Here's the John Stevens website. He has a great voice. He should hook up with Harry Connick Jr.

I didn't remember Federov doing crooner songs, though.

I don't either. I do remember another crooner competing against Stevens, though, but I don't think he made the top 12. I could be misremembering things though.

And to me!

I don't doubt that she has all kinds of chronic pain, but if you're slurring your words and acting all mushy and looped out, then legitimate or not, your drug-taking is impairing your abilities.

Such that they are, natch.

He did get married, and recently had a kid.

He's also recovering from two surgeries in the second half of 2005 (August and December, I believe), which may explain his weight fluctuation. He had intestinal problems.

[AspenMama]

Ah poor guy.

2 more days....till the season premier!

[livius drusus]

Two words: pit stains.

[livius drusus]

Four words: Simon is a cocksucker.

[D. Scarlatti]

How can you people watch this show?

[viscousmemories]

How can anyone not?

[Crumb]

I don't. It isn't difficult.

[D. Scarlatti]

Did I mention I found nude photos of Paula Abdul online one time and she has a giant muff?

[AspenMama]

Damn, between carting my kids to karate class after work, working out, grabbing some dinner, going over 1st grade spelling words and various other duties-- I missed it.

Recap anyone??? The only thing I caught was the Ukranian girl singing that old Queen song "Momma, I just killed a man..." in a very awkard high lilting voice. Poor thing, back to the wilds with her. "No Visa for you!"

Oh you want to baby, you know you do....

[viscousmemories]

Recap: A bunch of people sang and performed. Some were attractive and sang well, others were funny looking and sucked. Simon was mean, Paula and Randy were bland.

Simon and I agreed that the Ukranian chick was built for porn.

Except I'm on a tight schedule, and I'm taping The Bachelor in Paris.
The only chance I get to watch it is during American Idol's time slot.

Thanks bunches-- I had no idea it would be like that.

I'll have the Eggs Zachary, thank you very much.

You didn't miss much. This part of the show just isn't as funny as it used to be--at least it wasn't last night. The "highlights" include: one girl who obviously spent too much time at the tanning salon (and her scary mother who looked like a hooker), a guy who came to the show dressed in, I believe, a Turkish outfit, a spastic dude who jumped around a lot and who surprising made the next round despite not being able to sing. Most of the people last night were just mediocre-to-bad singers. The only people that stood out as being really good were a set of twins who serenaded Paula. I hope tonight is better.

I don't get it! You mean you liked that Zachary kid? He had a great voice, but I suspect you mean something else.

That was an improvement, imo, but I've always preferred the competitive aspect to the mockery of inept or unattractive people.

Really that spastic guy had a decent voice, it was just hard to distinguish while he was bouncing around. I think if he calms down he could be a contender. I definitely got the impression that they put him through just for comic relief, though.

[livius drusus]

I felt really bad for that skinny guy who spent a year taking vocal lessons only to get told by Simon he should shave his beard and become a female impersonator. His voice was fine, imo, certainly better than the spaz's voice. Poor kid.

[Dingfod]

The spaz shouldn't have made it at all.

[AspenMama]

Heh, welcome to Denver folks. I caught some of the show between dinner and homework duties....

[Dingfod]

I missed it because the sheriff's officer showed up at the house to take a report on the stolen credit cards.

Did I miss a post where you expand on this?
