Sorry, I don't know how to do quotes, So I'll just bold face it.

Azriel: I don't understand how Lindsay made it though. That is a shocker to me. She should have been gone before Amanda. Maybe Lindsay evoked some sort of cullote nostalgia among older women and got their votes.

That's an easy one, she get's through for the same reason as Constantine: looks.

One other thing, does it really matter if you're top 16 or 12 or 8. As long as the top 4 are really the top 4 who cares what order they go in.

But don't the top 12 get to go on the concert tour around the country? That means more additional exposure and experience (probably a great one) and probably some financial gains as well.

Yes, you are right, Jimmer. Saw Ryan interviewed on Fox last night, and he said precisely that. I guess, typically, the top 12 get offers that they would otherwise not have had.

Anyone want to bet on the theme next week? I am thinking (esp since Ryan mentioned it as an example that might throw someone like Bo Bice) that Big Band might be the choice.

Bat, thinking you joined in here a bit late so that is why you didn't catch this. Nikko is Ozzie Smith's (baseball player) son. Hence, the well-heeled remark. Someone also knew where he lived, which was evidently a ritzy area.

With a dad who had multi year multi million dollar contracts and those suits sure didnt come off the rack, I am betting Ozzie Junior had his own private studio in the house. This show did what it needed to for him, exposure.

Thanks. I agree, Nikko will do just fine. He has gotten exposure and an enviable postion of the guy that should have made the final 12. That will create some buzz not generated had he been eliminated earlier. Not too shabby.

Hobbs, I don't understand why it is you think Lindsey got through based on her looks, because i happen to think that she looks awful when she sings, she makes the worst facial expressions.

IMHO, she should not have gotten through anyway based on her performances.

I agree, but do you think Constantine looks good when he sings? I think there is a group of people (mostly teeny-boppers) that vote strongly for certain contestants regardless of how well they perform. It has happened every year and we always marvel at it. My pre-teen son has expressed that Lindsey is "hot". Go figure.

I may be in the minority, but I really like Mikalah (although I have no idea how to spell her name! ha!) I feel like she has read some of the things viewers have posted about her and has tried to be more subdued. I hope we see more of her fun personality in the future. She does not have the best voice of the contestants, but she has much more stage presence / star quality than some of them. For example, I think Lindsay has a great voice, but she is so boring. Anyhow...many of you may disagree, but I wanted to stick up for Mikalah!

As for Nikko...he was robbed!!!!

Mikalah and Jessica trussed ‘em up, and are still around. Aloha and Amanda let ‘em flop, and are heading home. Lesson: wear a bra, or au revoir….

Lindsey reminds me so much of Ambah (you know, Boston Rob's girlfriend from Survivor and TAR). I think Constantine make the weirdest faces when he sings. He probably thinks he looks sexy - I think it would be a lot sexier if he could actually sing!

Yep Marebear, Constantine looks like a 29 year old caught in an 9th grade mentality.

I am still trying to figure out what Constantine was thinking wearing a Guarini belly shirt - It was just so weird. A good picture of it in the wire images of the top 12 after party.

He is going for the preteen vote. He knows he doesnt stack up to the talent in the show and is going to drag this out for as long as he can to see what he can work for himself. You dont necessarily have to come in first on AI to get a record contract or a good gig.

My money is on this guy saying very soon that he would like to get into acting......

Well how bad do you really think Constantine is compared to, say, Ozzy O? Rockers do not exactly have to have pristine voices if they have the look and the band behind them rocks. I mean listen to Steven Tyler - voice wise - that is NOT what got him to the top.

Michayla does have stage presence, absolutely. She should head straight for Broadway.

Constantine is not nearly in the same league. Ozzie O had an act, one I wasnt wild about but it was a screaming act with the use of animals and other wierd stuff. Steve Tyler? He had lips and a good band.

I suspect it was a camp little joke. He and his freinds probably thought it was a hoot. Actually, I think it's pretty funny myself. A rocker wearing a Justin shirt, a little passive aggressive poke at the show and himself.

I do agree with Maris that one of his main objectives is media exposure whether he wins or not. Nothing wrong with that though, he was on TV, liked it, wants to do it again. More power to him.

<Hotlanta, astute powers of observation there, I see their er.. I mean.. your points.>

I agree honey bunny. I like Constantine and Bo too. They are a breath of fresh air and that T-shirt was a total goof.

At this point all the final 12 have gotten more exposure than all who travel this mine field. They will have opportunities that many work a lifetime and never see.
