You know there have been very few guest appearnces on the results shows this year. One of the resons it is down to 1/2 hour.
So differences with this year and others is
1) bad group songs, no medleys, just turn taking
2) not guest performers - Ai2 had Kelly, Justin, Tamyra multiple times Ai3 had Ruben, Clay, Kelly, Kim Locke, and the Australian winner. This year one appearance by Fantasia. Has everyone else escaped their contracts? I would have been interested to see a performance by Kalan after hearing so much about him.

Rvon, there is absolutely no guarantee that Bo is going to win, I'm just assuming that that is what you meant. Last night Carrie's number was busier than Bo's was.

Please everyone, vote for Bo next week. Even if you aren't really feeling him. I'll see if I can get a banner ---BO LOSE THE GLASSES---. LOL.

Can't help myself, BB is getting closer and closer.

HA!!! No wonder I love this guy, BB, Bo Bice. Now I got me two BB's that I'm hooked on.

Sun, I wouldn't worry about Carrie's number "seeming" busier last night. It all depends on your phone circuits or something strange like that. Except for the early days, I always had a hard time getting through and those people would still be eliminated. That's why people get all into conspiracy theories when one of their favs is voted off or doesn't win.

I'm pretty sure Bo is going to take this. The judges are obvious on their choice and he has a bigger fan base than Carrie from the polls I've seen.

Yeah..bring on BB! We need more gossip! LOL

IF it is going on actual votes and not some kind of sinister manipulation of tallys, and IF they were telling us the truth about there being less than 1% separating the top three, then it will all depend on where Vonzell's votes go.

It occurs to me that I am going to be in class on Tuesday night until 9pm, so if I want to see Idol I am going to have to tape it. Hmmm, what are the odds that Constantine is going to be on that show? Probably pretty low but I would hate to miss him.

I volunteer for a cat rescue (Fancy Cats Rescue Team, check out our website www.fancycats.org) and have been taking a veterinary assistant course this spring on Tuesday and Thursday nights - on the whole, it has been a lot more entertaining than Idol. The week of the finale is my final, and I probably should spend my time studying.

Gotta make this quick (boss looming) but a couple of quick observations, which of course are jmho...
1. Bo-the glasses serve what purpose? Last night, my answer to myself was "to hide red-eyes from reefer"...lol
2. ITA to any and all who thought the group song at the end was awful! For wannabe Idols, they do not harmonize well.
3. I knew as soon as I saw that Bo and Carrie had parades in their hometowns and Vonzell didn't that she was gone. Could TPTB have made it any more obvious?
I'll not watch next week, because I've jumped on the conspiracy wagon. And just do not care anymore (or any less.)
Gonna patiently wait for BB to start, cause we all know that it's not rigged at all...roflmao

It looked like most of the fans from their hometown visits were teeny boppers and women.

That song Bo sang was absolutely dreadful.

Conejo, when I read that he'd sung it the night before a capella, I thought, wow, he's stepped it up. But when I heard it last night, I thought, he could be hitting wrong notes and be off on timing and the only ones who'd know were those who were familiar with the song (which I'm not.)
lol, I thought I'd die when Bo went to the autograph signing and that lady was all atremble at the sight of him! Must not be alot that happens in Helena.

Blue, I can offer one bit of input when it comes to parades, having been part of the planning etc of parades - small towns can get them planned, permitted and running within a day or two notice, which is where Bo and Carrie had thiers. Vonzell on the otherhand - for a city as large at that, planning, permitting, crowd control, traffic re-routing, etc. this would have taken months - I think that is why she got the ride on the yacht.

When they started the group song last night, after Vonzell had been told she would go, Ryan says "We did not realize how poignant this song would be" (or something to that effect)...is he trying to say that they did not realize that someone would be eliminated last night????

Thanks, Terolyn. Like I said, I just thought it odd that she didn't get/have a parade. But you're right, Ft. Meyers is a bit bigger than Helena and what was Carrie's town? Checotah?
lol Peeper. Maybe Ryan figured with all the screw-ups with phone numbers they'd have a 3-way tie. Oh, this show provides me with some needed comic relief, and I really don't think that's E19's intention.

