With Tamyra gone, it's obvious this show isn't about who's got the best voice. But then again, neither is real showbusiness or Britney Spears and J-Lo wouldn't have singing careers. Justin and Nikki aren't as vocally talented as Kelly or Tamyra, but they both have a gimmick going for them. It wouldn't surprise me if one of those two win the competition.

I guess the game done changed now. Those other three better have their acts as tight as possible. I thought the Justin would be the one to be voted out, but then again he has the cute boy image going for him.

*Boo* *Hiss*
I KNOW I was screaming at the T.V. last night, "This is some bullish!!" I just couldn't believe it, Tamyra is gone! I'm so sad, she was my favorite...but she represented beautifully and exited with a lot of class.
Simon is right, she is so much bigger than this...and she is from Atlanta so I know there will be some opportunities for her when she gets home. She will blow up if she gets with the right people.
I agree that obviously this isn't about who can sing, this is going to be about how many records will sell when whomever's album drops...Somebody can sell Nikki, somebody can sell Justin. It's about noteriety (hope that's close to the right spelling, lol) and the final three better be on point next week. I know Nikki is counting her blessings right about now.
I agree Cricket...one of those two will probably win. Sad, but possible.

I know here there was a mishap with the phone numbers. For some reason, instead of calling to vote for the contestants, locals did not use the area code, but instead called a local number to some person that called the TV station.

Exactly...I knew that a black person (read: not a mixed person) wouldn't win...esp a Black girl)...No offense, but Justin is only there still b/c girls (esp. those teeny-bopper N'Sync and Backstreet Boys lovers  ) think he's cute, which makes me  yet  b/c he's taking my home skillet's spot!!! They (America) are not ready for Tamyra! Nikki got the sympathy vote (which ain't right either b/c we're all struggling!
That's alright, cuz Tamyra is a true star. She's the epitome of class and grace, and possesses a style all her own. I know she'll go far...
Shoot, if JD or Dallas Austin (or some other ATL producer) was smart, they'd already have her signed to their label!!!!
Cna y'all tell I'm really pissed?!

Okay, I am really about to cry right now. I had to miss American Idol this week because I have had so much to do on campus. I did not know that Tamyra was voted off until I just read this thread. I am so hurt. I was just sure that Nikki would be the one to go because she really is out of her league and she's always in the bottom two or three. I figured that since RJ was finally gone (who, by the way, lasted far too long himself), Nikki would have to be the next to go because she is nowhere near as talented as anyone else left.
Tamyra is so talented. Even though she didn't win, I'll bet that she still gets a record deal. She might even get one from Simon himself. He likes her more than anyone else and has been saying that she is the most worthy of a deal. I just hope some record company executive out there was paying attention. Tamyra ought to be a superstar.

Randy Jackson said that he will be sure to see that she makes it in this business. So her phone is probably ringing off the hook. If I was her I'd be calling LA Reid or Clive Davis. Don't worry she's in the

I heard...
I read on the internet (lol) that Simon supposedly has a deal ready for Tamyra.
He admitted on Regis and Kelly that he thought Kelly would win and that he had a crush  on Tamyra. Maybe her early exit was so that they could start a "romance".

Wow...Simon likes him some Black girls, huh? He likes his coffee dark, w/ just a bit of creamer...  Remember how he had a crush on Christina (maybe whoever wrote what you read online made a mistake and was really talking about Christina?  )?
Well, you know what they say happens when you go "Black"!

I heard that on the radio this morning 2D...supposedly Tamyra was signed before she even got kicked off. There is some "fine print" in the contracts they signed that the final 10 could be offered a deal before the show was over.
See...she's already on her way then  I heard the name of the record company is Najee Entertainment or something. We'll see.

I saw on the news yesterday, that she was in fact signed, but on the contract, it stated that she cannot release her first CD, until the American Idol winner releases his or her's.
