American Idol

Crystal was awesome as always. Aaron was also very good I thought. I loved Casey too but the judges didn't seem to think he was so great. He's so cute, I could love him no matter what he does. Enough of the screaming from Siobhan(spelling?). She has officially overdone it.

Paige is probably going home. That was one of the worst vocals I've ever heard at this point of the season. She is so beautiful but she seemed to be a nervous wreck tonight.

Justin and I said the same things while watching it the other night. One of Justin's all time favorite songs is 'Power of Love', he loved Casey's song choice and performance. Neither of us liked Siobhan's screaming, we're both over her. We didn't like Paige either, she was really bad. And I really disliked the boy with all the hair that did the slide across the stage (I want to call him Tim, but I'm not sure if that's right).

I think Siobhan has a good voice. But the judges praised her screaming (don't know why, but they did it with Adam Lambert too) so now she does it ALL the time. I'm glad Simon said what he did about the screaming. I could not stand Adam and his screaming. I'd actually fast forward through his performances. It seems to be getting to that point with Siobhan too.

Ok, I'm thinking if you haven't watched the results show yet you won't be reading this thread. Paige did horrible this week. But she did GREAT last night on her last song. Why couldn't she sing like that for the past few weeks?

And yes, the guy that slid is Tim. I was okay with the bottom three last night (except Katie, I really like her). So it didn't matter to me which one left.

I also thought the judges were all over the place with their comments. I thought Casey did great too. And then even amongst the judges it was like they were listening to two completely different performances sometimes.

I don't know. But I think I'm starting to be over this whole American Idol thing. It's not as exciting as it once was. I might tune in next season just to see how it is without Simon (if he really leaves). And of course, I will finish this season as well.

I love Katie too. I was shocked to see her in the bottom three.

So I read an interview with Paige after she left, and it said she was struggling with her health - high blood pressure and asthma as well as laryngitis - the whole time, which does explain her bad performances, as it is hard to have good breath support without breath ...

Sad, but probably better for her to stay home and get a handle on her medical issues before she takes the stage or to the road!

I was not surprised with any of the "bottom three," I do like Katie, but she has struggled in prior weeks ...

So was anyone surprised at who left this week? It seemed pretty predictable. I DVR it, though, so didn't see - did they deliberate at all, or just tell her "It's unanimous, you're out" when she finished?

I wasn't surprised by who went home but wanted more for it to be someone else.

They didn't really deliberate. It looked like they discussed a little bit while she was singing her swan song (which I think isn't fair, it must be terribly distracting for the performer), and Simon either was faking dramatic suspense or wasn't 100% sure the vote was unanimous, because he didn't drop the ax immediately.

I agree. The one who went home has been one of my favorites from the beginning, but I really didn't see that person lasting too much longer. There were definitely others I was ready to see go though.
