First, LOVE the sad little haircut pictures. I’m sorry she felt so sad, but she looks so very cute and chastened. Poor baby.

Second, you have solved the Irish chick conundrum for me. I didn’t feel sad for her to be in the bottom 3, however. I knew she wasn’t going to go off. I was sad for the nurse with the skunk hairdo. I also found out said nurse was my dad’s favorite. ? He’s a basic dad who has never listened to Metal or Southern Rock. Who knew?

Drat! I missed AI this week so I don’t know what happened, but I’m sure my boy, Michael Johns, was in top form.

Delaney looks like a sweet, little elfin child.

I somehow don’t believe David A and all his humility. He won Star Search, he knows how good he is. I feel Jason’s humbleness and shyness is more real.

Okay, I’m thinking you are so lucky she played Clipper Cuts and didn’t find your bottle of dark brown hair dye and play Color and Perm. Maaaayyybe she wanted to be like mom and do something drastic? Ha! Tell her she has to save it for 13 year old emo phase.

You’re absolutely right; the way David A. blinks away the praise and looks like he can hardly swallow is incredibly charming. Maybe she was put in her place last night, and she will humble herself a bit for next week.

Your daughter’s eyes are incredible.

I actually think Delaney’s do-it-yourself do is kind of cute — like a modern shag! Maybe she’s just ahead of her time when it comes to toddler hair-style.

She’s adorable.

You shouldn’t feel bad about her being in the bottom three, you should feel PSYCHIC. But I still can’t believe it happened. She is so good. I hear she’s smug and thinks she has the competition in the bag, though, so perhaps now she’ll be a bit nicer.

Ok, I’m with you on Irish girl, but I do like it when she wears a frilly top with roses at the collar and has a giant tattoo down her arm. I like the contrast. Your daughter is the cutest thing and her eyes are so beautiful even with the , well, you know, toddler scissor hair.

You’re kiddo *is* ridiculously cute, even with (and maybe even especially because of ) the “crazy sparse bang action on the right”! Big ups to cousin scissor-hands!
I am *praying* that I won’t have to watch the rest of this season’s American Idol in order to continue enjoying your posts. Noooooo! I’ve resisted so far this year, but only because my a** melted into the leather couch last year as a result of AI watching. I cannot spare another spatula to that cause.

Her hair is too cute. I’m glad it was fixable!
