Miss Pixie, those are fightin' words you're using over my Norman Gentle! I do understand he's using up space that might rightfully belong to a more technically perfect or just plain more "deserving" singer, but damn it if I don't look forward to what he's going to do next, and I can't say that about any other contestant at this point. He's fodder and won't be around long, but I'm loving him while he's there!

The only other performer to capture my interest is Adam Lambert who strikes me as a very flamboyant Cookie with a better head of hair.

Psychotic, the Matt and Michael Sing-off you wrote about gave me flashbacks to Season Four when they pulled the same thing with Bo Bice & Constantine. Who knew Bo would prove to be such a delightful human being (and my second fave contestant of all time) and Constantine was actually a first-class prick? Ah, memory lane....
