Update: Annie’s recap is live
Image Credit: Michael Becker/Fox; Stan Honda/Getty ImagesSeason 10′s Hollywood Week continues tonight with a final installment from hell called “Part 3.” I got chills! They’re fortifying. It’s hard to stay awake sometimes, you know. Ask any of the contestants.
I might spice this experience up and take a shot every time someone says “I want this so much,” “This is my dream,” or “Wheeeeeeeeeeeeoooo!” Want to play?
Chat about American Idol‘s one-hour (whew!) episode here during and after the show, then come back later for my full recap. The hard drinking should make it more insightful than ever! (Update: here it is; I’m sadly sober.)

Every time Glasses Clint comes on the screen, I find myself praying that he’ll reprise a number from The Room soundtrack. A rose, is what, you are, to meeee.
He was painful tonight.
You are my rose, you are my rose, you are my ro-ohssseee!
Everything about the Jacqueline Dunford Leaving Segment was awesome. (Specifically: Casey Abrams lurking in the background backstage, and Jacqueline’s demon face when they invert the colors for a split second. Not so much the part where she was sick.)
So you can forget your lyrics, and you’ll do just fine. Looks like season 10 is in line with the other seasons. All style, no substance.
I hope not. Though it looks to be the case so far. Scotty and Jacee making it obviously had to do with their past performances, not the one they messed up on. I just don’t think Jacee is ready. He is sooo cute but his voice just isn’t ready.
agree judge. Scotty and Jacee must be more about giving a block of voters a reason to keep watching but they can’t win this yr.
Wow there are actually a lot of great, unique singers this season! and what ever happened to White House intern?
Pretty sure I saw White House intern in room 4 (the ones that made it through)
This really IS the best talent they’ve ever had. I think they’ve made good choices (not really upset about anyone leaving) so far. I personally found Rob’s voice much more compelling than his ex gf but he did tank from fatigue and stress, and I agree with the decision to let her go. Not upset about Jacqueline though I’m curious if they could have judged her on what she’d already done…maybe they knew she wouldn’t be top 20. I didn’t see Molly leave or in any of the rooms, I’m wondering about how she fared.
Annie, Molly still seems to be missing….
I think Lauren is awesome..what a talent and only 15..great talent this year.Cant wait for more
But would you really think that way if they weren’t always telling you to think that way? They have been hitting us over the head that she is the best thing since Kelly Clarkson (blasphemy!) and sorry, all I see is a teenage girl trying way to hard to flirt with a 60 year old judge and Nigel pimping her to a rather disturbing degree.
She is inappropriate with the flirting, but she is absolutely as good (if not better) than they are saying she is, IMO.
Thia is another awesome 15 year old. Very mature voices.
I love that girl. She is the Lauren Froderman (of SYTYCD) of Idol. She has it all. Talent, looks and oodles of personality. I hope she can continue to impress. She’s my favorite so far.
I’m wondering where is the White House intern and where black lady who was a country singer? I haven’t seen her since her audition. Those are two I’d like to see keep going.
the black country singer got voted off yesterday. her name is adrienne
I think molly the white house intern was in the last room that made it. The. Lack country girl was cut Wed night. I hope Hollie cavanaugh made it I didn’t see her
I think the country singer got the boot last night.
Yuck – that Heather Matarazzo-looking girl made it through. She is so annoying.
So glad that James Durbin made it through! The second coming of Adam Lambert!
that’s a joke, right?
no. I love Adam. No.
Yes, but when Adam screams, he’s on key. the same cannot be said for James…who simply screams.
Did we hear James tonight? Did they hide his performance?
I love him. I hope he continues to impress. It’s so ridiculous that the Glamberts are out to get him. Can they just not appreciate him for his own talent?
Casey really impressed me tonight. He’s like a male Adele.
Thought i saw White House girl in room 3 but was relieved to see her in room 4!!
Can’t stand that June Bug kid with his hateful looks and snaggle teeth. ugh. I hope he goes next week.
The one that was mean to sweet little Jaycee? He gets uglier with every episode.
Plus his singing is all over the map. No pleasant to listen to.
Hahaha I totally agree. I guess since he showed his ugly side of his inner beauty I now think he is just plain ugly. I am so glad Ryan mentioned what a bully he was to Jacee again today.
Yeah, apparently after ten seasons, some of these people haven’t realized that in order to move forward, people have to actually LIKE you in order to vote for you. Clint can sing, but he is not someone I’d vote for because I don’t like his attitude. Ditto with Jordan.
Thought I saw Luke (can’t remember his last name) from last seasons auditions in room one. He had on a green cap.
