    So far, you’re batting a thousand: Paige Miles and Todrick Hall didn’t make it.

    I agree with your assessment otherwise, as well. Michael and Crystal are clearly setting the standards.

    Crystal made it…as if there was any doubt.

    She didn’t look good, though. When she sat down, one of the men asked her if she was okay.

    Her trip to the hospital was, reportedly, for complications from diabetes. (Type 1, I’m guessing, based on her age.) That’s a tough row to hoe.

    Alex Lambert is gone. I really like his voice, but he seems awkward and uncomfortable onstage.

    I would be, too, but I’m a truck driver, so who gives a shit?

    Wow…Lilly Scott’s gone. Didn’t see that coming. Too bad…Lilly makes me wish I was 30 years younger.

    …and “Yes”, I have too much time on my hands.

    One other thing: I can’t wait to hear what Crystal sings from the Rolling Stones catalog.

    All of the other picks to leave were pretty obvious. I think they ditched Lilly Scott on the “we’ve already got too many weird chicks” rule. That young girl they got rid of has a really nice voice, but she can’t sing at all. She needs a lot of work on understanding music. Lilly was actually a real singer, even if she was as weird as it gets.

    They’ve got the highest weird/quirky content in show history. They’ll probably still pick something neutered for the winner though.

    That was tough last night. I hated to lose Lily, Lambert and Katelyn. All of them were some of my favorites. Although truthfully, I have a lot of favorites this year. I think AI has more weird contestants this season than ever before. That’s probably part of the problem for those three. I think most people thought they would be safe and were more concerned about other weird contestants (Lacey, Didi, Garcia). That was my thinking at least.

    Should have been you Paige, Katie and Aaron Kelly.

    What about General Larry Platt? He’s better than ANY of them.

    Tim Urban is clearly the vote for the worst.
