OMG, is all I have to say......for now. I'll give people a chance to see it if they had to record it.

But I can talk about the performers tonight. I like Sugarland, but WTH was Jennifer Nettles wearing??? That was hideous!!! And then she was practically rapping in a country song.............

Sorry, but I had to fast forward through Jennifer Hudson too.

Yes,tonight sure was a big surprise to me about the person that had the least amount of votes. I'm glad that it ended the way that it did though. No, I didn't care for Sugarland at all. I thought Jennifer Hudson was much better and I'm not a fan of her either. Since I got home early enough to watch the whole show, I was hoping that they'd have some one really good on that I actually liked. Next week should also be interesting.

I thought it was fun and silly that they had Hulk Hogan on, and that James appeared genuinely stunned. Sugarland and Jennifer Hudson were fine, I had no idea Jennifer Hudson was that tall, heels not withstanding!

I was not surprised that they saved Casey, I think many voters probably assumed he was fine, so gave their votes to other candidates they thought might be in danger. Casey did seem truly stunned by the save, he did look like he was gonna pass out or vomit or something ... and am glad he didn't!

Also, did you think, during the Steven Tyler birthday thing, they were going to say who did the painted portrait Naima was obviously told to hold so the audience could see it? That was a bit weird, and Steven Tyler didn't seem to react to it much at all ...

I just have to say the entire "production" at the end of the show was definitely planned. There wasn't enough time left in the show for Casey to sing, the judges to deliberate and then give their decision. They usually go to commercial while the judges discuss it. PLUS, earlier in the show Ryan made a comment about making sure you stay tuned to the very end of the show. Why would he say that???
Regardless if it was planned or not, I'm glad they kept him and I'm glad there will be 11 going on tour. Not that I'll go see them, probably. But you never know. I went the year Taylor Hicks won (mainly just to see Chris Daughtry).

They often run overtimes, but didn't this time, and we got to see all of Casey's reaction. I don't think it was planned that much. Because I never watch it live, just record it, I often miss the last minute or so when they go over the usual time ... rarely see how the program actually ends, credits and all that!

That's true! I need to remember that so I can just record the show that comes on after to catch it. But I still think it was planned....not that Casey knew, but the producers and judges knew. No he was seriously shocked. He was shaking!
