Anyway, I'm guessing the Artist Formerly Known as Eze will have one more chance to sell me on his talents, because this week's dual eliminations seem almost as obvious as the third opened button on Luke Menard's shirt, or the peculiar blond streak in Jason Yeager's hair. Seriously, my left ear actually got up and ran around my head to my right ear midway through Queen's ''Killer Queen'' just to confirm it was hearing what it thought it was hearing. The conversation went a little like this:
Left Ear: Is this as shrill and nasal as I think it is?
Right Ear: Oh, my God, times ten! And also, he puts his mouth too close to the mike!
Left Ear: But wasn't this dude just blathering in his interview package about always having to be flawless because he's in an a cappella sextet?
Right Ear: Um, clearly those other five dudes just keep him around for eye candy. Now go back to your side of Slezak's head. I'm trying to hear Paula's crazy critique!
Neither my ears nor my brain, however, really want to get into a lengthy discussion of Jason Y's ''Long Train Running,'' not after the drubbing the innocuous nice guy took from Simon, Paula, and Randy. Sure I could complain about that bizarre ''head down, arms out'' pose he struck at the end of his number, or the way he tended to inexplicably grin through the whole performance, or — oh wait, there's the Oscar music cueing me off the stage! After a critique that contained little to no constructive criticism, Simon's suggestion for cutting short the often painful post-performance interviews was one of the night's best.
What did you think of tonight's show? Does Little David seem like a shoo-in, and if so, does that excite or perturb you? Who are your picks to round out the top six? And which two men are going home Thursday?
