Is anyone watching American Idol???

[CajunMama]

Hehe j...my husband only likes the "kick 'em off" nights. He thinks the other nights are boring!

[southerngale]

I don't think Blake is going anywhere anytime soon. He is actually very popular among the hardcore AI fans, and I think pretty popular with the public as well. Unfortunately, Sanjaya has been too. I don't remember the actual number of votes for each of them last week, but they were both pretty high. Hopefully, this week, people will vote for who they think is the best singer and not who has the best hair with the soft spoken voice - I'd really hate to see one of these guys left that are really good go home so tweens can ooh and ahh over Sanjayah's hair another week. lol He has no chance of winning this.

The same goes for Antonella... if she makes the top 12 because people like her slutty pics (can't imagine what else it could be?), a really good singer will be going home. There are more girls deserving to make the top 12 than can make it, and if she makes it, that just takes away from the actual "singing" competition.

I don't know who is going home tomorrow night, but I think Sanjayah should, and maybe Brandon? I don't know. The judges thought he was better last night over the week before though. I didn't like it very much, but I do think he's a great singer. I just haven't liked his song choices the past 2 weeks. Whoever leaves, it's gonna be tough. Except for a couple of people, the rest are really good.

I thought Chris Sligh was great last night.



[marq=down]Don't forget to vote for MOTM[/marq]

HHHMMM????? Slam J or not Slam J? Slam J or not Slam J? HHHHMMMMM?????

I do believe there is some genuine talent on the show and I do watch it. However, J has got some good points(not so sure about Simon-Paula is always "out there"). But there is no way that some of those people think they have a chance in the earlier parts of the competition. It is called "my 15 seconds of fame" and that is it!!!

I don't think the competitors at this point are anything but genuine. Unfortunately though, some of them shouldn't be there(Sinjaya) and probably will be for a while because he is "pretty"(it has happened before and imo one that won it all shouldn't have only because they developed a voting base). The straight hair with the highlights was just a little much for me!!!!

IMO, at this level there should be weighted voting which includes both the public and the judges. One has to admit some really good talent has come out of this process.

[Pburgh]

My favorite is Chris Sligh. He's consistently good. (j, don't you say a word or I'll flog you!!!!!) I like Blake too.

I think Sundance and Sanjaya should go home but who knows????

Jared always sounds ok but he's just a little too "cocky" for my taste.

[MusicCityMan]

I will say this repeatedly till Antonella is voted off. SHE NEEDS TO GO! Everyone of the girls is in a completely different league than she is.. her song 2night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.. but she is not meant to be a top 12 finalist..

I loved Jordin's preformance.. and I did believe Sabrina could have been a little better..

[Brent]

The girls are MUCH better than the guys. It's not even close.

Antonella better go.

So... what was Paula doing under the table at the start of the show?

[MusicCityMan]

All right.. picks to go home time...

Guys: Blake and Sanjayah
Girls: Antonella and Haley..

I like Haley.. and I think she has a decent voice.. but like I just stated about Antonella, Haley isn't even in the same time warp as the other top 6.. Any 1 of those 6 could win..

[JonathanBelles]

Melinda was AWESOME!!!! If she keeps singing like that she will go all the way. Something I noticed tonight was that she was very relaxed and her shoulders were down.

[CajunMama]

Melinda blew the rest away tonight.

[MusicCityMan]

Brent..

I have made a bold prediction to all my friends and coworkers around here.. Here it is 4 u guys..

All girl top 3.. and wouldn't be surprised to see 6 of the 1st 7 eliminated from the top 12 be guys.. which would make it an all girl top 5...

If u think I'm nuts.. feel free to tell me so..

PS. I love Gina! lol..

[tropicana]

Yeah Melinda was excellent...but i think Lakisha was def. the top 2 of this night.

[CajunMama]

I'd like to see Lakisha, Melinda and Gina in the top 3. I enjoyed gina tonight. She rocked with her song. It was nice to hear something different and it fit her to a T plus she looked like she was having fun with it.

