But then let us look at the panel. Paula Abdul started in the backup and ended up judging a talent show. A bad talent show. Stick a fork in it! Simon is no one from nowhere. The other dude was in a group that was famous for a fleeting minute. Yawn! Tired!

That "Stand By Me" wasn't bad at all. And it would have been horrific if the band had sat behind him playing the regular version.

Still, homeless-emo boy needs to pulls his shit together, and quick. Take Hova's advise, and make "the song cry."

You're supposed to wait for somebody else to say that.

You can't say, "I saved that baby from the burning building! That took a hell of a lot of guts!" Then everyone else will be like, "Yeah, he's a hero and all, but what a douchebag."

I know. But dude lives in his car!

Really glad to hear the group-singing round is gone, though, I thought that was where the auditioning process went astray last year and they ended up with such a lame top 24.

I even kinda liked the weird-emo "Stand By Me" -- judges were too harsh on that. Although they were right to give him a stern warning 'cuz he obviously can't pull that dismissing-the-band shit on the live show.

Does anyone else hear a Conor Oberst thing going on in his quavery voice, or is that just me and my blinkered field of influences?

@Fennessey: Double serious. I've gone from sort of blithely tolerating Carly to near-rage over the unfairness of her being given a pass. She was truly mediocre last night. 'Round my house, during "Alone," the wife and I both said, "Underwood did that so much better" at almost the same instant.

I want to beat him to death with his guitar.
Or run over him with his car.

Despite that he whines a lot.
