If Sanjaya does win this whole thing then I think AI will loose ALOT of credebility. I work in the music industry and why this kid is still in it baffles us. He's extremley pitchy, he has the potential to be good but he needs alot of vocal lessons. Why people like Howard Stern/votefortheworst are backing him makes me mad because the other singers are far more talented. Sanjaya has also gotten very cocky, he no longer works at it, he just goes out there and sings and does whatever because he knows he'll make it through. The judges are not happy with him being there which is why you barely get anything out of them when he's done singing. From what I'm hearing it's not a good situation with him. For those of you ACTUALLY voting for him...WHY are you doing it?

Well when you have kids voting 40 million times over who should get slimed, it isnt a far stretch to figure out those tweens are voting for sanjaya.

IMO Sanjaya was HORRIBLE last night -- I've never thought he was a BAD singer but his performance last night was the worst of the season. And his hair looked bad too. It was slicked back and he has obviously had it cut quite a bit. Maybe he couldn't get the rubber bands out of it last week...LOL! Phil doesn't have any hair on top...you could tell because during his scene with Tony it was stubbled quite a bit and the man has significant hair loss all over the top and way back on the sides of his forehead. There just ain't nothing there anymore to grow out. Having said that, I think he sings beautifully, has gorgeous blue eyes, and I think the judges were too harsh on him. They have already dismissed him as a competitor so he is doomed in the next week or so unless he pulls a major rabbit out of a hat. I agree that LaKisha's song was too low for her at the start, and I was disappointed that she threw in the tag at the end...this is a classic song and while there is a point to "making it your own" throwing in something totally unrelated is not good form. She should have ended on the big note. I wasn't that impressed with Melinda this week. I thought her performance was a little jerky and frenetic. And she still was dressed poorly. Perhaps a long jacket would work for her and some flowing slacks to give her height? Jordin was adorable and sang that song beautifully. I thought her outfit looked good on her, but it was pretty plain. Hayley sang beautifully but I agree that it was a little "pageanty." I was thinking that it looked like some kind of talent show performance. It scares me that Simon and I thought the same thing. I'm not a fan of either Chris R or Blake, so neither of their performances impressed me. I love the song "SMILE" -- although it always makes me cry, but Gina did a good job with it. I would have liked it to tear at my heartstrings just a little bit more...but I think I hear another singer singing it in my head all the time when I hear it (could it be Judy Garland?) and I don't think anyone else can sing it quite as well.

Bottom three this week should be Haley, Jordin, and Lakisha. Phil should be there but he was so slammed by the judges that he will get more votes. Gina could fall down there. I just hope Sanjaya is safe. He was so good last night.

I have heard speculation that the producers and judges are going to use Sanjaya as a reason to not have the public voting, and then do away with it. They evidentally did this in England.

I honestly hated the way Melinda, LaKisha, Jordin, and that young gentleman in the hat sang last night. I might have liked Mr. Phil the best.....I donno. I'm sorry, but you don't need to mess around with "I Got Rhythm," "Stormy Weather," or "On a Clear Day" (which does NOT need an uptempo arrangement). But then again, I'm just a traditionalist with this kind of song....

I too thought Phil was excellent, but the judges dont like him and it has nothing to do with his singing. They dont like his look. Don't forget, ultimately we have the judges to thank for Sanjaya being on that stage.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought Phil performed well last night. The judges were way too hard on him!!!

I thought Phil did great too. I think he should have listened to Tony's suggestions. I think Phil's downfall is his rather lack of on stage presence. I would definitely listen to him on radio though.

