Yah, Kristin stunk. But how well would you do if you had to follow the randy/paula/simon spat? Poor girl :(

I agree tho, the talent this time around wasn't great. Although, I agree with all the three chosen contestants, for the first time! As much as I think Simon is an a$$, i completely agree with him about AJ (is that his name?) and Jim. What a waste of two spaces!

I can understand Simon's frustration. He's producing the show and probably has a pretty huge stake in whoever is chosen at the end of it. He only wants the best to make it through.

Those 2 guys were pathetic. AJ's voice sounded so whiney. That other blonde fella just got a huge sympathy vote... I mean the deaf parents thing I think won it for him. Wouldn't be surprised if he wins it all.

I think the public finally picked three deserving contestants.
Yeah Christina, Nikki, and Ejay!

Does anyone know what the format for the "wild card" show will be? Are they just going to show clips and stuff?

It's gonna be an hour long show next week, so I wonder if they are going to have all of the twenty-one who didn't make it perform again. It would only be fair, just in case some of them can do better than they did the last time...

I missed part of the show on Wendnesday. Who did EJ replace and why did they leave??? I'm totally lost on that one.

If Jim were ever to win this competition, I think I'd kill myself. I'd definately never turn on the radio or watch MTV again. I'll tell you that much.

There are rumous flying around that that whole fight between randy and simon was staged for dramatic effect. if you think about it, randy didn't look quite that pi$$sed did he???

Ejay replaced a guy who lied about his age. I don't remember his name but he was a black guy with a ponytail. He said he was 23 but he was really 29.

I think Randy was just trying to shut Simon up. He just seemed like he had had enough so jumped up and was like, bring it on! I don't think it was staged, but I also don't think Randy was really being serious. Just my opinion...

So did anyone watch this last night or does no one care anymore?

I'm kinda bummed that R.J. won. He seems mediocre and looks like he's ready for a boy band. Also, they already had A.J. and Ejay so now they added R.J... what's with that.

I wanted Kelli to win. She has an awesome voice and she showed a lot more personality last night. I think she deserved to make the top ten.

yah. i was really bummed 'bout the RJ vote too. i don't think he's got as good of a chance as kelli did at winning the whole thing. not that it matters cause i want justin to take it all. heh heh

marissa

I was actually glad RJ won last night! I thought his performance was right on and it was nice to see Simon eat his words.

I just really hope Jim and AJ get voted out of the competition next week.

O.K. combine E.J. and A.J. and R.J. and Justin and Jim...and you got O-Town 2002!!!:D All you need is Lou Pearlman and MTV, and you're all set!

Seriously, take away the Whitney/Mariah/Toni Braxton/Justin Timberlake wannabe's and whose left? Only one or two who are original and interesting...At least in my opinion...Although I think in the end America will probably vote for Justin or Christina (Who is SO CUTE!!!):)

I think the best thing about this show is the judges interaction and Simon making fun of the two hosts.

I think when they get it down to the last five or six, it will be a very difficult decision.

I am absolutely addicted to American Idol. There, I admitted it!

Unfortunately, I missed the first few performers tonight. How did Nikki do? Did she or any of the others in the first half hour do really well?

Christin

Ryan, Tamyra, Christina, and Justinn were the best tonight. Any of them could be the American Idol.

My favorites were Tamyra, Justin, Christina and Kelly.

Nikki was TERRIBLE tonight, in my opinion. If given directions to sing ANY Motown song, who in their right mind would pick "Ben"? I know she tried to say it meant something and blah blah, but... she should've known better.

Somebody PLEASE send Jim Verraros home. Please.

LOL!!! That is SO true!!! And please get rid of A.J. as well!!!:D
