OK
I am getting more and more convinced that the so called "judges" are told ahead of time to be nasty and rude. The two dude judges make me nausious when they lean back in their chairs, rest their chins on their fingers, and smirk at the contestants. They look like 2 creepy guys that sit at the foot of the main stage at a topless bar.

Jewel was telling the contestants to move more and put on more of a show on stage. Have you ever seen Jewel on stage? Me thinks she needs to take some of her own advice.
When John Rich told Coffey, "Wearing a cowboy hat doesn't make a person country", I couldn't stop laughing. That statement coming from a guy WHO WEARS A COWBOY HAT and was in a pop band (Lone Star) and now raps with Kenny Big...HOW IRONIC.
Gabe was the winner last night, IMO. The two high school girls were singing worst than me...and that's illegal in most countries.
