I watch too. I was disappointed the Opera girl didn't make it. (I love the nickname we've given her. "Rainbow Brightman". I hate when they beat a piece of info to death though. (Trach story...almost mute...etc)

The only girl I liked was the one who had a cold. I did like a lot of the guys, especially the rockers. I think Trach guy has a lot of potential. A good voice, cute boy-next-door looks, and personality. He's one of the few standouts for me, but I doubt I'd ever buy a CD of his -- just not my style.

It's just as well that Marlea went home now, because she never would have won. There are several singers out there better than she was and with more uniqueness.

crossfire, off topic, i know--but about HOUSE (which airs just after AI): The main character's contrived foibles in HOUSE turn me off. The fact that the head doc is always bristly and walks with cane--reminds me of the same brand of contrivance used to shape the main character in that show about a detective who has a 'personal space' phobia. (I am terrible with names of actors and shows, sorry). Just do not like that 'lazy' writing style. (I did see that same detective receive a SAG award the other day, to my horror.)

Finally we get to the shows without the truly bad singers - although it is strange how so many of the ones that got through ended up getting a bad case of the nerves on this show and blowing their auditions...and getting on the wrong bus? I can't believe someone can be that stupid? The girl would have still been going around with the tour group if the others hadn't talked her into calling a cab - talk about not being able to find your you know what! Crying girl Marlea - big deal. I think she just didn't want to have to work as hard - good thing she recognized it now and didn't take someone else's spot away (although I didn't think she was spectacular). Trach guy - sounds too much like Clay but doesn't have his charisma. There were some good singers in this round - hope we get to hear more of them tonight. I think the girl who sassed Simon reminds me more of Bette Midler than Barbra. She actually can sing but she may not be "American Idol" material. She is funny though - although she is trying too hard at this point.

I liked the "Trach" guy! He's one of my favs. I do think we have an awesome group of male singers this year! YAY! I also like the first girl (carrie?) Even though she was nervous and messed up, she really pulled it off! The girl who missed the bus should have been booted...she doesn't seem to be able to follow simple directions...like "Group 1 get on this bus" how hard is that? My son can figure that out! I think the girl who went home saw all the great talent and instead of waiting to be rejected, just took herself out and tried show the she's a good mother by going home to her son. She would have been gone soon anyway. Can't wait for tonight! I love love LOVE this show! and HP...MONK RULES!!!!

It's problably a good thing that Marlea left because she probably would not have made it very far anyway, she has a good voice but she has a flatness about her, no personality there. Mikalah Gordon is heading toward making a major fool of herself in my opinion,she's too over the top with this flirting with Simon.

Mikalah Gordon is an embaressment to Las Vegas. Even my hubby (whom I have to rope into watching this show) can't believe she is only 16 (although she certainly acts young). The other 16 year old girl, the blond who's mom was starting to cry about how her daughter is taking care of her, she has a great voice. But, like Jasmine last year, the pressure of the competition is an awful lot for a 16 year old. I wish they would raise the age minimum to 18. The other Vegas girl, the showgirl from the Siren's of TI, she made it through. I will miss Opera Girl, and hubby will miss Cindi Lauper girl. I also think the producers are looking for a male winner this year. And, we can remember there is going to be boys separate from girls this year in the semis to make sure the final 12 are even 6 and 6 (unlike last year). 'squeek'

Well, she just has that "bravado" that many 16 yr old girls have. I really liked the girl that lost her voice. She sounded pretty good. I can't believe she pulled a voice out of that throat! I wanted her to go through, purely because I wanted someone to defeat a Murphy's Law. There was a guy I wanted to go through, and I actually thought he sounded pretty good. He was the one who was like "I really think I'm going to go to the next round, but if I don't, it's all about pursuing my dreams, and I'll keep pursuing them outside of the show" (or something to that affect). He was the guy with the big space between his teeth. Then he didn't move on, and I was bummed. The three ROCKERS? Barely any of them deserved to move on. Groan. I really like that BIG guy, who has sort of a meat-face. One might say he is ruben-esque. In the preview for next week, I think they show him wanting to beat someone up. I actually like him. His voice is great. I, personally, am glad Rainbow Brightman is out.

Me too Eeyor!!! I wanted the guy with the GREAT attitude who was greatful for just being there to make it too! I'm guessing the judges didn't like his 'over acting'. Mikalah missed her calling, she's a great performer and should SERIOUSLY consider becoming a comedian. I was surprised ALL the 'rockers made it through. I don't know maybe I'm being biased as I didn't like their long hair. I didn't mind the guy who had the bobish hair but the other 2 with the long long hair I didn't like their hair. Alas, this competition isn't about 'hair' but singing. lol P.S. Hi Eeyor, hope you're feeling better today!

I thought the rockers were boring. Like any rocker you would see in some bar on a friday night, nothing special.

mikalah reminds me of barbra partly because her mouth is shaped like barbra's and she wore the same glossy lip stuff i remember from some of barbra's movies. her schtick could be either bette or barbra, though! i missed her last week, so only have this week's show to go by. the theater might be good for her. i did also like the guy who was humble about 'going home if that happens' and i liked two of the rockers. the one that quit his band during his try-outs and the bigger one who i think sounds something like bob seeger/travis tritt. there is a certain 'treble' in his voice.

Constantine, that rocker guy who left his band looks so much like Steve Perry from Journey.

The rockers didn't impress me either. I don't like when the contestants have 1 type of genre...i like when they can sing a variety. I also want to say that girl who says she would 'die' if she couldn't express herself through music...heck..it's not like they are going to take out her vocal cords if she doesn't make AI. She can express herself by joining the Church Choir or a community theatre...heck..she can make her own CD and send it to all the radio stations! AI is not the be all end all for making it in the business!

re zachsmom's comment, and did they need to air that clip of her saying that what four times? The editing last night sucked repeating stuff over and over, and the drama of Marlea leaving, who cares. she was singing and I said to dh that there was just something missing, very one dimensional as other posters have noted. I didn't care for the rockers or the crooner either. But the men do seem to have all the major talent this year.

I read an article a while back about how they were looking for more men this time out. Apparently they werent happy with having two women as final two and they would prefer to have a male and female. Dont ask me why it was ok to have two males as final two but not two females. Apparently more women than men watch this show and they like to see men in the final two. The men sell more.

I think that if that 16 yr old Mikhaela doesn't make it, she'd be good with Joan Rivers in anything. Not that GOOD and joan Rivers belong in a sentence together, unless it's "Good bye, Joan Rivers". Joan could recommend a plastic surgeon to Mikhaela's mom.
