My wife and I are still in the "who we don't like" mode with the whole group right now so I can't say we have focused in on anyone as our favorite or favorites. We do think that based on the limited exposure to this season's group that the eventual winner will probably come out of the women but even that's not to say one or more of the guys will start to come on strong. That said our view of last night was Haeley's performance was just plain painful followed closely by DiDi and Lacey.

If you are Irish Siobhan is not an unusual name. I love it. I am hoping Did can stay. I love her voice. Last night was just not good for her but I do see potential.

My top three are still Siobhan, Crystal and Lilly, in that order. I prefer Siobhan because she's much more original and has a sparkling personality. The other two fit into already established genres but may be stronger overall musicians.

I kinda like Lacey. And Crystal looks to me a bit like Claire on LOST.

I feel like I did last year. Seems the winner is a foregone conclusion. Don't get me wrong I like Crystal. But, I would like to not be pushed that direction. Does that make sense? And,yes, I remember who did win. lol

While Adam didn't actually win last season, he really was the ultimate winner. Without having the ball and chain of an Idol contract around his neck, he's actually done way better than what's his name (I can never remember the name of the guy who did actually win). I'm not so sure Crystal is a foregone conclusion. I think she'll go far, but I'm not sure she'll be the Idol. I wouldn't mind it though. I kinda like the thought of a "non cookie cutter white bread" winner for a change (oh yeah, what's his face last year fits that description! lol!).

All in all the right picks went this week, IMO.

I'm happy Didi stayed too. Her performance was dreadful but I felt so bad for her. I think she can do better than that.

I do too. I wish they would assist them more on song choice during the early rounds...Kara has thrown around some songs for some other contestants...I wish she would throw Didi a song and then judge her on her performance and not on song choice.

I don't think Michelle should have left this week. Should have been Lacy or Didi, based on performances. But I don't vote, so what do I know?

OMG I've never been so happy to hear someone was eliminated. I was afraid the tween fanbase would keep Haeley around for weeks! Whew!

Haeley was definitely at the top of my list to go! I appreciated her joy, but not her performances.

I haven't watched this show since Kelly Clarkson was on, but the female talent looks great. I admit I'm an indie snob. What else can I say? I have a girl crush on Crystal Bowersox, I think she's awesome! I would like to see her cover Blind Melon; not the bumblebee girl song "No Rain" but something else off that album like "Drive."

Crystal won DH's heart when she busted out the Bob Dylan harmonica. He loves her. It was time for Haeley to go. She should have been gone last week. How did that poor girl wind up in the top 24? She was awful. This morning I was turning on cartoons for DS to eat his breakfast by, and as I was changing the channel to Disney (not even paying attention to what was on the screen), he says, "Is that the guy from American Idol?" I went back to the previous channel, and son of a gun if it wasn't Danny Gokey singing the same song he sang the other night. He was on GAC (Great American Country). Awesome! Apparently he's doing very well. Nice to hear. Still haven't heard Adam Lambert on the radio. I hear lots of Kris Allen, but no AL. Maybe I'm listening to the wrong stations?

Yes, they have played Adam a lot on my pop station (I love Kidd Kraddock in the Morning show).

In her defense, the girl who sang so badly, I thought, sounded worse because she was very emotional on elimination night. She had sung a bit better on performance night. I have sung before groups of people (at church, for weddings, etc.), and while I'm not a professional singer by any means, I can tell you that nerves and emotion will really mess you up and make you sound worse than you would sound under normal circumstances. Haeley was on the verge of tears--as would be anyone leaving the show and competition--and some people just can't sing while almost crying. For the life of me, I can't sing a sad song, for example, and control my voice; I just want to cry. Some people, conversely, can sing the saddest songs in the world and their voices don't betray the emotional connection they may feel to the song.

Sia, I always thought it was cruel to make them sing their song after they were eliminated. It was heartbreaking to watch Hailey sing after she was eliminated.

Haeley didn't perform very well on either performance nights. I thought she was lucky to get by last week! I think that she has talent but she was not mature enough at this point for this competition.

Me too. I think it would have been better if they hadn't picked her, as then maybe she could have come back next year. I think once you're in the top 24 there's no chance of them ever letting you get there again. Next year she'd probably have had a lot better chance.

Kitt, I think you're right - once you have been on the stage in the life performances in front of the national audience you are done and can't reappear on AI.
