I read an article in the LA times today puffing up two of the other singers and barely mentioning Adam and Allison. The guy with the guitar, who I thought was just ok and Lil Round for the shout-off. Either my ears are getting bad or some people need to tone up.

Last night Seacrest walked by Simon’s girlfriend (ex?), the infotainment reporter and put his hand on her shoulder. She was seated on the aisle. The brunette. Are she and Simon no longer an item?

Until last night I didn't get the Adam hype. Last night, he blew me away! That is real talent.

I just, generally, don't like his style of music, but I may become a believer yet.

Was she the gal sitting next to Berry Gordy?

I thought I read on this very thread that Simon no longer had a steady gf. Could be wrong about that.

Hey—I just found this:

Berry Gordy is related to President Jimmy Carter, and Elvis Presley (yes, I am bored):

Early years

Gordy, Sr. was the seventh of eight children born to the middle class family of Berry Gordy II (a.k.a. Barry Gordy, Sr.)[1] and Bertha Fuller Gordy, who had relocated to Detroit from Milledgeville, Georgia in 1922. Gordy was brought up in a tight-knit family with strong morals.

Berry Gordy II (1888–1978) was the son of Berry Gordy I and a woman named Lucy. Berry Gordy I was the son of James Thomas Gordy, a white farmer, and a female slave in Georgia.

This James Thomas Gordy (1828–1889) was also, by his wife Harriet Emily Helms, the great-grandfather of James Earl Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, making Berry Gordy III and Jimmy Carter second half-cousins. It is also through James Thomas Gordy (and James’ great-grandfather Andreas Presley) that Berry Gordy and Jimmy Carter were sixth cousins to Elvis Presley.

No, I think that was Gordy’s wife. Simon’s girl was on an aisle. They started the shot with Sea walking down the aisle and he put his right hand on her sholder. I think maybe black dress.

I have a fond memories of Milledgeville.

There are 4-5 prisons there in what used to be a huge mental hospital complex. Giant prison farm.

One of the guards and his wife ran a home-style restaurant in an old house in town. The warden took us there. It was so good, I would drive a few hours out of the way to get back. Doubt if I could find it.

I think Adam looked like a young Kurt Russell last night.

They won’t. She doesn’t have that “barbie doll” sound. Her voice is way older than she is.... They don’t know how to appreciate that.

Exactly!

Adam: Hey Scott, you know those black leather pants I gave you? They're really pink corduroys. Have a great show!

Too funny!

LOL at Paula. Fantastic. I’ll check in about four hours later after the show wraps up on the left coast.

I’m guessing that Michael will go home as punishment for him staying when Alexis went home. But really, the Joy would be to send Megan Joy home!

Even though Megan did a horrible job last night, she still has something there. Yes, she probably deserve to go home, but you can't tell me Scott is going to be more fun to watch and better to listen to over the next weeks, PLEASE.

I'll take Megan's performance last night over any of Scott's boring ass, bad singing any day! Get some friggin' shades at least, yea salmon colored tight pant wearing goob!
