Does anyone else think that Phil might still be with us if they hadn't done their "charitable" thing last week? I loved Bon Jovi's performance. We fast forwarded through that one dude.. He was scary.. Thicke? LOL I put in votes for melinda, phil and Lakisha tuesday night. First time I voted. LOL

Hated to see Phil go, and hope he's able to turn this exposure into something. Do not like Blake at all, so I'd hoped for a Chris/Blake sendoff. Although I'm not much of a rocker anymore, I loved seeing and hearing Bon Jovi. I used to consider him/them "pop rock", therefore beneath me (lol) but I loved me some Richie. Until the Denise Richards thing. Co-workers actually like Robin Thicke's music - not my taste. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't need to be asked to touch myself when I think of him. Whuh? The only touching I'll be doing is plugging my fingers into my ears. thanks for the vent

Saxywildcat, I really don't think it would have mattered, for some odd reason Phil just didn't appeal to the majority, he had been in the bottom quite a few times, i don't know what people are looking for, Phil had a great voice and personality, this is supposed to be a singing competition not a beauty pagent or whatever. I voted for 4 straight hours for phil Tuesday night and only got about 5 busy signals, i knew he was in trouble.

I loved the way Bon Jovi sang that song. It's like it was on the edge, you were just waiting for it to kick up a notch. Very beautiful song.

Sorry for anyone I confused in my post about Bon Jovi & Eddie Van Halen. I should have explained what I was posting about, but the show was running out, I was bummed about Phil and rushing to decide if I wanted to watch or tape Lost v Medium lol. So I was rushing posts and been here so long sometimes I forget folks don't know what I'm thinking hehehe Before I really was familiar with Bon Jovi I saw them jam together, I think it was some awards show. Mind you this was decades ago literally. I got it in my head they were a band and I kept being confused when I would see one without the other. This esp meshed in my mind since the band names have a similar type sound (Bon Jovi, Van Halen). So I always say it looks weird to me when I see Bon Jovi w/out Eddie. But in hindesite I definately can see why no one here would have a clue WTF I was talking bout sorry lolol. Never said Lurkland was a sane place to visit hehe. So that's what I was referring to. My bad...but I think I will forever have them meshed from that, although I am at least now clear on who is who and their history etc. Plus I came to like Bon Jovi a lot more lol. And Ladybug I think the problem with Phil was the first few weeks he really didn't have much stage presence and I remember posting for a good few weeks (bet if you look back they are there lol), that he sounded SOOO amazingly good when working with the guest stars, but wasn't quite as good on the live show, although I personally always enjoyed his voice. I'm not sure if it was overcoming nerves, or working to improve or whatever, but I don't think he really showed his stuff until country week, and he's been on fire since IMHO. Much as I came to like him, I'm still not sure if I went to hear him since a concert what type of music he would sing or in what style. But I really wanted the exit you did too. But we seem to like/dislike the same folks musically (you can also refer to my not enjoying Robin Thicke at all). I enjoyed Phil more lol!

Funny, but count me as one NOT in Phil's camp. And I seem to be a minority. I did not like him, did not like his singing (although he did sound better doing country than anything else). And I personally thought he was cocky (as in he thought he would win). Ditto with Chris. Didn't like his singing, didn't think he was cute, and also thought he thought he'd win. I think Chris thought he had it in the bag cause Paula always gushed all over him (which really grossed me out, truthfully). So I'm glad those two guys are gone. I wasn't impressed with either of them. So Blake and the Girlz. Should be interesting! Anyone think there's even a remote chance that F2 will be all fem?

I think Phil just came across as too old for the younger voters. Whoever told him to wear hats did him a disservice because it didnt hide the baldness which is what I think the intent was. As good as his voice was he just never came across as an entertainer.

I think I like Sanjaya better than Robin Thicke -was that his name? I had never heard nor seen him before. Why was he on there? Is he famous? I was flipping channels for the million commercial breaks and came back to him singing. It was beyond horrid! I had no idea who he was, but he was making my ears bleed. I bet Simon would have had a few words for him. I'm in agreement that Bon Jovi is Smokin' Hot!!! I'm thrilled he has another CD coming out - I can't wait to get it. When is the finale?

