go team go

It's good that we got floor-length hair, though, because the rest of tonight's show left a lot to be desired. Oh, but I did just remember that some of my viewing partners want to have a massive lovefest with Chris Sligh (aka: Jack Osbourne), so that's cool.
I think things culminated in the inevitable "Sweet Home Alabama" montage, or maybe Paula's unprompted absence, which was supposedly due to a "family obligation." Insert your own joke here. Please.
We also saw "Team Nichole," who rooted for a denim-clad contestant who was later denied by the judges. At least she took the criticism graciously, which is more than I can say for Brandy, who first blaimed her "Like a Virgin" failure on the floor. When she got the boot, she proceeded to sing again, and engage in an extended banter with both judges. They even followed her out of the room to no avail.
Sure, it was entertaining, but nothing like the stuff we saw in nights past. Give me some trippy opera.
