Wednesday Morning Coming Down.

Alright, I watched it all, OK? I'm not proud of myself, but there ya have it.

What did I think about the girls?

Mandisa - started off by rocking the shit out of Heart's Never, setting the bar very high.

Ayla - super-over-achieving-basketball-scholarship-winning-daughter-of-a-senator-and-a-newscaster surprised me by singing well. But I think her whole "entitlement" thing, true or not, will end things for her soon, no matter how well she sings.

Becky - drop-dead gorgeous and she looked like a drunk chick pretending to be a rock star on karaoke night.

Heather - who?

Kellie - adorable but not nearly as good a singer as I thought she was. Best part of her performance was when she took Ryan by surprise and shouted "Pick Pickler!"

Stevie - oh Stevie, what were you thinking? Pretty much a train wreck, from what we could surmise with the mute button pushed during the judging

Paris - had the you-know-whats to tackle a Gladys Knight song and was amazing

Melissa - poor girl will probably be out this week simply because no one knows who she is, but I thought she did better than some. She's got a real Melissa Etheridge sound.

Kinnik - I thought she was much better than the judges did. Alot with the yelling, but at least I felt some emotion behind all the yelling, unlike...

Lisa - who really bothers me for some reason. She was praised to the heavens last night, but all I remember is a lot of yell-singing and freaky smiling.

Katharine - still my favorite. She nailed her song. And she's dorky.

A couple more things...I can't believe I'm saying this, but Randy has now usurped Paula's long-held position of Most Useless American Idol Judge. Dawg, you need to come up with something else to say besides, "OK, so this is how it is...you started off a little pitchy, you were a little sharp here and there, but you got it together in the end and brought it home." Did he say that to all of them, or am I imagining it? Speaking of Paula (and scary hairdo aside), she was actually giving constructive criticism last night, until about the last third of the show when I think her meds kicked in.

Finally, please ladies, enough with the culotte/gauchos, OK?

ETA: LOL, my burning hatred for her is so profound that any memory of Brenna's performance was temporarily obliterated. She was predictably awful, obnoxious, and I really wanted her to fall on her porn star ass when she was doing that stripper dance at the end.

That was probably one of the worst hairstyles I've ever seen her sport. Last night was much better.

Kinnik lost EVERY bit of credibility with me when all the happy left her face while she listened to the judging. She just looked like an angry old woman standing up there. I hated her a lot in that moment. I hoped she'd go away and take Brenna with her.

Heather was awful, but she possesses, shall we say, attributes shallower men prize.
