Something about Lakisha bugs me, she seems fake or something, i had a feeling she would be in the bottom this week.

I bet half on Chris figuring it'd be him or Sanjaya. I knew I should've figured the sympathy vote in ::sigh::

Naja, I know this has got to be hard for you ::hugs:: And for the record, although I know he needed to go I do feel bad for him. Last night just reminded me of how young he really is (again, 17 year old girls are generally much more mature than 17 year old boys). I think he has handled the stress a lot better than most could have. And I think everyone needs to get off the kid's case already.



On the flipside....I will miss the hair. My co-worker (who pretty much has a Phil doo) cracked me up this morning with his "Sanjaya" bandana. And everyone except one person got it immediately. We're trying to talk him into a faux-hawk ::snicker::

The joking and talk at your office is exactly why the show's producers like contestants like Sanjaya and why we aren't likely to see a change in the show's format based on what happened this season. Add to that the fact that it is by far the number one show on TV and the ratings are up over last year. I enjoy the show the way it is and the way people get so invested in the outcome.

I'd heard the ratings were down. Where'd you get your stats?

And it can't be the #1 show because the Apprentice is #1 (at least that's what Donald Trump says.......ha, ha, ha)

LOL Yoda!

Costa, My stats are from CNN.

NIELSEN TOP 10
Prime-Time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research for April 9-15.


1. "American Idol" (Wednesday), Fox, 28.56 million viewers.
2. "American Idol" (Tuesday), Fox, 26.78 million viewers.
3. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 22.18 million viewers.
4. "House," Fox, 21.57 million viewers.
5. "Dancing With the Stars" (Monday), ABC, 18.84 million viewers.
6. "Dancing With the Stars Results" (Tuesday), ABC, 17.32 million viewers.
7. "Desperate Housewives," ABC, 16.35 million viewers.
8. "CSI: Miami," CBS, 16.11 million viewers.
9. "Shark," CBS, 14.49 million viewers.
10. "NCIS," CBS, 14.38 million viewers.

……

Fortunately for Fox, there's "American Idol." It has cooled off since the beginning of this season, and the overall average audience is now 2 percent greater than last year's average turnout at this time. Its two editions last week were, as is often the case, the two most-watched programs in prime time.

Incidentally, it is interesting how statistics can be interpreted differently. It is true that the ratings are down in the sense that it has cooled off from the extremely high ratings it was enjoying at the very beginning of the season. However, it is still far and away the number one show and the ratings are still up from a comparable point in time last season.

Barry Gibb is Final 4 week.

I'm confused about next week. I'm showing both Bono and Quincy Jones as the coaches with the theme "inspirational songs." Can anyone clarify if either or both are the coaches for next week.

Also... is next Tuesday night also a 2-hour show? I've got it in my head that both nights will be 2 hours.

Hmm... the ratings have risen then, in the past couple of weeks. Because they were down, a lot, earlier this season.

Lexie, TVGuide.com shows Tuesday as a 1 hr show, but doesn't say anything about who the guest mentor is...it does say something about the theme being songs that inspire or something like that.

Wednesday is definitely 2 hours. Has anyone heard any rumors about the big duet? Paul McCartney finally? Surely not Michael Jackson? Maybe Paul and Michael together? Ebony and Ivory 2007?

You could be on to something about Paul McCartney. He's been wanting to do the show for years, but his schedule never allowed it. I vaguely remember reading something at the beginning of the season that they were able to work something out with McCartney to appear on the show.

hmm... ya, I thought I heard that Paul McCartney was going to be the show. I was wondering if it was maybe Celine Dion and someone else? Maybe Celine & Paul?? or Celine and Andrea Bocelli?

I would like to see Barry Manilow coach again. At least, when he coaches them, all the contestants sound good that week.

Okay, I watched that link on Oprah that was posted (maybe by Naja in another thread?). Simon made a comment about being approached at the beginning of the season for Idol Gives back by a group in the UK that does a lot of charity work. I'm starting to think we may not be that off base that maybe Paul McCartney will be a surprise guest.

martina mcbride was no good....what did she do? nothing. Country night should be retired after that horrible outing.

Au contraire, I thought Martina McBride was a good coach. We saw film of her helping them with their songs, changing keys or what needed to be done.

I thought Martina did a great job. She did help them with their songs, and she wasn't always "oh, so and so is perfect." She did provide constructive criticism.

I enjoy Country Week. It's interesting to see which singers could cross over, and which fail miserably. Phil, although still way at the bottom of my favs list, actually did a good job this past week. LaKisha, still in the middle of the pack for me, didn't do so well.

I just started to watch AI this season...so I have a question for you veterans. how much of your vote, or America's vote, depends on THAT particular weeks performance? and how much of the vote depends on the persons's overall performances?

I guess I am a little bit surprised to see Phil who seems to have been holding a spot in the bottom three jump up into the top simply because he gave 1 good performance. Do you think America will continue to be fickle? or are we at the point in the competition where 1 bad performance could be enough to send someone packing?
