They also need to find a modern sound for her. Everything she's done is completely opposite of what's happening right now. Siobhan is much more current, she's got a bit of "emo" going on and she could be indie crossover easy.

I think Crystal is going "guitarless" next week. Ooo, stop the presses.

Carlp....Crystal did say "if I'm here" but it was hard to hear her...but she did say it when she was responding to Ellen.

What I don't care for with DiDi is she sounds almost exactly like Megan from last year. I really don't care for the whiney stuff because every song ends up sounding the same to me. I think DiDi is actually a better singer; just not my style.

I still love Aaron and can't wait to see him sing. Too bad he's sick.

Was wondering when Crystal would do Janis. Did she say "Salinas" right, or did she make it sound like Salina, Kansas the way Kris Kristofferson did. It's Sahleenus not Salyenys.

Justfun, sorry, I must have missed it. The thing is, it isn't that I do not like her. I just look at her as kind of a one trick pony which is fine. She is an amazing talent. Just not my cup o' tea. lol And, regardless of anything, she will have a successful career.

Crystal was the best by far tonight. All the rest had problems. At least Siobhan is interesting and entertaining. Mike is excellent but he is Ruben part two (maybe even better) but I'm not sure if he'll do any better. Katie at least sang a song from this century. Paige was dreadful. The rest were pretty forgettable and rather karaoke.

Speaking of which, why do they keep picking such old songs. Why don't they try something current?

I am done with AI. They have jumped the shark. Mylie Cyrus as a mentor? In her short cut offs and huge cross? She's 17! She knows nothing. I am out of here!

I'd buy Crystal's CD. Siobhan's And.. uh.. possibly Mike's.

I sure hope Paige goes home.. wouldn't be great to have her on the tour compared to anyone else left..

Dialidol says statitically anyone but Crystal could go home. Paige at the bottom of that list who are too close to call with Tim just above her, at the moment. And things do change with west coast voting.

My faves
Crystal
Siobhan
Aaron
Mike

Paige, Tim need to go home right away. Next to go home Andrew and Didi and Lee (he is completely unremarkable)
Katie and Casey, need to step up, but they have potential
That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it LOL

After last nights show I have changed my mind again.

I loved Crystal's voice last night, there is just something about her that bugs me, maybe she is shy and I am misreading her but I see a smugness about her, like she has this in the bag, I am probably wrong, I am usually wrong on my first impressions.

I like Mike.

Siobhan is my favorite, which is the kiss of death for her, my favs never win.

I love Aaron's voice, I really hope he goes far.

Casey I like too.

Tim and Lee bore me.

Paige, Didi and Andrew need to go. What a disappointment Andrew has been.

If I left anyone out they were unforgettable anyway.

I think that Crystal knows that the judges love her and in her effort to be careful responding and not appear smug, ironically she is appearing smug. All of this judge love is great but it presents a different kind of problem to a contestant.

I have absolutely no problem with Miley mentoring. She is young, she is current and she is enormously successful in the music industry. Dare I say, rather than jumping the shark, they have finally got someone who is relevant.

ETA: Love Ruben but all I meant is he hasn't sold as many records as some of the other winners.

I think that Crystal comes across as shy and rather guarded. I think she is also uncomfortable with the fact that the judges have put her up on a pedastal...it must be very uncomfortable for her when she has to be surrounded by the other contestants.

I agreed with what Simon said about Siobhan last night...I was listening to her sing and thinking "well, when is she going to break out that big note?" And honestly, it wasn't that great of a big note...it was just big. She needs to do something different or she will become very predictable. My favorite performance of her's is still the first week of competition. I think she's trying to top herself every week and it is getting old.

Paige...sad performance. Tim...sad performance. I agreed that Big Mike was oversinging the song...it would have been so much more beautiful and effective if he hadn't tried to throw such much into it. I also wasn't impressed with Lee this week. Aaron is hard to judge because of his vocal problems (but when have the judges ever been so nice about vocal problems? This season is weird.) I thought Katie started out the best she has in a long time but started losing it toward the end. Didi -- I actually liked what she did but I think she is starting to lose it. Andrew...how sad is it that the early frontrunner has failed so miserably? I keep waiting for him to have a great week and he keeps disappointing.

And Casey...that man just looks so good up on stage. He's the kind of guy that I used to go to clubs to see when I was in my 20s...and sit as close to the front as I could (which probably explains my hearing loss these days!). He's just a beautiful man. Who can actually sing and really play the guitar.

I agree both Paige and Tim need to go home first out of all of them, but I hope it's Paige first. To me it was like she didn't even show up last night. At least Tim jumped around and entertained us a bit.

My fav guy is Lee, but he really needs to start getting a little more exciting on stage.

And right now I am wondering what I was thinking when I picked Andrew to be in the top 3. The judges are right. He had one good week with the Paula song, and he's still surviving from the memory of that I think.

I think Crystal appears smug because she doesnt smile with her teeth,she just sort of grins with her mouth closed.Her teeth are bad so maybe thats why.

I really like Crystal. She is a true artist; she knows herself and she knows her music and style. She feels every song. I think that the whole world they've been thrown into is what is difficult for her to adjust to...it's just not her style. But, if she wants to be marketed she needs to get in control of that aspect of the business. I don't think she is smug so much as shy and not sure of how this all works...she's been wrapped up so much in her music. Did I say I love her!!!!!

I love Crystal, too, Auntiemike...she doesn't come across as smug at all to me. I think she is just a little bit out of her element.

I really hope she wins, but would be okay with Siobhan winning as well. She is just so....random. And kooky. And she can SING. I love them both.

Other than that, though...the remaining Idols just aren't very good. I like Big Mike, and Aaron can really sing, but he is so young...

I've been really disappointed in Andrew. I loved Straight Up, but maybe Simon was right, and we all overestimated him.

Casey can really sing, too, and he is so fun to look at but...I'm finding that - from week to week - I keep forgetting he is even in the competition! Not sure what that says about him, but there it is.

I just realized that, Crystal would be here next week no matter what. I forgot about the save. lol So, she will definitely be in the final 5. And, that is good because she deserves to be there. Just because she isn't my fav, doesn't mean she is not extremely talented. If she is not the winner, she will be damn close and, she has a major career ahead of her.

When the contestants got to Hollywood and Crystal
sang in the group song I noticed that her teeth
were soo yellow, I couldn't bevieve it. Somebody
should give her teeth whitener and then maybe she
will smile more. She is great as well as Michael
and Casey. I kinda like Siobhan and the rest can
all go home because I read while they are singing and only listen to the judge's comments.
