If he read this stuff, he would not be devastated. Casey would probably laugh a bit, but he would also feel obligated to mention how there is a lot going on that the kids have to deal with which we don't see, as you suggested. And clearly, no one deserves to be made fun of. They're just kids, after all. So, yeah, we're bastards. Thanks for stopping by. Of course, maybe if the judges' "critiques" weren't so impotent every week, we wouldn't feel the urge to make up for them with actual analysis, which is then delicately dipped in scalding sarcasm and left on a tray to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Like many of the above, Casey James has spoilt American Idol for me, he was so so amazing last year. He always comes over as such a nice, kind guy and I think he would be devistated if he knew some of his fans were blogging such derisory comments about the current idols. Perhaps we should all try to be more like him at the same time as enjoying his music. He must appreciate more than anyone how hard the American Idol ride can be. The kids don't deserve some of the above comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-56711362841463641872011-03-31T19:09:16.219-07:002011-03-31T19:09:16.219-07:00I don't always agree with you, but I think you...I don't always agree with you, but I think you nailed it tonight. The whole night dragged on and on and on. Naima and James were entertaining but his execution was better than hers (props for her at least trying something different). Pia is, as always, technically proficient and BORING. Ditto Thia. Paul needs surgery stat before he can't sing at all. I liked Casey, and thought Lauren was one of the best and usually I find her singing okay but nothing special and I find her to be a brat. Scotty is becoming a parody of himself. Jacob looked liked the character Miss Jeanette from True Blood (who came to an untimely and bloody end). Stefano who? I thought Haley was trying to hard. <br /><br />I'm bored with the judges, with Jimmy Iovine every single week (although he was the only one doling out truth last night) and his band of "prfoessionals" that put a glossy adult contemporary shine on everything, tired of the same old tired song lists... with Elton John's vast catalog, the kids had 20 songs to choose from. Etc. <br /><br />55 million votes cast and I couldn't find anyone who I wanted to vote for even once. Obviously, I'm in the minority but ... meh.<br /><br />-MaryS-NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-44178482139608047862011-03-31T13:20:27.983-07:002011-03-31T13:20:27.983-07:00Shari,again 'well done' I said last night ...Shari,again 'well done' I said last night that Thia Megia and Stefano Langone were the only contestants with vocals that held any interest for me.I was wrong after listening to all here I must add Pia Toscano to my list.Which means none of the three can win.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438340216727059653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-56725828679481664442011-03-31T12:42:47.003-07:002011-03-31T12:42:47.003-07:00Shari, I adore your blogs!

Agree with all you said.
I think N...LMAO Shari. Agree with all you said. <br /><br />I think Naima has a split personality. It takes over her body on stage and not in a good way. Haley is just ridiculous at this point. The judges are on drugs (Naima's ganja?) saying that was the best performance of the night. Liza/Jerry? I have no words left for him except, please go home and don't make that stupid pained face when you do. Paul still needs a throat lozenge and a big drink of water. And that suit is awful, please make it go away. Scott, Thia, Stefano, Pia were all pretty boring. Casey was better but that whole business last week up to this week was all staged. From Casey's shaking and dropping to his knees in "shock" at being saved to his "comeback" this week. Please, do I look that stupid American Idol? Pfffft. Lauren was really good last night but that girl should just sing. Please don't let her talk again. What the hell was she saying anyway? (Naima's ganja must have been really good). James was the best last night. He brought energy, fun, and a comfort zone that no one else seems to have. <br /><br />I don't have a favorite in this group because they are all just "eh, whatever". Not a Casey James among them.<br /><br />Top 3 - James, Lauren, and Casey<br />Bottom 3 - Naima, Haley, and Liza/Jerry or Paul<br /><br />cj14uwhateverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-90461097289460813072011-03-31T09:06:14.299-07:002011-03-31T09:06:14.299-07:00I hope like hell Paul,Jacob,and Casey A. on bottom...I hope like hell Paul,Jacob,and Casey A. on bottom can't stand to listen them attempt to sing.Thia Naima hang in there....but all n all<br />who ever goes fine my favs made the tour.but I <br />will not follow the tour.I did that with Casey James which btw was well worth it.I'm addicted to his personality and his talent.he definetely has the WOW!!!!!factor.there's nobody like'emAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-76837936475571626792011-03-31T08:47:19.422-07:002011-03-31T08:47:19.422-07:00I love rar745's analogy.

(I wasn't ever really into American Idol, until I accidentally saw Crystal (!) and Casey in Hollywood Week last year. Now I'm curious enough to follow along.) That's what led me to your blog. Since then, I've discovered that your AI commentary is my favorite out of the multitude I read, even beating realityrocks, rickey, and idol-worship. It's accurate (a.k.a. I agree with it) and always heartfelt. And funny, too... giving birth to a bus. :) It's not specifically what you think so much as how you phrase it and pace your feelings across several sentences that really make this all work for me. Thank you for having written about AI each week, thus far. After I dine at an Idol banquet, reading your thoughts serves as a nice dessert, one that makes the whole experience quite satisfying, leaving me with a good taste in my mouth, regardless of how unappetizing any of the performances might have been.rar745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-91218798675851163982011-03-31T00:26:31.244-07:002011-03-31T00:26:31.244-07:00Because it's been a long day here in Las Vegas...Because it's been a long day here in Las Vegas and I'm wiped, I'll just add Adam Lambert's tweet ... if for no other reason than a little fodder for discussion.
