You have to give Carrie props - she is trying to show she is versatile - not just a country girl, and I think she did well with a Pat Benetar song. I'd like to see Bo try something besides rocking for once even if it wasn't his best just to see he can do more than scream into the mic as he carries the whole stand all over stage and flops his hair around.

My top 2 last night were Vonzell and Anthony but Anwar was a close 3rd- now if he could come out and rock it.

Bottom 3 for me would be Scott (sorry was a big fan at the beginning but don't feel he is keeping up with the others), Bo & Nadia (didn't like her last night and I'd like to say Constatine but he really did nail that song last night).

If Vonzell is bottom 3 I will be so mad!

I don't like Constantine... but I absolutely loved his performance last night. I didn't want to like it... couldn't help it. ;)

Can someone tell me why Simon thinks the song Bo sang is sacred? I don't understand that.

Well AOL seems to be pushing Constantine.. the headline on my WELCOME screen today, not just under television is CONSTANTINE RULES WITH QUEEN SONG.. then tells you to click on the clip link to see why Simon said it was "astonishing".

However Bo still leads in their poll..

probably because the band has this following especially the band pre plane crash. I am pretty sure freebird was pre plane crash.

Yuck on my year's songs (right Whoami?).

Frankly I thought last night was horrible and I even fast-forwarded through some of the performances and judge's comments. I thought Scott pretty much blew the song - although he was strong on the chorus he was terrible on the verse (and I love this song and actually saw H&O in concert - standing on my chair dancing at Reunion Arena the whole time). The song Nadia sang sounded nothing like the original but I thought she did a great job with it, I thought Bo was surprisingly lackluster on Freebird, Anthony was surprisingly good, Anwar sounds good but there is no emotion (and yes, why does he keep singing women's songs? - if I came across as sexually ambivalent like he does I would probably try and boost the "masculinity" factor on my songs), Vonzelle just doesn't impress me (but I didn't notice her eyeshadow last night so now I have to go back and check the color), Constantine was surprisingly good and I thought the judges were really harsh on Carrie, who I thought was great last night (except for that dead shark's eye thing she has going on).

I think Simon called "Freebird" sacred because through the years, it gains followers who love it. It is one of my 21-yr-old DD and her friends favorite songs. She actually started listening to it among other Lyndyrd Skynryd songs when she was 15 and all the other kids were playing it where she worked. One of the guys she worked with who we always joke (and hope..lol) will be her future DH has Jimi Hendrix AND Bob Marley tatoos on each of his shoulders. These kids love classic rock and Freebird is one of the favorites. So that's why Simon called it "sacred" as far as "rock" goes. :-)

Herck.. When I was in college in the mid 70s, "Smoke Smoke Smoke that Cigarette" was covered by some rock band we listened to and I can't even remember who now.. (Oh the "fog" of college in the 70s! hehehe) but I still remember all of us singing to it.. as we puffed on our cigs(!) SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE! TELL ST. PETER AT THE GOLDEN GATE YOU JUST HATE TO MAKE HIM WAIT(!) YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE ANOTHER CIGARETTE!! LOL Hmmm.. Might have been the group (Zappa, maybe) who sang.. Don't You Eat That Yellow Snow... ROFL... gawd.. we were so young and easily amused. Kind of like I am now.. heh heh

Just wanted to agree with Seamonkey's comment on Carries walk... she was stilted going side to side, I told dd wonder why she doesnt do anything back to front?! lol, and so I also agreed with Simon!!

And believe it or not I agree with the Constatine's comments!! Which one has the band that's going to tour with AI this summer? Bo or Constatine? (see I cant seperate them! )

I'm just not getting Scott. I dont think Andrew will make it in the top 5, but I dont want Andrew to go before Scott... just me!! I certainly hope the 50 calls I made last night will make a difference, after all they only get what MILLIONS??? ROFLOL @ me!! :-)

On KTLA's morning news, the Entertainment reporter said that the director of AI also directed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody video back in the old days. Apparently the director's license plate is "BO RAP" and he used lots of the same shots he used in the original video.

Personally, I didn't think Constantine's performance was that impressive, but what do I know? IMO Vonzell and Anwar were the best last night, but that means nothing because apparently this year the audience is hearing something other than what I'm hearing.

Oh and some of Carrie's notes just hurt my ears. They were bleeding after the performance. Scott's comments were less contentious than I thought they would be after reading about them here, but his singing was worse than I thought it would be.

Anthony, Reader??

LOL! I know what you mean.. sure I put in votes.. I always get a few in right BEFORE the show ends on the west coast, and then Amazing Race starts and I punch in sporadically during commercials and by the time Judging Amy starts I've usually gotten sidetracked.

But if my favorite goes home (or so far this year, is in bottom three), I always think I haven't voted enough. But of course that is a joke. I personally could redial for the entire two hours and make very little difference.

Freebird is sacred in Alabama. The Alabama contingent had no problem with Bo singing the song but wanted to to do awful things to the band and the music director who thought violins would be a good substitute for an electric guitar.

Poor song choice because Freebird is a duet between the singer and the guitar and in this case the guitar didn't hold up its end.

Every Johnny with a guitar from Muscle Shoals to Tuscaloosa is probably right now on the road to Hollywood to show them how it is supposed to be done.

Loved Constantine last night, Freddy would be proud. Love him or hate him, Constantine's such a great performer.

I agreed with Simon, Bo's song is pretty sacred to a lot of people, you just can't mess with it like that. It's a song that can't be "rocked".

Nadia - what an awful choice of song. You'd have thought they'd know by now you get more votes for doing an ok version of a song everyone knows. You can do a great version of an unfamiliar song but it'll still be forgettable. I hope this wasn't her last performance.

It's definitely Scott's turn to go, lately I've been saying him or Anthony, but Anthony's done much better than Scott in the last two shows. I don't think Scott's little speech at the end will have won him any votes either.

Simon was born in 1959, so Freebird might have some special meaning in his life. You know there are songs that you associate with memories in your teenage years and Simon was 16 when Freebird first came out. "Your Move" by Yes and "So Far Away" by Carole King are a couple of my "sacred" songs. If you are going to sing those to me, you better do a damn good job. I'll get ticked if you screw around with them. :-)

It's funny how so many associate Lynerd Skynerd with Alabama. They are actually from Jacksonville, Florida.

Watching....Hit song "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)by Merle Travis and Tex Williams, 1947" Chorus lines: "Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette. Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death, tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait, but you've got to have another cigarette."

Every now and then you can catch a few members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers playing a jam session in St. Augustine. Just have to know where (that is the hard part) Oasis Bar is one of the favorites.
