Alex has a great singing voice. But he needs some personality injections. And maybe facial surgery so that he doesn’t have that “I Smell Poop” face 24/7.

[Yaelle]

He’s a strange looking fella.... quirky... artist guy. I always think of Elvis Costello when he sings....

---

Yeah, he’s Elvis Costello without the hot looks and bubbly personality. ;)

I saw Elvis live in a tiny French club in a small French town. He phoned it in. I was soooo disappointed.

Did anyone notice Alex wears leather shoes without socks? Maybe that
is what he is always smelling!

[Yaelle]

My Caleb rocked it!! He can do anything on stage and keep right with it! After the mike incident he just smiled and kept going with total confidence.

I love him!

Randy Jackson was in the 80s band Journey?? Why is this the first I’ve heard of this?? I just found out our Secretary of State did a tour of Viet Nam as well! Why am I always the last to know?

R5???????

How about "We Five"..one of the greatest one hit wonder bands ever.... "You Were On My Mind" was a smash hit!! The lead singer, Beverly Bivens..had an amazing set of pipes..

Ah, the 60's!!!!!

Michael Stewart (RIP) was my uncle.

"Sands of Iwo Jima"

It made want to be a Marine...

Not sure who's gonna win..but I think the top 5 ( after CJ goes home tonite) are, as group, the strongest we've had in many an AI season. They're all gonna have good careers. Pinkie won't win...but she'll do well..the exposure's great for her..

If Sam doesn't win..Disney will sign him...

And Keith wasn’t just bobbing, he was doing that dance where women shake their bosoms forward. Like he had tassels on him.

LOL. I know. I noticed that, too. I said he was doing the "shimmy". :^D

[silent_jonny]

Looks like his first heart attack.

[silent_jonny]

To me he also looks a little like the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, but on steroids. :):)

Steroids were probably the one drug NOT found in Hoffman's system, lol

[silent_jonny]

That Twain is runnin off da twacks!

Ha!

[silent_jonny]

Nothing says country like a wool hat.

ROFL!

[silent_jonny]

I was typing as Sam was singing and it just felt like it was missing some melodic moments. I think you need a sweet voice to do justice to that simple song. Sam didn’t have it.

It was kinda lame. He should be in the bottom three--or two, however they divvy it up this week. Right next to CJ.

[ken5050]

FYI..good review here of last night's show, including clips of ALL the performances.... Consensus is that CJ departs

Alex has a huge fan base. His aunt/cousin is JoDee Messina and she tweets about him every week and reminds her fans to watch him.

Also his hometown in NH is very organized in supporting him. They have frequent rallies where they all wear their pants rolled up like him. The leader of this group says everyone is voting for him with over 400 votes each. Is that possible?

[daisyscarlett]

I think you are right...Sam mite be an Osmond...he said he celebrated his 18 th birthday with cupcakes and jamming.

It will be interesting to see if going to the Birklee School will result in a career for him in the music world. The only grad from there I know is earning his living as a plumber! He is very active in Community Theatre on weekends etc. but his income is from plumbing!

[daisyscarlett]

After I posted that Alex has a huge fan base I found out that Wiki predictions has him in the bottom 2 tonite with CJ and CJ going home. I did not know that Wiki had a prediction site but it does and boasts a success rate of 87%.

Sorry for the misleading posts. I will go back into my usual lurk mode now.