LOL!!

Don't all of the final 12 appear in some manner next week? I remember last year some of them were performing on the "outside stage" prior to the actual show beginning. Was that the results show? Anyway, I guess I'll tape it to see if my boy Anthony will be there!

Speaking of Anthony, I read on a board and then had to go back and look, but he appeared to be sitting in the front of the audience last night to the right of the judges (facing the stage.) He didn't spend much time back in the East now did he? Hmmmmmmmm... :-)

Sun,
I hear ya regarding your passion and wanting to ensure Bo wins. Of the *two*, I would agree with you. However, I am protesting the pronounced bias that existed throughout the season with my fingers (or lack thereof) and not voting in the finale (and probably not watching). Sorry!

Was that George Huff in the audience last night?

I honestly think Bo is the better performer and I don't think he was picked to go this far in the beginning. I think this is a case of the performer surprising the heck out of the judges (remember, they didn't even show his beginning audition). Doesn't this always seem to happen - at the start the judges seem to have their obvious choices and then as the competition goes on somebody else steps up...in the first season Kelly definitely was a dark horse (Simon has said he doesn't even remember her first audition), Clay definitely surprised the judges and I really don't think they had Fantasia picked as the winner last year (Latoya seemed to be the "golden child" through most of the competition), nor did they expect Diana to be 2nd. That is what makes this competition so interesting - it really is subjective to what the public wants. I think when American Idol was brought to the US they thought they were going to put through a "cookie cutter" like that dreadful guy who won the British version - and then all the sudden they start getting this diverse pool of talent and they are unable to manipulate the way America votes - I think they would prefer the Anthonys and the Carmens - the so-called "middle class" appeal of the pretty, talented (not not necessarily outstanding) ones. Instead they get the geeky people like Clay, the big attitude, big talent Fantasia, etc., and this year the two finalists are in NO WAY anything you would expect out of a pop contest. I think American Idol has changed a lot over the past few seasons and personally I like it a lot better. There are enough Brittanys and Beyonce's (although these people are nowhere near the talent level of those) - bring on the Fantasias and the Bos and the Carries - they are much more interesting.

I agree with what you say about the US one, Roxip, but the "dreadful" guy who won the UK competition was a gay guy with a lisp and the next winner was a girl who was over 200lb. Hardly cookie cutter.

Maybe I'm not very cultural, but to me a lot of the English performers seem really effiminate (so do a lot of English people to me). It is just an alien culture from what I'm accustomed to (okay, remember I'm a Texan!), so the fact that they picked a gay guy didn't seem that out-of-the norm to me (and I'm not dissing gay guys - just not my preference for spending my $$$). I'm a Queer Eye watching fool...lol! I wish Carson was my next-door neighbor so he could not only help me dress but crack me up with comment about the other neighbors. But I digress.

That was the only UK person I've seen.

Roxip....Carson has been picked to be one of the judges for Miss Universe on the 31st. You can bet that the host will come down and ask him his opinion on the clothes.

Kitt, I hope you take it exactly as I meant it - lighthearted and with no malice intended toward anyone.

Well, okay, I have a neighbor that I would love to shred to pieces with cutting remarks (although it would go straight over her head) but that's a whole 'nother thread!

Roxip, at the beginning of season 2, when someone asked Simon for his prediction for winner, he thought it would be either Ruben, Corey, or "the kid with the big ears".

When Fantasia auditioned, Simon told her she didn't need this competition, she was already a star.

At the beginning of this season, he said he thought Carrie or Bo would win. I don't pay as much attention to Randy or Paula's picks, so I don't know if they've been surprised by any of the top finishers, but I don't think Simon has been.

He also picked Kelly or Tamyra Gray to win AI1, and then was shocked when Gray was voted off, but he had always predicted Kelly to win.
