and even the Grateful Dead covered this songs too. BUT NOTE --- THEY HAD INSTRUMENTALS and LENGTH OF TIME to perform.

Knowing the Dead they probably played it for days on end.

Kellie's mic did have some kind of problem, because there was a weird thumping noise coming from it. BUT I also would not be surprised if it was intentionally cut off so we wouldn't have to hear her ramble.

When she came on last night, our son woke up inside my wife's tummy and started to boogie. He's 20 weeks old! Wife said he went back to sleep after that.

Edible Snow Globes: each little snow globe comes with everything for you to make the snow globe yourself, if you are the "crafty" type (and most women are). It includes candies and different edible things to create a scene, like for easter or a holiday, or birthday, etc. I thought it was a neat idea and depending on cost, would buy it.

Yes, I believe Chris does look like Vin Diesel and just as sexy. Now, all he needs to do is lower his voice and pump up his bod...AHHHHH!!!

The controversy tonight, of course, is that Chris's performance was played by the producers as if he's doing the very first rock version of "I Walk the Line" ever! And oh-my-goodness-he-made-it-his-own! But no one mentions that Chris's very favorite rock band, Live, recorded a cover of this song. He's a clever but KNOWLEDGABLE fellow this Chris. HE KNOWS HIS ROCK RECORDS. Last week, he knew that Red Hot Chili Peppers did Stevie Wonder and chose that song to reprise within his comfort zone. Now he picks Johnny Cash's classic he KNEW was recorded by LIVE as a ROCK song.

Don't believe it ? Listen to the LIVE band arrangement. Live's arrangement isn't identical, but is very similar to Chris's. But the melody line Chris sings is almost identical to that of Live lead singer, Ed Kowalczyk's. So, when Simon says that Chris took a great song and made it his own version, and that Chris is the first artist they've ever had on the show who's refused to compromise (sorry, he compromised the minute he walked out on that idol stage, Simon)--you all know it's a great big fat bag of disingenuous pimp meant to propel Chris one giant step further to winning the whole shebang.

Color me disappointed. I had posted here earlier that I was extremely impressed with Chris's arrangement only to find out from several others that it was a cover of an alt-rock cover from Live. I do agree that Chris is being pimped to win. I would say that he is probably top 4 along with Taylor, Mandisa and Katharine. That would be an interesting last couple of weeks.

How CUTE!!!! Babies and puppies. Life doesn't get any better than that.

As far as Chicken Little goes, he did not have the worst performance last night. Bucky did. Kevin is a hero to nerds everywhere.

True, the bottom three are Bucky, Kevin and Lisa, imo.

But I can stand Bucky. I can't stand Kevin. His lisp is SO annoying to me.

Um, I can't be sure of this without going back to the Tivo, but I believe that Chris himself said he wanted to do the "Live" version instead of the original Johnny Cash version, in the section where he's working with Manilow. So he was upfront about that. It was Ryan and the judges who were going on and on about it being new and original. So please don't blame Chris for that misconception! I myself think he's very smart to realize what his successful niche really is, and to stay within it. That's what he is and what he does, and the audience can take it or leave it, their choice. I like it, myself.

I'm not kidding. I think Madesa should go because she's a professional before AI...and Paris's voice makes me cringe.

No, I didn't watch the new show - I completely forgot it was on. Did you enjoy it?

I don't know what the big deal is with Kellie! Blond hair? She is not more talented than Katherine McPhee who has the total package a performer should have...talent AND brains. She knows how to be a professional singer. Kellie is good in her own way, but tries too hard to be cute.
