American Idol

Well have you all been seening our local boy Casey James?? Casey is from Cool Tx inwhich is about 5 miles from MW.. Its a very very small town.. Casey James is doing real good.. He is in the top 24..

That's neat that he's so near you! He did a pretty good job last night, better than many of the others.

And the girl with the harmonica- that's Crystal Bowersox, and I thought she did a great job. And I also thought that the woman who sang "Landslide" killed a perfectly nice song.

I've been able to get home in time to watch it. This year I agree with Simon in that the women seem like they have better singers than the men so a woman should win this year. I liked Crystal Bowersox but I thought she sang a song by Alanis Morissette. I also liked Siobhan Magnus who sang the Chris Issak song "Wicked Game." I ended up voting for both of them.

I thought that most of the men weren't very good at all. My favorite was Casey James. Although he's very handsome,he's also very talented and I voted for him. I also think that Andrew Garcia is very talented but I didn't care for the song that he chose to do on Wed. night. I loved his "Straight Up" performance during Hollywood week though.

I thought that Lacey Brown who sang "Landslide" should've gone home. She was horrible. I also thought that Haeley Vaughn who sang the Beatles song "I Want To Hold Your Hand" should've also gone home. There were so many bad songs that the men sang that it was hard for me to pick only 2 of them. Hopefully everyone will improve next week.

I watched American Idol last night for the first time in my life. I guess I thought they would be better. Haven't seen the guys yet, but from what I hear, they are pretty bad. I hope everyone gets better from week to week.

I watched because Lilly Scott is the daughter of my co-worker Greg. He said she was a wild child and would disappear for days until they could track her down. He said he's praying she makes the top 10 'cuz she needs a job.

So, I guess I'll be voting for Lilly (or Feathers as some of us call her because of her earrings).

Is John Park still in? He went to my school and graduated a year before me.

Wow, that's really cool! I like the asian guy on there, he is such a good singer! Plus my fiance is asian so I tend to notice them right away and he is a great singer!

[Kalei]

If it was on tonight, I missed the show Is there another way to see it? What happened on it tonight?

Sadly, John Park and Jermaine (the church singer guy with the bow tie) were eliminated. Jermaine's version of the song was so bad I DVR-skipped over his singing of it tonight after the first several seconds.

For the women, the lovely Haeley - the African American teenager with the big flower in her hair, and Michelle Delamour of the beautiful looks but just okay performance also went home. Haeley's elimination was particularly heart-wrenching, and she barely made it through her "performance" as you could still see the tear tracks down her face, and in her voice, poor kid.

I like Lilly alot. She will most likely have a great job after the show, no matter what the outcome is.

I watch the show after it's over so I can forward through commercials and things I don't want to see. Ironically, I flipped through the performances of all four of the people that went home last night. So I felt America got it right.

Out of the girls, my favorites so far are: Lilly Scott, Crystal Bowersox and Siobahn Magnus.

Out of the guys: Casey James, Andrew Garcia and Lee Dewyze.

Overall they are not doing so well this season. They were so good during auditions, but are failing now. With the exception of most of the names I just listed above.

I was sad to see Lilly Scott go, as she's got such a unique voice. Hopefully something good will come of her time on American Idol. I was really surprised she left before Katie Stephens, who seems like a really nice girl but is having trouble figuring things out, and Paige Miles, who did such a bad job on "Smile" this week, and seems to have just given up.

In some ways, I am not surprised Lily went home. A very important week and she did not pick a song to highlight herself. I don't think she should have went home before some of the others, but she definitely did not have a stand-out performance to make people want to pick up the phone and vote for her....at least not in my opinion.

I didn't watch the guys' performance this past week so I can't say much about them.

After watching the women on week 3 of the countdown to the final 12, I thought Katie, Katelynn and Paige were in danger of going home. Katelynn did a horrible impression of Carole King. I don't even think she was really playing the keyboard, at least it didn't look like it to me. And Paige has not impressed me since day one. I never thought Lilly would go home before Paige, that is for sure! If it had been my choice, I would've sent Katelynn nad Paige home.
