Thanks, Hotlantan. Sigh. The difficult burden I must carry, holding down the bottom spot . . .

I agree, Maris. And I am fine with Nikkko going as well. Scott just should have gone first. He is next.

Maris, the bigger question is who the heck is voting for Anthony??

Did y'all know that Nadia has a five year old daughter? I just heard that.

I cannot believe that you guys did not comment on the "Deer in the headlights and YOU are the deer" lighting that they were using on Fantasia - shades of last year where they blinded us every week. Do you think it is a Fantasia thing?? I really enjoyed her performance, though.

I was totally shocked by Nikko going, though his singout was BAD.

I think I vaguely remember Nadia commenting about her daughter, but I didn't remember the age.

I am not in the game, but I definitely would NOT have gotten the bottom three right. I never would have thought Vonzell would be in there, though I might have guessed one or both of the other two. I definitely thought that Scott and Anthony would be in the bottom.

Alisons, I agree about the lights. You'd think such a highly rated show could have better lighting people and better sound people. Last night, I barely heard any of the singers over the band.

So, Fantasia and Paula both totally sold the show out tonight by telling them you dont need to win, you'll get a contract anyways. <QT> I noticed Simon tried to do damage control when Paula said that. What would be the draw if we all just watched 12 people sing who will all get a contract? The drama and draw of the show is "who will win!" Not who will get the most lucrative deal by staying in.

My dvr cuts the end off every week. I was SO waiting to see if Scott went to hug Nadia or something because they are rumored to be a couple. Anyone catch anything good?

I was glad to see Nikko go - didn't care for his style I guess - now if BO or Constatine would follow suit I'd be so HAPPY

I guess now we can call Nikko the "Don't Come Back Kid".

Can I say what actually DOES irritate me about Constantine? When they tell him he's safe, he places his hands in a prayer position and gestures to the crowd and mouths "thank you." It's the most revolting rip-off crap possible...like Bono if he were despicable.



I thought it was just me that that annoyed! And Nadia has started doing it as well.

I don't think they lighted Fantasia that way on purpose - it seemed to me that they were trying to fix the glare and kept switching to close-ups of Fantasia and then they would do the shot again from a distance and the light still was glaring - they finally closed the screen behind her and eliminated the problem.

It was very distracting, and so was the sound from Tuesday's show - the orchestra really drowned out the singers.

I really don't get the notion of sympathy votes. I thought this competition was about the best person winning - not voting for somebody who isn't good enough but we really think he is cute and sweet and awww, let's give him a vote. Sorry if I offended anyone - I don't mean to - but I just don't get that. I think Anthony is very sweet and very cute but I don't think he is American Idol material.

What is the big attraction to Scott? He has a terrible, pitchy voice and zero personality or charm.. Was there some tragic back story on this guy that I missed during auditions?

I've personally never cared for Fantasia, that's just my opinion. Having been given a platform to dispense advice to the current group, I thought she might give them something worthwhile and yet she offers a 'Fantasiaism'? How profound!

I have no clue why people are voting for Scott. But at least he is getting into the bottom three. hopefully next week is the charm

Few people are actually voting for the person they think is the best technical singer. Most vote for the person that either entertains them the most and/or that makes them feel the most. Anthony is going to get votes because he is a nice guy that has a compelling life story (that he wisely shared from the start) and he's got that vulnerable manner so people think it would hurt him to be voted off. It doesn't move me to vote for him, but I am not a bit surprised he gets lots of votes each week. For the show's point of view they could switch it up and have people vote for who they wanted to leave every week (instead of who they want to stay) and I think they would get different results almost every week. But they're banking that the people who take the time to call for someone will also throw down the bucks for their CD, and that is what they are out to encourage. Like most things, it's all about the bucks!

..of the remaining contestants, are there any that didn't get a special little "feature-ette" during the audition shows?

I really don't remember seeing Bo during the audition shows, except as "one of the rockers." To this point I really don't know much about him except that he is from Alabama and has sung in a rock band for a while. It is obvious that he has an extended family that he cares a great deal for.

I usually vote for a combination - someone who has real singing talent, a charisma that appeals to me and who seems comfortable on stage. I've really not had a problem with any of the final two in any season, so hopefully in the next weeks it will whittle down to the truly talented people.

The best season still has to be when the final 3 were Ruben, Clay and Kimberly. Definitely the most talented final 3, IMO.

I think people have thier favorites from the beginning and no matter how good/bad they do they continue to vote for them as they have become a fan.

I was an Amanda fan her personality was so sincere and sweet - I liked her but I also didn't vote for her because I was able to admit that she didn't have the vocals the other girls did.

But I also think people view talent differently. Too me Bo doesn't haven't alot of talent (he can yell into a mic while dancing with it) but.... too the next person that is what they like to hear, and the same with Anwar - amazing vocals but not a lot of personality but for some people that is thier type of music.


I used to thinking voting for the person you wanted to leave was a better method but then I thought about how people would pick the stronger competitors to target to get thier person through longer and I now believe that would make things worse and we'd end up with the average singer/performer winning.

I must agree Roxip, and I'm getting a little tired of hearing Simon/Paula/Randy each season say that "this" is the most talented group ever.

I agree Roxip that was my best final 3 although we didn't watch the last AI when Fantasia won. Part of it was the drama from the previous season regarding Simon not wanting Clay to win it and then in part was the talent just didn't compare with the year before.

I still think Clay should have won - I know some people can't let go! :-)

My only reasoning for Scott still being there is that he is a cleveland boy. We tend to get behind our local "heroes." We have alot of spirit when it comes to sports teams and things like this. I could see the whole dang city voting for him just because he is a hometown boy.

When the camera pans the audience, you will notice that Anthony has a huge pre-teen following. They all have cell phones and probably sit for 2 hours redialing as their newly surging hormones tell them he is attainable.


>>>Jhonise, Has Scott been drinking from Paula's cup?<<<<

That is funny! He really should not talk.

Kellyrippa Scott said, in his first audition, that his father did not think he would amount to much or something to that effect. After he sang, Simon asked if his dad had heard him sing; he answered, no.

Huge sympathy voting going on here. I have always thought he was 4th from the bottom, so it was just a matter of time. Hopefully, it has come and we will see him out next week.

Sassy, Clay DID win IMO. Hasn't he sold the most & he isn't bound to AI like he would have been if he had been "the" winner of season 2.
