"God Bless the Child" on Idol?

Pops, I am not calling him out an anything. In fact, I never even made the connection between his autism, Tourette, and emotional stability, and certainly never looked at him as "disabled" (like apparently you do, and may be I should have). I am just making the objective observation that having an emotional break-down ever other song is not helpfull if you aspire to a professional career in showbusiness.

I'm surprised that James is gone and The Bumpkin is still in it. "In It to Win It". Randy, please drop that phrase. I would rather hear "Dog" a thousand times...
Anyway, "The Voice" has some interesting talent, think I'll be watching more of that show.

haley has got "it" as far as i am concerned. can you imagine anyone else on the show singing led zepplin and alanis morrisette songs so well? and to try rhiannon could have really backfired. but it didn,t. she has star quality which is the point of the show i think. but the ballot stuffing kiddoes will have their say....and she got to experience the showbiz saying "break a leg" haha

Artistically, Haley is in the zone I relate to best but practically I think she will have a tough time beating out the other two who are more mainstream. We'll see...

I enjoyed all the performances last night and think all three are worthy of stardom.

I always liked Haley, and she is getting better every week. Her problem is identity - she has been all over the map and this week completely out of the blue she does a rocker chick act. Although it worked out very well, my take is she is so obsessed with winning this whatever it takes, she deliberately went after the James Durbin votes this week. Does not hurt she is kinda cute and has an attitude either ....
