Ok, well, watched it 3 times, and in slow mo - I'd have to say, although Brandy tried really hard to squeeze a couple out, she was unable to produce any actual moisture. I thought I caught Jessica in an "eye-wipe" after the group hugs, but it was actually just a move the bangs maneuver .. I'd have to call it a dry eyed event.

Ok, Thanks Kellirippa.

So unless I get a rash of complaints, I'm going to go with dry event. If need be, we can argue about the merits and weighting of a quivering lip later. :-)

OK, now I get it, I checked the mirror site and the site has been down..

Well, I liked the group tonight. I loved Kalan, but I haven't been able to get through to make a vote for him (he auditioned here in Edmonton, he's from Medicine Hat), so I guess LL's regional voting is alive and well, or, as I prefer to believe he really was everybody's favorite. So my second choice is the effeminate guy, Mark Levesque, and I've gotten through to vote for him everytime.

I thought Liz, Kaleb, Mark and Kalan were the strongest..

guess I'll stop talking to myself now

AMAZING no one is here! Well, I felt strongly enough to place multiple votes tonight. WOW there were some tough competitors on the show tonight.

That sweet innocent boyish face with blonde curls and a GREAT voice is going to get tons of young girls calling in for him tonight.

I will be shocked if he doesnt make the top TEN.....but I didnt call in and vote for him. Kaleb simmonds?? did an excellent job and I voted a couple of times for him. I can see why the judges kept him even though he went completely blank during the Duets. I feel Kaleb and Mohawna (!!SP) did the best. I was disappointed in mohawna's song choice though.
*****
I was a big fan of the girl from Vancouver until I saw her hopping around the stage singing a sad song like it was a show tune!!! The judges all said she was a real performer......but that isnt what this show is supposed to be about in my opinion. SIGH!!

I'm sorry. I just don't get Kaleb. To me he sounds disjointed and off key Being from Dartmouth, I really wished I did like him so I could vote for a home town boy. Really liked Kalan and hope he makes it to the top 10. I got in about 10 votes for him while they were doing the review of the singers

i loved kalan as well, he's as cute as a button and a great voice. I bet if Simon was watching he wished he had him for american idol, I think he's probably what he had in mind when trying to make an idol. ;)

I worked late last night so watched this inf front of the tube while eating dinner, not sure if the site was back up at 8 anyways.

I thought Anna sounded horrible, her whole sone seemed off key to me. The rest were alright. Mohanza, Liz, Kalan and Kaleb were he best, tight race I think. I can see all the young girls swooning for Kalan. I voted for Mohanza and Liz, alas in the second hour when I voted I had not problem with busy lines for either of them.

fingers crossed

It just wasn't the same watching the show last night without this group! My concern is, will everyone realize the board is back up (it was down for most of Tuesday and Wednesday) and be able to get their picks in, or should we postpone it this week? I remember last week many submitted their picks after the show - not during results day. Best I can figure from the message on the mirror site, the board was not working until just before midnight board time (3 am EDT).

I agree with you Tatyana, I think Kalab is exactly what the idol shows are all about. He's 18, nice and young for the teenage girls, but not bubble-gum young like John Stevens was, he's delicious to look at and he's got the pipes. I really think this guy is going to take the whole thing.

I think if this kid could win and go to world idol, the whole world would fall in love with him! That guy that won WI last year had a good voice and charming personality, but yeesh...looked like he came in 2nd in a hatchet fight!

My top three pick from last night were Kalan, Kaleb and Liz.
Although Mark could get through on the cute boy thing. I mean he was good but thought the other three were better.
The girl from Vancouver that the judges all thought was good (Zack said she was crazy), I didn't like it at all.

I think we'll go ahead with the picks, most people will check at some point today to see if it is up.

I just posted mine, Jasper. I missed this board during the show...and I didn't get to cast a single vote!

IMO this was a much better group of 8. A lot of good performances and I bet many of them will be coming back for the wildcard. Kalan was surprisingly good (at least it was surprising to me). I knew he had the looks and a decent voice but I didn’t realize he is such a strong singer. I really liked Elena (the girl from Vancouver), but then at this point, after seeing so many so so cookie cutter performances on both CI and AI, I like anyone who is a bit different and shows some personality (and can sing).

I really missed discussing this when the board was down. Being able to discuss it with everyone here is one of the most fun parts of watching these shows.

"Ain't" it the truth, Jimmer. I found myself reading a book while watching. THen I thought I would wait a half hour before I tried to vote..and got so caught up in the book, I FORGOT TO VOTE altogether! At least when I am posting here, I remember to do my duty :-):-)

PS the book is Kathy Reichs new one, Monday Mourning, and it was excellent, IMHO

I could post my thoughts, or just direct you to Jimmers post. That sums it up for me as well. :-)

Something is defintely missing without the chat.

I was wondering what was going on last night! Glad to see the board is back up and running.

For me the standout performances last night where Liz and Kalan. The other ones for the most part were decent, but didn't really have that extra something. I think Kalan has the Clay Aiken factor (a sort of geeky guy with a great big voice), except Kalan is a little more shy.

I think the judges are on crack. I can't remember who, but one of them told Elena she gave the best performance of the last 2 weeks. I thought she had an okay voice and a cute personality but her dancing was so awkward it was distracting. Oh yeah, I also enjoyed Mark's performance but I don't know if he has a chance tonight. Maybe we'll see him back for the wildcard.

Question: Was Anna Josh's "girlfriend" from the top 100? I think it was her but I can't quite remember.
