It's a two-fer.

Here's how this goes: Kara backhandedly insults their singing by complimenting their looks and "package-ness," Paula basically parrots what Kara said, then they all tell them they chose the wrong song. How is that helpful or constructive? Everyone sounded out of breath tonight and I don't know if they were just nervous or if it was cold in there, or what?

Jasmine: This was so painful. And I love that song, so . . . sadness!
Matt: This was so painful. He sounded like a goat.
Jeanine: This was so painful. Why did these people get this far? And what was the whole inside joke going on about lips between Simon and Kara?
Nick/Norman: I would like to see him get a job doing crazy interviews with people online. But he needs to go.
Allison: Finally. Someone can sing! Loved her.
Kris: Oh, ouch. I don't care for Man in the Mirror anyway, and he sort of butchered it in places.
Megan: She's so adorable! She's going to die when she sees how twitchy she looked up there. I want her to stick around.
Matt: I love his slow-motion robot dance. His singing was unfortunately boring.
Jesse: I like her, and I like that she chose Betty Davis Eyes. She is sort of forgettable but I hope she gets to the next round. She seems more comfortable on camera than most and her body is banging.
Kai: Boooooooooooooooring.
Mishavonna: I actually really liked this. I thought her voice sounded far fuller than anyone else. And that dress? I covet it.
Adam: That was too over the top for me, too Stones-on-jazzercize for me, but it was solid singing and he deserves to go through.

My picks: Allison, Megan, Mishavonna.

Thursday:
You know what's my favorite thing about Tivo? Fast-forwarding through those horrible group numbers. I watched the whole episode in ten minutes flat.

Allison. Fantastic!
Matt. What?
Oh hey, it's the Coal Miner's Daughter again. Still hate her. BloopBloop, thanks Tivo!
Adam. Of course.

Who will we see in the wildcard round? I'm guessing Tatiana will rear her crazy head again, and maybe Mishavonna?

I love the closing dance montage at the end. Especially when it includes the blind guy. High five! Oh, wait . . .
