Ginanotjenna nailing the slow Elvis song. Her voice is so pure it sounds like an enhanced recording. She has great tone.

In mid song, JLo makes a face like she saw a lion eat the head off one of her twins. Strange.

Gina nails the song. Not boring at all.

JLo runs onto stage. I can’t believe we don’t see her underwear in that skating skirt. JLo freaking out and shaking. Can’t believe she is here to witness this.

Harry talks about her courage and this was a rare chance for Americans to see something like this.

Did I miss her doing open heart surgery while rocking triplets to sleep? I thought she was singing a song.

Keith calls her a platypus which is a huge compliment in Australia.

Alex sounds good here. Great song. Is it about Gwyneth?

Keith must feel Alex needs votes because he’s got the bob going. Roostering away.

JLo makes a “we will miss you” face. Like great song but too late.

Excellent tag line!! Hey, you and I have the smoking jackets with EIB embroidered onto the velvet!!! I’ve been directly quoted by Rush three times! Flattered to have been show prep!

The last time, about three years ago, I was in the shower, when he said my exact and weird wording from a post (as if he’d thought of it - who cares). I was just laughing and laughing in that shower! Yelling “You’re welcome Rush!” Lol.

Random thoughts...

Caleb and Ginanotjena will be the final two. Could it mean that we're in for version 2.0 of what is indubitably the worst movie ever since "Ishtar," "From Justin to Kelly"

Only question is if Alex goes home before Pinky, or vice versa...I think it actually might be Alex next to exit

FWIW, all season Alex's "sound" has reminded me of someone..but I couldn't put my finger on it..but it just came to me..it's IZ

And before y'all laugh hysterically...watch and listen...

I was having trouble waking up this morning until I saw your selfie with Caleb...I was truly lol..

I’m thinking about going down and checking it out, but my son’s graduation from Tech school is Fri. night and I’ll be up later than normal and I have to be in a neighboring town to take care of my elderly mom by 3 p.m. so doubt I’ll get to see the parade. I might go take a few pics of the preparations at the park where she will be...

Yes, I will keep my eyes wide open for Channing this summer...and I’m an old woman pushing 60...but hey he’s Channing...lol

...off to make the doughnuts...sigh (the younger crowd won’t get that one...)

For those keeping score ...

Fox Cancels ‘Dads,’ ‘Enlisted,’ ‘Surviving Jack’ and ‘Rake’

The judges were too kind. With the lipstick that didn't quite match the hair, the stiff composure, the singing without emotion, it was like watching a zombie barbie doll.

On some songs, Jessica is really good. But on others, she either has no comprehension of the song's meaning (like "Pumped-Up Kicks", which she sang with a smile--the judges called her on that one) or picks a song that doesn't suit her. She also has a huge chip on her shoulder about something ... like she resents having to sing for approval.

I agree...I think she is a great gal...she just hasnt been HOLLOWYOODIFIED....meaning...she still has some scruples and common sense left.

I agree with that too. The same thing that can make her seem detached can (in a certain light) make her likeable.

Sam was back home singing on local Fox affiliate Tampa Fox 13. He sang a couple of tunes and no hat.

Reminded me of when Jennifer ran onto the stage and hugged Jessica Sanchez..and to tell her she was not going home as they were gonna save her. She came in 2nd that year to Phillip Phillips. J Lo said she was gonna be the next Whitney. Hasn’t happened yet, lol.

And then there was the year that J Lo told Joshua Ledet that he had the best voice of the past 50 years! He has sung at the White House a couple of times but most of the world has not heard this fantastic voice.

So, yeah, an endorsement by JLo is not that indicative of future success IMO.

Jennifer knows the biz but I like her in movies better than as a songbird.

No.

Iz lived his life with so much pain, that comes out in every note of that song. I just don’t see Alex Nostrillaminus in the same way. Yes, he has a pained expression on his face, but more “I’ve got a blister” and not “My heart is broken in two.”

I’m not that young but I don’t get the doughnut reference either!

These contestant days always look like fun, and they are often in a small town - they look so Americana and just fun events. Who knows, it could just be the cameras.

I’ve gone to a lot of reality show auditions to watch, and ONCE with my son for him to compete - he wanted to be on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader! It’s fun.

Wait...what? Urban couldn’t get it up long enough with the Ice Queen to actually father his own kids?

Hollywood (Follywood) never ceases to amaze me.

Nicole married two gay guys, in a row? What’s in the water in Australia lately?

I would like to step on J-Lo’s face.

She is a moron.

“FWIW, all season Alex’s “sound” has reminded me of someone”

Tiny Tim, if you’re old enough to remember.

Complete with ukelele.

Alex should sing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” next week—if he’s still here.
