I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Anthony was the best of the night. He did a great job on that song. I still don't like him and want him gone, but if rating on just last night's performance I say he's got at least one more week left in the competition.

Bo and Vonzell were pretty good, so I put them together. Since all of my favorites are gone now, Bo would probably be my pick to win it all.

Constantine was neither here nor there for me. He wasn't the best nor was he the worst. He certainly did a better job than the next two.

Carrie comes next for me. Her performance was just awful. I actually ended up muting her halfway through.

I think Scott was easily the worst of the night. That song was all over the place and so were his notes.

I'm not happy that I have no favorites left in the competition, but it does feel good to not be concerned anymore. At this point, I can just sit back and watch what happens without being too involved and feeling like I need to vote... since I don't have the time for it anyway.

The problem with Scott is that he has more than once said that his father never supported him, made comments about problems he had with his parents so it seemed like totally the wrong song for him. There was no way he could come across as convincing singing a love song for his father.

With only 6 contestants left there will be half of them in the bottom 3! Does it seem like this has gone fast this year?

Yes, it does seem like it's gone fast, Roxip, but then I think I thought that last year, too!

Last night I found a site where I could download the MP3s of Anthony. I just had to figure out what it was that I had seen/heard from him from the beginning and why I've been rooting for him. Let me tell you, listening to his MP3s, his voice is really wonderful and I feel rather vindicated with so many starting to recognize he does has some ability. :-) I had a hard time getting through for him, harder than other weeks and I usually wait until after TAR since I can never get many votes in at all before then. I'm hoping it's a good sign for Anthony this week!

I'm having a really hard time picking out my bottom 3 with so few left. There's people I thought did a terrible job, but they have a huge voting base. What to do.. what to do..... You'd think this was the Lottery and I was going to win a million if I get it right. LOL

No one was wonderful last night, in my opinion. Still it was one of Anthony's best performances, I thought. He did better than I expected. I thought Bo was OK. I don't like that kind of country music, so I just simply wouldn't have enjoyed Carrie's regardless of how she did. My boy Constantine....not his best performance. Scott....just doesn't have the performance skills, in my opinion. Vonzell....I missed most of hers, so I can't give an opinion. You know, I would have thought that there would have been a few shining performances. Maybe like me when I am singing along with the radio, they thought they were far better than they really were.

I don't buy albums. But if I did, I would only buy one from Vonzelle. I decided that last night. I might buy a Bo album, but he wouldn't be the reason I was buying it. It would be the overall band and the type of songs. So in my book, like that matters, Vonzelle is #1.

Are the contestants living in a house this year? Did they show any house shots last season? I don't recall seeing any house shots this season or last and it makes me wonder if TPTB are getting cheap or what.

IMO - Best of the night goes to Anthony. Worst goes to Carrie. Bottom 3 should be Carrie, Scott, & Constantine (it'll prob. be Bo or Vonzelle though & not Constantine). I like Constantine but think he wasn't very good last night. However, I still think his fans will keep him out of the bottom 3. I will be very unhappy if Anthony doesn't stick around because the boy sure blew the others away last night.

At this point... this year, I pretty much like them all. I think Scott and Anthony both should have left before Anwar and Nadia, but have to give Anthony credit... he is improving every week. If he'd sang like he did last night, six weeks ago, my opinions might be different.

Anyway, after Scott and Anthony leave, I won't care who wins, in my book they're all worthy.

BUT... my question is about Constantine, if he wins this thing what kind of album would he put out? It's almost like he has multiple personality disorder! First he was Rocker guy, then he's the smoldering crooner guy, then the crazy Bohemian Rhapsody guy, The sexy disco guy, now he's back to Rocker guy! So who is he really? What kind of music would be on his album? Kinda makes you go hmmm...

Constatine will do a Phantom of the Opera meets Rocker in Dark Alley album.

I can see it now his first concert he comes out with theatre paint on his face rocking out to a Andrew Lloyd Weber song.

At this point in the game, considering how strong this year started out, I just don't like any of them. Considering the professional backgrounds of many of them, they just all sounded like amatuers yesterday.
I usually find something to like each show, but yesterday when I heard Anthony, I kept thinking he should be yodeling.
With Bo, I was afraid the mike stand would fly from his hands and could not concentrate on hissinging.
Carrie sounded ill, prior years the contestants have been ill, but still put on a good show, at least she was lively.
Connie just sounded mumbly, not as good as any previous performance, I would say his worst showing ever.
Vonzel just did not pick the right song, it was wrong in so many ways, so hard to sing.
Scott, had nice moments but nothing connecting them.
I would have to say Connie was the worst, followed by Carrie, and there is no way they will be in the bottom 3.

Did anyone notice there was no halfway home show this year? Always a ratings loser, but I was surprised.

I actually enjoyed Scott's performance last night. I love the song Dance With My Father, and I thought he did a great job with it. :-)

Milly my view of Constantine is he will be whatever people want him to be. He also wnts to be an actor. I dont see him as a musician or vocal performer, he is just a star wannabe. he doent care how he does it or what he has to do to get there.

Sing a song,
shout a song,
make goo goo eyes at the camera.

If Tiger Beat magazine were still around his goal would be to make the cover and that is about it.

Maris - I agree, he's much better suited to the stage. He's quite good at donning a new persona each week, and evidently he's got that something that make the teenage girls swoon.

If Tiger Beat were still around and Constantine were on the cover I would get a subscription. Or two.

I’ll jump in and say that I enjoyed Scott’s performance last night and you couldn’t remotely consider me a Scott fan. I do like his song choices and I love that song.

As far as Scott having problems with his father and the song choice being inappropriate for that reason, I was thinking that maybe he was thinking of his own little boy when he sang it and how he hoped he would remember “dancing” with him.

I haven’t liked the way Scott has presented himself on the show, but I felt sorry for him last night. I don’t think the other performers were significantly better and I don’t think the harsh criticism was deserved for that reason alone.

I’ll duck again and say that the only other performer I look forward to at this point is Constantine. Bo, Vonzell and Anthony just seem to come out and sing the same song week after week. Carrie would be my second choice as at least she is pleasant and does try some different stuff.

Yes, I see Constatine on a show on the WB or Fox or something...something with a teenager rebel involved.

constantine reminds me of jim morrison without the talent or the angst. and oddly enough i get that image from when morrison was on in one of those tigerbeat or some magazine in the fur coat.

I am enjoying the show, but don't really care who wins. Just don't feel very 'vested' in these people.

MUCH prettier...but I am of the opinion that they don't get much prettier than Morrison was. Hell, Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison was prettier.

Constantine isn't even in the same league. At this point, I will censor myself.

Knowing that Bo is the judges chosen one, this year, I still say that I just do not understand why. My "rocker" gene must have shriveled. His performances all seem the same. Now, Vonzell and Anthony? They have both really grown, performance-wise. I was for Carrie, from day one, but she seems to be choosing the wrong songs....
