In Memory of Bahbah and Carolinamom

[ejdrapes]

I did not like James performance and I'm a big fan of his. But at least now we have some context - apparently the lead singer from Muse heard he was singing this song and challenged him to up the octave.

[slugbug]

I think it’s pretty obvious the judges want James to win...he’s not horrible but he screams too much for my taste. I prefer Scotty.

James Durbin

WTH is this song?

James walks in like demonic drum major, followed by a marching band of drummers. Don't care for the lyrics either. Something about "fat cats" are gonna die and "they will not degrade us".

For production value, I give it a

J-Lo: Theatrically the best performance of the night. That was the highest I've ever heard you sing.

Randy: A whole different kind of an artist. Dude, you were unbelievable. I think this will be the best performance of the night. Slayed it! Slayed it!

Steven: You stay out of my closet now! Mad Max meets stormtroopers on Melrose right? Love that you have your mind beautifully so (?)

[Mark was here]

Jacob did it.

(WHo the hell is Adele?)

[retrokitten]

I am cracking up that we all started cringing when they announced Haley was going to sing Adele.

[VampireStateNY]

I did too, especially with James’ ‘Vampire Bandleader’ getup!

[MagUSNRET]

I NEED AN INTERVENTION! LOL...they are all singing crap I never heard of........Im having Flashbacks to Vandellas......and BIG hair!!!!!

[Lil'freeper]

‘Vampire Bandleader’ getup!

Right. On.

[big'ol_freeper]

That was a BRILLIANT performance. I love that song. It should be the theme song of the movement to take back the White House in 2012.

Adele, Rolling in the Deep

Girl can sing! Haley is going to butcher anything Adele.

[Shelayne]

Isn’t Muse the band that Glenn Beck used to play clips of during his radio show?

[slugbug]

She’s a young British singer who has had several hit records recently. I liked Chasing Pavement...hope Haley doesn’t sing it...

Steven: “Love that you have your mind beautifully so (?)”

GMTA _jonny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see my post #2420. WTF?

[silent_jonny]

I bet the judges throw Haley under the bus, no matter how she performs.

[MagUSNRET]

I still say they are all a bunch of pussies, if at least one of them doesnt do “Battle of New Orleans” at least once during any given season....just to prove they can learn 5 pages of lyrics AND a bit of history while doing so ;-)

[Netizen]

I can hardly wait for the idols to all prance ans sway their hips when they talk about Jacob! LOL

[RummyChick]

NOOOOOO
she is going to butcher Rolling in the Deep.

Is she going to have a Dancing Ninja...

[silent_jonny]

LOL!

[rabidralph]

Wow, you’re psychotic.
