You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or allow?
Will this be the week that the white girls inspire me? Telling quote of the night:
Randy: I wish I could sing like Celine too, but I can't.
Two weird ads we got here in NYC. One was William Hung singing something unintelligible for Hollywood Tans. The other is a local one about how if you smoke around your kids it's like they are smoking, a point they get across by having these kids talk as though they smoke: "I have my first one when I get up in the morning" etc. But the one bit that is sort of funny is when this totally cute little girl turns to the camera and says in a tiny voice, "I'm down to a pack a day."

- Gina sings "Alone" which Carrie rather infamously sang last year (and also sang along with Heart in a TV concert). She has a bad habit of going flat as she trails off her notes, which someone will have to break her of. Simon clearly likes her, as he's giving her Level 2 advice now.
- Alaina sings "I'm Not Ready to Make Nice" in a bizarrely sexy way, though it's actually a song about anger. I'm not sure what to do with that. She couldn't really stay on top of the song. And she should be singing pop or something, seriously.
- I liked that LaKisha was a little bit softer tonight on "Midnight Train to Georgia" but they are right that she needs to lose the nerves. And Simon is in love with her, clearly, and again, is giving her that Level 2 advice.
- I am voting for Melinda 37 times, for reals. Her rendition of "My Funny Valentine" was like, I mean, I want the mp3 of that right now. It was amazing.
- Antonella, what the hell was that? Bad song ("Because You Loved Me"), bad performance, bad dress. Also a bad arrangement, which didn't help. When even Randy focusses on your look, you know you're in trouble.
- Jordin, I love that they can see your potential, and see beyond a sort of okay rendition of "Reflection."
- Wow, Simon liked Stephanie's rendition of "Dangerously in Love" better than Randy did. When does that happen? I loved her even though I really don't like that song all that much.
- Leslie . . . sings the same song AJ sang last night, "I'm Feeling Good." You'd think they'd keep them from doing that. She doesn't sound as good as AJ did, and he wasn't great. She is no longer in the running to be my favorite white girl. I'm sad, because she's pretty adorable.
- Haley is so fucking boring, and if one is boring, one should not be singing a Whitney song from the Bodyguard soundtrack. (No, not THAT one.)
- Sabrina also sings a Whitney song and you know, it's fine, but I'm with Simon. I liked her better last week but she'll be back next week.
