American Idol

[paceman]

Anybody watching this year? I just started now that they are into the Final Live portion. Looks like some really good talent this year and some real lookers. I also like the new Judges as well but they could be a bit more critcal. At least Randy is at times. My top 3 from last night were Casey Abrahm, James Durbin, Pia Toscano (wow is she hot). Bottom 3 for me are Paul Mcdonald, Karen Rrodriguez and Jacob Lusk. I think Paul will get booted tonight.

At this point, I think Casey will win it. That dude is so talented, it's scary! His only competition could come from that Pia Toscano. The deep voiced country singer is a shoe in for a music contract when he leaves the Idol competition.

Wow last night they sang Motown music and I thought the group as a whole did Awesome. Gonna be hard to pick a top 3 or even a bottom 3. One person I think is terrible but the judges love is that black guy Jacob. I just don't think he is very good. James Urban, Casey, Stephano Pia were great. I think that blond southern bell gal will go home tonight.

Am I the only one who thought it would be awesome to be able to audition, only to sing:

[gregg52]

TASCAANO WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she could be a model if she didnt get a music contract which she will

i think most of the remaining will all end up in the industry

the country guy could quit right and he'll CMT'S best new artist

i agree i dont care for that jacob he can sing but kinda a gospel

type

it will interesting tonight i'm thinkin the little tia will go maybe cuz shes just so young

would be tuff if it had to judged thats for sure

[Jim Almquist]

I also think it will be Thia tonight going home. Hailey will be in the bottom 3 for sure and the other might just be Naima again. I think the country crowd will keep Lauren in this game for a while. I really like just how good the competition is this year.

[The Grebe]

We thought it would be Stephano and when it was Casey, we were shocked! We were even shocked when he was in the bottom 3! My wife and I thought it would go down to the wire between him and Pia.

That was a good show tonight, surprise guests, kinda got caotic at the end, but....

[paceman]

Wow last night show was crazy. How in the world did Stephano and Casey get into the bottom three. That is just wrong. They are top 5 caliber singers. It was an insane ending to a wild night. Next week should be super intense with 2 being send home.

[Jim Almquist]

I think it was one of those deals where you vote for the person you don't want voted off and they end up not voting for one of the favorites because you believe there is no way they are going home. It was a very entertaining show. Next week should be intense. The theme is suppose to be Elton John according to what I am finding on the internet.

[gregg52]

it was a good show fun to watch

ijust dont think any one can beat pia

probably sound like male chauvinists but

mam oh man how hot can you get!!!!!!!!

[Wanderer]

Ciao baby! Pia IS hot. Gorgeous. And a great singer.

I summed up Casey's placement as the Daughtry phenomenon as well. They all have some serious talent at this point and I suspect this season will have the most successful alumni yet.

[The Grebe]

I second that brother! She is beautiful, elegant, shapely, poised, gracious and she has some pipes on her! I could see her easily winning the whole enchilada! She is definately the total package.

[paceman]

My top 3 from last night were Pia (of course),Casey, and Halley. Bottom three for me were Jacob, Thia, and the african jamaican gal.(can't remember her name) I think Thia is a goner but I would be happy to see any of my bottom 3 go.

[Wanderer]

So who went? It should have been two. I caught Wednesday but not Thursday.

[Jim Almquist]

Thia and Naima were the 2 voted off. I think they got it right this week but it is going to get a lot tougher in the coming weeks.

[Wanderer]

Agreed.

[The Grebe]

Next one to go IMO is Stephano. He really hit a couple of the numbers he did, but with the remaining contestants, he is toward the bottom as far as voice goes.

But, sometimes, it doesn't always matter about the voice, it matters about whose doing the most voting i.e. the younger girls. I don't think that guy with the flashy smile and the really white teeth is that good either, but the voters keep him in it.

Those are the same voters that thought that Casey should go out of the competition before those two that went last week, go figure? Then last week he got a staggering amount of votes? Again, go figure? Unless it was some kind of concocted thing, made up by the producers to create drama?

I think Lusk will be going, Haily, maybe not in that order, but after that, I don't know?

[paceman]

I can't stand to watch or listen to Jacob Lusk. I think he is just terrible. Not really sure if he is a guy or a girl....

[Jim Almquist]

I can't stand to watch or listen to Jacob Lusk. I think he is just terrible. Not really sure if he is a guy or a girl....

While I agree that he is far from my favorite singer it really comes down to the voters and he might get the black/soul/church singer vote and they might be huge in numbers. Rock and Roll hall of fame is the theme this week. My guess would also be Jacob or Stefano to go home.

[Wanderer]

Man, Jacob is pretty darn good but I think the Mad Magazine cover boy (Scotty) is better.

I just don't "get" Paul. Strange voice IMO.

Casey can still bring it but I haven't been as impressed with him as I was earlier.

Pia needed a better outfit.... well, a couple of them did.

[The Grebe]

What the heck just happened? How does Pia get voted off? The voters aren't voting on talent, they are voting on something else? Don't be surprised if they find a way to bring her back....I think that has happened with contestants before?

[Deitz Dittrich]

WOW, Wrong, Nuff said.. WRONG!!!! Good Luck Pia on your music career.

[Wanderer]

Pia needed a better outfit....

With this year's talent, this might be all it takes on a given week.

Too bad but I doubt it's the last we'll see of her.

[paceman]

Wow, The voters just plain blew it. Pia should have won it or at least been in the finals. She was one of the few that I looked forward to every week. Idiots.....

[Jim Almquist]

It really makes me wonder just who is doing the voting this year. Seems to be some very strange voting from week to week that just is not right. Guess I can't complain because I never voted
