Ooops...Maris I thought it was YOU who asked the question about who was once married to Tavares. I just took another look, and was Lexie_Girl. I could use a smiley with a dunce cap right about here! lol (And, Lexie-Girl, see my earlier post).

I loved Carrie's voice tonight but I have a different Charlene in mind. Since this began I have been trying to think of who she reminds me of and when Maris said Charlene a light went off. She reminds me of Charlene Darlin in the "The Andy Griffin Show". I love Carrie but she has got to get "cityfied"! Who in the h-e- double hockey sticks helped her pick out that dress and told her she looked good in it!!!

I like Carrie. Constantine was entertaining as usual. Bo redeemed himself with a great performance, but do his fans still care enough to vote hard for him after his indifference last week?

The others were okay but nothing special.

Carrie made me want to get out my Donna Summer albums!!!! She is amazing, she was great. She is so pretty and has such a great smile.

If she doesn't win I expect her to become a big star anyway!

Bo was the best to me tonight. I thought it was very strange for Carrie to sing a song that she didn't have a clue what it was about, but I thought you could tell that from her performance. I have liked Anwar, but not tonight ... sigh ...

did not like anthony and thought anwar was flat (what has somehow turned into being called "pitchy" these days!) throughout the entire number.

as for carrie's selection, no one ever had a complete clue what that song was about, but i always liked it. i liked the old version better than the disco one. the late actor, richard harris, of 'a man called horse', sang it in the 60's.

I was in class until 9pm and didn't get home until ~9:15pm and quickly DVR'd through and started voting, and only now have had a chance to really watch. My thoughts:

Constantine - I am a huge Constantine fan but I was really distracted by the eyeliner/whatever the first time I watched this performance. I kept trying to figure out what was different because at first I could not figure it out. I watched him maybe about three times before I ever got to pay attention to the vocals.

Carrie - She is a beautiful girl and really has a vocal gift. However, she is starting to get on my nerves because 1. all that sweet disingenuousness is just too much 2. she seems to not see it as a problem that she has absolutely no connection to what she is singing.

Scott - I think he did really well and seemed very human when he was talking about his mom.

Anthony - He sings beautifully but he seems to have a hard time standing out in this crowd.

Vonzell - Every week when I watch her I think, "Oh, this is really her type of music" - and then I realize that she has incredible talent to make me think that EVERY week. She is the anti-Carrie because she seems to "get" everything she sings.

Anwar - He had his groove on tonight, that whole song/style seemed to fit really well on him. For once, his dancing/movement during the performance seemed very natural and relaxed. Good for him!

Bo - I thought that he sounded great and did not seem to be as awkward on stage as he has seemed the past few weeks. The only thing with Bo is that there only seems to be one type of song that he can do well. I guess in the recording world that is not a big deal because everyone has their style, but for this competition I think it is odd that the judges are not calling him on that point.

I have NO idea who will go tomorrow. I think they all deserve to stay. Maybe instead of getting rid of someone, they can bring Nadia back!!

I loved the show tonight!

For the first time, I decided to call in a vote. I dialed 1-866-4367 but kept getting a recording that said, "You must dial a 1 or 0 AGIN 0196."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Constantine's eyeliner was awful and his highlights looked like vermicelli sprouting from his scalp. What a terrible terrible look and a not particularly interesting performance.

Carrie I think needs to stay away from electric rollers and find dresses that are somehow flattering. Those false eyelashes made me think Star Jones-Reynolds wears relatively sedate ones, and she doesn't. That's how outlandish Carrie's were.

Anthony was cute. Anwar too. Beaux? Not so much. Does he do the same song every week with the same microphone gestures? I can't tell because I prefer not to watch him very closely, but I think so.

I have to re-watch Vonzell's performance. I involuntarily recoil in horror every time somebody tries to sing a Chaka song.

This is my problem with Bo. American Idol as we have heard over and over again from the judges every year is a SINGING competition. Did I like his performance? Yes. I like that kind of song and that kind of performance and I do mean performance since it was so much more that than actual singing talent. When I listen to a rock band, I don't really care if the lead singer has a fabulous voice because it's the whole package that makes you feel good and want to either sing along (yell at times!) or dance along, etc. I just don't get if you consider voice alone, how his performance tonight was all that great.

I think Anwar and either Carrie or Vonzell might be in trouble this week. Anwar because of his performance, even though I really like him, and Carrie, because while she has a fantastic voice, she doesn't have the "performance quality" other than voice. Hope that makes sense. I also had far too easy of a time getting through to vote for Vonzell, which worries me.

BTW, allow me to quote myself because I finally made a prognostication in the spoilers thread that came true: "LOL. WIll [Carrie] be able to sing [MacArthur Park] with a straight face? What weird lyrics. What am I thinking? She worries about NOTES, not lyrics!"

Poor Carrie didn't know what the song was about! Did it matter to our blonde with the hot rollers and the false eyelashes? Not a bit! Why bother to understand a song, after all. That never did anything for singers, did it?

Tish, at first it did not bother me about Carrie because I thought it was a combination of a lack of sophistication and nerves. But to hear her week after week have no real concern (and even state flat out that she only cares about the notes) makes me think that she will never be anything more than a beauty pageant contestant (and that is probably not fair to Diana DeGarmo who at least could appreciate the band she was singing with.)

I thought the show was ok tonight.

Scott, I liked his song, his personality bugs me
Carre, I love her, beautiful, and one of the 3 best voices in the competition
Constantine, he is really growing on me, also one of the 3 best voices.
Anwar, also one of3 best voices, I just like the feeling he gives me.
Bo, I am getting over him, I think it was his comment last week about not caring. If he doesn't why should I, and I am tired of him doing the same actions with the mike stand.
Vonzell, Can you say Kareoke, I really , really liked her at first but she just seems to be memicking now.
Anthony, thought he did a good job, I like his voice, just can't figure out if he is a dork or thinks it is funny acting like a dork.

Okay, I have to say, I just don't get what all the excitement is about Bo. I think he cannot compare to the rest of the people on the show. Even Scott has a better voice than Bo does. He is totally one-dimensional, and I like rockers, I am a rock fan, but I just don't get it. What are the three of them so hot about with him?
