I think people on the boards have become so jaded by the gigantic egos of the youngsters who have no business having an ego at all that you are skeptical of someone who is humble and grounded. Sure, she'd have to be deaf to not know how good she is, but she seems like a sweet person to me. And Simon doesn't seem to think its an act, and I would think his BS detector would have picked something up by now. JMO.

Nickovtyme, I completely agree that Sanjaya's sister should have made it through over him. I was shocked when they let her go and kept him. My favorite guy tonight was Chris (the one with all the hair.)

I never said she wasn't sweet and I'm sure she's far from niave. but then that's what this show is for...to have a favorite...then come to the boards and duke it out. :D I agree Cricket. Of the guys...Chris S. is the only one I think has a chance...and a slim one at that. no pun intended. ;D

I thought there were three standout performances tonight. Melinda was good as expected but came in a little below my high expectations (but still better than almost everyone anyway). Lakisha was great. I love the tone of her voice, her singing style and her attitude. I knew Jordin had talent but she exceeded my high expectations for her. She is wonderful! On kind of a second tier, I enjoyed Gina's performance. It was dynamic and it had heart. IMO the rest were totally forgettable with the exception of Sanjaya and Brandon who were memorable for being really bad. Sanjaya is a nice guy but I find it hard to understand where he is getting the votes (VFTW?).

on VFTW do they usually just have 1 person they want everyone to vote for? LOL Howard Stern talked about their site on his show so there is no way Sunjay is going home

You know, in the auditions, Sanjaya had a really rich, nice voice. I think there's got to be some confidence or nerve or age factor here. I do not think he should be in this top 12, but I also feel a bit sorry for him, too. He seems like a very sweet boy and it's gotta be tough when you're 17 to hear so many comments, not only from the judges, but from the media, too.

he does have an innocent charm that will keep him there while real deserving singers will be gone.....that is why they need to limit voting on this show

Is it just me or does the band also seem out of tune sometimes tonight? Especially when they first start a song.

Responding to Melinda being "semi-pro". It was brought up at her audition that she was a back up singer and it certainly appeared that Randy, Paula and Simon had never met her. I don't see where she was a back up singer on AI. It said she was a back up singer for AI's George Huff. Was he on a previous AI or is he part of AI? And to give equal time, Brandon Rogers is also a back singer. Brandon Rogers From Back-up Singer To American Idol 6 Brandon Rogers is twenty-eight years old and is from North Hollywood, California. Brandon has been a back-up singer for Anastasia and Christina Aguilera. Ok back to tonight's show. My top three Melinda, Lakisha and Jordin. Bottom is Brandon, Sanj (what is his still doing there). and I know some really like Chris R, but he doesn't do a thing for me. The only way I know what song he is singing is by the lyrics. All his songs sound exactly the same too me, same tune, movement etc. Sounds like he does mimic Justin Timberlake and there is no other depth to him. Of course this all JMO.

Cruzlv when trying to find out who she sang background for I found 2 separate articles that were referred to, by copying them. Wish I knew where they were from. One you saw I copied verbatim. The other said how she was a background singer for Idol 6 and did session work. So it didn't clarify it at all. I must say it makes me want to hunt down some shows from that season and see if she was in the background. I'd be rushing more if I didn't like her so much. And I don't think she is putting on an act. Maybe she is playing up a feature/characteristic. But if it's all an act then I say forget about Idol and somone get her a movie contract. Remember background singers aren't treated especially well, nor do they get much credit. They are usually just dressed in black off in a corner. I could easily see her feeling she was never leaving her little corner, and being surprised especially if her self esteem is a bit low (and that has NOTHING to do with talent ever). All that said, she is the one who has consistently performed the best IMHO and who has been gracious and grateful to the judges when good and took their criticism as a constructive tool to do better the few times it was given. To me that is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the snots we've seen who are yelling back at Simon while I'm still trying to get my ears to stop bleeding lolol. I found that info in less than 10 googling minutes...I'm sure there's more out there any maybe it clarifies the Idol connection. When I have some time and energy I'll poke some more. But since both mentioned Idol, be it the show or George, it would seem some connection exists. Plus did George ever do anything solo where he would have his own background singers outside of the Idol TV show? I just don't want to put up anything negative about her, cause she's got my support all the way.

I liked Melinda and LaKisha very much tonight. Dialidol had Sanjaya in third so I put my votes in for Jordin who was in fourth, which is just wrong. I still like Gina too. And some others don't suck, which is good. As Simon said they just might bring it on.

Indeed, VFTW, having lost Sundance and Antonella in one week, are now telling people to vote for Sanjaya and thanking Howard Stern for urging all of his fans to do the same. And there he is in third place tonight. That's why I did my voting for Jordin, because Melinda and LaKisha were not listed as even possibly going home, Sanjaya was listed as third and not going home and everyone else is at risk statistically. Jordin was in fourth but 4-12 possible so, since she was good tonight.. that was my choice. Apparently Simon has said if Sanjaya wins, he won't be back for another season. (Simon, not Sanjaya).
