For those who were wondering, "Casey Abrams was absent from Thursday's show due to receiving blood transfusions for his ulcerative colitis."

Isn't this the second time Casey's been in the hospital? That worries me.

I like Karen best when she sings in Spanish. Even though I don't understand her, I think its beautiful.

Can't wait for this next week. Do we know what they are singing? Any theme or person? I can't remember if they said at the end of the show last week.

Thanks for letting us know. I know a woman who has this disease and she said she was in pain most of her life until she had her large intestine removed. I think that's right or maybe it was her small intestine. Now she's finally pain free. I bet all the stress would really cause Casey's ulcerative colitis to flare up. I hope he'll be a okay from now on.

Yes, I heard that this is the second time that he's been in the hospital. I don't remember hearing any announcement for theme or person next week.

So what did everyone think of last night's performances? I didn't like either of the first two, though I have been a fan of Naima, she didn't seem to be on-pitch for much of the song. I wonder whether it is nerves, or what? Didn't like Paul, again - he seems like a nice enough person, sure ... and I thought some people did a better job than others of song choice. Do others like Stefano anywhere near as much as J-Lo seems to? Maybe there's something in person that doesn't come across on the screen, but I felt like he, at least actually sang last night, unlike the first two! Likes James, and Pia and Casey and ... I did like in the "banter" when they were talking about the illness going around and he told James "no hugs, no kissing anybody," he protested and tapped his wedding band and said firmly "Hey, I'm not kissing anybody here" which was nice.

Last night was disappointing to me. My favorite (although the judges didn't agree with me) was Thia. I can't believe she is only 15, her voice is so amazing!!!
I also didn't agree with the judges on James. I love him, but I did not like his performance last night. Same with Casey. He is my favorite guy and he didn't do so good last night (at least I didn't think so).
You can definitely see where Casey gets his sense of humor though. His parents were cracking me up!!!
And some of those moms (not Jacobs ) had beautiful voices.

I had wondered about Thia's name. Since my name is Cynthia, I wondered if that was her real full name. Well, it has something to do with it because her moms name is Cynthia.

My favorites last night were Pia, Lauren, James, and Casey. I agree that Naima didn't sing very well but hopefully she'll get another chance next week. I love rock so even though Casey didn't sing as well, I loved the song he performed. I also agree that Thia has an incredible voice but she needs to choose better songs. I find them very boring and sleepy like Randy keeps saying. Stefano is just an okay singer to me too. Jacob?,I think that's his name, I didn't think that he sang as well as the judges said he did.

That hadn't occurred to me, but it's obvious once you say it!

Yes, some of the parents were great, and I loved the fact that Steven Tyler told Jacob he should still be grateful to his mom because even if he didn't get his musical ability from her, he got his spunk from her! I thought the parent interviews were fun, for the most part, and enjoyed the little subtle things, like Lauren Alaina's dad wiping a tear from his eye at the very end of the clip.

Hello, I am really enjoying Idol this year. There are many talented singers competing. My fav is Scotty McCreery. Go Scotty!!! I saw an interview on local tv where his friends said he can sing songs other than country. Sure hope so... Kay in NC
