We are going to try it again tonight and see if my head won’t spin again — too much.

Good luck, I’ll try to jump on to watch the text fly.

The only thing that dialidol has told us is that Katie Steven’s entire high school population each voted for her about 1000 times!

JT, by “fodder” do you mean filler for the ones they (19E or Cecile) choose to pimp?

Yes, filler = fodder.
I don’t have a lot of hope for the guys, who do you think they will put in the pimp spot? Garcia doesn’t need it, they can put him in the 7th-11th spot and he will be fine.

Casey, if Kara has anything to say about it!
I think I like John Park . . . but I’ve forgotten all their voices now.

Hey, John Park has a nice bottom.
He might get the pimp spot as the producers have been reminding us of him, but not letting us listen to him. I don’t mind Casey getting the spot, but if they give it to that Jim Morrison guy (is Rickster the one who came up with that name?) then I will barf on the TV. It’s a wall mounted flatscreen, so I’ll have to work out the details of how I’ll pull that off later.

Ha, JT, so you read the USA Today profiles too. That had nothing to do with my assessment, of course.

Who’s the Jim Morrison guy? I guess you won’t know until you see the show….so tell me when you get a chance.

Ok, I going to attempt to sign on the technology-hell one more time. wish me luck. If you don’t hear from me, it means I got swallowed by the cyber-god!

Wow, I have no idea what in the hell the judges are listening to. Aaron Kelly was beyond awful, I have heard injured dogs in heat screeching better than that complete utter train wreck. Painful beyond words. Worst of the week by a mile.

I didn’t think Tim Urban was as bad as the judges made him out to be, but he was not good — however he was absolutely awesome when compared to the trainwreck know as Jermaine Sellers.

I Think it’s time for Simon to leave, he looks and acts like a spoiled bored little boy. He’s remarks and attitude are so over the top it’s like he wants to make it all about him!!

Aaron Kelly you are wonderful. Simon has be my fav just listen to the feedback especially the constructive criticism it helps you grow. The judges have started to suger coat things however, Simon (I love me some Simon) and will follow him through his journey of change. Ellen I hope can pick up the honesty Simon offers.

Well, I now see why they are saying this will be a girls year, because Tyler Grady has been the closest to halfway decent, and even that is a stretch. All 6 so far need to be voted off EN MASS.

To all you fellow Luddites boycotting coveritlive, hello. Simon isn’t just controversial any more, he’s cross. I liked Aaron and Jermaine and Joe so far.

no reason your ratings have declined- what a group of losers- and can we PLEASE get RID of
ELLEN- .WHAT a WASTE of speach! If it wasn’t for SIMON and his bluntness you would not have a show at all– AM should have DIED last year- Good Luck Simon– Looking forward to your next show!
Just myself alone know 38 people who have stopped wasting the time by tuning into this joke of a season.

This is the worst group I have ever seen on AI. They may have “jump the shark”. Ellen is terrible, where is Paula?

I do like the coveritlive chat, but my vote means nothing because I won’t use it. Sure, I’d pop in on occasion, and use it some during the results shows (I skip most of those shows anyway), but that is very minor. I was impressed that I could use it with my iPhone while riding the train.
Sounds like it will be a great show, great as in I get to laugh at how bad everyone is.

Idol has done it again. Another flatline opening. It seems that our judges are tired of do this. They are not enjoying it. Let’s remember, they chose each one of the contestants and they are responsible for them being on the show. I would like to know why they always tell the some singers are told they’re oversing the songs when they sing something soulful, but when other sings who have managed to develop a soulful style that does the same thing is said to be great.

Agree with D…Casey & Andrew were leaps & bounds over the other guys.

Rosita, if a technophobe like me (I don’t even do ATMs) can blog on coveritlive, you can too!

Mercedes S., it isn’t that I CAN’T do coveritlive, it’s that I choose not to.
It’s like strapping a pair of long sticks on my feet and hurtling myself down a slick snowcovered hill. I can do it, just don’t care to.
I have an iphone and skype, so I don’t hate technology per se — I just hate the things that don’t give me pleasure.
Please Rodney please — don’t do that no more.

I figure you can’t get everybody to like something like coveritlive. It has its distinct advantages and disadvantages, which I’ll detail tomorrow or Friday. I will be doing regular live blogging tomorrow for results…
