So which guys do everyone think will get cut this week?

I've never really watched the show until this year (bits and pieces here and there in previous years), so I'm not really sure about how people vote when the performances aren't that great, but not bad, but they love the person/personality, so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I'm guessing 2 from these 3 guys will get cut: Rudy Cardenas, Nick Pedro, Paul Kim

I don't have "one" favorite yet - I really like several of them.

Not one of the guys performed decently for this level of American Idol. Yes, Ihave watched it every year! Maybe it was nerves, but not one of them was good enough to be AI.

Hopefully it was nerves and they'll get better. There were some earlier performances by some of them that I thought was better than tonight, so hopefully they'll have another chance next week, with a different song. I hope my favs so far don't get cut!

My favorites so far... and I might stick with them are Chris Sligh and Blake (i dont know what his last name is) ..... I think the Blake kid was great, he looked kind of like a young Sting from back in the Police days and kind of sounded like him too!! I really like him and Chris... So far those are my favs... There were quite a few I really didnt like at all... Such as Paul Kim, Sundance Head and Sanjay Malakar... another that I really was surprised at was Phil Stacey... His chorus was awsome!! Started rocky but ended great...

I like Sundance Head and Chris Sligh, but I wasn't very crazy about Paul Kim. The judges seemed to like him though. I want Sanjaya to do well...he's so sweet. I think a lot of kids like him.

Btw, it's Blake Lewis, and I like him too. :)

I like Phil Stacey too, Karan. See what I mean when I said that I didn't have a favorite yet because I like several of them? lol

I do regret that I missed the first 5 seasons of this show - I love it!
But, dang... it takes up a lot of time. I work hard to find that ONE hour a week each for the 3 other shows I watch (24, House, LOST) ...some weeks American Idol more than doubles that time! :eek:

My favs last night was Blake and Phil. Blake really surprised me with his vocals because I had mostly seen the beat box done by him, but he really was great last night. Phil sounded great as well and can really belt some notes with little effort. However, with that said, I remember so well Sundance's audition, and I think if he sticks with that type of vocal (blues style), he'll blow our minds. His audition had so much heart, soul, and feeling to it, so I agreed with the judges last night, that he didn't show that in his performance last night. I think he's going to come out and shock us all if he makes it through.

Holly, I was really surprised at Blake. His voice really had a soothing quality. I liked him too.

It really is time consuming!!! Add Grey Anatomy, Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives and Survivor - Oh Boy, I need to get a life!!!!! lol

No comment about the ladies yet? I thought they were much better than the guys. I can't believe the compliments Simon kept giving LaKisha.

My favorites were LaKisha, Stephanie, Melinda and Gina. But LaKisha was my absolute favorite.

Definitely better than the guys, overall. I liked Stephanie, Sabrina, Jordan, Haley, Melinda, Gina, and LaKisha. A few others were pretty good too, but up against people like LaKisha and Melinda... good luck!

Which one sang "All by Myself" She was awesome. Simon needs to be slapped at his comments to her. What a strong powerful voice she has. I know I got up from the computer to see who it was singing like that!

For the guys I think Sanjaya and Paul Kim will be gone.

So I'm guessing the girl who got called back (Ashlyn Carr) isn't still in it?
