The crew at Defamer is donning “Team Sundance” shirts already.

I think Vote for the Worst gets too much credit. Kellie Pickler made it pretty far on her own last year. They only targeted her for a week or two.

I think people under-estimate the power of sentimental favorites. Like the fact that Sunjay was in the top 4 last night.

Oh man, so that Village Voice cover story is pretty much their fault, too?! Okay, they are going DOWN.

Re: Putting up with VFTW. Yes, you will have to put up with them for a while. They take credit (I think deservedly) for Constantine Maroulis, Kevin Covais, and Kellie Pickler. All three of those charlatans kept people saying whathafuck? until at least the top 12.

That list of upcoming celeb apperances was the saddest thing ever. If they didn’t have a Paul McCartney or Michael Jackson to announce, why bother? I mean seriously, J.Lo? Gwen Stefani? I’m SO not looking forward to the group performance of “Don’t Speak”.

What about when Lakisha jumped the gun and approached the departing Nicole, only to realize she was indeed the only one other than Nicole in center stage. So she walked backwards, awkwardly.

I get so much out of other people's discomfort.

Best part of the evening:
Rudy: "If it's alright with you, I'm gonna go out with a bang!"
(2 or 3 audience member respond with a whimper)

oh- and no reference to Paula Abdul? That chick has Beermuffs- the more wasted she gets, the better everyone sounds. I think she told all 4 departees that they were one of the best vocalists on the show.

Oh god, I couldn’t even bring myself to recap that part. “Sowing The Seeds Of Love” is one of my favorite songs of all time, and hearing Sundance Head sing a verse…

I can't watch the results shows. Those group numbers are too painful. They're like bad high school musical productions.

So my thanks, Idolators, for keeping me posted.
