Jaye, I hope you got to see the show tonight so you can tell me what you thought - maybe we agreed?
* Amanda - This week I gave up and turned on the captions early. It's a good thing I did because once again I understood only about 20% of what she said. Having said that, I think it was the best SHE has ever done, and I liked the presence of energy that has been lacking before. I thought she connected with the audience better this time than ever before.
* Kristy Lee - Well, her low notes sounded really off key to me. I'm not the greatest detector of pitch, but several times I wondered if she was way off or if it was supposed to sound like that. I agreed with the judges that she just tried to play it way safe. And I'm still laughing about her comment to Simon.
* David A. - Phats, I'm sorry, I know that he annoys you, but I just loved him. I was so happy for him that he remembered all his words and redeemed himself from last week. I thought it was beautiful and it was probably my favorite of the night.
* Michael - I didn't know the song, but I was scared for him when he started singing after I heard him say he'd picked a long song and tried to pick out the best parts. That can't be good. I thought he was off pitch a few times too. It was really funny that Paula made the big deal about the monitors and then he wasn't wearing any!
* Brooke - Oh bless her heart; I still just love her to pieces but she seemed so NERVOUS! I hated that for her. It wasn't nearly as good as she can do, but I still love her and I do appreciate her choice to at least try something different.
* David C. - I just love him (sorry Phats, I know his hair bugs you). The voice box thing (or whatever they called it) was fun, I thought, and I love it when he uses the guitar too. I like it that he's trying to show people (much as Amanda said she was doing) what they would get if they came to one of his concerts.
* Carly - Well, I tried. I really tried again to like her. This week I determined that if I had closed my eyes, I probably would have loved the song, because her voice sounded great. But once again, bottom line, she scares me. Watching her scares me.
* Jason - Oh so corny. He was a charming cutie (Jaye) but so corny. I thought half the time he had almost an apologetic look on his face...like he was sorry we had to watch/listen to that. I agreed that it was awkward.
* Syesha - She's BAAAAAACK! I loved it. I really hope that she doesn't follow in the Haley/Katharine footsteps of relying on looks to step up votes, because she is way better than that. But I loved her song.
* Chikeze - CONFUSED ME. I agreed with the judges that he had multiple singing personalities up there. I would just get used to one style and he'd switch. That's a lot of change for a minute thirty of music. I was with Simon about the harmonica, too.
* Ramiele - Way better than last week. Definitely more fun. But not my favorite of the night.
Bottom 3? I would say Kristy Lee, Michael, Brooke, Chikeze, and Ramiele could all be in danger of the bottom 3. If I were picking, I'd put Kristy Lee and Chikeze in for sure, and I can't decide between Michael and Brooke for the third spot. (Both Michael and Brooke deserve to stay, ultimately.) My pick for elimination would be Kristy Lee.

I sure show up a lot in this post!
For starters David A. I like him too HOWEVER, the "aw shucks" act is and will get tired. He's a showbiz kid he's been doing it since he can walk he knows the angle to play.
As for tonight I loved Syesha, and it helped that she was so frickin' HOT tonight, H-O-T! Couldn't take my eyes off her. She was much better as well. I am saying GO THE HAYLEY ROUTE PLEASE!
I like David Cook, he's one of my favorites, but they need to do something with his hair. He's not a rocker til he gets rid of that.
Bottom Three
Kristy Lee, Jacuzzi, and Ramiele
JACUZZI HOPEFULLY sent packing
Well I just wanted you to feel appreciated. :D Plus you're the one that gives me the roughest time about the ones we disagree on.
the "aw shucks" part was EXACTLY when I thought of you last night. I knew that would be bugging you.
And even though I still think Syesha is classier than that, I had to laugh...she is beautiful! I'll give you that! But still. Stick to the singing.
And I agree about David's hair - but I love him anyway.
Bekah:
I'm jumping in...having read your summation, with a big smile! I love it!
