I am way sadder to say good-bye to the awesome robot montages than to KLK. Come to think of it, those vignettes could probably sell a Ford Focus or two. . .
I am sooo sad that Kristy Lee is leaving. I loved her during her audition then hated her in the semifinals then slowly began to love her again during the finals. Love her to death now, not because of her voice of course but because of her attitude. I’m really gonna miss her. And the robot too!
I agree with Deneen… I’ll miss the robotic montages. Of course I’m more into seeing Little David go. I’m sick of him and his “cute-ness” and I think that the reference to the Gremlin movies was fitting… the CUTE part, before they go nuts. He’s a one trick pony, and he needs to go… now. (Or Brooke.) I’ve been a Brooke Fan for a while now, but she’s getting to maternal or “nanny-ish” with her constant blabbering… someone needs to tell her to tone it down or shush up. Just accept the critiques and opinions, and let it go without commentary. Syesha and that baby cry are next to go in my book. She just needs to quit picking Whitney songs. Get a grip. You are not her! Jason, he’s cool… does Dylan proud, but needs to stop acting like he’s stoned… if he wants the votes of those who are over high school age, and not raised in Hippyville, USA. Carly, she’s good, but isn’t going to make it all the way. She’s too invested in winning, and shows desperation too easily.
What is this movie that has been sampled in “Idolatry?” I hope KLC stops by the cubicles and we get her reaction to the montages. Y’all need to win somekind of e-media award for this.
i’m worried about carly too. i’m really rooting for her. hope she chooses the right ALW song (although, i will admit, as a theater gay, even i can’t stand ALW). still, i think carly has more talent than syesha, brooke, and jason castro put together. a david cook and carly finale would be my dream as well. though we’d be fooling ourselves if we didn’t think david a was going to take it all. ugh! here we go again. another BORING AI winner, right up there with j sparks….
Thank God KLC is gone!!!!I am with the others though….I will miss the robot(way more that Kristy)! It’s obvious who is the most talented this season…David Cook…it’s obvious who will win….David A and that’s just plain sad…That’s ok though….David Cook will do much better with his career if he finishes 2nd….Carly deserves the number 3 spot….and America will you please vote off Syesha already! She shouldve been voted off instead of Michael Johns…I mean COME ON!Go David Cook…I love you man!
Best. Idolatry. EVER! I will definitely miss Mechagodzilla … both of them.
You know, after KLC’s Q&A with EW on Friday, I liked her way more. Now I’m sad she’s gone.
Good Idolatry. Thx. (Wow–you guys hate David A. Poor kid. He’s doin’ his best.)
Good Luck Kristy!! I enjoyed you. I am hoping Carly is next. Can’t stand watching her show off her tattoo. She screams and looks so desperate. Not a good Idol at all. Brooke and Daivd A…..hang in there. You are both very talented!!

So sad KFC (oops, KLC) is gone…girlfriend had some minor talent and she didn’t seem to take herself too seriously (are you listening Carly and Syeshia?). I’ll actually miss her a tiny little bit.
Mark my words. Jason Castro will go home this week.
I’m gonna miss Kristy. She was a good performer and didn’t take herelf too seriouly unlike “tattoo mama” and Sayesha. PLZ AMERICA, what are ya thinkin? These two shoulda BEEN gone already—long b4 Michael Johns and KLC. And the 2 Davids get ALL the publicity. Idol, let’s share the promos with Brooke and Jason
Awww. I will miss Kristy Lee too. And the awesome Idolatries on her. I always hoped that the MechaGodzilla eventually would maul that Ewok David A. Oh, and for those who call her talentless, try to google up “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (German Idol) clips – if you dare. Compared to the so-called ‘talent’ there, beloved Kristy is Whitney Houston and Madonna combined, with The Rolling Stones at the instruments and the Harlem Gospel Choir as background singers.
You know, during the robot tribute, I was really enjoying her singing of “Forever”. She has more talent that some of the past contestants who had “overstayed their welcome” (Haley, Scott Savo, Jasmine). She was also one of the better dressers (although I thought everyone looked better last week). Thanks for the memories, KLC, and thanks Idolatry for the wonderful entertainment.
