Thank god we're done with the Beatles, is all I have to say.

I love that all Ryan has to say about Simon's new million dollar car is that it doesn't have AC. I feel this says a great deal about the essence of their relationship. I was against the call-in (not that Ryan can't handle it; he hosts a daily a.m. drive radio show after all) but if it's going to keep bringing the Rymon, I'm all about it.

Also, Ryan's stance on the stage totally showed off how well his jacket fit over his ass. I really liked the striped shirt, very subtle. But the incipient faux hawk makes him look like a Top Cheftestant. Stick with the Tin-Tin flip, sweetie, or you won't be able to stay so much sexier than Simon.

I am so pissed off. I can't even deal. I voted for Amanda a bunch of times last night. And I really can't stand Kristy Lee in any way. And Amanda was GREAT. I'm so mad that we won't be able to see her singing anymore. However, I love that they let her sing the whole song for her sing-out. That was pretty awesome. The band clearly loves her. No cookies for anyone—no one called that one.

Dude, half of my reason for caring about this batch of performers is gone now. :(

The other half is Chikezie, and I hope he wins it all, dammit.

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

Seriously--wtf? KLC is still there? And they lost Amanda? How did that happen?

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

Chikezie has really been a big surprise to me. Who knew? :D

A lot of popular people had a bad week, so there was the usual "save so-and-so" vote that always results in a weird elimination. I'm mostly just mad she won't be on the tour.

[honestys-easy.livejournal.com]

ugh. UGH.

For the second time in two weeks, I thought that maybe, yeah, the person that went deserved to be in the bottom three, but not by any means eliminated. And I was really looking forward to Amanda on tour, too :(

Well, screw that, definitely not going this year.

Amanda was in the #1 death slot. And I think she hurt herself by basically saying, I'll stand up and sing on the back of a flatbed truck and I'll sing only rocking songs that all sound the same just like what Simon is telling me right now not to do ... I wish she'd been able to find a Bonnie Raitt style ballad or something. She would have killed Love Has No Pride.

What you said. :(

is it wrong that i desperately want some car!fic? from you? -bats eyelashes-

[jlh.livejournal.com]

I thought of that when I saw the pictures of the car, because it definitely could be Ryan riding shotgun with him, and now we know that Ryan clearly has been in that car. But I can't decide if Simon would think it awesome to have sex in the car, or if he's like, no naked asses on this leather.

[best-of-five.livejournal.com]

that is a good point. mebbe ryan wants to find out and pushes simon's boundaries :D

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I'm not a huge Amanda fan, but I couldn't believe Kristy stayed and Amanda got kicked off. WTF?! But I agree with Simon that the second week of Beatles songs was probably a bad idea.

[amyamy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm so bummed. I loffed Amanda and am so very wtf that Kristy is going on and she's not. Woe.

[zorb]

UGH.

Fuck that shit, for serious. They lose a lot of the special-uniqueness theme with this elimination.

[ziggy1278.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I don't want to watch show anymore. Dumb. Just dumb.

Also Michael Johns is an idiot. Two weeks in a row he has refused to see or admit why he sucked. And if he thinks that was a good arrangement or a good song choice, he is actually just a nice, well-spoken guy who sings karaoke really really well.

[ziggy1278.livejournal.com]

Is it possible people didn't vote for her because they just assumed she was safe so they voted for someone they liked who did shitty? Like, say, Ramiele? Cause I assumed she was safe. There is a flaw in the system here. Did I mention before that... dumb?

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's exactly what happened, and why Ryan scolds so much about how you can't assume anyone is safe and you always have to vote for your favorites to keep them on the show. I would have said this but I was too mad.

On a night like Tuesday, when so many good and popular people looked like they were in trouble (like Brooke and Chikezie) folks make sure to vote for them to "save" them, and forget to vote for singers who they might not vote for every week, but who were really good that particular week. This is why Carly was in the bottom three; this is how Daughtry got voted off during Elvis week when he was really good but Kat wasn't, so people voted to save her because they liked her, and forgot to vote for him; and how Jennifer Hudson got voted off so early. It didn't help that Amanda was on first. But on this show, you either need a big group of really loyal voters, or you need to be so good you cannot be denied.

Amanda might have appealed to people who watch the show but don't vote, and that might have been her undoing, unfortunately. I'm just mad because it means she won't be on the tour.
