Yup, I believe it's the men that are competing on Monday.

Here I go again gettin wrapped up in AI

My favs so far

Male- toss up with David Brown and Nikko Smith

Girls- Lindsay Cardinale and Nadia Turner

Well I haven't watched enough to have a favorite so far, but I have always liked Carrie Underwood. And then I found out she's a Tri Sigma, so I will definitely be rooting for her!

Overall the boys were NOT great

Standouts- Nikko, Bo, and Anwar

I'm down with Mario Vasquez all the way.

I'm sold.

He better not mess this up.

My thoughts exactly.

Anwar and Mario were the only stand-outs.

I think there is a lot more talent in the girls and think it will be a girl who takes it this year. I have several favorites so far but am waiting for tomorrow to see how they perform under pressure. :)

I liked the guy who sang Moon River.

Over your long-lost twin brother Anwar? ;)

Mario did have a great performance. Loved Anwar too, and Nikko Smith. And Bo! How great was he?

Judd Harris is this season's Jon Peter Lewis, only with a better voice.

Constantine wasn't technically that good, but boy does he have charisma.

Well the dudes they didn't show before (Joe and Jared) weren't anything special... sad to say. I can see either one of them going home, based on the fact that this is the first time seeing both of them sing.

On to the ones we have seen:

I heard rumors about Bo and WOW, he was awesome. He's the real rocker of the bunch... not ConstantMeh... who tonight was, well, meh.

I missed Nikko, but he didn't sound that great in the recaps. Maybe it was a bad clip.

Anthony... sadness. I really was rooting for you. But that song was boring. And is heard at way too many senior proms.

Judd Harris cracks me up. Loved the performance and his smile. Voice is tolerable... hopefully he doesn't suffer from JPL syndrome, where when he stops moving, he stops singing good.

Anwar and Mario are my heros. Love Moon River, even though I'm used to Audrey singing it. It was an interesting arrangement. And during Mario's piece, I was waiting for the JaRule sample to come in. Yes, I'm showing that I really am that young and I don't think I've ever heard that original song. But kudos to him for a good stage presence.

Glad it was taped for me! That was some kinda boring last night. I think a new rule should be no ballads until ballad night.

I was kinda eh at Nikko, but after the rest, he sounded better to me.

Scott let me down, even though I love the song "you are my lady" - it really was not him.

Go home Harry Potter - if nothing else, you should know better than to sing Richard Marx. In fact - lets make another new rule - NO Richard Marx or Michael Bolton songs.. EVER

Y'all that love Constantine have got to show me why - he is so ugh ugh ugh - I like Bo better, but I didn't think it was a huge hit for him.

I am disappointed with Travis too - he has a great voice and he shoulda showed it off a little last night.

Anwar and Mario - both as expected - big hits of the night.

Best singers last night: Bo, Anwar, and Mario

Best performances last night: Judd, Constantine, and Mario

Man, they sure picked some crappity crap songs.
Don't they know by season 4 that song selection is key?

I didn't realize that AI was on last night :(

I voted for Bo and Anwar. Everyone else either didn't do anything for me or they just plain sucked. That last guy w/the funny hat. I hated him. I found nothing entertaining about him nor did I like his singing. It was dull.

But I did! and I'm glad i get to see it.

I'm rooting for my fellow clevelander. :cool:

Hahaha, I like the original song and I still was hearing the JaRule sample in my head when he was singing it!
