Danny could be a contender, if he stopped being a stereotypical queen.

Yes, we get it Danny, you're gay. But lose the affect. It makes you look like a poser.
 
I like Gaahl. He's so cute. I wish he eats both of you alive. It's thanks to lowlives of your ilk that television is infested with atrocities.

Didn't hear much to interest me in the girls' performances last night. Too bad. We'll see who goes home tonight.
 
A clock tower is a tower built with one or more (often four) clock faces.The clock tower is usually part of a church or municipal building such as a town hall, but many clock towers are free-standing.

The mechanism inside the tower is known as a turret clock. It often marks the hour (and sometimes segments of an hour) by sounding large bells or chimes, sometimes playing simple musical phrases or tunes.

Some clock towers are famous landmarks. Four of the best-known are the clock tower which houses Big Ben (often itself colloquially referred to as Big Ben) of the Palace of Westminster in London, the Rajabai Tower in Mumbai, the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin and the Peace Tower in Ottawa.

On New Year's Eve 2004 four 6.3-metre clock faces were added to the top of the Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science building in Warsaw, Poland making it the highest 4-faced clock tower in the world and the second highest clock tower in the world.[1]. The NTT DoCoMo Yoyogi Building 240 meters (787 feet) is 10 meters higher and is the highest clock tower in the world. The Allen-Bradley Clock Tower holds the record for the largest non-chiming four faced clock.

Although clock towers are today mostly admired for their aesthetics, they once served an important purpose. Before the middle of the twentieth century, most people did not have watches. Clock towers were therefore placed near the centers of towns and were often the tallest structures there.

The use of clock towers dates back to the Middle Ages. The earliest clock tower was constructed by Su Song in Kaifeng, China, and completed in 1088. The first striking clock tower was constructed shortly after in 1154 near the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, by the Arab engineer al-Kaysarani.[2] The earliest clock tower in Europe was the Salisbury cathedral clock in England, completed in 1306.

JB Joyce & Co claims to be the world's oldest tower clock maker (still in operation).[3] The company began life in 1690 and still manufactures clocks not far from its original premises in Whitchurch, Shropshire. Today it is a part of the Smith of Derby Group, started in 1856, which claims to be the largest tower clock manufacturer in the world today. The company has manufactured such notable tower clocks as that of St Paul's Cathedral and the Shanghai Customs building in China.
 
I love David Archuleta, he's probably the best of all of them. I like the nurse chick too, think her name is Amanda (can't remember) but last night she sucked and she looked like she was dressed up for Halloween.
 
I'm not too impressed with the girls this season at all. The goth nurse (Amanda) stands out because she's different than the influx of blondes that seem to be the norm this year. Aside from being different however, her voice does not have much range.

I predict David Archuleta for the win. He gets into the guts of a song, much like Melinda did last year. They both sell the lyrics. The rest of the pack this year just sing words as if they had no meaning. IMO.
 
Part of that could just be nerves, once they get a few shows under their belts the ones left usually improve a lot.

I hope it is just nerves. I could hear something in some of the voices but they just couldn't seem to carry through. The biker/goth nurse will probably go home tonight. If she had a few good nights behind her, maybe folks would forget last night's horrendous performance, but it is too early on.

Right now, I think the ones going home tonight are:
Jason Yeager
Luke Menard
Amanda Overmyer
and almost any of the other girls except Brooke and Carly

We'll find out shortly.
 
So far - right about Jason Yeager, wrong about Amanda Overmyer. I sure hope Amanda doesn't turn out to be this year's version of Sanjaya.
 
Wrong about the other 2 also. Poor little Alaina - she has a lot of potential. Hope her future is bright.
 
Sorry to see Robbie go. He coulda been a contenda....

Amanda is going to make it into the top 12, on the strength of her individuality. Beyond that, I don't know.
 
Yeah - I thought Robbie would go further too. Maybe not win but somewhere near the top. David Hernandez is looking promising too.
 
Luke and Amanda both should have been the ones to go based on their last performance, but teenage girls are making these decisions, lol.

I really like Amanda, and don't want her voted off over one bad (horrible) performance, but in fairness the girl who was voted off instead of her had a much better voice and should be the one still in the competition.
