I just thought I'd mention the show went over at least 2 minutes, in case anybody on the other coast wants to go adjust their dvr. You would miss seeing the judges tell Didi they aren't going to save her.

I'm glad you posted, Naja. My tv cut off the end due to the 2 minutes over. I figued they weren't going to save her, but wasn't sure till I read it here. Thanks! No surprises with Didi going. Tim really is "Teflon Tim".

Yup. That's what happened to me Naja so I came here to find out. Thanks Naja. I will miss Didi. I really loved her voice. Sometimes, like last night she didn't do that great but her voice is so unique and sweet. I hope she makes it like Kellie Pickler did! I am looking forward to hearing her on the radio some day!

You're welcome, Smokey and Sky. I didn't think Didi was the best singer, but did think she was the prettiest girl of the whole top 24. She sort of mesmerized me during some shows with how pretty she is.

bottom 3 were the right bottom 3. I'm WAY ok with her going hom & Katie can go next wk as far as I care. Tim can go later........he can't win.....we all know that. He just needs to stay at least another 2 wks because of his positive personality - - - - - - - - and I like how it irritates the judges that he is still there

I know me too Tex! Kara was trying to coax him into feeling bad about being so upbeat in the face of his mediocre talent---but nope lol. I take perverse joy in the fact that Tim's still there. The whole thing is such a fake production anyway, it's hard to take too seriously. He's probably no worse than a lot of teen hearthrob types. I loved Didi too and she seems like a genuinely sweet person, she just needed a bit more vocal talent. Shame that's one thing that you can only stretch so far. ETA It's been going around that Ryan has a crush on her, that's what they've been joking around about this week.

I also agree regarding Tim - I felt bad for him last week when Kara kept telling him: You're not a star! I think I knew what she was getting at but it just seemed mean- and I usually agree with Simon a lot!

Ah, thanks, Ladytex.. I knew Black Eyed Peas were in LA in concert .. one of the physician's assistants I met last week who was giving chemo to one of my patients was going to the concert this week and also to the Paul McCartney concert and she was naturally excited. I have to say that for once, it was nice to have performers putting on positive performances.. Ruben, Usher, Diddy.. Oh My GOSH wasn't it nice! (and I really don't know if those were cleaned up lyrics but didn't get that vibe). And some of the kids on that stage could take a page from Diddy's book.. you know he was there promoting his product but he was positive and thankful and giving thanks for the opportunity. now of course none of them was being critiqued by judges.. And Ryan, good grief, he's really becoming insufferable, almost like he thinks this is THE RYAN SEACREST SHOW with the judges just there for him to mock and it really kills the show for me. And once again he dragged it out so that the end was cut off.. so until I scroll back up, I still might think Didi was saved. I'm okay with any of those three going, but wished it was Tim. I mean, why IS he so upbeat and why on earth isn't he listening to the critiques and at least trying to grow? That is the opportunity IMO, not that he's this superstar getting exposure. Sheesh. There is positive and there is delusional or.. clueless. But Didi seemed almost as clueless anyway, so buh bye. As for Katie, you kow, Simon isn't always wrong and what if she tried a country song and was great?? Carrie and Kellie are doing well, ya know.. but pitchy doesn't always work no matter what the genre..

I couldn't agree with you more Seamonkey. I was very uncomfortable watching Ryan trying to "take over" the entire show by bullying Simon. It's time for him to be put back into his place as the host. I think Simon puts up with a lot of teasing from Ryan and the other judges, but for some reason Ryan is "stepping up his game" this season and it's not entertaining from my point of view. The only thing I can figure is that perhaps Ryan is trying to get himself inserted into that judge’s seat once Simon leaves the show. Whatever his agenda is, he needs to stop and go back to just being the host.....or move on so that someone who can do that job without the overstuffed ego can come in and do it.

My favorite moment of the night was when Big Mike picked up Ryan for an almost bodyslam! I wonder if he gave him a good wedgie doing that. And Sea, ITA, Ryan is becoming very annoying and Simon telling him he was really getting on his nerves and to back off was priceless. Then he turned to Kara and mouthed what is the matter with him (Ryan) tonight? The show could be cut to 30 minutes easy if they had Ryan stop his annoying shtick. To borrow a term from Simon, Ryan's whole routine is very self-indulgent.

