Random thoughts about the performance of the boys last night…

People are definitely starting to utilize a few of the time-honored (as much as possible in the seventh season) techniques to move on in this competition.

1. In the early rounds, it’s more about hair than singing.
2. In the early rounds, a big finish to your song gets you on to the next week.
3. In any round, talking back to the judges is NOT a good idea.
4. If you have to tell them who you are then you are not doing your job.
5. NEVER be boring.

So…how did our boys do?

DAVID HERNANDEZ: Enough with the single mom and low income backstory. You would think such a past would have made you, oh..i don’t know…NOT boring. But you were. Sucks to be first. And bad.

CHIKEZE EZI: I lost you couple of times when your suit melded into the background.

DAVID COOK: That mischevious smile will get you through a couple of rounds. It’s hot. The judges liked this guy, but I thought it sounded bad, so maybe we are back to the sounds better there than on TV thing.

JASON YEAGER: A very good looking man who dresses well. As Simon likes to say: too bad for him this is a SINGING competition.

ROBBIE CARRICO: If you have to defend your identity as a rocker, you might NOT be a rocker, dude. Sounded pretty good for a pop singer.

DAVID ARCHULETA: I am thinking about not being so critical about a 17 year old kid, except to say that maybe they should not be able to compete. Odd for me to say this when he was lauded by Simon as the best of the night. It just sounded kinda whiny to me.

DANNY NORIEGA: I have already submitted a post about this man. He is either gay or he is the greatest evidence we will ever have that gay twink culture has gone completely mainstream.

LUKE MENARD: Completely handsome man. Bad singer. Call Tyra.

COLTON BERRY: The kid who thinks he looks too much like Ellen Degeneris may need to just come on out, too. He and Danny will be sent home in consecutive weeks, soon. And…they just might go on home together. Twinky love!

GARRETT HALEY: Don’t want to waste too much space here because he will be gone. Even the hair rule won’t save this one.

JASON CASTRO: Okay, so you got the hair too, but you can actually sing. And, underneath all those dreads is a smolderingly good-looking, clearly straight (damn) man. It doesn’t matter if you can or can’t dance…I can just watch your eyebrows!

MICHAEL JOHNS: Hot Aussies always do something for us gay guys. He can sing, too. I think Michael Johns will be in the final 2.
