The way he acted after the song, maybe he WAS singing about his mother. "I can't see you mama But I can hardly wait Ooh to touch and to feel you mama" Very weird.

Maybe he is still being breastfed.

Is this kid suicidal or what?? Good grief!!

That was my reaction too.

[silent_jonny]

Charlie looks like he could be Idols first self inflicted casualty.
Theres something deeply disturbing about him

Yes. After his segment was over I was expecting to hear a gunshot backstage.

When they came back from commercial, Seacrest seemed rattled.

If Charlie is really that down (he could be acting for sympathy votes, who knows) then I hope Idol has someone responsible watching over him, at least for tonight.

[silent_jonny]

Well that was certainly awkward...smiling Charlie is really angry, sad Charlie...

The more I think about it, Idol should just send him home regardless of the vote. He's going to be a mess from now on. And being on the show isn't going to help him at all.

[retrokitten]

I don’t think he was faking. I think he’s genuinely a little off.

[silent_jonny]

Next audience grabber....Pussy boy goes postal......Film at eleven

LOL! Doesn't this picture look like a mugshot that would plastered all over cable news?

"... Neighbors say he was quiet. Kept to himself ..."

[silent_jonny]

he is a star and is showing everyone that he is worth something.

Screaming "Mama!" doesn't make him a star.

If he is really as tortured as he went out of his way to make us believe, then the compassionate thing is to get him out of this competition.

[silent_jonny]

huffing duster—LOLOL!

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Peggy!

[silent_jonny]

Last nights show put me to sleep and I’m just now waking up....is tonight any less sleepy?

If "less sleepy" means "more disturbing" then yes :)

Do they think the target age range for AI is 75+ and they don’t want to aggravate our heart conditions?

---

Being of a vintage age, I think they know we can’t her a lot of this.....LOL.......

[silent_jonny]

I Believe I Can Fly is def on the banned list.

Yes. I thought that was the song you meant when you said it was the new "Something To Talk About", lol. They must be required to sing it twice a year.

[silent_jonny]

Fat guy was good, but these judges are so over the top that now I am sick of him.

They're all annoying! I dread typing what they say. Minaj at least stays somewhat focused with her comments. Mariah is all over the place. And Urban takes this gig way too seriously. None of them appear to be having any fun. It's a freakin' TV talent show, not C-Span!

[silent_jonny]

just noticed Mimi’s shirt.mic pulling it down.
has she covered them up yet this season???

"Yes, on Tuesday night!" blurted silent_jonny.

:)

[silent_jonny]

Thank you so much, Pat. You’re very kind.

FYI..I stumbled across this review of last night's show on Yahoo. It's quite good..others might enjoy it..she has clips of every performance..She blogs after every AI show..She's quite snarky...Do click back on the links to see what she said about Zoanette..

Surprisingly? last night John Rich ( Big & Rich) Tweeted out a DEFENSE of poor ole Charlie..

[daisyscarlett]

According to DialIdol, Charlie leads the “boys” and Miss Alaska the gals. LIV is 6th. Hope they are way off. I cannot imagine an AI tour with Zonette and Charlie in it!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Wish the’d let at least 6 girls go through instead of 5.

Amen.

Ranking the guys (yeeesh), I’d go with, for what it’s worth...

Big-Specs Vincent (more for last week’s performance than this week’s)
Squinty Curtis
Spanglish Devin
er... gotta pick five, eh... er... “Andy Cap” Nick and Burnell...

And here’s to an all-girl Top 5 (unless Zoanette makes Top 10)

[patriotspride]

For what its worth some commentary on Ms. Minaj and Idol in general

[Fawn]

Well...i felt sorry for him getting torn apart like that after a song that I know he thought he did great on....and it was just a shock to him....I could see it on his face...and he was very crushed. I thought it was a bit too much criticism.....I actually liked it. BUt, I’m sure he was voted out due to all the drama.
