Who should go home Thursday: Danny Noriega and Garrett Haley.

That would be great!

The Jailhouse Rock guy is officially "The Lesbian Phoebe Cates" LOL

Danny is a bit prettier...:)

[Netizen]

I think Carly has the flu.

[silent_jonny]

I think he looks a lot like another Luke

Here's one of those loveable highschoolers from "Springfield Heights 90210". He's cool. He's Hip.

He's 34 years old!

:)

[andyssister]

Good for him he got kicked off when he did. :)

Absolutely. He's had more commercial success than anyone else from that year. (I think)

[silent_jonny]

You just know Brett got a new wig this season.

Looks like the wig is attached to the bandana.

"The Lesbian Phoebe Cates"

LOL!

[retrokitten]

LMAO! I love that guy.

[silent_jonny]

(David Cook) He also seems to have an attitude. In my bottom 2

I don't care for him either. He's tries to have this "too cool for school" attitude, but it just makes him look like an ass.

I think he'll survive this week, but hopefully he'll be gone soon.

Danny Noriega - I agree with Simon. He’s an okay singer, but I hate the attitude and could he be anymore gay?

LOL--Only a crossdresser could out-gay Noriega.

[retrokitten]

LOL!!! I saw a picture of Luke recently. I prefer to remember him as Dylan McKay.

[Wolfstar]

LOL at that pic of Paula. She topped even her own previous lunacy last night. :)

[retrokitten]

LOL! You aren’t going to try and convinceme to adopt it like David Duchovney, are you?

[silent_jonny]

Colton Berry, Danny Noriega SUCK!!!! no pun intended.

LOL

I agree--neither are that good, especially Noriega.

But the weakest and most forgettable singers will be eliminated first. They're both probably safe this week.

[retrokitten]

He could come out with his own line of wigs like Raquel Welch and Dolly Parton.

[Wolfstar]

That would be great!

We can only hope. Noriega and Haly were definitely -- and by far -- the worst last night. But this wouldn't be Idol if the genuinely bad actually got kicked off before others who deserve at least one more chance, so I expect at least one of these two twits to hang on longer than he should.

Noriega was so far off the timing of the song that I'm almost shocked none of the judges mentioned it. I say almost, because their silliness makes it impossible to expect more from them. Simon was right, though. That performace was ghastly. I don't know what Randy heard that he could find anything to praise in that performance. As for Paula, well, maybe she was hearing baby lavender blue at the time.

Going into ladies’ night, my two faves are Brooke White (who I doubt will win it all, but she’s adorable nonetheless) and Syesha Mercado (fought through sickness in Hollywood to make it this far, is adorable as well, and has a good chance to make it all the way to the finals).

[Wolfstar]

He's had more commercial success than anyone else from that year. (I think)

You're right. Daughtry is the fourth most successful American Idol alumnus to date (after Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Clay Aiken). He's the most successful person who was not in the finale. Kellie Pickler, from that season, is finding some success in the Country genre, although she hasn't sold in the numbers of Daughtry's first album.

[Wolfstar]

I think Carly has the flu.

I hope she gets well. However, there is something about that girl and her singing style that I just don't like.

[Wolfstar]

You aren’t going to try and convince me to adopt it like David Duchovney, are you?

Would I do that to you? ;-)

Synesthesia-is a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → color synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored, while in ordinal linguistic personification, numbers, days of the week and months of the year evoke personalities.

In spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).
