All I know is, I'm glad there are no more chances to save Matt, Lil or Anoop.

America judges its Idols less on their singing and more on their niceness. And the bad attitude/back-chat couple -- Lil and Anoop -- will get their asses kicked off stage tonight. Good riddance to them both.

Dear Adam,

Will you please sing a Guns N' Roses song? It would make me really happy.

@mr_mr: I think Welcome to the Jungle would be right up his, ahem, alley. That would be sublime, actually.

@mr_mr: I kinda hope he doesn't. Because if he does I might actually start liking him. And dear God I pray that never happens.

I was looking forward to hearing 'MacArthur Park.' It would be right up Adam Lambert's alley:

All that sweet, green icing flowing dooooooooooowwn
Someone left the cake out in the rain!
And I don't think that I can take it,
'Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe agaaaaaaaaaain...
OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!

@Fry_Bread_Power: I don't ever wanna hear ANYONE perform MacArthur Park again. Not even for love-to-hate-it value. I've moved well past that and solidly into straight-up hate for the song by this point.
Adam Lambert's painted-on grease-paint eyebrows give me nightmares.

I don't give a damn about AI or any of these people (though Simon Cowell on Craig Ferguson was pretty funny the other night) but I love your writing Richard.

I lol'd several times.

So, Donna Summer = Disco, right. Three out of seven constestants. Sigh. Is a little imagination in song choice too much to ask?

Why did Mexicans make that video? Half way through I realized that this video had little to do with Billy Joel and it made me like it more. And yet, the Mexicans really captured Nassau County in the eighties, in the fifties about the seventies.

Danny Gokey sang some stupid song called "September"

Some stupid song?! That's Earth, Wind, and Motherfucking Fire. It's a classic!

Damn kids.

@KingOfSnake: All right, you're right. The song is good. But the Gokester made it bad.

@Richard Lawson: The Gokester makes it all bad, honey. Bad and irritating and squirmy and cringe-inducing.

That being said, this (definitely awesome) song might well be uncovereable. Anyone else remember Season 4's Gay Anwar? He was voted off after singing a (definitely awful) version of September. And I actually liked him!

Go home, Gokey!

Richard, give Arthur Russell's "Get Around to It" a listen, and I think your opinion of disco may get a lot better.
