I keep hoping that when she makes it, it will be her wake-up call and maybe last week was, because she apparently performed flawlessly (per ALW and some who were there) at the dress rehearsal, but then when she had the flub, it re-sucked the joy out of her. So, hoping next week she gets it back. I know it sounds crazy, but Neil Diamond (who I love, damnit!) has a lot of songs that are GREAT for her voice, so I'm hopeful.

I actually haven't watched the whole show yet (just Brooke, but I saved it to go back and watch if Brooke survived!), but even if Carly did good, I just don't like watching or listening to her perform, while Jason I like a lot (he's so beautiful, I hate the dreads, but he's soooooooo classically beautiful), but I don't think that I'll disagree with you on him. It IS a beautiful song.

Ditto on your TC comments.
