Shut up.

They misinterpreted what the fans wanted. Probably more than any other TV show, they didn't know what made them successful... or they did, and they went waaaaaay too far with it. The tragic thing is that they can't go back as they went too far.

I dunno. Phil looked good in the recap, but he revealed that he is clearly crazygonuts (and not in the fun retarded quirky Taylor way) which may scare people. So it really depends on how many people value potential over performance.

Ok, Bald Dude is Clay Aiken. Body movements, the way he projects his voice on certain notes, overall non-straightness. Pure. Clay. Did Simon just infer that Slight was 1 1/2 people?

Ok, Sligh just sorta just killed everyone dead. And then he died midway through. He should have went Taylor-crazy. Certainly the best voice of the males, and less retarded than the bald dude. Even before his performance saying that he looked liked the bald dude, only better looking. Plus the lisp thing is the new hotness for 2007. WHAT HAPPENED TO PAULA?! WHY IS SHE SO MEAN?! WHY?! Didn't she dance with a cat before? Ok, I missed the first performance, but did he seriously do that? Really? Oh man, this was not a good episode.

This guy is the opposite of Brandon. IMO, Brandon makes good picks for him and has good stage presence and has that banter thing goin. He just simply doesn't have a good enough voice. Bald Dude has a good voice, but everything else is lacking.

OH SHIT HE DID NOT JUST NAME DROP STEVE PERRY! This guy has a good voice, his problem is that... he just is retarded. His presentation, his song choice, the way he performs it. Retarded. "He can't change his eyes though" "I know, but they were big".

Man, the judges really want Brandon to move on. Simon did a backhanded way of getting him votes. Brandon is a likable guy, but -at best- he is "that other dude" in a boyband with that other guy in 1992. OH SHIT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIS VOICE?! Wrong pitch? Maybe? Tone? Everything?

I just meant in relation to the early "you pick the song" rounds where people who do the power ballads don't always hit it. Besides, they'll get to the power ballads later in the season, save your big guns if you have them. Like, if you're doing Aerosmith. Do Cryin' and not Don't Wanna Miss A Thing. Some songs can't be matched and it's a waste to attempt it and butcher it. Such as Sundance with Jeremy tonight. Leave that to the professional Vedder clones like Stapp. I get what your sayin, and you're not wrong, I just remember seeing Fantasia and Taylor slaying in this stage of the game and writing off the rest of the competition at that point.

Sundances stay is not unprecedented. Matthew Rogers was a burly fellow with less talent and he made the top 12.

Oh shit, please let it be One Way Ticket.

Jared sounds like he is just singing above his regular talking voice. Holy shit, Paula is HARSH tonight. You know, by Paula standards.

POWER BALLADS are awesome. They need to stay. Everything else, I agree with. But not Power Ballads. How has Jared not been eliminated yet? And is the comedy on this show ever good?

I am mixed on this dude. Powerful voices win American Idol, and his is weak. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it. At all. It's like he belongs in a boyband in like, 1992.

Sundance hits all the typical Vedder-notes, but can't totally sustain it. But coming directly after Sanjayas blandness, he will definitely stick out. "Mid way through you just kicked into your Sundance" Oh fuck.

Sanjaya is completely inoffensive. Which is probably his biggest problem. The biggest chance he takes is on his hair.

Maybe they could bring him in without a character, just as him Jeff Goldblum. "You know... this electricity stuff seems to be a helluvalot like Powder." "Oh, you're going to fight a Dinosaur, Hiro... I fought Dinosaurs once" "You can fly, Peter? I WAS THE FLY" But, you know, with a lot more stuttering and a bit more rambly.

Eddie Bravo swears by it, and rarely ever rolls or teaches without it. It's definitely not uncommon in the BJJ community, and I'm sure Lei Tong could throw out a few stories. Of course, this depends on if Diaz smoked before his fight, or a few days/weeks/etc before where it being in his system and him being high are two different things.

Yeah, clearly that was more for jiu jitsu and submission grappling than for MMA (Nino's). It's hard to land a free hand punch with a gogoplata locked in, tight or not (though by it's structure, it's hard to not have a tight Gogoplata). First, your thinking at the time is usually "Oh fuck!" rather than "Boy, I've got an arm free, I should punch him with it"; a lot of the time when you see a gogoplata the guy getting it applied to him because very cautious and slows down and tightens/balls up. Second, you won't be getting much power on the strike for two reasons - one, your opponent has your other arm tied up, thus limiting your moment/extension (if you try to pull back with your left arm, it usually really hurts your trapped right shoulder), and two, your opponents knee will be in the way so you have to go over or around it and you lose power and speed that way. I believe the best way to defend a gogoplata is simply pushing down on your opponents foot (and hope he doesn't know the dreaded LOCO PLATA).

They need to kill off Mohinder and bring in Goldblum as the resident brilliant scientist.

This still does not change the fact that Jessica and Parkman had a showdown, and Parkman did not go down. Parkman. Mr Muggles could take Parkman.

Pfft. Jessica couldn't even kill Parkman. The problem with the Nikki storyline is that it hasn't become relevant to the main plot, while pretty much everyone elses storyline has at this point. It seems like a completely separate show. That, and there really is no reason to care for any one in that storyline - everyone is annoying and emo. Plus, the whole split personality thing is too arbitrary. One second shes Nikki, the next she is Jessica, then Nikki. There is no switch.

And the reason Diaz was using marijuana was because a buddy of his left a huge bag of doritos over at his house.

Nathan should have shot Nikki. He'd have been the grandest hero of them all.
