gigante times three

8:13 Possibly the first instrument we've seen this season. A wind pipe, but still...

8:14 Bad, angry singer montage.

8:14 We meet Ghaleb, a Latin lover who plays "gypsy music." I'm ready to be seduced. He pulls out some Marc Anthony, best described by Simon's critique: "I would like you if I was drunk." Paula criticizes his accent, but likes his voice.

My take on the song? Not that good, and easily forgettable. Not caliente, if you will.

Randy says yes, Simon says no, Paula says yes -- and feels compelled to do it by giving Ghaleb a hug. Someone's living out a J. Lo fantasy.

After Ghaleb celebrates his victory with lots of kisses -- besos, if you prefer -- Paula seems nuttier than ever.

Simon, very accurately, picks up Paula's Coke glass and says, "We need someone to check in this cup."

8:18 Big girl time. No joke. We meet Corliss and Brittany, two girls who are large and in charge. Apparently, they also somehow get to audition together. Guess they missed the cutoff for "Biggest Loser: Couples Edition." Seriously, though, I think I read somewhere that one of these girls actually won Monique's beauty pageant show. Google that later.

Corliss sings first, doing a special performance just for Randy, and it's pretty good. Brittany's up next, and I like her just as much as Corliss. They both have this old-school, jazzy Motown vibe to their voices.

Simon says yes to both of them, Paula does the same and so does Randy.

Watch out, In-N-Out Burger, they're coming to Hollywood!

There aren't enough angry singers these days. I miss Alanis. And Linkin Park was another rageful and depressing one.
