All I said was that I didn't like Alex. Then someone said ban Steve and you did. I have told alot of people about your website and can't understand why you would ban me.

Even on this inferior set-up, though, I could still hear Siobhan's voice going out of tune and even cracking on her big note. I doubt that a higher-end stereo set-up would have improved that. Maybe it's just me. To answer your question, Doug, I watch the show on a HDTV with standard-issue speakers (they are allegedly stereo, although I don’t know about that).

Look, God knows I appreciate risk-takers, and I really admired what Siobhan was trying to do last night (it was kind of like a "Moulin Rouge" version of an Evanescence song). However, there is just NO excusing that ear-splitting, blood-curdling, Jamie Lee Curtis-esque scream at the end! If we're going to crucify Danny Gokey for his bum note at the end of "Scream On" (and rightfully so- it was just dreadful), we have to do the same with Siobhan here. For anyone who wants to compare Siobhan's (rather gratuitous) high note to the high notes that Adam Lambert hit last year (that includes you, "Idol" judges), I would really ask you to go back and listen to that performance again. There is a HUGE difference between Adam's rock wail- which was nearly always in tune, btw- and the flat-out SCREAM that Siobhan let out last night. For the judges to say that performance was better than Crystal's is just laughable (and before you call me a bitter MamaSox fan, please go back and read my previous comments about her; I don't think that I've ever said anything as harsh about Siobhan as when I called Crystal "Taylor Hicks 2.0"). I really, really wanted to like Siobhan's performance tonight, but the Gokey moment just ruined it for me. Sorry. The majority of the remaining performances tonight were just too forgettable to garner their own mention, but I do think that we need to give special attention to a certain Mr. Tim Urban. With all due respect to the posters on this board, I think that we've all done Tim a great disservice (myself included). Like many of you, I thought young Timothy was merely a talentless cipher who was just scraping by in this competition via his good looks alone. Little did I know that, beneath his bland, suburban exterior, there lies the soul of a master comedian. I mean, it takes some kind of mad genius to take one of the nastiest, most misogynistic songs that Mick Jagger ever wrote and turn it into a harmless, Jack Johnson-style ditty that is custom-built to get votes from dopey tween girls. That one had me laughing all night. Bravo, Mr. Urban, bravo!! John in KC, you practically took the words right out of my mouth.

Wasn't original at all - stealing way too much from a previous contestant - Adam Lambert II anyone? And Adam was my favorite last year - just don't appreciate copycats. And that last scream was just that - a scream and totally unnecessary (nails on a chalkboard?). The only contestant to give what I felt was a "honest" performance was Crystal once again. Not.Even.Close. Surprised at all the Siobhan love (actually I’m not). Wasn’t original at all – stealing way too much from a previous contestant – Adam Lambert II anyone?
