Okay, I've been reading a lot, but quiet here, but I'll put in my 2 cents. I have been watching American Idol Rewind, and Kelly Clarkson still blows me away on Season One (in fact, I liked her better on Season One show than in subsequent recordings). She was constantly surprising me, and topping herself, in vocals, in costume, in style. I watched season 2 with Clay Aiken, whom I also loved in a different way, and then quit watching until this season. Liked the first couple shows with just the women; Melinda blew me away with one of her numbers. But now although Melinda's vocals are terrific, they are "expected" and don't surprise me.

Sanjaya I couldn't stand at first....until last week with the faux hawk and the fun of it, the unexpected quality, and even the way he moved to the music in a kind of rhythm that shook his "headpiece" and almost had an Indian dance feel to it. I KNEW he would stay in. And now this week unexpected again. I have watched his performance once live and twice on tape rewind, and he really knows how to move around the stage and interact with the audience. He moves down the stairs and EXACTLY on the line "Dance with me...", reaches out to Paula. He was so smooth and relaxed in performance he quite won me over. So I am left in confusion. Vocally, I wouldn't want him to win, but showmanship....I really think he's got it, and I don't see him as conceited at all.

I agree Beth, San has talent. The way he worked in that dance with Paula was so smooth, he was like a pro. The pony hawk flip was pretty good too, lol. He has a lot of intangibles that more technically gifted contestants lack.

I was a Jordin and Blake fan at first but am now 100% Sanjaya fan. He is the most fun person in the competition. He is the one i want to see every week. Oh and i downloaded that bathwater song he sang last time. What a fun song.

That is why I have said the I look at the total package of the contestant when I decide who I like and who I vote for not just who is the best singer.

hi, i have ai on tv right now. however, i couldn't hear (and could barely see) the part after gina was told she was voted off.

who told her she had the look but not the voice? (or vice versa?). i've missed most of the last few shows. the part i'm talking about is the part where ai show "past shows".

tia (too many interruptions)

eta: why does tvch spellcheck/highlight "interruptions"? i'll go check the spelling.

When I look at the last four contestants that have left from the top 12 and see that we still have San and Haley, I have to wonder just who is voting and why. Besides those 4 contestants there were a couple from the top 24 that probably should have made the top 12. No I don't think Sanjaya or Haley have what it takes to win. But with some of the obvious <100> voting, unfortunately they could push out the few top contestants in the next couple of weeks. And if that happens, I won't watch again...not that it will bother Fox, but maybe several thousand others will do the same.

Abby, the spell check doesn't recognize plural form (also words with an apostrophe if I remember right.) It is very bizarre, lol.

I missed that part too, Abby.. doing too many things at the same time.

I'm just sad and kinda bewildered to lose Gina when Haley, Blake, Chris, Phil and Sanjaya are still there.

Sanjaya has done the opposite of growing on me with his increasing mugging and attitude.

Entertainer, cruise ship, Amusement park, church. Not Idol. This isn't Nickelodeon Idol.

Oh and why on earth did they allow Michael Buble to waste time with a joke about Antonella when they had to then cut off the end of the show, again.

Hey Beth, I have been watching that idol rewind of season one also. The thing that shocked me was that Simon did not even want Kelly Clarkson in the final 30. Randy and Paula did. That is just wow. I think that they unfortunately learned from that now and put only put through the one they want to win and then several other storylines for tv purposes.

I wish they would just put through the best 12 and really let America decide.

Fortunately Sanjaya has shined this season even though they thought he was just a storyline. And i know that many of you don't like him but there are many of us that do. I can understand the discust for VFTW or Howard Stern but please dont hate those of us that find Sanjaya refreshing and fun.

In Season One, Simon was really big on Tamayra Gray (deservedly so; she also is WONDERFUL and should have been in final 2) and Christina Christiansen (he admitted to having a crush on her). Much as Clay did in Season 2, Kelly really listened, learned, and developed during the course of the show. Ironically, until the very end I thought she was my personal hidden treasure until she so obviously broke out at the end.
One thing that is interesting is the way a really great performer can make you feel they are singing only to you. I saw it live with Clay Aiken in concert. I had a sign referring to seeing him in Hartford the night before and he actually seemed to see and acknowledge both it and me (I was in third row, center stage). The next day, in the meet n greet line, I asked him about it, and he was a little embarrassed he didn't remember at all. But he did graciously spell the long form of my name correctly when I got his autograph. The best ones make you feel special as they project to the audience, and I think Sanjaya does that naturally.

I think the Idol should have the total package too, and while I was totally impressed with how smooth Sanjaya was on the stage (especially with the dance part)..a VERY important part of the total package is being able to SING!

lol Texannie. I agree with that criterion personally but at the same time, I respect others freedom to like whoever they want for whatever reason. To the extent that Sanjaya has a legit fan base I think it is entirely appropriate that he is still there.

I also think it is fair to say that he CAN sing although clearly not as well as some.

I vote for Melinda - I think she is clearly the best singer. But I completely respect others choice to vote for less technically competent contestants.

This isn't Nickelodeon Idol....too funny Sea

Gina was not my fav but I didn't think it was her time to go.

As far as Sanjaya goes.....don't care for him and thought his sister was the better singer and should have made the show.

I voted for Phil so I was happy to see him stay last night.

I also voted for Justin, so for all of those who say he didn't deserve to be in the final 2 I have to respectfully disagree. He was an amazing entertainer in a season where the rest were basically amateurs (IMO).

Speaking of RESPECT, that was the first song that I truly noticed Kelly on...she blew that song out of the water and she blew the judges away too.

The problem with Sanjaya being there still, is that we have to listen to him still. And truth be told, I'd rather listen to my cats screeching at me cause it's dinnertime than listen to that boy sing.

I think next season, the judges will be a bit more careful about putting people thru for "entertainment value." Unless they want to change the show to "American Entertainer." Sanjaya is a lounge act. His teeny bopper fan base will grow out of their infatuation with him fast enough (short attention span theater).

But in the meantime, I'm recording my cats yelling at me, and from now on when Sanjaya is singing, I'll mute the TV and play that instead.

Sea...I have no idea why they wasted time on that joke from Buble about Antonella. Plus, I found it to be in bad taste, although maybe I didn't understand the meaning????

BiginJapan...I don't hate anyone for liking Sanjaya...heck I like Haley and many do not. It seems I have an unexplained attachment each season to one of the underdogs!

Was it just me or did Buble seem a little intoxicated? I haven't seen any interviews with him before, but is that just his style? I also thought the Antonella joke was inappropriate.

I seem to be in a minority thinking that Blake is very talented. This week's song wasn't so good, but usually he both sings well and creates an original performance. I'd prefer he dropped the beatbox thing but I think he's one of the most talented overall, it's just his talent isn't solely his voice.

Quick question: Is next week Latin week (with J-Lo as guest coach) or country week (with Martina McBride as guest coach?)

I hear it is J-Lo nextweek.

I like Blake and would love a final two of Blake and Jordin.
