4 takes? Does that mean they don't just get the one shot at it? I always assumed if they messed up they just had to live with it, and that would be the version we saw.

WHAT?! They get multiple takes?! That just irks me for some reason. Gawd to think that some of those terrible performances we have seen in the past *cough*JohnStevens and Carmen*cough* were the best they could come up with and not a one-time fluke?! In-freaking-credible.

Kitt, it is usually live but for some reason tonight is taped. It could have been because of Nikko, we will never know. I don't think they do this every week unless they have a change this year.

Only Nikko was given other chances, not everyone. That sounds fair to me.

Hopefully, this was a one time exception, and it would be understandable and fair, as Nikko is now one of my draft choices. (Curse you wily Mario!)

They would have to tape it this time if they knew they were going to give Nikko extra chances. Couldn't be done in a live show.

Regarding the taping of tonight's show being done last night.... I read an article this morning (my short-term memory is preventing me from remembering where) regarding AI ratings this year and quoting the other producer who is not Nigel Lithgoe. He said they will tape the performance shows for the first two weeks of the Final 12 only. Meaning, this week and next week's shows. His reason is that they have too many performers to assure the "live" time constraint. After the March 22 show, all other performance night shows will be live to the East Coast, as they always have been.

Both rockers doing David Clayton-Thomas/Blood Sweat & Tears songs. Kind of amazing as Thomas had one of the all-time best voices to sing rock. I would lean towards doing one of the scores of great rock songs performed by singers with lousy voices. I can't imagine Constantine stacking up well in a comparison with those of us who have heard the original B.S.T. version. We shall see.

Hopefully Lindsey will knock it out of the ball park with this song selection. So we have no clue what Jessica's breasts are going to sing tonight????

Hmmmmm Well my theory was that Mario had a previous depression problem and the stress/ loss of control of his life was causing a relapse. My NEW theory is that it was all a big publicity stunt. He did it for recognition. ((just an idea!))

From an AP / Yahoo News article about Mario with comments from Exec. Producer Ken Warwick: "My gut and intuition told me it wasn't time to do this," Vazquez said. "I had to focus on some personal areas in my life with the little bit of privacy that I have." He declined to comment on whether he was unhappy with the "American Idol" contract he and the other contestants signed two weeks ago and which industry observers have called restrictive. Warwick said it's his understanding that the performers are contractually bound for three months after the finale airs under their deal with 19 Television, which co-produces the show with Fremantle Media.

Mario on David Letterman "REASONS I QUIT AMERICAN IDOL" 10. Well, for starters I was really, really drunk. 9. I've got my eye on the ultimate prize - Belgium Idol. 8. Yeah, my career's over but I just saved a bundle on my car insurance. 7. After seeing Michael Jackson, maybe I don't want to be a pop star. 6. Ryan Seacrest is all hands. 5. I started liking when Ryan Seacrest was all hands. 4. Screw it...I'm quitting this too and he walked off

LOL I thought that was pretty funny and also really brave with all the rumors of him being gay going around and doing those Ryan jokes. Good for him!

As first reported exclusively by Perez Hilton on NYC's Z100 morning radio show, the Z Morning Zoo.) It took us a little longer than we would have liked, but we think we have finally gotten to the bottom of why the odds-on favorite, Mario Vasquez, dropped out of American Idol. And, sad for us but good for all of the sexy hetero gals that read PageSixSixSix.com, there is no gay scandal to report. As late as yesterday morning, Vasquez said on his appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly that he left for personal reasons and that he had fallen out of love with Idol. Excuse us while we wipe our ass with that! Some have speculated that Mario left Idol because he didn't want to be tied down to the very restrictive contract that the twelve finalists have to sign, basically giving their lives away. And, that theory is correct - partly. Mario didn't just leave Idol blindly, hoping for the best in the future. This self-described 'ghetto boy' is smarter than that! Vasquez left Idol because he has already been offered a very enticing record contract by none other than P. DIDDY! A source that has worked with Puffy told PageSixSixSix.com exclusively, "He [Diddy] has offered Vasquez a deal." Diddy does know how to spot talent! Adds our source, "Diddy is a Scorpio and is very true to his sign, very sneaky and quiet. His record label [Bad Boy] is in the shambles. His top executives quit his label, and he does not have the hits." Spotlight on Vasquez: Justin Timberlake in the making and potential savior of Bad Boy Records. Only time will tell. pagesixsixsix.com

There you go. They are going to have to close that loophole for next year. I am happy for Vasquez but I think it stinks for us the viewers that people can just walk off after they get their face in front of the camera and walk away. Next year we will see more people signing up for AI with no intention of riding it through to the end.

such confusing news articles..... Bx. singer must 'Idol' after snub BY RICHARD HUFF DAILY NEWS TV EDITOR If ex-"American Idol" contestant Mario Vasquez is holding out for a record deal, he'll have to wait until at least August to start work, according to the show's producers. That's because two weeks ago, Vasquez and all the other "Idol" contestants signed a contract prohibiting them from recording any albums until three months after the show's finale in late May. Vasquez, of the Bronx, rocked the producers Friday when he told them he was walking away from the Fox-TV talent contest for "personal reasons." He disclosed those reasons to the producers, who declined to reveal them to reporters yesterday, citing Vasquez's request for privacy. "With fans, I know they might be disappointed," Vasquez said on "Access Hollywood" last night. "But I just hope they can respect the fact and, just ... the little bit of privacy that I have, I'd like to keep it. And I hope that can appease their questions about why." Vasquez has denied that health or a skeleton in his closet was behind his decision to quit despite his status as a favorite to win among the 12 remaining contestants. The producers said they were "shocked" by Vasquez's decision. But once they heard his reasons, they understood. Vasquez's exit sent producers scrambling to fill the gap left in the contest. To replace Vasquez, they called previously expelled contestant Nikko Smith at 2:30a.m. and invited him back on the show. "God works in mysterious ways," Smith told them then. "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest spoke about the show's latest "real-life drama" on last night's telecast. "Unfortunately, late Friday night, Mario Vasquez withdrew for personal reasons. So we all wish him the best," Seacrest said. Vasquez made light of the mystery in an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" on CBS. He did a Top 10 list of reasons he left "Idol" - and stopped at No.4, saying, "I'm quitting this, too."

thought this quote from realityblurred was rather funny..... Meanwhile, since Mario's personal issue was so overwhelming and all-consuming, and since his privacy is so very, very important to him, he showed up on David Letterman last night, where he delivered the Top Ten List.
