Okay, thoughts.... (oh, btw, did anyone else think that was JPL in the audience when Bo was almost finishing his last song?) Anthony's first song, I was soooo bummed because it sooo did not show off his voice! I even thought I wouldn't be able to vote for him. Woohoo, did I ever think he hit a home run with his second song. Paula nailed it-he sings those ballads (in the high, powerful range, much like Anwar) like an angel. I had goosebumps. What was up with Randy? I must admit I'd never heard the song before (but I wanna buy it now! What was it?), but dang, did I ever like Anthony's version!!! Scott-liked his first song, his second song reminded me of Nikko-uck. Now I won't feel so bad not voting for him. Carrie-eh. I just don't like her songs. I think she could be "manufactured" into a popstar, but I don't see her as having a special voice. JMHO (ducking) Vonzel-darn, that woman has pipes on her but I think she has Nadia Disease-picks the wierdest songs! I want to like her, I really do. I was thinking that if it were a run off between her and Fantasia, I'd pick her. But I just can't vote for her yet. Bo-I thought the songs he chose tonight finally showed off his voice again. It's been a while. He has a unique sound to his voice and I think with the right songs, he will stand out. Nothing "pretty" about it, but again, I think he could be manufactured into a pop star. Getting through to my "chosen" only about 1/6 of the time. Gearing up to scream voter fraud tomorrow.......!

Awww Thanks Luvmom! The thing is, there was only 1 Anthony and a whole group of Backstreet Boys! Paula had a point on that! My DD has been doing dance at college and she picked a BSB song for her group to do that she choreographed. She and a friend just drove in to drop off another load of her things before she gets out of college for good for the semester next week. She sang the whole song along with Anthony dancing all the way through it! LOL Even though I hate to admit it, I think overall, Scott had a better night, I just cannot stand his attitude and I really hope that gets him booted. His cockiness is really unbecoming on him. My DD also listens to whatever he was singing and she and her friend were saying NO WAY does that come off right from a guy like him. She even voted for Anthony when she got back to school. First time she's ever voted during an AI. The thing is, Scott may have had a good night, but overall, Anthony has been more consistent than he has and he really has a lot of time for growth. Maybe since I really fear he might be going home tomorrow, he won't. I wasn't worried last week and there he was in the bottom 2, so who knows!

I'm watching Tivo recording of the show and couldn't wait to say this...Bo's first song was terrific - truly - but his second song was about a 1/2 pitch flat the entire time! Is the sound in the studio that bad that Randy couldn't possibly hear the pitch problems? Their fickle ears amaze me.

My thoughts....Carrie is the only one tonight who had TWO good performances. My brother sang The Broken Road - Carrie's second song - during the lighting of the unity candle at my wedding in February. Given that it is a group song, she did good. Her first song was the best I've ever seen from her. I always think her vocals are nearly perfect, but her performances tonight - especially the first one - were awesome. I loved when she kicked over the microphone stand. Now if we could just get Bo to do the same. Scott's second song was good, the first one hurt my ears. Anthony was okay tonight - I liked his second song the best. The first one was almost painful - he is best with ballads. Bo needs to put the damn microphone stand down and leave it the Spain alone. His first song was really really good, the second one was flat. Vonzell...fun first song but her was not on key all the time and it was kinda awkward of a performance. The second one, though, blew me away. She, too, is great on ballads. I think Scott needs to go and unless Bo puts down the flippin' microphone stand, he should, too.

Thanks everyone. Rabbit, I believe that 5704 is a vote for Bo, which is just what I wanted.

Spy - That's what bugs me about the judges. I enjoyed Bo's performances tonight, but never do the judges ever mention when he is "pitchy". They get caught up w/the "performance" and forget all about how his vocal actually is. Others, they pick off every bad note. They bug me with this every year.

I have now been trying to vote for Bo for 30 minutes, I get either a recording saying, "All circuits are busy" or I get a busy signal. ETA: Actually, I've gotten the recording all but one time, still gettin it. Seems fishy to me.

Sun - I got the same thing for Anthony. It's strange how some people say they get through so easily and others, like me, have difficulty every week.

Still just a busy signal. Does anyone know how you can tell when the voting has closed? I noticed that last week, Ryan said, "The lines will be open for AT LEAST 2 hours." That surprized me, as I thought they were open for exactly 2 hours.

<<I noticed that last week, Ryan said, "The lines will be open for AT LEAST 2 hours.">> I noticed this too. Sounds like room for fanagaling. I could hardly get through at all last night. I didnt sit by the phone for 2 hours but tried periodically and never encountered anything like it except for finales ...

Thanks again everyone for your great comments! I enjoyed reading your thoughts yet again! (and a few giggles along the way!) My neice loves Bo and tried to vote for him but kept getting the phone problems too. She got in about 50 she thinks, she lost count. A lot of folks over on the other boards are saying the same thing happend to them as well. Also, rumor has it that the voting base for Scott is huge...so he may stay around, but lets hope not. And also that some of them have voting bots that block the phone lines to keep out the real votes. So who knows where this will go. It will be interesting to see what shakes out. Again, no varification to any of this, just what I read while browsing. See ya later!

Don't know how to tell you guys this but a friend of mine has "vote for Scott" business cards and pamphlets that are being handed out in churches all over the city. The Christians were the push that won Ohio for Bush this year, they might be enough to take Scotty all the way. I am wondering which is scarier? That being said(lol)- I think he had a good week this week. Anthony is a dear but he would be perfect on Broadway.It may be his week to go. Idolworship, don't dog Simon too much for looking down as Anthony sings. He has a monitor and prefers to watch come across on tv.

I personally believe Scott will stay again this week even though his voice is the weakest. The Anti Idol movement seems to be going strong. I am going to laugh sooooooo hard if Scott actually makes it to Final Two. of course, he shouldnt win it BUT the rest have talent and are almost guaranteed recording contracts. scott needs to win this contest as I dont think there is any way he would get a contract without it. just my opinion

crossing fingers for Anthony. He is such a sweetheart. And I think he should have gotten some major props for doing the BSB song as a solo and Carrying it off. Beautiful in my opinion. I do hope he sticks around. I don't think he will win (I hope he does) but I don't think he will. But I will buy his CD when it comes out. I voted for him for the full 2 hours. I let my daughter vote for Carrie one time and my DH....well he snuck out and voted for Scott on his cell phone. No breakfast for him. blah..
