American Idol

I wonder who will go tonight. I thought Crystal, again, did a better job than the judges gave her credit for, and I loved her dress! Very "big band singer" but current. I thought it was sad how out of tune Casey was, and wonder if it really was that he was so nervous he didn't hear the band ... And though I really don't know why Aaron is still around, I thought that because of his size and build, he reminded me most of Sinatra!

What did you think?

So was anyone else surprised or disappointed that Mike went last night? I figured it would be either him or Casey, though I still don't quite understand Lee's appeal, I figure from the volume of squeals whenever his name is announced that he's got quite a fan base!

I actually do like Lee, and am still hoping for a Lee/Crystal finale, but I really thought based on talent alone that Casey should have gone home before Big Mike. However, I think Casey is riding a wave because of how he looks.

BINGO!

I have liked Crystal from the start, never really warmed up to "big Mike", but I understood his appeal. He'll do fine, I'm sure he's signed somewhere already! It didn't surprise me; if he didn't get enough votes before, it was sure to happen again.

I'm right there with you on all your comments. I know if I were a teen sitting home watching and voting, I'd be all ga-ga over Casey because of his looks. So I'm sure there are plenty young girls who fit that category and are doing so.

I am 59 years old and I think I'm in love with Casey. He is so adorable. That hair makes me want to fly to where he is and.......ok, enough of that nonsense. He really is a cutie patootie though and he does have a great voice.

I was expecting Mike to go. Lee has that rocker edge that really has the fan base every season. I could hardly stand to look at Mike's wife bawling so much. Is she worried he won't get a contract or worried just because she should have been?? He will do great.

I expected Casey would survive on my votes alone--ooops.

I am going to go out on a limb and predict Casey to win and Crystal the runnerup.
Don't worry, I'm always wrong.

I'm approaching 53 and I think Casey is pretty darn cute, too! But I haven't been voting for him. Crystal will get my votes because she's the only one who I think is unique and could really be an artist as well as a star.

I wasn't surprised that Big Mike was the one to leave last night. It's been a while since I've liked one of his performances.

I can see the appeal of Casey's looks, though he isn't my taste. I'm not a fan of long hair on a guy at all, it's a total turn off for me. I have liked a lot of his performances, however I wasn't a fan of this week's. I love the song Mrs. Robinson, but didn't care for his performance.

I hope Crystal wins, with Lee as first runner-up, and Casey as second runner-up.

Going by how many times he was bottom 2 or bottom 3, not real surprised. He's a decent singer but he isn't "wow".
I think Lee would be really something if he opened up more. I think what Jamie Fox said to him helped him a little, but Lee always seems kinda scared out of his wits on stage.
