Did anyone see Paula kind of stumble back into her seat after she spoke about Constantine?

It's on here now - I don't know this song Nadia did, either, but it sounds nice.

ROFLOL...I think the problem is you guys were looking at Constantine when he was singing. You just need to just listen. Personally I think he's cute!

Never heard of the song Nadia sang but I thought she was very good. Problem is she will be easily forgotten this week. Nobody will remember her performance because we don't know the song.

The show is just starting here for me. So, I looked up the link to the "top then the year you were born." Ugh! What a choice I'd have had... At the Hop-- Danny & the Juniors It’s All In the Game-- Tommy Edwards The Purple People Eater-- Sheb Wooley All I Have to Do Is Dream-- Everly Brothers Tequila-- Champs Don’t-- Elvis Presley Volare-- Domenico Modugno Sugartime-- McGuire Sisters He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands-- Laurie London The Chipmunk Song-- David Seville/The Chipmunks Good thing I can't sing! LOL, I'd have to choose the Chipmunk Song or something. Of course, that's only the top ten. Maybe there are better choices on down the list.

Scott was amazing on the chorus, did Hall and Oates proud. I love that song. Carrie really messed up her song. Not only did she get tons of words wrong and mix up verses, but she said the "love is a battlefield" part too early both times! You have to pause! Everyone from the 80's knows about the pause. But, she sounded pretty good. I was (secretly) impressed by Constantine, too. And Simon was funny, "Astonishing." Who knows what he meant by that, except Constantine seemed to know.

Whoami, do "Tequila" you wouldn't have to sing, you'd just have to do the big shoe dance. Didn't like Bo's Freebird at all.

Constantine was unbelievable. I thought that performance was just magic! My song for tonight would have been "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens. I think I could have rocked that one.

I would help you with the o-wee-moh-ways, Alisons. Anthony was ok with the Paul Young song. I heart me some Paul Young.

I'm surprised to hear myself saying this, but I didn't hate Scott. He seemed to really enjoy doing that song, and but for the low parts did it really well. Put the pressure of performing it in front of Hall and Oates, well . . . I thought he did fine. But I still hope he goes away.

Just starting out watching, but so far I have been in complete agreement with Simon regarding Nadia and Bo. Nadia's song choice was very "eh" and there was nothing to show off her voice in it. If the audience would have let Simon talk, and actually listened, *I* think they would have heard some very good advice. Simon is trying to tell Bo to use his background to his advantage in making songs his own (ie, unique). It seems like most singers in this season are just re-copying the originals-very ho hum. Maybe that's what's wrong with this season. You can have a good voice but lack the ability to hear your own tune in a song. Last year, there were several (more than several?) who were actually really good at that. This year? Bleh. I think the season started out full of promise because they have very good voices, but no one seems to have the ability to hit it out of the ballpark with me saying OMG I want that version! I must say that Bo is an awesome performer and if I had to predict, I would say Bo would win but that I bet he ends being the lowest seller of all the AI champs because I don't think his music will be worth buying (tho he may make lots of money on performances). Them's my thoughts so far......

Did Scott have a background vocal track or was he singing it to just a music track?

OK, Constantine knocked the song home and he didn't simper even once. He gets a pass from me this week.

Lol,I have to agree with you Gal. I grudgingly enjoyed both Scott and Constantine. How sad I am. Vonzelle was great too.

Even if I had liked Scott before he blew it for me tonight when he talked back to Simon....a sort of smart*ss remark. I hate when they do that. I'd never vote for him now. Geez just shut up and be humble and grateful.

No one seriously boned their set tonight - I think Anthony, Nadia and Bo might be on the hump, maybe Anwar.

Bottom three - Nadia (stop being arty and do something commercial until you are done with this competition), Scott (please stop talking), and Anwar (every time you smile you remind me of Barney the Dinosaur.)

Fantasia talked back to Simon on several occasions and it didn't hurt her.

Right now, I'm not having any problems getting through for Constantine or Bo... hopefully that's not a sign of what's coming tomorrow night... Scott needs to (finally) GO HOME!!!

I have been dialing on and off for Constantine and did not have any trouble getting through at all after the first 15 minutes. Also no trouble on anyone else except Carrie's line seems to be busy. However who knows how these phone lines are set up.
