I totally didn't buy Jessica's version of that song.

They reminded us she is 16 and then sings that tune about what, cheating? sex?

[MagUSNRET]

I have a hunch that Stevie and Randy are suffering form a LOT of hearing loss after their years in front of AMPS...because what they are “hearing” and saying is akin to the second coming of Frank Sinatra, in my estimation...sucks worse than a bad Cher impersonation!

Jessica Sanchez
(1st Song)

She makes a bold choice: Etta James' "Steal Away". I actually like this. Her growling works for this song. Very good.

J-Lo: I'm happy to see the growl was there from the beginning. Is that something that came natural? Crazy, crazy, crazy. You're just one of the best.

Steven: I loved it. I'm currently doing an Etta James song myself, "Shakey Ground".

Randy: (Blues and Soul has so much pain) For you to be able to tap into that ... That girl right there can sing the phonebook! Amazing!

[silent_jonny]

P Squared is sounding a bit rough.....or Im just getting tired of him............or both

Both for me.

[silent_jonny]

Hola, Peggy! :)

[MagUSNRET]

As tired as I am of P Squared....I would crack up if the finals were P2 and Hollie...particularly after the grovelling and bowing down and drooling praise of Jessica and Joshua by the judges all season.......

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Twin!

[silent_jonny]

Another P2/Joshua duet. So evolved, Idol.

[Shelayne]

Oh no—it’s P2 and Joshua again!

I guess this as good as time as any for an enema.

[twin2]

Joshua and P2 duet..it’s like a bad e-harmony match.

[MagUSNRET]

What in the wild wild world of sports uis up with this CONTINUAL pairing up of Joshua and P2? Havent we suffered from enough gay agenda in the news today without them trying to make these 2 a couple? SHEESH! Give it a rest already!! (at least this song sounds better than the last one they did together...but that is small consolation)

[kjam22]

Maybe it’s just me... but there is nothing good about this song...

[Netizen]

Your intro pic was good. :)

I’m finding tonight’s show to be blah. Hope the second half is better.

[CASchack]

Hi, SJ. This duet started putting me to sleep.

Of course, the judges love it.

[Shelayne]

UGH—try again

I guess this is as good a time as any for an enema.

(Actually it wasn’t too horrible...)

[kjam22]

This show needs Simon back... really bad. Another year of this and this show will be a thing of the past.

[MagUSNRET]

Geezuz Jennifer....ya mean like Paul McCartney and Stevie WOnder? a mean like... that? Like...a black guy and a white guy singing? WOWZER YOU are AMAZING< Jennifer! (eyes rolling so much I look like Marty Feldman)

[Wright Wing]

Where is Jimmy tonight. Hopefully no health issues.

[MagUSNRET]

“I guess this is as good a time as any for an enema.

(Actually it wasn’t too horrible...)

What wasnt too horrible....the enema? LOL ;-)

Duet #1: Forehead Vein and Mantasia again, singing Maroon 5's "This Love". This is much better (and much less gay) than their duet last week.

Steven: Best song, best vocal, best duet. Everything was perfect. Whoever picked that song, it was perfect. Thanks, Nigel (Lythgoe, in the front row, takes credit)

J-Lo: An unexpected treat.

Randy: You guys brought a little something else to it. You had fun with it.
