Bo is not doing it for me anymore either. I have always felt he was detached from the audience and it has become more apparent. His apathy cannot be denied. Whether it his ego not allowing him to admit he is invested in wining or a sincere indifference, it does not matter.

Carrie has the voice but lacking in style and stage presence.

I was surprized that I liked Scott last night. He has turned me off since day one. He did some damage control with Simon and was articulate with Ryan. The anecdote about his mom choosing his song was good. I still want him gone.

Vonzel has a great voice but I just don't find her compelling and I am at a loss as to why.

Anwar looked awkward on stage to me. Love his looks and voice but I can't muster much excitement.

Anthony, his fans are keeping him in. Cute kid.

I like Constantine but last night was not all that great. I have no objection his eyeliner or hair.

I am not excited about his season. The judges contribute to viewer enthusiasm and they are falling short this year. Simon is much harsher than usual. He muttered a well done to Carrie that got lost in his critique of her dress. Paula is off, as we have discussed, and Randy's genuine and smart words are being lost in the mess.

Simon is the real star/leader of this show and if he is hating all of the performances where does that leave the audience? He has lost the perspective that these kids are amatures and seems to be judging them with standards much higher than is required. This is a TV show for people begining in this field not a professional competition.

Fruit I agree with everything you said. Regarding Simon I think he is looking at these people wondering how they are ever going to make money with recording contracts.

It is interesting that in a season that started out as the one with the biggest potential for talent, they all ended up being lacklustre performers. They are really all just eh. I did think that the kid Anthony was cute last night. he made me smile.

Carrie reminds me of the singers/performers at Disney World. She would be perfect there.

Vonzell keeps getting better and better and everytime they show her interview or she performs I find myself just smiling at her - I think she may have that 'it' factor for me. She's my new #1.

Carrie's vocals still wow me and she is my close #2.
Anthony moved into my #3 I love his voice.

The others I didn't really have feelings about either way. But I can't complain tonight if my favorite goes home as we had a big thunderstorm last night and our phones were out all evening so I didn't/couldn't vote.

So I pray Vonzell and Carrie pls stay!

Some say it is about a love affair that ended and that the person will never be able to find love like that again....

I don't know, it was the 60's, I think if we have some major surgery and then listen to it while on our meds we would understand it.

The more I see him the more I am liking Anthony. I think with some "season" behind him he will really be good.

Anwar has been an disappointment for me.

Vonzell is an incredible vocalist, but I have yet to really get into her.

Constantine... blah

Carrie... eh

Bo.... ok

Scott... great voice - no stage presence

At first I thought Anwar and Carrie were the best, but they are sooooo dull. No stage presence, totally zippo. So, now, my favorite, I think are Constantine, Vonzell and Anthony as third

Well I hope that everyone who is liking Anthony is throwing him some votes cause last night his line was frighteningly empty

My money's on Anthony. He has the looks and the voice..and as he continues to lose his dorktyness he starts to shine.

Those of you askin about Tavares might recognize other songs by them better. My favorite was always "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel", which would have been a better choice, or "More Than A Woman" from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

I called Anthony's line a few times last night and was able to get in every time.

ROFL, too funny. I don't have a clue what it is about.

Macarthur park’s is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
’cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oooh, nooo! oh oh no no!!

Just popping in to say that these weekly show threads are becoming my favorite to read from start to end. I'm enjoying the great wit, humor and insights here.

I like Bo. Maybe it's the remnants of my 70's youth, but he just works for me. I'm sick of the cookie-cutter youth thing - they all look and sound alike to me - and I like the anti-pop thing that Bo has going for him. That may or may not work for Bo as an American Idol candidate, but I would rather go hear and great singer rock out in front of a great band (Rocky Athos and Lightning were my local favorites back then) than one these pop kids.

Of course I'm about half deaf from my nights in front of the huge bass speakers but it was fun while it lasted!

ROTF Maris and Tish. Roxi, I never was a Bob Seger fan, and that's who Bo reminds me of looks-wise. Just can't get into him.

STOP!!! I've had that verse "someone left the cake out in the rain" going through my head all morning...

Lexie curses Carrie for singing the worst disco song ever......

My problem with bo is that he can only sing one type of song, he does a great job but he sounds the same. That is also true of Anwar, love his face though. Nobody in this group is versatile.

It's not that they aren't versatile to me....it's that they're monotonous and not very good. Sade can only really "do" one kind of song, and she doesn't have a spectacular voice really, but she does what she does extraordinarily well.

They're just a Wonder Bread group and they seem like weak versions of things that have come before. I want pumpernickle, instead.
