American Idol Season 8 ----SPOILERS INSIDE-----

[cassiesmom]

Since I'm new to "AI" - how will this work? There are 13 contestants - will they all sing each week till the end, or does someone get eliminated periodically? I'm mad because I am going to miss both Tuesday and Wednesday this week. On Tuesday night there is a condo association board meeting that I can't skip (new board member elections and I'll get nominated if I don't go), and on Wednesday I have church band. I'm sure my stand partner will fill me in.


Thanks,
Elyse

Each week someone gets eliminated. However, sometimes they trick ya and go one week without kicking someone off. And then they will kick two people off without warning. I'm guessing they'll have to do a double elimination since they have 13 in the top.
Oh, and in previous years they sometimes have the girls all sing one week and one of them goes and then the guys the next week. But they are always changing it up, so who knows what they'll do this year.
You can always come here for the updates when you miss it.

How did everybody like the show last night? I thought it was great. This year, we seem to have much better talent than ever.

Adam is unbelievably good. He's going places. Anoop was a bit of a disappointment. Jorge wasn't as good as I expected either.

I don't know who is going tonight. It's going to be difficult to pick because the ones that didn't do well have a big fan base.

I think it's two people going tonight so.....Megan and Scott, maybe Jasmine(I thought she was very good by the way and I love that song). Hard to say. Anybody else have a guess?

I agree! Great show with lot's of talent.
I love Adam. He is awesome.
He's definately going places after this show, even if he doesn't win.

I have no idea who will go home: It will probably be one of the following:

megan based on song choice
anoop based on song choice
scott
jasmine
jorge

Well, you guys heard how they said there's something different that involves the judges, right?
So, I'm thinking it's that the judges have a say in who leaves. If anyone has watched America's Best Dance Crew, I think it might be like that in a way. That is a Randy Jackson show, so maybe he had an influence.
On ABDC America votes and the bottom two crews are in the hands of the judges as to who stays and who goes. So it might not be the person with the lowest amount of votes that goes home.
But that's just a guess. We shall see how it goes down tonight.

As for last night, I Danny. I like Adam too and I thought Michael did a good job. Anoop and Megan picked horrible songs. And that's all I can remember. LOL Oh, Jasmine is my favorite girl.

They said last night that the bottom TWO people will be eliminated tonight. Then the show will be back to its normal number of contestants.

I did 30-second-skip over a lot of the "back story" parts, I just want to hear the performances!

Last night was the BEST NIGHT EVER. A michael Jackson theme... I don't care what anyone says. I LOVE michael jackson lol always have and always will.

I also think this is the best year ever. Usually there are a few people who I can't believe made it on the show but this year EVERYONE has tons of talent and I think the only disappointments h ave been their song choices.

I really have NO idea who is going home tonight.

What do you guys think about the 4th judge? I can't stand her lol. I'm sure they put her on to distract from Paula's "crazy" but man... it takes extra time to hear a 4th judge ramble on and she just annoys the cr@p out of me lol

After everything that's been said about him, I actually love him too....well...his music.

I thought Adam was amazing. I just wanted to get up and dance. Does anyone think he looks like a young Elvis? That kid is going places.

Jorge was okay. I hope he sticks around because I think he's good.

The girls are not making an impression on me this year. The guys, however, are.

I did not hear this....interesting. It makes sense.

I love Michael Jackson too, well his music anyway, and I always have.

I don't mind Kara, except the funny way her mouth moves when she talks.
And I'm sorry, was it just me or did Paula look like she got beat up and tried to cover it up with make-up? And every time she talked she sounded and looked like she was going to burst into tears. She looked like she HAD been crying for hours, her eyes were all glossy. Maybe it was the make up, but she didn't look too good.
