Aaron is a cutie, I think he will surf the wave of the teenybopper vote for several weeks. He's not a strong singer, but he's perfect as cotton-candy, Tiger Beat coverboy, genuine Teen Idol. I think New Kids on the Block when I see him. He sang my favorite Stones song, and while he'll never hold a candle to the original, I think he chose the song he could handle. And he did.

They are criticizing Crystal so it doesn't seem so obvious who they are favoring. I think she is an extraordinary talent. I am just not as into her as others are. lol But, I do know she is amazing.

I am not understanding all of the praise for Siobhan. I think she is Horrible. I haven't like anything she has sang yet. I think that Crystal, Paige and Didi are all way better then Siobhan.
Crystal is going to be a Huge Star with or without AI.
Big Mike is my favorite of the guys followed by Arron and Lee.

Lee, Crystal and Andrew are my favorites. I don't think Siobhan deserves the kudos that the judges gave her. I don't see the lack of confidence the judges see in Lee.

For me no one stood out as bad, and only Crystal and Paige really stood out. I have a feeling the person who goes will be a surprise, as the bottom votes will be based on popularity from previous episodes rather than last night's singing.

Crystal is good and makes it look effortless. However, I see Simon's comments differently. He burdened her with 'frontrunner', 'yours to lose', 'you think you already have it won'... as I heard those type of comments, I thought "why would someone vote for her?" They would vote for one of the other contestants that may appear to be in trouble. In my opinion, he also made her sound a bit cocky and overconfident. Not that she is, it just sounded that way to me. Crystal disagreed with him, but once Simon says something it kind of hangs out there. These type of comments by Simon just reinterate that I don't think she will win AI this year.

Untimately, I believe that America will cast their votes for the perceived underdog. Examples: Archeleta -> Cook or Lambert -> Allen. Simon used similar tactics with both Archeleta and Lambert. In the end, both lost. So, if I were Crystal, I would hate to hear Simon say what he is saying.

Why in the world did Katie Stevens feel compelled to change the "Wild Horses" lyric from "graceless lady" to "grace this lady"? Nerves? Forgot the lyric? Uncomfortable uttering the word "graceless"? Other?

Not quite as bad as <Lacey> Brown's scandalous "Landside" instead of "Landslide," but close.

Uncle_ricky! It's been ages since I've seen your name!

Maybe they downloaded Katie's lyrics from the internet. I'm sure you can find a corrupted version of any song somewhere!

Kooklie, I have the same fears. In fact I did put some votes in for Crystal last night along with voting for Siobahn. Unfortunately Lilly wasn't there for my votes now.

Simon never learns. He does the same thing every year and then wonders why "Amereker" got it wrong. I suspect that this tactic works in Britain, but it doesn't seem to work with the American rebels!

Kitt -- How sweet of you to remember me (I'm brushing away a tear as I write this). I've been mostly lurking and sparing everyone my wacko observations. .

But I so outraged by Katie screwing up the lyric that I had to see if anyone else noticed it, too. I hope it wasn't intentional, probably nerves. I'd like to see her go far -- she won't win, of course, but I think she'll survive the top ten cut. We'll see. (Anyone but that Brown person -- her "Ruby Tuesday" was frightful.)

Who are your favorites, Kitt?

I think Katie might have just misremembered the line. I didn't notice but I don't know the song that well, even though I was born when it was released, unlike Katie and probably Katie's mother ;).

My favourite is Crystal, but I have a huge soft spot for Tim. Like some others, I'm not convinced Crystal can win, as I'm not sure she's mainstream enough for the big voters.

Trini - it's not normal for a pvr to do that, mine occasionally mucks up and doesn't record properly, but then when you try and play the recording it just won't play, goes straight to asking if you want to delete it. I've never had it play a blank screen.

The thing I noticed about when that happens....I record the same shows upstairs on the tivo as I do downstairs on the comcast dvr. When a whole show goes kerplewy on the comcast DVR downstairs, I'll go check it upstairs on the tivo, and the tivo will have recorded the whole time, but the channel itself either wasn't coming in at all, or the whole broadcast of the show was really messed up. Like it was coming in and out the whole time or cable totally went out during that time and it recorded one still image or nothing at all. But it's true, if I find it messed up in comcast dvr, the tivo recording is also messed up in some way. The difference is that tivo recorded all the messed up stuff while the comcast DVR didn't.

Trini, ours does it once in a blue moon, we just curse and ignore it. After all the dvr's basically a pc and sometimes they just mess up for no reason too.

eta: ooo, interesting Naja. I don't have two recorders so didn't think about it being something with the broadcast.

Kitt, same thing as when the governor of my fair state says "Cal-ee-four-knee-ya." <shudder> :-)

Trini, try to reboot your PVR. Turn it off, count to 10, and then power it back up. Did it show "to be announced" as being recorded for 2 hours? Odds are your best bet is to call your service provider to see if they can figure it out. After you reboot.

PVR's are kind of flakey. They mess up now and then. You may want to fully reboot it. Unplug it from the power, wait a minute and then plug it back in. Try recording something else that isn't important to test it out.

Mine blacked out on the last 5 minutes of Lost last night...now I have to go and watch the whole thing on the computer!

I liked Crystal last night the best I've ever seen her. I'm not a huge fan of Siobhan's performance last night but thought her dress was cute. Kate was meh to me last night and I didn't like Lacey's performance at all. Paige (to me) just kind of got lost in the shuffle. I still like Didi but she is kind of (like somebody already said) hanging with Paige, Katie and Lacey.

That Casey is just hot. He, Lee and Michael were the best boy's performances to me. I would listen to the rest of the performances and after about the first few bars just fast forward on to the next performer.
