This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I honestly don’t get it. But then again, every year, something happens and I immediately turn the show off and don’t watch for a couple of weeks, because I know most of the votes are coming from 12 year olds.

The year Jennifer Hudson was voted off, I stopped watching for the rest of the season.

But honestly, after Jason’s bloody massacre of “Memory”, and Brooke White’s bad Madonna impersonation, I assumed America would get it right. But really?

Really?

Archuletta’s got a beautiful voice, you can’t take that away from him, but to be honest, it was David’s dead on, stirring rendition of Music of The Night that stole the show. He was the only performer that understood in order to sing a show tune you have to actually act. You’ve got to have tools. You’ve got to go deep into the song and at least try and understand what the heck you’re conveying. It’s about the text as well as the vocal. And with that, come natural and progressive Gestures, Shapes and a forward Tempo everyone can feel.

But her? I didn’t think she was that bad.

And this was my favorite quote of the night from Abdul:

"You must never start and stop," (Referring to Brooke starting the song over when she flubbed a lyric).

How the heck would YOU know that, Paula? They’ve never started and stopped the CD you lip synch to, have they?
