Kinda liked half; kinda didn't like the other half.
Kinda liked:
Alaina: Pleasantly surprised; I figured she and Kady would be interchangeable. But did Paula say Diana Ross' rendition of the song was "dreadful"? Wow, guess she won't be guest judging again.
Kady: See above. Also love the impressions.
Amanda: Love how mom looked like a Stepford wife. Also, couldn't help but think her insurance company probably is not loving her for admitting on national TV that she pulled out in front of the semi....
Brooke: Love her. Bonus for getting Simon to talk about "washing up liquid"
Ramiele: Cute.
Asia'h: Like her, but she seems a little too happy when she talks about dead dad.
Kinda didn't like:
Kristy: Meh.
Joanne: Meh again.
Amy: Tritto meh.
Alexandrea: Agree with Simon on this one. Did. Not. Get. It.
Syesha: Don't love the song; she seemed cocky.
Carly: Overrated. And she makes weird faces when she sings. Also cocky--"being sick is no excuse." And what's with the flu? It somehow escaped all the boys?
So here's something non-reality TV related. I know, pick your jaws up off the floor. I am excited about this election year and love how the whole country seems energized. It seems that both parties have candidates that people are really excited about, not just "the lesser of two evils" as seems to have been the case the last couple elections. Illinois has an open primary, and I didn't even know which primary I was going to vote in until I literally checked the box on election day. I get the Obamania, though the longer the campaign wears on, the more his luster is wearing off. Like this whole deal with whether he'll abide by his campaign finance pledge if he wins the nomination--flip-flopping is very unflattering, especially on a politician who seemed so refreshingly unpolitical. And I think Michelle Obama has handled her comments about being proud of her country (or more accurately, lack of pride) really poorly. You know what? People don't want to hear backpedaling and political spinning. "What she really meant is...." Bullshit. She meant what she said and I would have respected her a lot more if she owned up to it: "Yes, it's been a rough last several years, with the U.S. in a war it has no business being in, having the majority of the rest of the world hate us because of it, having an economy going in the toilet because of funding this ill-advised war, but guess what? I sense change, and that makes me proud." Damn--maybe I should be her publicist....
