My three to get in tonight are...
Danny....thought Paula and Cara were going to take their nickers off and throw them at him last night.....he wasn't that good.
Tatiana , yes she's annoying but they spent fully five minutes talking to her after she sang, that's got to help her.
Little blond girl who sang I think third.

I think last night pretty much proves I have no idea what constitutes "good music" anymore. If I ever did.
Except for a few performances, everyone pretty much sucked again. Two hours. Thank god you can fast forward DVR recorded shows.
I really didn't get the girl in the white dress they were raving about. The song sucked. She's not as hot as everyone says she is. And she does this weird thing with her arms when she sings. I have no idea what that is. It looks like something Mr. Miyagi would make you do to teach you karate.
I didn't like the guy who sang the Stones song either. Granted he's got an amazing voice, but the guy is such a tool I don't see how anyone can vote for him. I felt like I was watching Rolling Stones, the Musical.
I did like the chick who sang Alone. A little tough on the high parts, but really cool voice.
My favorite was the redhead who sang Bette Davis Eyes. In fact, I think I might be in love.

He's a novelty act, though novelty acts sell records too, and I'm not sure he wasn't one of the three best last nite.
But you hafta figure the way they sucked off Drama Club Jagger that he's gonna advance; and I'd guess the next two best-looking ones go after that (the scruffy hawaiian guy and the tattoo sleeve skank who can't dance). That'd be my prediction.

The chick who sang Heart was outstanding. Really incredible. Rolling Stones: The Musical guy was over-the-top dreck.
The Coldplay guy was "at least okay"?!?! Awful, awful, awful. My ears started bleeding. Dreadful show last night except for the redheaded 16-year-old, who can effing wail. She should find her way through.
Norman Gentle makes me laugh. I hope he has enough votes to make it through, because he makes a mockery of the whole show.
My votes: Allison Iraheta (Heart) & Kris Allen (Man In The Mirror), with Mishavonna Henson or Norman as the wild card.
Prediction: Rolling Stones/My Chemical Romance wannabe guy, Heart girl, and then it'll come down to Norman and Megan Corkrey (blondie), with Megan sneaking through.

I have been told by a couple of Idol nuts that the final spot is referred to on the interwebs as the "pimp" spot, where the producers/judges place their favorites so they can be showered with praise, no matter how average their performance (see Danny last week and Adam last night).
I liked the Heart girl plus the red head, even if she did sing "Betty Daisy Eyes" in one place. Megan is ok too, but my wife wanted her eliminated just because of her outfit. And, hey, did anybody catch Megan's mom in the audience? Grandmilf in the house!

I forget they had a blind guy too. What are they gonna do when he goes up against the Dead Wife guy?
Blind Guy wasn't really any good last nite, but he'll probably advance along with Lil Rounds and, I guess either, the dark-haired chick who was in the middle or the fella who sang that fucking awful Delilah song (but sung it well). I would like to kill the homo bastard who wrote that song.
I would also like to kill the homo bastard Nathaniel but he'd probably get off on the attention.
The patronization of that poor ugly Puerto Rican homo bastard was just shameful.

Last night was the best of the three rounds of twelve , the judges could not be more patronizing if they tried...Paula probably doesn't mean it but she's a wreck , I thought she was going to say to Scott that even though he's blind he can sing...giving kudos to the Puerto Rican guy for taking diction lessons was just wrong......don't fucking go there looking for talent then.....I think he has a chance of going through , mostly the judges were positive with him and the tears from him can only help. Lil Rounds is a cert to go through and I liked Ju'not , replacement chick was HOT , has a chance....Nate should be shot and that's that.....wild card show is tomorrow?

I don't think he's a great singer by any stretch but I can see Blind Guy becoming a huge star, and he wouldn't have to win Idol to do it.

I'd send home Kris (boring guy with the guitar) and the Fat Oil Rig Guy (even more boring), but I'm pretty sure America will keep Kris around and send home Jasmine or maybe even Lil.
Anoop = sucked.
Blind Guy = eh.
Adam Lambert = Better than 'Satisfaction' but still not nearly at the level Paula's moistness would indicate. Totally over the top by the end. His David Cassidy looks are going to take him to the final 3 anyway.

