Do miss MagUSNretired’s snarks but Yaelle has certainly filled in well in that regard
========

Oh my gosh, I’m so not fit to wear her “uniform!” I miss her too! (Which is why when I watch I do wear this uniform at least)

[Yaelle]

Rofl!!! Adam / Ada, doesn’t it even basically REFUSE TO IDENTIFY? (Which is creepy in itself, so well said.)

Baby daddy uncle, rofl!! So many Crying songs he could choose from! What is the over / under on how many weeks a cryer can slide on the crying over the talent? 5?

[Yaelle]

I’m sad about Layla. She was likeable, and there was of course the cutie Dixie. Same thing about the Goat guy, he did have a lot of cute goats. If he had made the final, the first three rows in the Dolby would be filled with adorable bleating goats. Cleaner than the animals OUTSIDE the Dolby, that is for sure.

Keepn’ it...um...real

[Netizen]

Nice recap Jonny!

Everyone bring your barf bag, just in case.

[silent_jonny]

Oh I could tell he was singing for his dying grandma and not for the girls in the front row.... riiiight....

He had to think fast. The judges were on the cusp of criticizing him. "I'm dedicating this song, that apparently I didn't sing very well, to my sick grandma. She's not doing very well, Ryan!!"

Looks at the girl in the front row and mouths the words "call me!"

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I’ll have to check back later.

Just taking a short break from shoveling 15 inches of Global Warming.

[silent_jonny]

They shouldn’t have that Randy commercial on this show. It shows up how bad these judges are. I’d take three Randy’s.

We used to laugh at Randy, but underneath all the "yo dogs" and Captain Kangaroo suits he actually told these kids the truth (most of the time).

*sigh* Don't know what we've got til it's gone.

[silent_jonny]

Why are we even having duets? Shouldn’t we be showing some of these people the door already?

Yep. I have no proof of this, but I strongly believe their Top 14(?) has already been decided.

So all of these performances are just a pretense--unless someone bombs so badly it can't be covered by an ailing granny story or a cute baby.

[silent_jonny]

how are they going to honestly critique the duets (with a famous partner), especially after the network/record company paid to have their talent featured...not going to happen

I wonder if they'll use the same famous partners this week. Two weeks for the price of one. Save some money :)

[silent_jonny]

Then she has the tats all over her arms.

It's so common now. You're a rebel if you DON'T have any tattoos.

[big'ol_freeper]

...and next up Ada...

[gundog]

Bat Fella.

[silent_jonny]

We Get To Through All This Again!

As always, if you want on or off this ping list, just let me know :)

[peggybac]

Ryan’s friend is back.

[Netizen]

ACK!!!!!

[silent_jonny]

I need to proofread more: “We get to GO through all this again!”
