Both my wife and I laughed out loud.

Dolly week will be must see TV. There is NO way that won’t be bad. (I’d pay to see what someone would do with 9 to 5, say…David Cook or Jason Castro. Absolutely pay.)

I’m sure Syesha (if she’s still there) will call dibs on “I Will Always Love You”.

However, I’m at a complete loss as to what the theme will be when Mariah Carey is the mentor of the week…

She’s actually written some terrific songs. You know someone will be unable to resist doing Whitney’s version of “I Will Always Love You.”

KLC is like Carmen Rasmussen. Can’t sing, is always bottom 3 but just keeps living somehow. Every season has one! I’m thinking they have to keep her alive for Dolly Parton week (oh, the horror…)

They probably lose 3/4 of their visitors because of the home page takeover from overstock.com.

#20: I was just happy the judges knew and referenced Eva Cassidy and Jeff Buckley. I’m blown away when Simon sometimes doesn’t know a song the contestants are singing.

Is Kristy Lee Cook this year’s Sanjaya, just prettier?

American Idol is not treating the Beatles well and it’s horrifying to see how little the performers know about this music.

I thought Simon’s comment about Kristy Lee Cook singing “musical wallpaper” was right on target. She makes me think of those blonde robot women in the Austin Powers movie. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

David Archuleta’s “Long and Winding Road” bored me. But that’s not a Beatles song I’m into as much. I wasn’t quite sure why the judges were so hyper-positive about that performance.

When Brooke White started singing “Here Comes the Sun” in that yellow dress, I kept thinking “Here Comes Big Bird …”

I liked the Day Tripper performance – even though I bagged on that guy the previous week.
