How was Casey safe?? She was so unbelievably bad!

Oh, right. She cried. Nuff said.

I don't like to say it but I think it was the dreaded regional voting again. The Maritimer's really support their own contestants.

I feel pretty sorry for Casey actually. I thought she sang very well during the quarter-finals and deserved to be in the top ten. However, the nerves got to her tonight and she picked a bad song to sing (I think I said before that Shania even sounds off-key when she sings it). Anyway, the judges will be on a crusade to get her out now and it probably won't be pretty.

OH no, covering my eyes when I read about the regional voting thing. I didn't vote for Casey, I didn't vote for Rex, I didn't vote for any of them. For all we know Casey could have been bottom 4. I think what happened to Melissa was that the vote was split for her and Ashley, they are very much alike.

I don't think Melissa needs to worry anymore, her fans just got a wakeup call, I know I did. My favorites are Amber for her voice , Melissa and Rex for their energy and personality. The rest are just meh to me. Just please make Josh go away. I am scared it is just like Ryan Malcolm all over again, I wanted him gone from day one and he won the whole thing.

Ok now it is time for me to eat my words. Last year I hated Jacob because of his weirdness. I saw a clip of him with his band tonight and have to admit that I really liked them.

This is my first post and I don't want to ruffle any feathers but I do need to share my two cents on the "Regional Voting" issue. I live in Altantic Canada, and I did not vote for Casey. I appreciate the premise of the show and voted for the person who I thought performed the best, which I didn't think she did Tuesday night (but neither did I think she was the worst.)

However, I will say that I think Canada can see her potential - even Zach agrees she's a good singer but the nerves got the best of her. She's a beautiful, genuine, talented young girl who Canada decided to give another chance. If you read her profile, she seems very mature and Canada, I believe, wants an idol with talent but also with heart. We've seen so many talented people grow on CI and we've seen other really great singers go home unexpectedly.

There could've been several reasons for the voting results, but I highly doubt that it was regional voting. There is only 1500 people in Nackawic, 750,000 people in New Brunswick and only 2.3 million people in all four Atlantic Provinces combined - and you can bet Nfld phones were rightfully voting for Rex. Compared to 12 million people in Ontario, 7.5 million in Quebec and 4.1 million in BC and 3.1 million in Alberta, I think we have a very small piece of the pie.

I guess that might have been a bit more than two cents ;)

Hey Goldsam, I explained all this last year, doesn't help. lol

Guess everyone thinks that we maritimers have nothing else going on so this is a big deal. It's not. lol

I didn't vote for her either. Oh well, I think most of the "regional voting comments are just for fun cause of me the first year'. I really got my panties in a knot over it. Lol

Great bunch of people in the CI thread so don't worry about it, I am on your side. lol

What part of Atlantic Canada are you from, I live in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.

Yeah Goldsam, I really think that is just Jimmer's way of jokingly digging at LLK so don't take it seriously. Heck, if regional voting were really a threat in CI, then why do Toronto candidates ALWAYS lose!!!!

but one thing we do know is that the maritimes produce a heck of a lot of great singers and all of them seem to be 6 degrees of separation from LLK .

Welcome to the CI posting. why not try out the Game??

My Mom’s family is from Nova Scotia and as a kid I spent every summer down there for about 20 years. I just know how much Maritimers love the Maritimes and continue to do so even if they moved away a long time ago. I love it too. That said, I didn’t vote for Casey either.

Sorry if my regional voting post bothered anyone. I’d say I wasn’t trying to ruffle feathers either but it wouldn’t be quite true. There has been quite a bit of discussion about it in the past and I think many of us now find it amusing. Right LLK?

With regard to Casey, as I mentioned, I really enjoyed her performance in the quarterfinals. I thought that she had lovely tone and expression and I enjoyed the song she sang so I think she well deserves to be in the top ten. Her performance this week wasn’t very good but it’s also too bad that the judges seem to have it in for her. I just hope that it doesn’t get too rough for her in the coming weeks because it’s not nice when that happens.

"No offense to anyone that is inbred"!! LMAO!! I believe the politically correct term is genetically crossreferenced..

I missed the whole show last night and couldn't even get on here to check things out (huge thunderstorm)..