I wish Stacy and Clinton from What Not to Wear would be guests on AI, not to sing but to dress the idols. I would find that interesting and entertaining. I didn't like the black tire looking band around Lekisha's middle and didn't like anyone's outfit last night. Haley's was pretty but too low cut and too short, imo. I thought Blake did ok. I don't get Chris R. He never sounds that great to me. He reminds me too much of Justin Timberlake. I thought Sanjaya sounded really bad for Idol singing and I don't think Phil sounded very good either. I thought Gina and Haley sounded really good, Jordin, LeKisha and Melinda sounded great. The who-me? incredulous look on Melinda is annoying me, even though I think it is genuine. I was saying "please don't have the look" at the tv last night. I wish Sanjaya had gone home long ago. I'm tired of him. I am tired of the distraction of him. I hope he is not really cocky even though he is acting like it. I thought he sounded terrible (by idol standards and in comparison to the others he is competing with) last night, but, I think he does have natural talent. I just don't think he should be in this competition. I want this to be a singing competition first and performance/showmanship competition following that. I don't like the vftw aspect. I'm losing enthusiasm for this show and that disappoints me.

The judges want Melinda to win.....They pick one person each year...Year one it was Tamyra, year two Ruben, year 3 Fantasia, year four Carrie. Year 5 i am not sure, Year 6 Melinda. The judges(Simon) usually get what they want. People are gulable and will vote the way the judges say. The only year America did not listen was when Kelly won. And she is the best idol ever.

i really like Phil as well, thought he was great last week and he was my favourite last night along with Jordin. I don't understand why the judges can't seem to find anything nice to say to him week after week. why did they put him thru? I don't get the Chris love.

Maybe this (sanjaya) will force Idol to revamp their voting system. Maybe something like Dancing with the Stars, where the judges give a score, and the audience calls in, and there is some sort of average.

hope so Darrell, cuz as it is they might as well move this to nickelodeon. I thought I'd posted earlier, but it disappeared, so <shrug> ... I liked Melinda, Chris R, Jordin and Phil (remember I don't watch them when they sing). And I never thought I'd like Chris R, but I liked the spin he put on that song. And the Jr High kids could have done better than Sanjaya did last night. He has the weakest voice. I'm a big Gina fan, but last night I didn't like her performance. Don't like Haley, think she should go. I think now she's trying to get by on her 'sex appeal'. Didn't like Lakisha messing with Stormy Weather and I'm not a Blake fan, something about him bugs me.

I love the idea of Stacy and Clinton coming in to help these poor Idols dress. I thought most of the songs were boring last night and hated the comments the judges made to Haley. She's not my favoite but I hate that they don't give her any constructive suggestions...instead they just tell her that it's a good thing she's pretty.

Sanjaya was horrendous last night and cocky isn't even a strong enough word for his attitude. "Welcome to the world of Sanjaya" was what I thought he said to Simon but I wasn't sure until later on when it was slowed down on Jimmy Kimmel. Oh puleeezzzz! He needs to be gone tonight!

I am waiting for Simon to actually hurl the next time Sanjaya is on Idol, the venomous look he gives is priceless. I think his cocky attitude this week is going to be his undoing with the judges. They have been restrained the last two weeks I think because they saw him as an unwitting pawn in this whole vote for the worst/howard Stern fiasco. But with his ego getting bigger and bigger you can look to see Randy and Simon start cutting him down and viciously. Randy has had enough of this game now too. Next week should be interesting. I would love to know what the other finalists think of him now as good singers start getting eliminated before him.

Ok, just after a quick browse, it looks like my view is a little different on the Sanjaya front. Last night was the first night I actually liked his singing. Maybe it's because I really liked the song he chose? Or his 'new look' but the guy is really starting to grow on me. Not enough where I feel he should 'win' AI but I do think he has alot of potential. My picks for the top 3 are; Lakisha, Melinda and Blake; it's been the same for weeks now.

Okay, I'm going to defend Sanjaya here.... I perceive a bit of cockiness too..... but Simon started this whole 'Universe of Sanjaya' thing. He is just playing along and I take that to be good spirited. I say good for him for making the best of an awkward situation, where they invited him on the show to perform and then reamed him ever since. I actually think they are cutting him some slack for feeling a bit heady. He's only a kid!

DialIdol is showing women in the bottom 4. What??? I don't understand. They show Lakisha in the bottom 2. Who uses DialIdol? Jordin & Lakisha are my favorites. I guess I should put Melinda in there, but something about her just irks me. She can sing, though.
