candyland...oh my sweet Prince Poppycock, what have you done? ;___;
Dad still thinks we should have given him all ten votes. Mom wanted to give all ten to Michael Grimm. So we wound up splitting the difference and doing five each.
Also, the YouTube comments are delightful, ranging from "I hope Piers dies slowly of throat cancer!" to "Piers' buzzing him was actually a premeditated 'dick move' because AGT doesn't want to be represented by someone so flamboyant and ambiguous. They want to be represented by unemployed chicken catchers and pretty little girls in flowered dresses."
I love YouTube. I really do.
Just please, don't let Jackie Evancho win. Her technique is terribly, she's going to destroy her voice if she doesn't get those low notes out of her throat and stop forcing her vibrato, she has yet to do anything except opera (no performance range whatsoever!), and thus far she has yet to do anything that Barbara Padilla didn't do better last season. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHILD, PUT YOUR ARMS DOWN FOR ONCE.
Also, I am now officially back on Lexapro (HAPPY DRUGS HAPPY DRUGS LA LA LAAAAAA~), and I have the weekend of October 9-10 off to attend my aunt and uncle's fiftieth wedding anniversary party.
And considering how often I've gotten shafted on scheduling and how little I've complained and how little I generally ask for? I feel like I should NOT have had to feel like I was fighting that hard when I did need something. But fortunately, a couple of my coworkers are awesome ^o^
And finally, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is AMAZING and Yuri Lowenthal as Legal!Luke is divine and I literally had to close my DS and squeal when one of his puzzle-solvey animations included the dialogue, "Puzzling? I think not~" And it's also really awesome to see the two discussion threads on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
professorlayton so alive and buzzing over it.
PLAY ON!

Date: 2010-09-16 12:14 am (UTC)Piers, however, was just plain rude to buzz in the middle of his performance. It was a dick move, especially from someone who once said Prince Poppycock was his "becoming his little guilty pleasure" not two performances ago. Sharon was right to get onto his case about it and to point out that it was Prince Poppycock's show, America would be the decider. Not the judges any longer. They can give their opinions, but for crissake at least wait until his performance is over, even if you didn't particularly care for it! What an insult!
As for Michael Grimm, I adore his voice, I do. But I'm biased against covers and I don't think he'd last very long on a Las Vegas stage, to be honest. There's not really anything truly original or memorable about him except his voice is lovely. So I am reserved.
As for Jackie--your input on the matter is exactly what I was thinking! The whole being young and her voice changing and the sound of it possibly being ruined by how she's singing now. Not only that but the whole little girl aspect of things also makes me go, "This girl is not a Las Vegas show, what are you people doing." I really hope she doesn't win. She has so many other chances elsewhere.
And finally Fighting Gravity was actually a fun an entertaining performance! But Piers did have a point when he said they kind of ruined the magic of it at the end of that last performance with the light flashing behind them. It ruined this show for them, but it's something they have to really be careful of in the future and it's so easy to mess up in blacklight shows. So I'm a bit ambivalent about them, but it's really between them or Poppycock, I would think.
tl;dr Jeva has opinions.
