That 16-year old guy that resembled Tyson Beckford? HOT! Now I feel dirty for thinking a 16-year old is cute.

He reminded me of Henry Simmons but less plastic Ken doll-like. I was all, hey baby! Then I realized he was a baby and felt like a perv. When's he 18??

Ian Bernardo is on! He fuckin' cracked me up on So You Think You Can Dance, and now he's finally resurfaced!

I totally dig Osama bin Jesus and that Sunshine fool. They have excellent voices!

I tuned in late, and I swear to God, said out loud, "Why the hell is Joan Collins guest-judging on American Idol"?

Who was that?

I thought she looked just like Joan Collins, too! So bizarre!

She wrote the theme from "Ice Castles," so she knows quality!

Oh dude, I know. He was so sweet, too. And then they're all "He's 16." My first, horrifying thought is that I was his age, when he was born. EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

But he sang well, so he's on my list.

Get out! She wrote "Groovy Kind of Love" and "That's What Friends Are For," which were big favorites of mine back in the day. Hee! And yes, right there with ya on Joan Collins.

I only saw parts of the episode, but I got the feeling that this might have been one of the judging sessions where there was tension between the regulars and the guest judge.

I cannot WAIT for the two best friends to completely implode in Hollywood. The taller, hotter friend was better. Not by much, but enough so that if she develops a personality, she'll blow by the other one.

Next week is Hollywood group sings, right? I don't think I can take this any longer. The freakshow aspect is wearing me out.

The 30th is Birmingham, and traditionally we tend to have pretty good singers. It's probably the only audition show I'll be able to watch all the way through, just because it's the home team, so to speak.

I loved the best-friend Jersey girls from a TV drama point of view--it was obvious that the blonde one wanted it more but was simultaneously less talented, and was kind of pushing her friend to the background, and the friend was letting her.

And it was excruciating at the time, but I loved how fakey-fake dramatic the "Simon! You don't understand!" girl's speech was. Like, I have no doubt she was genuinely desperate, but she expressed it in such a stagey, melodramatic way.

Also, my mom kept asking, "Why is she a judge? She's an actress!" I finally realized that she, too, thought it was Joan Collins up there.

Dude the dramatic girl? She totally got that speech of As the World Turns...it totally sounds like something Emily would shreak at Paul. Either way...HA! I mean with the music and the dramatic pauses...genius.

Yeah, Ashanti's soap opera monologue definitely took the crown from that Brittenum twin's "My spirit has been {dramatic pause} BUH-ROKEN" speech from last year. I felt bad for her but I was laughing when they started in with the soap music, because it was just so perfect. She should audition for "Days of Our Lives".

Of course, I've always thought that a director was one of the better guest judges they've ever had (in that he actually gave real criticism--I loved his comment of "Yes, you sing it nicely, but...so what? I feel like there's a wall between me and you" to DeGarmo), so Joan Collins would have made just as much sense. Hell, who knows, she might have actually had something interesting to say.

Then again, I'm still getting over the fact that Jewel, of all people, actually seemed to have real insight last week.

Yeah, Quentin Tarantino was probably the best. Plus he was so awesomely random.
