How painful is this going to be?

It was bad all right. I was trying to guess what song the prancing balladeer would do and could not come up with a huge show tuney ballad. Leave it to him to change the godawful Tell Her about it to a ballad at the start. I can definitely see him putting out a record called Really Cheezy Songs as Interpreted by the Prancing Balladeer. And I would like to thank Simon to tell him to cut out the theatrics. Makes you want to bust out the fly swatter.
Kim C- I like this song and hated her cover. Dont know if its cuz the music (not the singing) itself sounded karaoke amdd canned - do they do this so as not to obscure the singing?- but she couldnt make up for that. By the second line of the song it became obvious to me she was gonzo.
Ruben- I hated the song he sang and he made it unhatable. But I loved him a little less this week. I think he is in a rut. Gotta agree with Simon that he needs to mix it up. Basically, Simon and I are sock puppets. We would make a wonderful couple.
Kim L- I thought she did a great job and did a nice interpretation on a classic. But I am having a hard time picking a third for the bottom three, and based on her lack of a mormom voting coalition, freedom fighter support network or gay man plus teenage girl from the midwest and south fan club, i suspect she is bottomthree by attrition. Perhaps if she went blond and got some fake tits she might stick around a little longer.
Josh- he is a no talent suck job who is passably attractive and somehow managed to go to Hollywood instead of iraq. He is in the Clay Free Pass Club.
Carmen- By the second line of her song (which I was not familiar with), I thought, this isnt terrible. Then it got really really terrible. I think I may be a better singer than her. But there seems to be a gaping hole in the Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman No Talent Idol position vacated by Britney Spears (whose movie I stared watching last might and it was worse than I could even imagine- turned it off at the Joan Jett karaoke number which seemed quite reminiscent of Carmen butchering a classic on AI, but I digress). She is firmly bottom two but I think she has a bigger voting coalition than the other bim, so the other bim goes.
trenyce- all around excellent job and nice interp on the song, a few bad notes but probably the best act last night given ruben's lasckluster performance and the all around suckitude of everyone else but kim locke.
clay-i hate that song, i hate his twittering face and cabaret expressions. If I shut my eyes, I could pretend I was in my leopard dress and rhinestone tiara anxioulsly awaiting my chance to see the great white tigers getting humiliated by Siefried and Roy as soon as this cheezy eighties cover boy got off the stage. Damn this guy for commanding the people most likely to vote obsessive-compulsively
bottom three- kim c, carmen and i guess kim locke. gone kim c