I don't think Ryan has any say in that "schtick" he does with Simon. I think the producers put him up to it. This show has been going over forever. I always program it for an extra 5 minutes. The worst was the finale a couple of years ago when it was the two Davids (Cook & Archuletta). Ryan said, "And the winner is . . . David . . ." and the dvr cut off. Arghhhh!!! I think the right person went home. Didi was beautiful, but seemed kind of cold. She just didn't seem to have a lot of personality going on. DH thinks she might have gotten a few more votes if she'd shared why that song was so special to her. She was just too reserved. I still think Ryan has a little crush on her. And though I'm not a big Shiobhon fan (so tired of the shrieking-at least Adam Lambert shrieked on key), did they really need to spend 10 minutes tearing her apart? Poor girl still looked crushed on the results show. Hopefully it'll make her a better performer in the long run. Have never really heard much Usher, but I thought he was a class act on both shows. During his performance, my 9 year old pipes up, "He's a lot better than Miley Cyrus!" We enjoyed both Usher's and Diddy's performances. And I'm very proud of myself for recognizing will.i.am. Thought it was ironic that neither guy is known for being a great "singer" (would they make it on AI?), but they showed what a good performance looks like. Glad to see Ruben looking so much healthier, too!

Yep Ryan - what is going on with him? He's always tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to get one over on Simon, but now he seems to be embarassing the contestants too. Didi clearly didn't want to share whatever personal info Ryan knew, but he kept on at it. And he keeps pointing out when people are ill when they all seem to want to not say they are for fear it will be seen as trying to get a sympathy vote. He really needs to dial back the ego. I guess it was as much Didi's time to go as anybody's. I like her but sometimes her intonation seems very copycat and it bugs me.

Another poster here thanking Naja! My dvr cut off before To save or not to... drama. I had some dim hope Didi might be spared even though I'm not a complete fan. Agree w/Sea about Ryan. I'm glad I didn't have to watch him in real time. Thanks again Naja!

I do, Ladytex! I liked Usher's dancing but his singing seemed off. I really enjoyed Diddy's performance.

For anyone that was as annoyed as I was about what was going on with Ryan and Simon this week (let's face it - Ryan was really over the top in Simon's face), I heard this a.m. on Kidd Kraddock's "Top Five" that Ryan and Didi are dating.

That is surprising because Ryan said in his Oprah interview that there are rules against dating the contestants.

I think Ryan's head is SO inflated he doesn't think the rules are made for him.. But remember it is also April Fool's Day.. Could be he was running with the rumors too. I never thought they'd save Didi at this point or any point.. well I guess if she was left with Tim and certain others. And when they do a save it is really a sick feeling the next week when two people have to go with no possible save. So they don't want to do it too soon.

Mak, they said on Kidd Kraddock there is speculation that Didi tanked her performance because she was dating Ryan and she knew she wouldn't win.

Did anyone else think that Ryan seemed a little bit tipsy? His face was red, and he seemed a bit drunk to me. Also, he made a remark to Reuben - when Reuben said he was going out on tour with Clay Aiken, Ryan said, "Oh the Claymates will be happy" I guess that Reuben was a little put off, and she said "Well Reuben has fans too". Was a quick comment, but I think it was not very nice. Ryan just seemed off to me

Lexie, it makes you wonder about all that goes on behind the scenes, doesn't it? I don't know, Ginger, but he did seem more full of himself than usual. I did notice that stupid comment about the Claymates, and Ruben's response. I felt Ryan's comment was very disrespectful to Ruben and his fans.

I don't think Didi tanked her performance, she may secretly be dating Ryan but I doubt she wanted to be voted out this week for any reason. It's not like she was some mega-singer before and her save-song was really bad in comparison. It was pretty on par with her past performances. I think Ryan was being glib in his convo with Ruben and was looking for a reason to use the phrase "Claymates." Insensitive to Ruben maybe, but I don't think it was intended that way.

I think Ryan gets a bit too much of the testosterone going after any sort of run in with Simon, or just when he's plotting having a run in with Simon, and he gets a bit hyper and says thoughtless things. Someone needs to have a word with him.
