[Shelayne]

Yeah, I think one of my favorite performances was when she did Led Zep. I thought that was brilliant.

This one is *meh* to me.

[MagUSNRET]

I agree...Elise was HOT HOT HOT when she did Led Zeplin!

[freedumb2003]

I enjoyed the heck out of that! The dancing, meh — but the Temptations doing it!

Elise Testone
(2nd Song)

I'm clicking "like" even before the song is finished.

Her song is Jimi Hendrix's "Bold As Love". And there's a guitar player on stage who sounds reasonably like Hendrix. This is great. She isn't trying to be anyone other than herself. And it works.

Steven: I love the Janis Joplin about you. But you gotta remember to pick songs that people know. You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.

J-Lo: I know what Steven is saying, but you sleighed that song so hard it doesn't matter! One of the best singers in the competition.

Randy: For me it wasn't the right song for this time in the competition. Felt like you attacked the song. Felt like you were boxing with the song.

Jennifer squabbles with Randy. The audience cheers in J-Lo and Elise's favor.

The guitar player gets a special mention from Seacrest. I think he's in Elise's band. He played so well in rehearsal that they invited him to play during the show (I think that's what they said)

I think Phillip has a chance to be booted tomorrow night

[Poser]

Phil is just so weird. He'll get the college alternative rock vote. He'll survive this week.

Two blonds in the bottom three.

[MagUSNRET]

Prediction...bottom three
P squared
Hollie
Elise

the ones that SHOULD be bottom 3
P2
Joshua
Elise

[freedumb2003]

Phil^2: The same song for 5 weeks + 1 performance.

[kjam22]

It sounded like “Fat Bottom Girls”

[Shelayne]

I like P2, but am NOT digging this one. *Pfffft*

[MagUSNRET]

There is a coffee house in P2’s future
I like the lad...but he has NO “range” everything sounds the same.......EVERYTHING

[Mark was here]

Bunch of computer disks, found an old Christmas video that was from 10 years ago, had forgotten all about it.

Back then they were hard to make, video was still recorded on a tape.

[RummyChick]

here is another one from them this week

watch for Urkel to do a split move..

[Netizen]

Has Skylar ever mentioned Reba? I think Reba would do it, she seems so nice and genuine. If she could have fun doing Tremors, I think she would do AI. (Did that sound bad? LOL)

[silent_jonny]

Two questions:

Seacrest has a girlfriend?

His girlfriend is Julianne Hough?

[Netizen]

Didn’t like Elise’s second song.

[MagUSNRET]

A beard is just a beard..............as long as the aforementioned beard gets camera time, (apparently) ;-)

[slugbug]

Jonny! Where have you been? He and Julianne have been together for a long time!

[silent_jonny]

Phillip Phillips
(2nd Song)

Is this a song? Just bunch of mushy Dave Matthews noise.

I'm not even listening to it.

Steven: Very entertaining, very off the wall. I think you found your niche. Nice going.

J-Lo: Pretty song. But a little too artsy. All of you have a shot to win, especially you, Phillip. There's a time and place for this kind of song, but this wasn't it.

Randy: I have to disagree to Jennifer. You showed your true colors once again. You are a true artist. I love that you show your artist side. P2 will always be P2. I love it, dude! Nice.

They praise Phillips for being true to himself, but criticize Elise for being true to herself.

[Netizen]

Pedophile Pimp Collection. LOL

But yeah, why else wear toys as jewelry unless you are trying to get close to little kids.
