From the second half I liked Andrew and Lee. And I have a soft spot for Tim. Much better show than last week.

Ellen was saying if Tim could act, he would make it as an actor who could sing, for example, in a show like Glee. His singing is not strong enough for him to make it as a singer, according to Ellen. I don't think he was *that* bad. I enjoy his type of voice, though, so I'm willing to cut him some slack. Many of them will be better once they get over their nerves. I thought they began and ended with the two best of the night. I'd buy Lee's album today. Alex was remarkably better, but one of my favorites, Andrew, isn't going anywhere good.

Smokey, so far my favorite guy is Lee. I think he had me when he had to pull his pants back up a couple times during his song...LOL

lol Naja, I didn't notice that bit! I'm not sure if my favourite is Tim or Alex. Neither was especially good but both draw me in through their performance because they both seem such sweeties.

I don't see any mention of Casey. How did he do last night?

Casey didn't do very well last night, although he played a smoking electric guitar...unfortunately his performance was all about the guitar and not about his vocals. But he looked really good doing it.

Thanks Rox! We are about a week behind in London they had the elimination show on today. I just couldn't resist getting a sneak peak at the next show.

Azriel, I tried to PM you some options of where you can view online either streaming live or shortly after it airs, but you don't seem to take PM's. It not ok to post links to other web sites even in the private folders here or I would do that. Just want to make sure you know you have options if you don't want to wait until it hits UK TV. Let me know how to get it to you if you want em.

I don't post much on other shows other than BB but always read what others are thinking about all the other reality shows out there. I was wondering if I was the only person who feels this season of idol is missing something? Maybe two key things are making this an off year? Although Paula was an easy joke in her delivery you can't help but miss all that and then there is the WOW factor in talent that seems to be missing. Usually there are a few that have something that makes you want to watch. I'm not finding that with any of them. We actually opted to watch biggest loser instead of this last night and then watched Idol later. For the first time ever there is no one that has stood out as some exceptional talent or a front runner. Maybe this show has ran it's course. I like Ellen. Think she's funny as hell but I've never considered her a part of the music industry. Not that the panel on American Idol ever has the final say so in this thing but at least you can always associate them with that Industry. I think we are going to continue to watch something else and then play catch up watching it but sorta just waiting to see who ends up in the finals.

I feel the same way, C1 (and, hi, by the way!). The judges panel feels really off to me. I don't think it's all Ellen's fault, but like you said, it's missing Paula. I think she had far more to do with a good balance than many thought. I will see how the girls do tonight. So far, no one is wowing me. I have been taping the show and then watching where I can fast forward through the commercials. They have a commercial after every performance. Ridiculous.

I've heard a lot of people say the same things you have C1mag, but I like several of this year's contestants, so I'm not feeling like I'm missing anything and I'm enjoying the show a lot more without Paula because she just annoyed the hell out of me. The only thing that has slightly annoyed me this year is Ellen, Randy and Kara saying, "you know" after every other sentence.

You know what I think it is Azriel it may be that we've heard so many variations that unless the talent is unique it seems like they are casting for the same roles but with a new face. There is talent there but it seems to be the same type of talent. I know thats the downside to this type of thing but at some point it does hit a block where you say.. heard it before. I think also whats happening is the show as usual highlights their favorites and so far their early fav's have not done as well which opens the door for interesting things to happen. Those who really invest in this show tend to want to have their favorites already selected and I don't think thats happening.

IMO there are 3 "disposables" and 2 can go this wk and the other next wk: Todrick, Jermaine, John. IMO tere are 5 that I want to make top 12 overall: Lee, Casey, Andrew, Alex, & Michael I'm torn between the other 2 as far as which one should go on to top 12 overall: Tim & Aaron

There are no "idols" right off the bat that make you sit up and take notice. Coming off a season like last year (whether you liked him or not, Adam had the chops), this season would've really had to have the best singers ever. Unfortunately, while the judges kept saying "this season we have the best talent ever" as they let people go, we haven't seen much of it. A few random great performances here and there, but very inconsistent. I really don't see any of these people becoming true Idol material (no Kelly, no Carrie, no Adam -- who may not have won but has outsold what's his name by a huge percentage).

None of the guys has caught my attention at this point. I thought the judging has gone off way back with Randy being sort of an act with his repeated phrases and booing of Simon (which was back last night, ick) and then Kara didn't add well to the mix, then they lost Paula and while I love Ellen, I don't love her on this show. Since Kara came there is one too many judge anyway, but now the only tolerable one is Simon. I did vote for some women last week and probably will this week as well but haven't lifted a single phone for the guys.. again, so far.

Lee kind of reminds me of a mix of several other contestants - in looks he reminds me a little of Elliot Yamin and in voice he reminds me a little of Daughtry. His body posture reminds me of Bo Bice. If he can keep it together and gain more confidence (like Bo did in his season) I think he can go far. He and Michael Lynch were really the only two standouts in my opinion the other night.

I like Lee--I missed the pants on the ground stuff with him! LOL I feel so lukewarm about most of the boys. I think Alex is so darn cute with those big dimples.

Have to agree here that, although the kids are extremely talented, I wouldn't characterize this group of guys and girls "the best ever in Idol history," as the judges keep crowing. I would like to have seen Tyler stay longer than just the first week; he had such a gift with the 70s music that I like. My personal favorites are Lee, Michael, Casey and Andrew.

I love Lee, Casey and then Michael! I was happy with who went home this week. I LOVED Danny Gokey! Great song! I think I might buy his CD! I'm so happy for him!

Hey, I wish now I'd downloaded from iTunes in previous seasons some of the tunes that were performed on the shows. Is there any way to get tracks like Adam Lambert's "Mad World" and "Ring of Fire?" I loved his versions of those songs.

Me, too, Sia! I didn't have an mp3 player last year, but now I have one and would love to have some of Adam's songs from last year. They should have a page where you can download "vintage" AI performances.