We don't agree 100 percent, but I have fav's in Amanda, Carly, David Cook, Michael Johns and I think Jason has potential. The problem with Jason for me is that he has facial expressions that remind me of "Vinnie Barbarino" (yup, I'm old!)
Syesha has a GREAT voice and determination and I really like her!
Brooke, however, is wearing old on me. Her new agey, yuppie ballad, "I can't stand on stage and sing without a musical instrument in hand" act is not helpful. She'd be good in a coffee house, but not as a concert artist.
Ramiele is predictable to me, and kinda boring. Kristy Lee just don't have it, and her "countryizing" songs aren't that great. Chikeze was great last week. Don't know what happened this week.
And David A? He's too naive, young, will get eaten for lunch by Hollywood sharks if he were to win this. Or, his dad will control him and use him. (not good, Jeff, not good). Plus, David will have every gay pedophile looking for him. SIGH. Sorry, that's the reality of Hollywood and the music business. No, I DO NOT like that at all.
So...that's my assessment to join in with ya'lls! This is fun!
Tsofah -
Welcome to our Idol discussion and I'm glad you left your thoughts!
I definitely had the bottom 3 wrong (shocker) and I'm sorry your fave Amanda went home. Even though I couldn't understand her, I didn't want her to leave tonight. She's the Indiana girl, so I couldn't completely wish her away.
I have to admit I've not done my research on David A's dad...but I saw on some TMZ commercial tonight that they were going to run a story about his behavior. David's a nice kid and I wouldn't want to see his Dad using him for whatever personal gain! (And how'd he get to be such a nice guy if his dad is not a nice guy?)
Well, I won't miss her only because I wasn't a big fan of her style, it was just neat having an Indiana girl, and a Purdue girl to root for!
Sigh...bye bye Amanda. I didn't expect her to win, but I thought others would leave first. The fact that Carly was in the bottom three surprised me as well.
It's easy to take for granted that "others" are voting for the fav's, and therefore, your vote doesn't matter. I gotta stop doing that!
I'm concerned that Kristy Lee may end up being the next "Sanjaya".
I am sad that we have to endure another week of Kristy Lee Cook. I can't take it anymore! Amanda should have at least been in the top 10 tour. I didn't expect her to win, but like Paula said, she is an asset to the group. I thought Brooke was awful, which is sad becuase I really like her. I was surprised to see Carly in the bottom 3. I really liked David Cook's performance, I thought Michael wasn't that great, and I actually liked David Archuleta's performance. I was gone Tueday night so I had to tape it and I didn't know it was a 2 hour deal & I only taped an hour and 1/2 so I didn't get to see Syesha, Ramiele or Jacuzzi, but I saw thier recaps and thought Syesha was good. The other two were poor. Jason Castro looked like a big dork singing Michelle, but he's charming and I like him anyway. He's just SO beautiful. He's got the face of an angel. Carly was bland and corny about why she chose her song. I just still can't believe that Amanda was beat by Kristy Lee! It's because she's a country girl and all the dumb country fans out there want to keep her on the show since she's the only country singer. Joe loves Kelli Pickler, by the way! It's so funny, he just laughs at her all the time because she's so dumb. He says, "It's like she has mental retardation but also charm and talent, which makes her likeable." I liked her performance of "Red High Heels." She's my favorite ex Idol.
Hey I am a country fan and I PROMISE you I am not voting for Kristy Lee Cook!
I too like Kellie Pickler for starters she's HOT. WOuld love to see a tour with her, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert
Phats - True, an Indiana girl was a good thing. We still have David, who, though neither a girl NOR living in Indiana...still has ties.
Kellie Pickler cracks me up. I like her but she still cracks me up.
Tsofah - Oh boy, we do NOT need another Sanjaya! I guess we'll know for sure if she does the ponytail mohawk thing! :)
Sarah - Joe's conculsion of Kellie is hysterical. SO true! I really do like her but sometimes I have to wonder...is she really that mentally blonde?? ANd if so...how'd she make it this far??
