Sorry, my head isn't working today, and that was a pretty bad run-on sentence. :-) Can't think of a better name for what I mean, though...

Nigel said they were going to do the obnoxious "Group A is [3 names; say, Phil, Blake, Melinda], Group B is [3 names; say, Jordin, Chris, Lakisha], one of these groups is the top 3, one is the bottom 3. Now, Sanjaya, please go stand with the group you think you belong with."

So Sanjaya will go stand over with the perceived "better (or safer) group", and then they'll be told they're the bottom group.

I am REALLY worried for Jordin, and to some extent Melinda.......

and yes, the producers asked for this situation putting Sanjaya through to the Top 24. I feel no sympathy for Simon's whining about him when if not for those 3 judges, Sanjaya would've never been on the show. I am starting to feel bad for Sanjaya being blamed on the show as if he's personally the one doing the voting...

Sanjaya could've stopped trying to turn everything into a joke. The hair styles, for one. The backtalk to Simon, for another. The joke about "giving them something to talk about" also. And the googly eyes to the camera? Hello? Puhleeze! He's been encouraging this. I felt sorry for him about a week ago, but no longer. He really needs to pull his head out of the sand, realize he's not AI material, and then smack his family upside their collective heads for not letting him know that he's turned into a caricature. Sanjaya has to know he can't sing (does anyone think he did a great job last night?), and anyone who's telling him he has a chance to win oughta be taken out back and tarred and feathered!

I felt sorry for Sanjay up until that whacko rubberband mohawk, then I said, this kid has to go.

I actually think it is possible that he will go tonight because voters tend to like the chicken littles, and singers who "know their place" when they start getting too cocky and start actually believing they are better than they are and start sassing the judges (constantine eg) it is sayonara.

If sanjaya is voted out tonight I hope Simon gets up invites michael Stipe on stage and they both blare out a rousing rendition of Shiny Happy People. I may just pop that CD in my player just to be ready.

I do not think that Sanjaya is coming up with his hair styles or his clothes. Come on, he's 17, you know AI has hired a stylist(sp) for these people. His "back talk" is another sign of his age. Some might find it as rude but I find it no more rude than the stuff Simon says. But, I do think it is his time to go because, imo, all the others are better singers on the stage.

Costa, I'm with you...I also defended Sanjaya on these boards a few weeks ago, but enough is enough now.

I did feel bad when I heard he got booed at the Dodgers game tho'

Actually, didn't he say he wanted a mohawk, and with all his hair, that was the only way they could do it?

And really and truly, stylists or no, all he had to do was JUST SAY NO! No, that is a stoopid hairstyle. No, I won't go out on stage looking like that. Instead, he thought it was cute and funny, and made a complete <insert your fav word here> of himself. IMNSHO!

The difference between "backtalk" by the contestants and "comments" from Simon is... the judges are there to critique the contestants. They are supposed to listen and learn, and apply what is said so that they continue on. Simon's comments may be verging on rude, but he is nothing if honest. Brutally honest, maybe. But backtalking by a contestant shows an arrogance, and ignorance, that is seriously rude. At that point, they should be listening and thanking the judges for their insight. Maybe not necessarily agreeing, but not mouthing off.

LMAO, btw... my mother called and begged me to see if I could find out who goes tonight. Um, mom? I can't find out till it airs on the east coast. I'm not a psychic. But I'll let you know the second I do. She, too, is so totally over that one person that she doesn't even want to stay up to watch.

I saw an interview with the AI stylist who said that in all his years with AI there's never been a contestent who's been so controling about his hair. Sanjaya is very definite about his hair styles.

I hate that "controlling" label. They always use it on the great divas. Streisand. Aretha. Whitney. Sanjaya.

Why can't they ever just say "they know what they want and they know how to get it"?

Tish,

Maybe because that 17 yr old cocky kid is believing his own hype.

According to Costacat's Dialidol post, Chris is above the bottom 4? I thought he was horrible last night. I couldn't understand a word he said and Simon was spot on when he said he was nasally and tinny.

On the other hand, my Jordin rocked!

Justin, I haven't read all the posts, but I'm worried if you're worried about Jordin. Simon finally heard her last night and actually said she could win this thing. Didn't she get enough votes?

I'm worried that we're way, WAY overdue for a massive shock elimination-- someone everyone assumed is safe to disappear into the night (this season's Jennifer Hudson)...

Although it appears Jordin is safe this week. :-)

If you look at dialidol carefully, they don't claim to have them in exact order, just statistically listed and there has not been anyone this season who has gone home who wasn't in the GROUP labelled in danger of going home and I think only one person (Sanjaya) who was listed as predicted safe one week and was in the bottom three. Otherwise all weeks where we have learned of bottom 2 or 3, all those were listed as in danger.

This week ONLY Phil was listed as safe.

Jordin was really good and Melinda sang on of my favorite songs. When me and my girlfriends used to run around in my jeep, we'd listen to that song a lot because it rocked so much!
