ok, now I read the thread, at least the last page. How did Bo do...didn't see him mentioned. Vonzell is now singing People, and doing it very well.

I think this is the most talented group AI has ever had.

Well, this was not Bo's best night. The competition is so tough. I also love Anthony's performance tonight.

I'm guessing Scott is a goner, just because of the crap that the net is filled with.

wow, i still don't understand the constantine dislike! i have always liked him personally--thought some songs were good and some not good--but i just don't get the intense dislike and comments about him.
i don't care for some of the contestants but i'm not going to call them names.

I am so with you tabby. That is one sexy talented guy. I love the eye thing, I love the whole package.

It takes a lot to get this old heart pumping, and by gosh, it is sooo fun. Go Constantine.

Nadia was also just spectacular. I don't know how we can choose between these people. They are all just wonderful.

Okay .... I'll admit it.

I like Constantine too. IMO he gave what was by far the most entertaining performance of the evening.

I like Carrie's singing and she certainly has the looks, but I think someone aptly used the word robotic to describe her performances.

The rest were alright (in Randy talk) though I do love Nadia's personality.

And Paula was almost coherent tonight.

Did ya'll notice that Simon seemed to kiss Paula on the cheek during the last song?

Regarding Scott, I also thought he had the weakest performance, but given what he has gone through this week, how can you blame him?

I really enjoyed Constantine (G-d help me!), Nikko (despite some pitch problems...and he looked great), and Anwar (especially, but he should try to butch it up next week a bit. Pull the braids back and wear a football jersey or something that doesn't entail an ascot) tonight. Scott and Anthony were easily the worst. Vonzell should NOT sing Streisand songs--that was abominable and I don't know who Ms. Abdul thinks she was kidding about notes Ms. Streisand can't hit that Vonzell can. Carrie was, as usual, proficient and boring boring boring. Please get a new clothing stylist and a new hair stylist.

Beaux was the same derivative persona he hauls out every week, but this time with a hideous jacket attached to it. Yawn-eriffic. Nadia uses her limited range wonderfully. She's lovely but she has no spark that I can discern. Perhaps she can become a professional clothes hanger. I don't know. I must have missed someone but I'm sure it will come to me.

Paula is like a Christmas stocking that is never empty. Just when you think she cannot give you more joy--when you think you know she's hit rock bottom--she gives you a performance like tonight that convinces you that yes indeed life is worth living! Simon looks so exasperated by her. It's the most interesting drama other than 24 on Fox, isn't it?

Carrie, Constantine, and Anwar were my favorites tonight.

Vonzell and Nikko were okay.

Bo, Scott and Anthony were terrible tonight - painful to listen to. Nadia wasn't great.

Only two people hit their last notes tonight. The rest were horrible.

Tish, NO, no butching Anwar. He is so beautiful just as he is.

I am not voting, I can't, I love all of them. I thought Scott was the worst. I didn't think Anthony was worse than, say, BO...who is nearly my favorite. Bo needs to get back on his game, get grimy and down and dirty. That's his nitch. And I like that nitch.

My favorite performance for the night was, easilly Constantine. My Funny Valentine is my all time favorite song. I get chills every time I hear it. Constantine gave me mega chills, and I just loved the eyes.

I will come out on Constantine too Favorite performance.

I also will admit that I enjoyed Nadia & thought it was her best.

Both sang better than I would have dreamed possible. Which complicates voting decisions..

I actually was impressed with Bo. It was totally not his bag and yet he sounded great IMO, even with an uninspired song choice. It proved to me that he really can sang, even if he did look out of place.

To varying degrees I was bored with everyone else. Though I generally like all of these people. Scott should go home IMHO.

Oh I remembered something else (or two).

Constantine's last note was awful in an otherwise very good performance. Vonzell had a great pair of false eyelashes on tonight.

I watched a performance of Stephen Sondheim's "Passion," a Sondheim musical I shamefully admit I have neve seen live, on PBS's "Live From Lincoln Center" the other day--taped it, in fact. Dearest Diva of them all, Miss Patti LuPone, has nothing to worry about [her performance of "I Read" was simply earth-shattering] if tonight is any indication. Neither does Audra McDonald or Michael Cerveris, her co-stars.

Constantine's mugging at the camera is quite annoying to me. And that JACKET.. oh my! It is more out of place than Nikko's hat.

I enjoyed Nadia and Anwar.

Paula is more unsettling than entertaining, but she made it through another show.

I just got through watching the show and I expected Scott to be awful from what I saw here, but while I didn't think it was his best performance, that song was damn hard and he did very well on the whole. I thought he looked great in the suit.

Constantine was just awful. I can't believe the praise he is getting from the judges. Not only did he cheese it tonight, he ham and cheesed it. He made my skin crawl. He sang off-key and it was a crappy song choice.

I actually liked Carrie better tonight when she wasn't singing a country song and I like country music, so that's just weird. It was a crappy song, but she did manage to put some emotion into it for once.

I liked Vonzell's voice, but I didn't like her performance. She tried to put sexiness into it and that wasn't a sexy song.

