Egbok I was an old Ozzie fan although my team (the NY mets) had a huge rivalry with the Cards way back in the late 80s. It always came down to the Cards and the Mets in September. Ozzie always got a big cheer in Shea Stadium when they got to town but he was the biggest threat to our offense. He was a class act too. I would like to see Nikko go to the final four but I think Bo may win this.

I wouldnt be surprised if some record company doesnt pick Anwar up to be the next raffi or Bobby McFarin. I could see him as a new grown up on sesame street.

Just as a general rule, I think contestants should be banned from wearing hats. I felt I had to express that.

I think Travis and Constantine had the weakest songs, but it will probably be Travis and Scott voted off.

BTW - I liked Anthony's song, but was so distracted by his fugly jacket that someone had thrown paint on. Is this a style? I know I live in the boonies and we have no fashion here, but I do watch What Not to Wear and thought that jacket was horrid!

Simon likes Anwar and certainly cannot criticize him but his praise was not about winning the competition, rather being a genuine person, nice and everthing a music teacher should be. Anwar has a career all in place even if he left this week, which he will not.

It seems Simon is pushing for Bo and cleverly praises the voters, claiming they are smart and voting for those who are skilled singers. The viewers are not stupid, he says, they know who is good. Transparent but possibly effective.

The comparisons of Clay with Anthony are becoming tiresome. He wants this kid out of there. Won't happen this week but I doubt he will survive very far past the merge.

It is time for Scott to go.

Seamonkey! I'm so glad you said that because I like Willie's version of "Georgia on my Mind" too!

And Marebear - that jacket was weird! I kept wondering if it truly was painted like that or that was the result of reflections thrown up by the lights offstage. I can't believe he chose to wear that strange jacket - it was certainly "affected."

Loved Bo and Anwar tonight and voted for them for both of them until I got tired of dialing the phone (even let me daughter waste a vote on Constantine). Unfortunately I was able to get through a disappointing amount of times. Hope that's not a bad sign.

A local radio station played Bo's performance from last night. Got to tell you it sounded awesome...better than last night!

I too must have a fuzzy memory because I thought Constantine had the better voice during the auditions. Bo clearly has the better voice.

I just wish Bo would trim and condition his hair!

One thing I like about Anwar is he always sounds like Anwar, no matter what he sings. Some of the other guys always sound to me like they're trying to imitate Stevie or Ray or Michael or whomever they are singing that week.

And I am *so* over Constantine. I had high hopes for him in the beginning, but he hasn't lived up to them. Bo is doing well, though.

Maris, I like your future take on Anwar.

*I wouldnt be surprised if some record company doesnt pick Anwar up to be the next raffi or Bobby McFarin. I could see him as a new grown up on sesame street*

My children grew up listening to Raffi, and I enjoyed singing along with him as well!

And yes!, I could see Anwar as a new grown up on Sesame Street too. I just adore this likable, humble guy and I enjoyed how you pointed out these possible scenarios.

BTW, I sure wish I lived on the eastcoast so that I could post around the same time as the rest of you here. It's pretty lonely here once I get finished watching the show on my westcoast time slot. I know, I'm a whiner but what the hey...lol!

From Zapit:

<snip>
Mario, Anwar, Bo and Nikko have set themselves far above the other men. The competition will suffer if any of those four go home, but otherwise it hardly matters. I'd be inclined to cut Travis and Constantine first, but they both seem to have powerful and somewhat inexplicable fan bases. Anthony and Scott should check their horoscopes to see if Wednesday will be an unlucky night.

I loved Raffi, we had all his CDs, Baby Beluga is still one of my all time favorite songs. Sesame Street isnt such a bad gig either. I can remember Savion Glover on Sesame street way back when.

I felt Anthony, Anwar and Nikko each had their "best yet" performances, last night.

Bo had the weakest of his three performances but is still my favorite as he has been best of show 2 out of 3 weeks.

Mario has been consistently good.

The above 5 should be the top 5 finalists unless one of the girls is a slow starter like Kimberly Locke was in season 2. Nadia or Carrie have hinted at potential but have yet to actually perform as well as the top guys. Maybe tonight.

This is going to be tough as to who WILL go. It should be Travis who Mrs Rabbit wants booted so she can capture him and lock him up in our eye-candy trophy room. Constantine should go before Scott on singing ability but charisma is as important as singing ability for a pop star.

Maris I agree that Nikko & Nadia are contenders for the F4. I found it interesting that you left out Anwar.. I almost did too. His voice is possibly the best but he is reminding me of La Toya. Like they have the pipes & the looks to win but there is some element missing, maybe too bland and predictable. He would be perfect for Sesame Street lol.

I love, love, LOVE Anwar!!! The entertainment reporter on the local news played what they termed the best clips (Nikko, Mario, and Anwar) and the worst (Anthony and Travis).

Those were my top three, too, and Bo was number four for me.

I dont think that Anwar has the diversity, he sings beautifully but within a fairly limited repetoire. I also think he doesnt have the image that would appeal to the younger teen set but he has a very sympathetic personality that would make him a huge hit with parents and very young children. I seriously think he could be another raffi. I think Simon has it exactly right, he is perfect Music teacher but he has a lot of talent that should probably be shared with a mass audience.

Anwar is looking limited but he will be called on to show more diversity so we'll see what happens. Many of the others havent shown much diversity yet either.

I suspect that Nikko & Nadia will have too limited a fan base to win. Even if they appeal to teens (and Im not sure to what extent they do) a lot of older people are also voting & buying these records if this board is any indication.

I was serious too about Anwar & Sesame Street:-) It would be a great gig. He's been one of my favorites from the beginning and every week he gets my vote (for now, lol)..

BTW I realize there are a lot of 'older' Nikko & Nadia fans on this board (as am I, esp Nikko). It is just a gut feeling I have.

i would like nikko, mario, bo and carrie to make final 4, but i'll bet one of the guys will be subsituted by anwar because he is such a hit with the judges and i'm sure he has an entire school voting like maniacs! i don't dislike anwar at all, but i agree with some who have pointed out he has a somewhat limited repertoire.

Anwar may be a surprise, but in any event, even the theme shows tend to favour slow sloppy ballads so I don't think he should have much trouble. Plus you don't even have to stick that much to the format. Heck, Fantasia won and she didn't even bother to sing any Big Band hits on Big Band night.

(I like Anwar by the way.)

I hope Nadia doesn't sing tonight with that hairstyle she was wearing last night...go back to that cool style from your original appearances girl!
