Scott sucks. His voice is boring. He looks creepy, and he’s just terrible to listen to. He should be long gone by now. We all knew EXACTLY what his version of the BJ jam was going to sound like as soon as they announced it. Dude makes Dan Fogelberg sound like Joe Strummer. Boo.

@Thierry: Well, if next week is "Song from your birth year" week, like Paula said earlier today, and Adam was born in 1982, it would be criminal of him not to sing "Another Thing Coming."

Was Adam going for the “Edward Cullen” look last night with his hair? Or Johnny Suede? I am confused.

I think the Loli-dress will benefit Allison in the end. If everyone talks about her dress (which I loved, including shoes, swoon!) then we won't have to deal with the fact that she actually sounded terrible for the majority of her performance.

I suspect artistry = sounding like the pop star you most physically resemble in the eyes of the judges SIGH!

Whenever Anoop turns into NoopDawg, he focuses all his attention and energy on his poses and facial expressions. His voice can't compete with that.

But alas, I think Matt G. is at an end.

Did anyone else notice David Spade take his gum out and stick it underneath his chair while Randy was critiquing someone towards the end?

serious question: does paula read off a teleprompter/cue cards or something? she’s become totally excruciating to watch on this show this season, whereas for year or two she’d merely been painful

@derby: The funny thing is that Paula started that list, and then finally ended up with " ... and Adam Lambert." And I thought, "who?" Then I realized she was talking about the guy performing, not some legend of pop music I somehow wasn't aware of.

Also, Adamn. Look dawg, yes, you can sing, but let’s see how long you can hold onto those pristine vocal chords if you have to do those intense reach for the stars acrobatics at the close of EVERY SONG to make up for the fact that what came before it was kind of a hot.mess. I mean really people, what was that? The lights, the arrangement, the Disco Stu like dance moves and persona. All I could think of was Neil Diamond in his hey day, image and show wise, and I am still up in the air as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

all i know is that paula abdul put adam lambert in the same category with mick jagger and steven tyler. i almost puked and fell out of my chair. it's bad enough when this talentless idiot tells these contestants what musical geniuses they are, but to put this lambert fellow in the same breath as jagger is too silly for me to even get anymore upset over.

paula abdul is a sad joke.

@Jerkwheat:

I totally went into this episode thinking they were going to have to sing songs from the current Top 40. As soon as Anoop started up with Usher's caught up I literally sank in my chair like "aww man, they meant 'ARTISTS', who have been in the Top 40 at ANY point in their careers." [Hence the faux history lesson for a minute in Ryan's studio when he dropped Casey Kasem's name?]

And let's be real. This was a Top 40 night. These kids were supposed to stunt like chart toppers right? Too many of these performances lacked any sort of connection and/or charisma with the audience. For my money there was only one good performance of the night that encapsulated what the night called for, and it was Allison's. And yeah when they introduced the Top 9 at the top of the show I was all, damn, these kids' stylists need to be shot, but you know what, I didn't pay any attention to her outfit AT ALL the way the judges did during her performance, because I was too busy BEING ENTERTAINED.

The judges were awful less night, Kara was the worst, but nothing tops Paula's gem of comparing Adam to Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler.

Really, Paula? Some wannabe mall punk kid sounds like Mick Jagger?

@Quinacridone: I will not stop demanding that Adam Lambert sing Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law". "Rock Week" NEEDS to happen.

also, unrelated, but the leakblogger's mention of the show reminded me:

my wife was watching dancing with the stars while i was doing my fantasy baseball draft (that sentence is embarrassing on several levels) but i overheard the host say something like, "...and that was the lowest judges score since the infamous Master P refused to put on the proper shoes."

priceless.
