I know I’m supposed to be providing commentary on this week’s performances, and I will, but first I need to have a heart to heart with you people while I have your attention.
This Sanjaya business has got to stop. Please, for the love of God, do your part to end this nonsense. If your husband, [...]

Hello intrepid AI followers, jesvet filling in for the week. So it’s the big time now, huh? The Top 12. The ones everyone remembers, at least for the next couple months, at which point they recede back into Constantine Maroulis/Diana DeGarmo territory. Or worse, Jon Peter Lewis territory. Who, you ask?
