I think Haley comes off with a sense of self-entitlement (my parents have been in this business for forty eleven years yada yada yada). Plus, she DOES smile when she sings, even when it's NOT appropriate (it's not a happy song) and that bugs me even more!

I actually don't see that in Haley at all...I just think she's been groomed/programmed to be a singer (and she does have an amazing voice) but has a hard time putting any real life experience behind it. I think she has great potential but at this point not a lot of personal warmness that compels you to want to vote for her.

Roxi, it was something she said either during the auditions or during the early stages before top whatever was selected. It stuck with me and cuz I remember it I see it in her. Often.

Remember during the auditions the girl that was crying and they gave her a second chance to sing again? Was that Lauren or someone else?

I don't believe it was Lauren...Lauren came in strong and rocked a duet with Steven during her audition. I remember Haley talking about her parents being in a band and her being raised by them onstage pretty much her whole life. She probably doesn't know anything else. Quite honestly it's Casey's tears that I don't always find genuine, and I really like Casey's quirkiness...but I think he should listen to the mentors more. What a judge finds awesome and special isn't always appealing to us out in the real world.

Why did I think Costa was a Siamese?

It wasn't Lauren... Roxi's right, it was Lauren who did the Aerosmith song. With Steven singing chorus! I think the girl who cried didn't get past Hollywood rounds. Or Las Vegas. Or whatever it was.... It wasn't the girl from New Jersey was it? The one who couldn't find anyone to partner up with during group round? Actually, Roxi, you called her Boobstar! I just went and looked at the audition posts. I guess it wasn't Boobstar who cried to be let thru to the next round after all! Roxi. Costa was part Siamese. Part alley cat. Part love kitteh. Mostly a mixed bag of the sweetest thing ever!

Pia is singing on Ellen right now. Pia is a good singer. But... even listening to her, in another room, I just don't "feel" her. Does that make sense? And I hate that last note she hangs on to... Sometimes, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should!

I keep thinking of that word "charisma" and that's the difference between a star and someone who can sing good.

Oh and I loved Casey last nite...that made me think of long ago and nights listening to Nat King Cole...and jazz music that would make you feel sexy. But I don't think Casey has a chance in American Idol. Hopefully he will get to make an album that I can buy, play and think of my lost youth.

Loved Nat King Cole, don't love Casey. Like Paul, he was entertaining. My favorite was Scotty, but he is getting too cheezy, hard to watch sometimes. I still think he might win though.

I think Jimmy would be a good judge, but don't know if he'd garner the ratings that the current judges do.

Panda, according to an interview given by Nigel, which I read prior to this season starting, there will be no more theme weeks and elimination shows will only be thirty minutes.

She is supposedly dating that Mark Ballas dude, so there's a tie-in there.
