Okay, so maybe that last question was just for me.
And maybe that Jesse Langseth play-count is exaggerated.
(Its not, actually.)

Lets count em down, shall we?
NEXT: Gokey hooks Slezak
1.
I am capable of enjoying a musical performance by Danny Gokey.There, I said it!
Well, that just felt weird!
In all seriousness, though, this is good news for me.
(Thanks for that one, Paula!)
Perhaps Jamie Foxx invading Dannys personal space (and fresh-breath area) was exactly what the contestant needed.
(Did I hear Randy shout check yourself to silence the Gokester?)
(Bonus points for the slight change in hairstyle that kept Allisons hair from her eyes.)
But enough about fashion!
Okay, that metaphor got away from me.
But Im not thinking straight.
I think all of us have this chance right now.
NEXT: Randy makes a good point!
But this is not what he said.
Should we comment on how his not-always-pleasant cover of My Funny Valentine was far from A level?
Or that he lost a grade point or two since college?
Or in other words, as Randy actually managed to articulate (!
And (WHA?!)
youcertainlywont be privy to an encore on theIdolend-of-episode replays, which was clearly reflecting Adams not-as-breathtaking dress-rehearsal rendition.
NEXT: The grades
But I digress.
It didnt help that Kris performance featured the jankiest production values of the season.
There was a cut to the brass section when they werent even playing.
Is he sneaking peeks at the weekly vote tallies?
And is Simon judging primarily on music performance, or by the contestants pre- and post-interview clips?
And speaking of colorful interview clips…
6.
But what a charming and helpful mentor he turned out to be!
The mentor could be anyone.
The mentor could be Buble, or Bennett, or Rod Stewart.
The mentor will not be a dead person.
And on that note, lets do the grades thing!
Who should and will go home?
And what did you think of Kara, Simon, Paula, and Randy this week?
