I turned it off when they were doing the recaps last night. Am I reading this right - they put the Crying Girl on stage?

Well instead of posting I will just agree with everything that Jimmer said in 8:30 pm post. I totally agree with it all

Please Please Please tell me that I didn't just read elimination spoilers.. it's my own fault if I did. I will just have to not read after the voting results come in. No biggie..but I didn't realize voting spoilers get posted here until the show tonight. Or are these "guesses" by some web site?

Loved the show. I thought everyone sang well. I really like Stephanie, but she sounded kind of weak. Dusty Springfield could really belt out that song. Chris S. was more worried about falling over someones feet as he walked thru the crowd. I liked Jordin tonight. That song was from Smokey Joes Cafe. I couldn't believe that Peter even made Sanjaya better that he usually is. Peter and Lulu are great coaches. Peter Noone does about 200 concerts a year. If you ever get the chance, go see his stage show. He is the funniest guy, and he can still sing just like in the 60s. He is great, and really enjoys his fans. Peternoone.com

Cindy - It's just from a website called, "dialidol.com". Don't worry, I based my guesses in the game last week on their order and I crashed and burned! Only one was right.

Cindy, dialidol is just trying to predict, but they honestly state that any one of more than half (this week) could go home and the week Antonella went home they had her listed as safe. AI guards the actual results until they are announced (or if someone is tall like Brandon, he says he easily could read Ryan's card, so he knew he was going home well before Ryan actually announced it.) I missed the end, maybe just not paying enough attention, so I didn't see crying girl on stage, or I blanked her out.

DialIdol predicts based on how often a call goes thru to a specific singers phone number. It's not statistically accurate; it's really just SWAG'ing. Sanjaya still needs to go. But if either Chris goes tonight, I won't cry. I'd hate to see Jordin go, and I think Haley should stay another week or so. Actually, except for Blake, all the rest of the guys could go next 1-2-3-4-5... and I wouldn't miss 'em.

Oh yeah. Crying girl. Jeez louise. No wonder Sanjaya is still there. Parents, why would you ever allow your pre-pubescent child to vote on this contest? THAT is why Sanjaya is still there. Puh-leeze! And that was pure and simply cheese at it's worst. Did they really need to continually show a closeup of that girl?

I thought it was a great show. Crying girl only made it better. The expression of her friend at the end was very funny. I don't think I've had as much fun watching an Idol show since Season 2.

I was really impressed by Lulu. She really helped the contestants and knew what she was talking about. She certainly helped Haley.

I thought the show was really fun to watch last night too! I enjoyed Sanjaya! Good for him! He was entertaining, probably secured his way out of the bottom three and seemed to have fun! I do think he should go though. He clearly has the worst singing voice of this competition. I think he has a good voice, just not of the calibur of most of these other singers in this competition. The song he sang doesn't have a lot of musical quality to it. I like the song, but there isn't a lot of vocal range in it. I think many people, especially guys, could probably sing that song pretty well...just be loud. You can get away with some shouting in that song. I agree with Jimmer...crying girl made it better and I thought her friend was funny. I just hope that we're not going to see a lot of fake crying by young girls now who are trying to get seen by the camera. Wow, what a look by Simon when Peter said it is not a singing competition! I wish Simon had said something positive about Sanjaya along with an honest critique of his singing. He could have said great energy BUT... I don't understand why Phil is so high in the dial idol results. I feel he and Sanjaya are clearly the worst singers there! Followed by Chris R. I just don't see him as good. I don't get the judges re: Chris R. I thought Lakisha, Jordin, and Melinda all sounded really great! I do think L and M weren't as great overall as most of their prior performances. Blake and Chris S sang well, Blake performed well. Steph did a good job, Haley did her best ever, imo. I think Phil is out of his league. The guy just cannot sing like most of the others. I liked Gina, I thought she sang well and performed well too...but I think she has been better...I think she IS better than what we saw last night. Howie Mandel is on Regis and Kelly and predicted Sanjaya will win. ABC and NBC had segments on Sanjaya on the morning shows today. He certainly is getting a lot of press. I am happy for him, but I think this must be very discouraging for the judges.

Maybe parents are letting their kids vote because they are buying their own cds. Heck most of the kids I know who watch Idol are probably more invested in the show and who wins than I am because they will be buying the cd's of their favorites and I can't say the same for myself.

I just have to say, "BLAKE WAS AWESOME LAST NIGHT AND I WOULD BUY THE SINGLE FOR THAT SONG HE SANG!!" Still love Lakisha and Melinda but I just love Blakes uniqueness, it's refreshing.

I guess I'm the only one that just didn't get Blake. I like him, don't get me wrong, and I predict he will be the last man standing, but I thought he butchered that song. To me, there were several parts of the song he seemed to have a very difficult time singing. I guess I just prefer the original...I think this song still translates well, and I suppose I just don't see the need to update it. I was not in love with Blake's version at all.

I also enjoyed last night's show. Peter and LuLu were wonderful! My favorites were Blake and Jordin. Blake had the most incrediblely pure tone on that song - his vocals were beautiful. I really dislike hip hop music, and would love it if he would just cut that crap out and sing LOL. Jordin is beautiful, performs well, and has a huge voice. Love her!! I'm not really feeling Lakiesha or Melinda this week. I guess I think a lot of times they pick really boring songs. I also really liked Sanjaya last night. He was a hoot to watch and I liked what he was wearing. Crying girl was too funny. Gina - I thought she kind of murdered the song at the end (and did she change the lyrics too?), but I still like her and want her around for another week.

Crying girl was sooo cheesey. What the heck, was it a set up or was she really that caught up in the moment? They showed her and her friend in the very beginning, and this is before she started the crying jag. Was it for real? Her friends expression at the end was priceless, like, "Why didn't I start crying too...I could have been up there getting hugged by my idols." My husband said he hoped crying girl was wearing pampers.

LOL Nessie. When I was watching, I was thinking that maybe she was past of a Make A Wish type of thing. Would explain a lot. Her friend's face was priceless. And did anyone notice the very cute actor that Hayley was shaking her assets to in the first row (left side)? I recognized him from a sci-fi show. She seemed to be paying a lot of attention to that row. Hmmmmm And Sanjaya was doing the same for Paula. That was a hoot. Despite what dialidol shows....I think it's going to be Phil or Stephanie going home tonight

I wondered about crying girl and hope that she is ok and was just overwhelmed with the show, not sick. I enjoyed all of the singing last night but my fav is still Lakisha, Melinda and Chris R. I would have bought any of those songs sung by them except Sanjaya's. He's sweet but I am not into his singing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong because I don't follow it too closely, but hasn't diali÷Êq}been pretty wrong nearly all season? Why give any credence to it?

That would explain a lot. But if this was the case, I think that it would be good for the media to pick up on it so AI would get credit for a wonderful act and more importantly so the little girl would not get mixed comments...
