  1. Gregory, I can't tell if your suggestions are serious or tongue in cheek -- or both? Ghastly Gokey doing "This Is It" would've been absolutely perfect for him, in an entirely annoying way.

    I can't believe Kris let them put him in the enthusiasm-sucking fan circle -- though he picked such a horrible song, it probably wouldn't have made any difference. Do you think they MADE him perform there? He had to have seen how stupid Matt looked when he did it. And did I mention I HATE, HATE, HATE "All She Wants To Do Is Dance"? If not, let me mention now: I HATE, HATE, HATE that song. Even if I didn't hate it, what a STUPID choice for this show.

    If Scott hadn't been so horrible I'd have been ready for Lil to go home tonight -- she hasn't been particularly good in any performance the whole season. Anoop was a'ight.

    Allison was good as always, I really enjoyed Matt, and of course Adam killed. Which means I'll be really pissed when Allison or Matt gets sent home tonight. Arrggghh!

  2. I think my suggestions were mostly serious... FOR THAT PERSON. For example, I would have hated Scott doing any of my suggestions for him, but they were all the kinds of songs he picks, and all songs he could do well.

    Seriously, I would have loved to see Kris doing Raspberry Beret, or Allison doing Smells Like Teen Spirit, or Matt doing Smooth Operator. They all just pick such Middle of the Road, Safe, Predictable things most of the time.

    Snore.

  3. And yeah, I put Sting on there just to make your head explode at the thought of Scott murdering it.

  4. I can live with people murdering Sting -- or even lame later Police stuff (my feelers don't get hurt about "Every Breath You Take"). There is some good Sting stuff, but I would just think they were stupid song choices rather than blasphemy.

    Do you hate Anoop so much that you'd really want him to do "Hip to be Square" or "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off"? Or these would've been his worst possible choices? They're hilarious.

  5. Anoop just seems so square, but in a hip way. I mean, he dresses like Peter Brady, but almost pulls off things like My Prerogative while only seeming a tiny bit ironic. I guess my song choices were with that in mind. Hilarious, yes... but maybe also surprisingly good in some sort of unbelievable way? (Or, okay, maybe just plain old hilarious.)
