changing things up?


Lots to say this morning...first, regarding follow-up impressions of last night's show, I'd like to hear what you guys thought about the execution of the whole fundraising component of things. I thought it was done pretty tastefully -- as tasteful as you can be in the context of Ryan Seacrest -- but I've read mixed reviews online. Do you think it was too over-the-top, too much of an attempt to appeal to ratings rather than real social causes?


Once again, I was pretty bored with the performances, not so much in terms of caliber, but more so in their failure to offer anything out of the ordinary. The "inspirational" theme made judges slightly sedate in their comments. Chris Richardson, for one, got WAY more praise than he deserved, and I think even Jordin's performance had its low points.


Also...glad you guys noticed Bono's absence. Rumor is he'll make an appearance tonight.


Common sense says LaKisha will go home. Remember, though, that the fundraising component of last night's episode -- all votes generated money for charities -- had potential to attract voters who under normal circumstances wouldn't care enough to dial. Which means we could be in for a surprise.


Stay tuned.
