First cut

Ha ha ha... Looks like Chris Sligh is realizing that his comment toward Simon was not a good idea. They actually dedicated a few minutes to his little speech of remorse. He says that he's nervous because he thinks America may have taken the banter as disrespect. He's right. Even though I thought it was funny, I also thought it was inappropriate given that it was his first live performance and he should have been more humble - should have just taken the criticism. The joke came off as mean and defensive. But his speech seems sincere, so let's see if America gives him another shot.

Now to the first cut...

Brandon Rogers.... is safe.
Sundance Head.... is safe. (I'm stunned)
Chris Richardson.... is safe.
Nick Pedro.... is safe. (YES!!!!!)
Blake Lewis.... is safe.

Paul Kim is the first to go home. I can't believe it. America has gotten it totally wrong. All I can say is that Votefortheworst.com must really have an influence because they had chosen Sundance as the worst this week and he's around another week. Unbelievable.

And why do they make the cut contestants sing again right after being booted? So mean.
