Oh no, Lendel is singing the song that Cameron was suppose to sing.

I can't stand that Destiny song. If it plays on the radio I turn it off.

I'm hoping Graeme is going to do better this week, and I'm looking forward to Jasons performance.

28 Mar 2009 08:21

U know, she might JUST pull it folks, Thembi that is; even though I also pictured her belting a MaBrrr song. I am heartbroken literally that Lendel is doing Weeping, no no no! That should have been signed, sealed and delivered by Cameron! Geeze, who chooses these songs for these kids?? Pixie, was she born when the brothers had a one hit wonder with that tune? Anyone catching A/Idol on wed and thursdays??

WhiteSockGirl
29 Mar 2009 19:18

Lendel should have said that he is a gangster,.. would have made him look interesting,... He is oh so so gaaadddd awful boring and full of himself....

And Pixie was way hotter than Shasha-Lee,.. singing competition, not a pageant... men on TVSA,.. they will never change

tizoz
