Yeah, me too, this is a hard to comment stage. I'll make up for it in the finals.

Geeeze.. thanks for the time-chage AI! I actually stopped watching a DVD to go in my room to see it at 8pm and there was The 70s Show and then Simple Life. I didn't even see an ad that AI was coming after, so off I went to watch Alias (which WAS taping) and for some reason I flipped back to Fox during a commercial just as the first group was on stage. I really like Constantine. There was this one group of girls who I thought were really terrible - at least one or 2 of them - I think the group where the mom was in the hospital- and they put them all through, saying they didn't need an excuse since they were all going through. I know at least one or two of them sounded pretty bad to me. I know - they seemed almost bored on the stage. Eh.. who knows what they're thinking. I just wish they'd be consistent with the time of the show.

I am just catching the end of this now. God, people shock me with the fact that they could be the next AI, but can't be bothered to learn the words to one song?

Those last goofs should NOT have gone through. Why do all the slackers in life get the second chances? Those guys going through just reinforces to them that hard work ISN'T always necessary.

OK, the guy I love is the Scott guy, who was in the group of big guys, who were told the harmonic ending was a good break from the norm. Although I was disappointed that Simon made that first guy drop his son's bear, only to tell him to go home.

I'm glad the group of girls who had the sick mom in it got to go on, but Paula said they were GOOD, and I'm not sure what she was hearing, because I thought 2 of them sucked up there. The one girl I like, whose voice is gone right now is going through, so that's good.

OK, that's all I know for now, but I'll have to watch the tape and comment more later.

Watching, I really like Constantine the rocker also. He is sexy and has that bad boy hard edge to him that is appealing. I hope he goes far.

Ok...late coming in here but better late than never.

Ok, I don't remember their names but the 2 women who were paired with Elizabeth who kept forgetting her lines and then got the boot. I really don't like their attitudes, I mean ya, I get that Elizabeth forgets her lines but they were really cruel to her IMO. Reminded me of highschool antics.

The longhaired rockers, one of them was WAY over acting last night. I think he was the one who got booted too. I too like Constantine, he's ok...rocker guy with the bobbed hair as Beachcomber mentioned.

Oh ya, and how about the argument between Paula and Simon. Now was it just me or did that seem a bit staged?? First she's all mad, then producer comes over, then she freaks out, then producers says well you're still outvoted then she hugs Simon. Weird...maybe it was the editing.

I aggree with whoever said those 3 guys at the end who couldn't remember their lines who got a 2nd chance, shouldn't have. They made up a big excuse that they choose a more difficult song which is why they forgot their lines....yet they only really started singing together 2 hours before, not taking it seriously at all, laughing at how they couldn't remember their lines. This too reminded me of highschool drama class when I got stuck with the class clowns.

End of rant. (Don't get me wrong I love this show just for that!)

I thought the same thing about Elizabeth Miz...I kept wondering if maybe she had a learning disability. I liked her voice. I have absolutely no idea why they gave those last 3 guys a second chance. They sure did not take this seriously. Have a feeling the judges know exactly who they are keeping at this point, no matter how they screw up! I liked the guy with the teddy bear...I thought their group did a great job but only he got the boot. Oh well!

Lori-I'm horrible for memorizing scripts, speeches, ect....I don't think I have a learning disability just lots of nerves makes me forget. I usually pull it off by ad-libbing (sp?) but that wouldn't work as Elizabeth proved last night for singing.

I really didn't like the 2 women she was paired with though. I don't care if she forgot the whole song, they were cruel to her and that probably didn't help her either.

I had the feeling the last 3 guys were spared because there were still 3 slots to fill.

Hmmmmm you could be right Mak1. I was sort of thinking that myself.

I am glad they let the girl who's mother was in the hospital through. When we first found out she was ill I was thinking this mom is really trying to steal the lime-light from her daughter. I know I'm being jaded but just the way she was crying the night before over the O.C. set.
I was also glad they let the woman with the cold get through.

Neither of them are good enough actors for it to be staged. :-) I thought Simon's reaction was completely real -- he looked genuinely angry when Paula turned around to speak to the producer.

As for the girl who didn't learn the words, my impression was she thought she'd get through on talent and charm, based on her parting "I'm a good person" words. I probably would have reacted as the other two in her team did, since to me, it seemed like she didn't even care, and her not caring was putting them all at risk. After all, this was the second time she forgot the words -- that just isn't going to cut it on national TV. However, I was surprised when the three guys at the end got a pass for not learning the words, but perhaps they did a better job in their prior performances.

Girl With a Cold has a more interesting voice to me when she's sick than most of the other women do when they're healthy...

I agree prisoner, the girl who wouldnt learn her lines, didnt show up when she was supposed to and had this very blase attitude would have gotten me totally pissed. I probably would have behaved like the other two girls especially when she wasnt the least bit apologetic for not learning the lines and was putting it all on them that she wasn't meeting the basic obligations for the group.

I think the girl who couldn't remember the lyrics was Elizabeth. Too bad - I thought she had a good voice but if you can't remember the words to "Baby, Baby, Baby, Where did our love go?" after going over it for a day and a half you don't deserve to be there. It's not like they were asking her to learn a Shakespearean sonnet or a song in a foreign language.

I think that the judges cut Elizabeth because they know that it only gets harder as the show goes on - the contestants have to learn 2-3 songs a week and if she couldn't remember simple lyrics to one song then her possibility of learning more complex songs over the course of the show would be probably zero. I think the other girls probably tried to work with her but since they were up all night they were frustrated...and the she did't even show up for the early a.m. rehearsal.

She also tried to lie her way out of not showing up to the rehearsal. First she said they didn't tell her, then she changed her story to they told her to go somewhere else.

Just another contestant who had no idea what she was getting into.

It doesn’t bother me when people mess up – it’s a tough situation and there is a lot of pressure. So if I were judging or someone’s partner I’d be willing to give them a break if that happened.

What does bother me is when people mess up and they either don’t care or don’t recognise the problem. That was Elizabeth through and through. It’s bad enough that she couldn’t remember the lyrics but it’s worse that she just didn’t seem to care. There is a lot of pressure, this is a huge opportunity and I think the two girls who were her partners were more than justified in being upset.

Some of the contestants are very talented this year. I was pleased that the judges put through the guy who left his band to try out – I was very impressed with his singing, his attitude and his willingness to try something different.

Yes, I agree the girls can be upset about Elizabeth's lack of performance & not attending meetings but "I" just don't like the way they handled it. The way they came across were like prima-donna's. JMO
