Well darn, my shy, nervous little guy is gone. Every year one of my favorites is voted out in this round. At least I can watch the result shows here on out without being nervous for anyone.

I felt so sad for Alex. I was really surprised he went because I figured he had the teeny bopper vote, for sure. He's such a cute kid. I was surprised about Lilly. It seemed even Katie thought she was the one going. They kept showing her face and she looked really upset, prior to being told who was going. Crystal seems like she really does not feel well.

I think Alex,Tim and Aaron probably split the teeny bopper vote. I felt bad for Lilly. While I didn't much like her, I don't think she should have left.

I'm absolutely astonished that Lilly is gone. I thought she had a real shot at top five or higher. It seems that Crystal is even more of a lock to finish high now assuming she doesn't get sick again.

I can't believe Katie and Paige are still there and Lilly, Alex and Catelyn are gone. Wish Andrew left over Alex too.

I'll guess the final 4 as: Siobhan, Crystal, Big Mike and Lee. I think Big Mike will win it all. Not that I think he's the best singer. I just think America will vote for him... new baby and all (good backstory)

Haven't been around these parts in a bit, having missed a few shows and caught some of them later. (Tuning in for about the last 20 min of the guys last night and am not sure I want to hear more than the recaps lolol). I thought Lilly was one of the most uniquely talently performers on Idol ever. Granted, I felt she and Patsy Cline (who I usually adore, but it just didn't work IMHO) was a mistake, but beyond that she's been amazing. I too looked for her to finish HIGH and have one of the best shots at a successful recording career. Plus Lily is one of the few who knows herself as an artist. I really think Idol needs to up the minimum age. Katy is a perfect example. She has tons of raw potential. I ADORE her backstory, and more importantly see lots of potential when she is older and has worked on her voice/style. But I'm sorry, she just isn't seasoned enough, doesn't know how to control her voice, and has NO clue what type of music or style she wants to put out there. Then again, isn't that the type Clive Davis just loves working with? Which is why all the true Idol talent need to get out of their Idol contracts before they hit success. SIGH. But no way she should have stayed over Lilly, sorry. Chy think you may have hit the nail on the head...damn Tweens. They'll sit and vote for hours. If I love someone MAYBE I'll vote for 10 minutes lolol. It's just WRONG that she's gone before top 12 IMHO. BTW am I the only one scared of what some of these kids are going to do to Rolling Stone songs?!!!

LOL Kooklie, funny we both used "backstory" at the nearly the same time. I was typing (and took a brief break to start running a tub mid-type), but that really seems to be so important to Idol doesn't it? That said, I can easily see Crystal and Big Mike being the F2 since I think they are SOOO much better than the rest. But I'm not sure I agree w/your outcome. Crystal has a pretty good backstory herself...struggling single Mom out to make a better life for her baby. And now we know about her health problems too. And to her credit she hasn't made it an issue or used it at all. I think if she can handle these stupid theme weeks (which is hardest for those with established strong sounds like she has), she may well come out on top. But truthfully, as I sort of alluded to in my earlier post, I am beginning to think Idol's true winner is the runner up. They get all the fame, and none of the trash music they are then contracted to, so they can go put out some good music right away. So maybe the way to really win Idol is to be the runner up!!! LOL Then again, I thought Lilly would be top 5 or likely higher, so who the heck knows. Not sure the Tween demo will fall in love with either of those two

I am so sad that Alex, Lilly and even Katelyn are gone. I love Alex's voice! I can hear him on the radio and I hope he makes it! I was shocked that Lilly went. I was so nervous when Lee was one of the last ones left. Thank god he made it. I really wanted Andrew gone instead of Alex. I must have missed the story about Crystal's health problems. What's wrong?

Adam Lambert did quite well on theme nights, even when the theme wasn't anything that was in his own genre. He managed to turn every week's theme song into his own song. Not sorry to see Alex or Katelyn or Toddrick go. A bit surprised to see Lilly go, although I'm not so sure she was my top fave. I thought Katie should have gone instead. I think this season has way too many kids. These singers are too young, and for the most part, too boring. ETA: Skydiver, Crystal has diabetes, which apparently she has problems controlling. It's why that one week the boys sang on Tuesday rather than Wednesday, to give her a chance to recover so she could perform.

Finally found a show, besides Survivor, that I can get a little interested in. In the girls I really like Crystal and Siobhan, and in the guys I really like Big Mike and Casey, with a little enthusiasm for Aaron and Lee. The other six sound good, but to me they sound like something I can hear locally.......not prefessional recording artists. I'm not that use to this show, so I assume in about 6 weeks, those that are left will be showing more promise, or going down the tubes.

Yes, by about the final 6-8 you can really tell who has "it" and who doesn't -- it really starts getting competitive at that point. Usually there are 1-2 frontrunners. Think Lily going was a case of "everybody else is voting for her" -- there are far worse singers/performers at this point.

Lilly was a real shocker for me. She should have saved that "Patsy" song for country theme (banking that she would make it that far) and did something not so old. Oh well - she'll be more famous now than b/4 so I hope she can make a living doing what she is so good at. A little shocked about Alex: His voice is so unique. I don't think the mullet hair did him any favors. He was prob. in the tween getter votes. Tim & Aaron just have more appeal I guess to that age group. I felt for sure Paige would go and don't look for her to go much further in the comp.

I didn't like the Patsy song when she sang it. It's one of the performances that I actually remember from the girls. Unfortunately, singing in the last spot, everyone would remember it. After she was booted, I was sort of shocked by her comment "I don't know what America wants". Maybe she just got caught up in trying to please America, rather than just singing.