[MusicCityMan]

Melinda was #1, Lakisha 2, and I think Gina 3.. of course u guys may think different

[Brent]

Melinda was AWESOME!!!! If she keeps singing like that she will go all the way. Something I noticed tonight was that she was very relaxed and her shoulders were down.

I agree. She was really great.

[MusicCityMan]

I honestly think Melinda has taken over the #1 seed and replaced Lakisha as the favorite to win.. I think Gina is 3rd.. and then Stephanie, Sabrina and Jordin are 4,5, and 6 in any order.. but trying to rank these 6 is unfair..

[HollynLA]

My prediction for tomorrow night:
Sanjaya and Brandon go home
Antonella and Haley go home

I really like Chris, Phill, and Blake fo the guys and Melinda, Lakisha, and Steph for the girls. Haley's voice gets on my nerves though, she reminds me of a broadway show tunes type singer. Gina's voice is good but I don't think it's good enough to make it to the end.

[Pburgh]

My favorite is Chris Sligh. He's consistently good. (j, don't you say a word or I'll flog you!!!!!) I like Blake too.

I think Sundance and Sanjaya should go home but who knows????

Jared always sounds ok but he's just a little too "cocky" for my taste.

I'm starting to like Melinda the best, Lakisha second and Gina is really sounding terrific.


To go home
Guys
Sanjaya and Sundance
Girls
Antonella and Haley

[MusicCityMan]

The guys are good in spurts.. I honestly think most of them don't even belong in this same competition as the girls this year.. I think it's 1 sided...

At the same time.. The sad thing is, that if Antonella or Haley stays in the top 12.. thAT means that 1 of those great top 6 girls will be left out..

[southerngale]

At the same time.. The sad thing is, that if Antonella or Haley stays in the top 12.. thAT means that 1 of those great top 6 girls will be left out..

And I totally disagree. (about Haley anyway) - If she goes, someone not as good as her gets to stay.
I will be very sad if Haley goes because I think she's better than several others. I thought she was great! While she was singing, I thought to myself that they couldn't gripe about this one! Well, I shouldn't underestimate Simon - he doesn't like Haley and he will never like anything she does.
If one of his favorites that he's chosen to make the top 12 sang the exact same song and sounded exactly the same, he would have praised them. There's no doubt in my mind. I think there are other great singers up there, but some of them mess up, aren't always in tune, get pitchy (Randy's fav comment), etc. They really had no complaints with Haley, but it was predetermined not to praise her, IMO. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it comes across to me. She can do no right.

I hope that most of America doesn't mimic Simon and sees the variety she brings to the show and how great she is. I like a few other girls too, but Haley definitely deserves to make the top 12 over several others. She sang a "ballad" and sang it well... Simon said it was too old for her and to do something younger, so she sang a fun, upbeat song flawlessly...he still complained. So she brings a little country and sounds great, and he still doesn't like it. She's one of the few who's sang 3 different styles and sang them all well.

I like Melinda too... it's been fun to watch her go from shy little backup singer to someone with a lot more confidence. LaKisha sounds good... not my style though... and I think she's kinda overrated. She sounds like a lot of previous Idols, but will likely make something of herself no matter if/when she gets voted off. I don't like Gina. I have tried and tried to like her, but she just gets on my nerves, I don't like her voice... I wouldn't mind seeing her go, but I don't think she will just yet.

I don't care for Stephanie either. I don't think she's a bad singer by any means, but I just don't care for it. I do like Sabrina a lot. I think she brings a little variety as well, much like Haley. I think Jordan is good too, and her and Haley seem like the sweetest of the bunch.

Antonella does not sound good at all.

I see that some of you don't like Sundance either... I will be sad if he goes as well. I love the bluesy thing he has going on. I also love Phil's voice and have really enjoyed his performances. I like Chris Sligh and Blake as well.

Here's who I think should go:

Girls: Antonella, Stephanie
Guys: Sanjayah, Brandon

[Pburgh]

LOL "I love the bluesy thing he has going on"

You're sounding more and more like Randy!!!!!!
