarf, so hsi head doesnt completely slide off

[retrokitten]

I don’t know. But it wouldn’t surprise me if the cool indie bands shunned AI for the simple fact it is AI.

[patriotspride]

All kidding aside...what a kick for P2 to be able to sing with Fogarty

Win or lose PP can entertain.

Enjoyed it

[silent_jonny]

Hello! :)

So far, tonight's show is MUCH better than last night's. Better than the last few weeks, actually.

[retrokitten]

[twin2]

I ám making him watch but will not be able to comment much. The musician has some very snarky comments here.

[Netizen]

I’ll miss all of you. :) No other thread on FR is like this one.

[retrokitten]

LOL! I bet!

[RummyChick]

OMG...double screaming butchering Elton John

[peggybac]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it is Fantasia! MAKE IT STOP.

[Shelayne]

“There’s a bathroom on the right”—my hubby was just singing that same thing. Ha!

Oh dear LORD—WHAT IS SHE WEARING???

[MagUSNRET]

Ok, why the bleedin hell does Mantasia get to solo again???????
They better allow Hollie and Sklar to solo too!
Holy Mother of Chicken McNuggets! Mantasia is singin with Fantasia?????? GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!