Yes, he's Alan's son and his mother is Gloria Loring, who was an actress on one of the soaps. She was(is?) also a singer, and had one really famous hit, I think a duet..."Somewhere, out there, beneath the pale moon sky. Someone's thinking of me..." If I remember right, it was the theme to 'An American Tail'.

I really did not like Phil's hat look ... thought he was trying to look too hip...which he couldn't pull off...but once he dropped the hats, I began to really like him...I thought he was great during Country Week and Rock week...I don't know, I think he should have gone many weeks ago, but if he had consistently performed like the past two weeks he deserved to stay longer. But is is hard to say who I would have felt "should" have gone before him...

I hope that Phil gets a chance at a contract. Maybe he'll get lucky like Josh Gracin and get a country contract. Then we can bring him to my town for our Country Roundup. He'd come here, we're only 45 minutes away from where he went to HS in Wichita. LOL

I was bummed to see HAT GUY go! He and Jordin are my faves. Now that Lakisha is dressing more suitably stylishly I am rooting for her bigtime. Melinda always has that fake Stepford Wife Smile thing going against her IMHO. I want a Jordin/Lakisha finale, since I can't have my Jordin/Phil finale.

RE: Robin Thicke. Yep, he's Alan Thicke's and Gloria Loring's son. I saw him on an interview with George Stroumboulopoulos. Thicke was a weird combination of Justin Timberlake "smooth" and Kevin Federline "icky". He just creeped me out. And Gloria Loring is best know for singing the theme to "The Facts of Life" and "Friends and Lovers" (a song from "Days of our Lives"). I watch way too much television. . .

I missed the show last night and I heard on the radio that two people were voted off last night? Why did they have a double vote off?

This is the first season i am questioning the votes...i think that the in charge people think they are so big they can rig it now and get away with it...I was a little suspicious with Lakisha beating out Sanjaya. But ok they both had a bad week...but then Phil had two great weeks in a row and was booted...that smells to me..

I'm not sure I'm in the right thread or not, but I wanted to chime in with a few things. I broke my leg jumping for joy when Sanjaya was eliminated (j/k), but I did see him all over the talk show circuit, he seems to have taken that web site in stride, which is a good thing. Also, Jordon really surprised me last week, she did so well, more than I thought she could, Lakisha equally went beyond what I thought; I'm glad they are still there. Initially I wanted Melinda to win, she's been consistent in her singing to me, which has been outstanding, but now I see the other contestants, Jordan and Lakisha in particular, more competition for her. I'm glad actually that it's come down to not actually knowing who was going to win, I'm not really sure right now who it might be. Crossing my fingers for Melinda, but it won't be a bad thing if Jordon or Lakisha win.

Big I am not sure about that. I was pretty sure that Phil might be going along with Chris. It has to do with not the voice but the style. I think that the stylists mess with the idols. The ones they want to win, they put their all into helping them with their look. The ones they dont want to win they just let them hang out there to dry. Whoever told Phil it was ok to wear those hats did not have his best interests at heart. The mass of people voting are generally younger and Phil just had an old look. You arent going to get young people voting for a guy with two kids wearing dorky hats, who dresses like your brother. It was his look that cost him. I also think that someone like Phil will do very well out on his own and will probably get a deal with Clive Davis. I think all the people that are left will get a contract and it may be better not to win than to win.

ok first off...people who break their leg jumping for joy when someone gets voted of deserve it....second who do you think the judges want to win this year...they usually get what they want....i think kelly was the only year they did not get what they wanted and that was kinda a victory for the people...

They didn't want Taylor to win, either. They wanted Chris, so they gave him the big wallet chains.

gosh...It has been said many times before...but I just don't know about Melinda being American Idol. She is a wonderful singer. But an idol needs a whole lot more than that. I really think she is missing the uumph and the confidence that I think an idol, any idol, should have...

I agree, bonbonlover. If I wanted to buy a cd of a great singer belting out ballads there are a lot out there to choose from. Melinda has a great voice, but I don't see anything that sets her apart from what's already available. (JMO as a consumer.)

I think it's possible that Jordin will sneak up and give Melinda a run for her money. She's young, bubbly (sp) and she can sing! Really, of those left, there's no telling what could happen.
