What I really, REALLY don’t understand-what’s even more bizarre that using a comedienne to judge music-is the way Ellen DeGenere’s plain face is being used to sell makeup. She may or may not have comedic talent, but she certainly is not remotely pretty, having neither attractive features or a glowing complexion, and her natural plainness is made even worse by her keeping that awful “tossed salad” short choppy hair style from the early 1990s. But her plain , aging face is now the face of Cover Girl cosmetics : Not just in O magazine (she’s a friend of Ophrah) but in the more staid women’s magazines my MIL reads. Why???

AI is a glorified Karaoke contest. I just can’t watch more contestants screw up the same songs over and over again. Give me a live songwriters’ show anytime. That is where the talent lies.

I cannot watch anymore. ED (no, not erectile dysfunction, although she certainly could be a cause) is someone that I just cannot watch. Aside from her failure to be funny or intelligent or relevant or give any indication that she ever passed music appreciation, she always looks like a giant strobe light has just flashed in front of her face. I think, if Simon leaves, the show collapses. Word is, if he leaves, he will do an American version of a somewhat similar British show that he will have an ownership interest in. I guess having a kajillion dollars already is not enough.

Hicks was a great entertainer but as a recording artist, he’s a joke. Exactly as Simon predicted.

I agree with you though that he made Idol that season and the entertainment factor has been low since.

It’s painful to watch her. She has no idea what she’s doing.

Ellen isn't funny and her jumpng up on stage last night was dumb.

Kara is an idiot trying to snuggle up to Simon since Paula left. The crying last night didn't work, either.

Watched tonight. Bowersox looks like she’s drugged out of her mind.

Liked the shy guy that was booted off tonight. He had great potential, was a mistake! I did however predict a month ago that the last 2 standing would be Lee, and nose ring girl, the one that sang House of the Rising Son