I haven't watched much this year, happened to catch a few minutes last night.
Is Adam the guy who sang Black Or White? I could see that guy singing in an early 90's metal tribute band but that's about it. The judges couldn't get enough of him.

My problem with the show is that so many of them are annoying.

Out of the bunch only Dead Wife guy is likeable. Can't Speak English guy creeps me out a lot. Now I know how chicks feel when ugly guys leer at them.
Lil is annoying and so is Megan.
I'm rooting for Dead Wife Danny and Redhead Allison.

It's almost funny how clearly she seems to understand that her one and only route to fame is behind those fleshy love balloons. At this rate she'll come out for the finals and instead of singing just shake.

Not sure why this was on when I walked in the door tonight, but that Megan Joy chick was singing and I wanted to jump through the TV and make out with her. Some Bob Marley song that they trashed her for, but I thought for this show, she had a pretty unique and sorta quirky voice.

Megan is one singer that is different with her quirky voice yet they clearly do not want her there and every time a judge starts of by telling her that they like her it's clear that they don't.

Anyone still watching this?
I have to admit I really enjoyed last night's finale. I can't believe some no-name can go on a reality show then end up singing as the front-man for Queen and Kiss on the same night. Amazing.
At times my wife and I sat there wondering if it was suddenly 1985 again.
I thought all along that it would be Gokey or Kris Allen. Both are the type that the people who vote would like. Adam, I thought, was just too weird to win over the younger fans.
I'm just glad it wasn't Gokey. I've never soured on a contestant like I did with him. I liked him in the beginning, but as time went by, his act got old. I mean, he can sing, but he just looks like a tool out there.
On the other hand, no one has ever grown on me through the course of the show like Adam. I hated him in the beginning, but the guy can flat out sing. And he may be a flaming weird drama queen, but he's a likeable one.
For reasons I can't quite understand, I've always like Cyndi Lauper. I wonder how Captain Lou is doing these days.

Couldn't agree with you more . My wife and I watched every week. We hated Gokey......he was just very annoying. Kris to his credit got better as the weeks went by and I got to think that Gokey's fans voted for him after he got the boot.
I liked Adam a lot but maybe a whole section of people out there just wouldn't vote for him. Pictures have been surfacing for weeks of him kissing men and yyybbb....Kris on the other hand is safe I suppose....still I liked them both the Adam seemed genuinely happy for him.
Kiss and especially the Queen segment rocked.
Bikini Girl with the huge new boobs....thought Seacrest handled that great...Kara stripping to her bikini was a WOW moment.....
Good show all round
I thought Allison and Cyndi started out a bit slow but the song grew....

Exactly. It's not as if the winner and runner-up hadn't had the exact same amount of National Branding over the last 3 months
I was rooting for Glambert by the end only because I suspect he coulda been really subversive and destroyed the whole thing by revealing at the end it was all an act, or maybe by turning up in some beastiality videos or something. Plus when he wasn't destroying songs he was capable of singing them well.
It's obvious Brian May should kick out Paul Rodgers and go make a few billion on a summer tour with this kid.
Kris put me to sleep from the beginning. And had very little soul for a guy who sung as many soul songs as he did. The best thing he ever did was apologize for winning.
On a more general note the show has probably jumped the shark. The 4th judge added nothing but irritation, and the addition of the judge "save" was a joke. Why can't they just dial 1-800-IDOLS-01 like the rest of America?

Considering that's 6 months-to-a-year out of the guy's life (and suddenly-hot career), and that the runners-up (Clay Aiken, et al) get as much of a press bump just from being here, isn't winning the thing a lot more of a white-elephant prize than it's made out to be?

I remember reading an article a couple years back which was giving advice to winners and would-be winners of AI
Step 1: GET OUT OF THE CONTRACT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
IOW, the deal the winner essentially agreed to simply by participating and winning was very pro-show owners and not so much pro-artist. Nothing too shocking there as many new-artist deals screw the artist over. The difference here is that this "new" artist already has a sizable dose of fame he/she can parlay into some big bucks but are restricted from doing so on account of what they're locked into for the near (or maybe not so near) future.
