I'm watching American Idol right now.

Since I'm cooking dinner and have nothing to do, I guess I'll do a mini play by play.

- The guy who sang 'You Raise Me Up' looked like he could sing. He even started out OK. And then he remembered the words....and maybe forgot how to sing. The stunned silence of the judges was hilarious. And then the dude burst out crying. Hey, it's ok little buddy, I burst out crying when you were singing, too.

- Does Toni Braxton know that this guy is impersonating her cousin? Was he singing in English? Did he think that singing in Romulan would get him in with Simon? No way, baby, he's Klingon all the way.

- What a story - the lady who sold her wedding ring to pay for her trip. That was mean of Simon to bring in her husband and kid, just to say that he doesn't think she should make it through to the next round. But as happy as I am that Paula voted to let her in, I really don't think she's got what it takes.

- I was almost expecting the girl who's parents were British to suck ass. But she was awesome. With really incredible eyes.

- So that thing with the guy holding his note after singing 'Tomorrow' was SO staged. But funny. He looked a big Grimace - the big purple mascot of McDonald's.

- OK, so I really thought that the guy who was poplocking and dancing (he even did the heartbeat!) and who did the wardrobe change was going to suck at singing. But his rendition of 'Isn't She Lovely' was sweet. And he really looks YUMMY.

- Who would ever choose 'Kissing You' as an audition song? The song is super hard to sing. Doesn't she have family or friends around to tell her that it's a bad idea to sing that song?

- They said 'no' to the boxer? I thought she did a great job...ESPECIALLY for being 17. I think it was an asset rather than a handicap like the judges thought.

- Is Mary the next William Hung? No chance. He was much worse and much more huggable.
