CATTICISMS

Zinni: I wonder if because Phillip's first and last names sound the same that he thinks all his songs need to sound the same too. How bad are things when the judges give him a standing O for simply sticking to the melody?

Zoey: There must be lots of "over the top" drinking games going on. Steven needs a new favorite saying. And I need an interpreter to understand what on earth he's talking about half the time. And excuse me? It doesn't matter if you hit the notes or not? Give me a break.

Zinni: What's J.Lo talking about? Phillip has been Joe Cocker from day one! Hollie needs just a smidgen of Skylar's performance skills and she'll be gold.

Zoey: It was kind of hard to hear the show over Randy's jacket. And why does Randy need to keep reminding us that he used to be relevant? David Cook tomorrow night! Woo!

This week on American Idol, Scotty McCreery sings "Please Remember Me" to Skylar Laine, who despite her professional performances and charming personality got the lowest number of votes. There's little doubt, however, that she will do quite well for herself.
