Yeah, I am bummed about Chikezie. Who is voting for Ramiele?

But what bothered me most, would it have been too much to let poor Kristy go first this week? I mean, the girl actually had a good performance, and has been in the bottom 2 since what- 20 contestant week? Let her have *one* week to enjoy life on the couch!

Oh, and did anyone else catch Jason say that a result with him in the bottom three would be a "shocker?"

I wish Ryan would have let him continue his uncomfortable monologue... would have loved to hear what else he had to say!

I agree. I was so hoping Ramiele was on her way out. Kristy lucked up with "Proud to be an American" - it was one of her best performances by far, but I think she got votes just because of her song choice. In general, she has been pretty terrible throughout - even she is surprised that she's still there.

He's an arrogant ass. I hate when Simon says he finds Jason "charming" because he's just not.
I was so glad to see him in the bottom three even though he didn't get the boot. I really hope he goes soon.

Kind of a bummer about Chikezie...at least he was semi-entertaining unlike most of the other snooze-fest contestants.

We should start to see some interesting kick-offs. Vote for the Worst is backing KLC. I am actually starting to like VFTW, b/c they will prevent the good ones from getting lost in the total crap that is 19E's contract. We'll see the good ones get kicked off and have a winner like cupcake. I'm all for it.

That being said, I am a Carly fan, peeps. Girl has pipes. And, when I am listening to my ipod, I don't care if they "connect" with me as a stage performer. Granted that is part of AIdol. But, in the real world, I'll be listening to her, Cook, and Johns. I most always listen to the show and only glance up once or twice during the performances. I can hear the actual singing better than being distracted by them.


People wonder why the latest idols haven't done well? They connect on stage, but they aren't really download-worthy!

Someone please explain Jason Castro....... he is a terrible singer... charming.. but terrible singer..

I think it's the eyes. They're hypnotizing everyone who watches the show to vote for him.

I'm with you. I listened to Carly's "Blackbird" from a couple weeks ago on just audio, and it was beautiful, no doubt about it. I won't go see the AI tour and can't stand the creepy looks some of them give the camera when they're trying to "connect," so it doesn't bug me a bit. I'd much rather have someone win that can sing well.

I'm sure anyone watching tonight knows this, but David did just acknowledge that all the arrangements he has done prior to tonight were someone else's. Tonight was his own, though, and I think it worked really well. But, I'm biased at this point. :)

it was another horrible coma inducing performance from Jason Castro

Dolly Parton week...who thought this was a good idea? Seriously!

I missed the show, but finally found the performances online (but they didn't have the judges' comments -- boo).

I LOVE David Cook's new haircut, THANK GOD they found something to do with that hair of his! It drove me crazy and was the only thing I didn't like about him. Now he's all good. And I LOVED his performance tonight.

I don't know what order they went in on the show, so in no particular order, I also loved Michael Johns, David A., I thought Syesha was good, I thought Brooke was so-so, I thought Carly was so-so, I thought Jason was awful, I'm struggling to even remember Kristy (and this should have been her shining week!), and who am I forgetting... agh.... oh! Ramiele. Well, the fact that I couldn't remember her pretty much says everything.

I'm guessing the bottom 3 will be Ramiele, Kristy and Jason. Though I won't be sad if Brooke or Carly end up in there (although I don't think they will). None of the others deserve bottom 3, IMO.

Praying for a Jason kick-off, praying for a Jason kick-off, praying for a Jason kick-off!!

If my daughter's friends are any indication, they are all into Jason so he may be getting the teenybopper "he's a hottie" vote and may not go for a while!

Sadly I only know about 3 Dolly songs..so I had to really judge the kids on their performances...

Michael Johns was the best..who knew he had that bluesy tone
Carly- this girl can really sing
Syesha- I think the judges were a tad too harsh on her.. she combined two versions and I think it worked for her

I'm sorry but for me David A and David C.. do the same thing every week.. I'm over them

Brooke, Ramiele and Jason are my bottom 3 picks.. hopefully Jason will FINALLY go home

I'd like to see Kristy Lee Cook go but VFTW is doing their campaign to keep her in. My next pick to go is Jason Castro but the teen crowd loves him. I have a feeling that Ramiele is going this week. She's got a good voice but hasn't done all that well these past few weeks.
