In what is undoubtedly the most un-rock and roll thing Slash has ever done . . .

Slash! I think he scares Danny.

Adam: Eff yeah, he's singing Led Zeppelin! I love this song. At the top it sounds a little *too* much like Robert Plant. My only complaint is that he should be dripping sex when he sings this song and I'm not sure he's doing it for me. But CHEESE AND CRACKERS this kid can sing.

Allison: I really wish she had chosen to sing Grace Slick. She sounds great, but I feel like we've heard this from her before. Oh Kara, it's like you're in costume! Third grade me loves it. Allison is so composed for someone her age. I hope she has a career after this. I feel bad for Gokey and Kris, having to follow these two.

I LOVE DUETS. They both sound strained, no? Yikes, Kris sounds sorta bad. Do you think Kara stopped with the "package" gibberish because she got so thoroughly called out that night? Paula's rack looks terrific tonight. She should stick with whoever taped them tonight.

Kris: Come together. I wouldn't have chosen this song. My guess is the judges will say the same. I'm underwhelmed, though I'd still like him to put a baby in me. Simon says it was "rather like eating ice for lunch." We have been sadly lacking in these kind of analogies all season.

Danny is going to sing Dream On! I'm curious if he'll be able to pull this off, as this is another song where the proverbial cock needs to be out. Gokey has zero sex appeal, so color me skeptical. His voice sounds half gone--I'm guessing because of practicing that ending. OUCH. I hate this. Awful, awful, awful. Dream on, indeed.

Duet! Slow Ride! This is *so* Allison and Adam's show, letting them bookend like this. I'm all goosebumpy. I want these two to go on tour and just do this all night. Their unbridled giddiness is adorable.

Going home: Kris or Allison, sadly. The poor girl can't seem to catch a break.

I'm sorry I've been so absent--everyone's snark has been so great and comment-worthy and I've been swamped with house buying stuff. It's hard being an HGTV star-wannabe.

  1. Yay Heather! You're back! Gokey and sex appeal don't even belong in the same sentence and as far as 'Gokey' and 'cock', well, I don't even want to touch that one. Sadly, we will likely have to endure him right down to the final.

  2. Hee hee Darla doesn't want to touch Gokey's cock. And Heather thinks Paula should "stick" with her tit-taper.

    Gokey sounded like a velociraptor on that last note. Simon was right: more "horror movie" shriek than rock star scream.

    I love Allison, but she was flat (aka "pitchy") on some of her notes, and no one called her on it. Interesting.

    Loved the duets. Both of them, actually. I agree that the harmonies were the best thing about Kris and Danny.

  3. If Kara wants to use the word "package" again, she should check out Glambert's trousers during his duet with Allison. Yowsa!

  4. I think the producers have required Adam to tone it down, and that's why he wasn't all groin-y when he should've been last night. I noticed in earlier eps that they kept cutting away from him when he'd do more suggestive gestures, and he seems to have pretty much cut it out now. I suspect this is why he's seemed a bit less exuberant in the last few weeks.
