American Idol

[Karen]

I am watching it this season, for the second year. Is anyone else watching?

This story from CNN made me think better of the judges, I loved that woman, and thought she deserved a shot.

I am watching this year and I must say I am VERY pleasantly surprised with Ellen. I didn' tknow how it would work with her as a judge because she is the kind of person that only wants to say positive things and she jokes around a lot but I was really happy to see she is taking is very seriously with a little humor thrown in.

And that article made me tear up. I too really liked her and couldn't believe she didn't make it. I thought there were others that didn't perform nearly as well as she did that made it. so glad to hear she is going to get her chance

I'll be watching this year. I think Ellen is funny!

They also lost one of the guys who originally was picked for the final 12 guys. He had had a record contract before but didn't tell them so he got booted. I can't remember who will replace him. Helpful, aren't I?

They said he - the "foster kid" - was replaced by Tim Urban.

Chris Golightly was replaced by Tim Urban. I did notice they showed him at the end, but not during the reveal. I wasn't counting how many they put through though, so I didn't notice they were one short until they summarized the names at the end.

As for the Martin girl. I thought she should have made it over the young country girl, Haeley Vaughn. But hey, we aren't the judges. Yet!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I haven't had time to watch this year. I'm gonna try to watch it this next week. I feel lost without it.

I've been watching every week and I must say these are the worst group I have seen yet. When Lilly Scott was voted off I was as shocked as the judges were and I know they would've saved her if they could but she wasn't in the top 10 so they couldn't.

What the heck is Andrew Garcia still doing there, he should have been one of the first to go, he can't even carry a tune on most songs. There were many better than him and they are gone.

I don't have one favorite since none are all that good but my choices to be in the top 5 are, Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, and Lee Dewyze.

Michael Lynch is not as good as his big head thinks he is. Little Katie Stevens does not have the personaltiy and can't sing a song well all the way through, she's just way too young. Anyway these are just my choices but this group is pretty bad.

[Pinot's Mom]

Crystal is my one and only choice. It is true, this lot leaves quite a bit to be desired!

[Karen]

So I was not surprised Andrew Garcia was eliminated, he never seemed to live up to his initial audition, and I wasn't sure how he stuck around that long. It was sad to see Katie eliminated, but I am sure she will do well with her career, whatever she decides it is going to be!

Crystal has been my favorite from the beginning. I also like Lee.

Big Mike has got a BIG head. He has become so full of himself. He needs to be knocked down a peg or two. I mean, he is good, but geez!

I liked Siobhan, but I'm over her now.

It was difficult for me to make it through this week becuase I can't really stand Adam Lambert. Sorry. I felt he was telling them things just to make himself seem all important. And he kept wanting them to sing like he does, with the raspy scream in the voice. Only Siobhan sings like that!!

Exactly how I feel. I used to love Adam but he isn't my favorite at all any more.
Mike is on my last nerve. Sorry if I am offending anyone but his Mr. Wonderful attitude is really annoying.

I was so upset to see Katie go. All I could think about was her Grandmother being upset about it, if she had the presence of mind to realize it.
It hit so close to home.

Sorry to say that Siobhan is really weirding me out.

[Momto4FemaleFelines]

I haven't been here in awhile (life getting in the way)...I don't think I ever commented about the week Michael was in the bottom 3 and then left as the one to go. Thank goodness the judges saved him and he came back strong the following week. I really could not believe HE was the one with the least votes that week!

As for Katie going home, I thought for sure Tim, and possibly Aaron and Siobhan would have gone home before Katie. I was shocked to find out she is the one who went this week!

Andrew definitely was not living up to any potential he may have shown earlier on. Too one-dimentsional I think.

I have not been able to participate in the ongoing thread, as usually down under we are at least one week behind, however i see this thursday, your wednesday, is the finale, and we are getting it when you do for once, well at least i think that is what is happening, correct me if i am wrong.

I am a huge American Idol fan, and i miss being able to post about it, so i just wanted to say, so far i have agreed with the American Public all the way.

I knew Casey would end up going home, mainly by what the judges had said, and yes he was indeed one little hottie, but i really think he could sing as well, and it is a bit mean to say he only got in the final three because of his looks, i don't believe that, i loved his voice.

I really am happy for ever wins, as i love the final two, but am swaying more to Lee, as his voice is more to my liking, but hey if crystal gets it, no problem.

[Karen]

Yes, the final is tomorrow (Wednesday for us) night, the performances are tonight.

I'm still rooting for Crystal, as she is at least usually on key!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I didn't get a chance to see the show very well tonight because of issues here with my Mom.

Who was the best of the two? I would love to hear anything anybody has to say about tonight's show. Thanks.