I think Anthony would have sounded better if he hadn't been having to oversing the crappy loud background music. But then, maybe it just showed that he didn't have a strong enough voice to carry it? I didn't like it.

Nikko was offkey for almost the whole song. I'm not even sure he was on key on the end note or if the background vocalist was carrying him. The worst performance he's had and the worst performance of the night.

I think this was Anwar's best performance so far, but it's not enough to make me think he should stay in the competition.

Well, I'm glad when Bo's eyes were closed his finger didn't come down on "I Feel Pretty"
It was a crappy song, but his performance was a million times better than Constantine's performance.

Nadia sounded really great. I think she had the best vocal performance, but she was cheesing it too much for my taste, too.

I would, as always, send Constantine home this week, but I think it's going to be curtains for Anthony or Nadia (and she doesn't deserve it)

what I thought was irritating is Constantine's cutesy pootsy poutyface that he makes constantly when mugging at the camera. I am soooo tired of that.

Maybe it's just me but I dont find him attractive at all (??!!) He seems skinny but has a little double chin I cant figure it out!

Anyways, I liked Nikko's performance and Anwar was his usual self. Carrie reminds me of someone who has been singing publicly since she was a child and has it all down to a routine...I figure that is why she seems robotic.

I am so over Nadia at this point. She is very beautiful and has tons of character but I feel this may be her last performance.
Scott's voice seemed weak in comparison to the music that was too loud for the song IMHO.

Most performances tonight were forgettable. What has "ShowTunes" got to do with POP IDOL anyways??

My theory for bottom three. Scott, Nadia, Vonzell(it didnt sound like she hit ANY of the notes to me!)

I think that Constantine's mugging is a hoot! You KNOW that half of it is tongue in cheek. I am waiting for him to actually lick the microphone.

I am still totally bummed that Carrie did not choose to sing Oklahoma! What was she thinking!

Poor Scott, it seemed to me that he was not totally ready when the song began and came in late and got flustered. I thought he did OK but believe that he has the talent to sing that song better than he did.

I also thought that maybe Bo would sing Hair or something from Godspell. I love Pippin, but he does not have a light enough touch to pull off that music.

I love One Hand One Heart and was happy that Nikko chose that one. It deserves to be sung more often and I thought he did well with it.

I am not fond of People so it colored my perception of Vonzell's performance, but no argument that the girl can sing.

I think Nadia should stick to uptempo sassy songs. I would have liked to have heard her sing the "Reciprocity" song from Chicago.

I didn't think that Anthony made a good song choice. I would have picked that song from Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, A Land of my Own. OR the Love Song from Pippin. I am starting to think that while he has a beautiful light lyrical tenor, he has no musical taste whatsoever.

Anwar was better than he has been, but I have kind of lost interest in him.

Alison, you said that we know that Constantine's mugging is tongue and cheek. Well, that is something that bothers me about him. He acts like this thing is just some big hoot and doesn't seem to really be taking it seriously. It's like it's his big joke to see how far he can get acting like a bad lounge singer. It's not entertaining to me at all. I don't get his swooning fan base at all.

Simon and Paula were unnerving last night. I have always defended them until now. Paula's praise means nothing to these kids at this point. I have always liked her ability to include a positive comment in her mild critique providing balance for Simon. Simon was incapable of seperating a musical catagory, he hates, with the performance. He was a Saturday live performance of himself. They have polarized each other. The more Paula gushes, the more strident Simon becomes.

Sunrvrose, I went back and checked my Tivo, Simon whispered to Paula. I thought it looked like a kiss when I first saw it too.

Last night Carrie reminded me of what Jon Benet Ramsey would have looked and acted like as a grown up. Am I crazy?
I loved what Nikko did, I loved what Constantine did (or maybe I just loved those songs) I also liked Vonzell, and Nadia was okay also. The rest
ehhhh
I think Scott or Bo needs to go this week

Constantine - not fond of him but did like last night's performance, but as for his sexing up the camera, frankly I'm not so sure it is tongue in cheek anymore. I mean the guy has 0 sex appeal (for me anyway) but I think he is beleiving the judges and all the signs that he is all that.

Anthony - I don't even think he belongs there, he is terrible. For him and Nikko I actually changed the channel.

Scott - I missed that performance

The girls were all pretty good.

No one's performance wowed me last night and that is largely because I am not fond of musicals and only occasionally like ballads.

Going only on style..........

Carrie: Her country/80's hair and 70's dress made her look straight out of the 50's for some unexplainable reason.

Nadia: Love her look and again she showed style in her hair and dress.

Vonzel: Her style lacks a point of view. Nice party dress, I suppose. I don't like her hair; it is dated and tired. Light iridescent shadow on her lids is making her eyes look small and not inviting.

Anwar: Fabulous look! Hair and clothes are always great.

Nikko: He dresses like blues singer 3 times his age.

I have no memory of how the other men dressed. If I have to go back to my Tivo to see means they did not wear anything notable, to me.

Eeewwww...*shuddering here* ... I'm not gonna say what my sister says Constantine looks like he is doing because it would cause this site to go from pg to nc-17 that quickly .... ewwwwwwww
