Ahh, that's right, Kookliebird. It's his money..I forgot. I hope he's happy with the ones America picks and also listens to the input of the other 2 Judges.

I wonder how many people actually voted for this. I've only just seen the show, or I might have done. I guess we don't see who's out until the next show?? Those two extras were definitely the weakest, but did they have all the practice time of the others? They might have only been told a couple of weeks ago that they were back on the show when the producers realised they were popular with the audience. They have a bit of a disadvantage if that is the case - however I'm not sure it would have made that much difference. ETA: just watching the closing number with all 14 - I guess they did have a chance to practice together!

Kitt, I wondered about that too at first, but later I got the impression that the two brought back got the full Grease camp experience like the others.

Maybe they brought those two back to have some first round "easy outs," so as to give the rest of the contestants more face time, and the voting audience more time to get to "know" all of them?

I think Austin is too buff for the fifties. Guys back then didn't have bodies like that...He needs to "soften up some

I agree, Jenny. I also don't like to watch Austin play to the camera like he does. Just seems that he is a little too full of himself. I'd rather see a newbie make it.

It's possible the judges are looking more at the personality of the performers and maybe looking at matching the right Sandy to the right Danny.

Thanks for the info Colordeagua, I wondered why they had said "back in TWO weeks." So far definite favorites for Sandy are Kate (wow the voice) and Ashley S. (personality/persona are right on the money for Sandy). More conflicted about the Danny character: favorite is probably Derek for look and character, like Austin but not sure he's a real fit, liked Max better than I thought I would...he's actually growing on me, as is the tall lanky brown-haired one toward the end whose name i forget :-(. I'm wondering when we will start to see them in PAIRS, as the pairing is as important as anything. I didn't vote this time; got torn away by other business right after show ended, plus probably waiting to see if there is just one I really feel passionate about.

I haven't even watched this show, but the guy, Kevin, is from my town, Greece, NY..aka Rochester, NY. They've had a few notes about him in the paper. I'm going to read back now and see if anyone likes him here. LOL

Ok, I just read back and the only mention I saw of Kevin is that he'll probably be one of the first voted off. Oh well..so much for the hometown guy! LOL

Kevin...he's the one who's name I couldn't think of above: he doesn't look as physically the part, and until tonight had wondered what he was doing there...but he really brought it tonight and I hope he stays. I'm not sure of the guys I would want to go....I would even like to see if Matt could grow given one more week. I think maybe Jason would be my pick to send home...he seems a little "old" for the part somehow, or somethings just not right...maybe what the judge said about his being too "modern" and boy band and not enough depth. But so far I wouldn't believe him as Danny, although performing style is good.

She was absolutely fantastic!!! Almost all the contestants in this competition are excellent. How come AI can't get a Final 12 like this group?

Lexie_girl, I completely agree. AI makes us wade through weeks of garbage and these guys had a show the 2nd week, with everyone sounding fine. I was shocked to read the TVGuide reviewer for next week, saying this show couldn't compare to the talent they find on AI. They need a new reviewer. She was totally off base. It's quite the opposite.

I thought they were a little hard on the girl that sang Don't Cry For Me Argentina. I thought she did a wonderful job with it. Exactly Cricket. Out of AI's Final 12, you will have probably 3-4 really standout singers. Every one of these singers could do Broadway (some in minor roles, some with bigger roles).

I was very much enjoying the show tonight, and I agree totally re "Don't cry for me Argentina"--Julianna went up a notch in my opinion when she literally gave me shivers at one point-- anyway, I was very much enjoying the show and then they violated their own rules: they said (1) that America was going to make the decision and (2) oops, well, not America exactly, there was going to be a sing-off between the bottom two and then BASED ON THEIR SING-OFF PERFORMANCES, the 3 judges would decide who would go and who would stay. Well, albeit they gave bad performances last week, I thought Ashley and Matt knocked it out of the park tonight. BUT judges weren't basing it on tonight, they got rid of them based on "Broadway isn't for beginners." It was so apparent that Matt really had the crowd going, while Jason just doesn't do it for me at all. And Ashley really surprised me tonight. Anyway, amazingly, America had chosen my least favorites (Jason and Allie) as the bottom two, and when Jason started to sing just now, I turned off the TV and came here. I was disgusted, and had no desire to hear either him or Allie sing. There's something wrong with this setup that it so much turned me off.

I agree...I thought Ashley and Matt did a great job with their "sing offs". I knew, however, the judges would let them go based on past performance.

Hi Lori, thanks for agreeing. And you would have thought I would have been "suspect". I was surprised at the intensity of my reaction. (I also lost my desire to vote tonight; I had planned to give it a shot.) But it was ANNOUNCED that Jason and Allie had the lowest votes; that was reinforced by their performances in sing-off, and I just had no desire to hear Jason and Allie again! They need to change something in their format, or I believe they will lose more viewers. It's odd that the producer said they had no idea why Allie ended up in the bottom, but I remember last week she didn't grab me in performance, and then constantly talked about her best attribute as being "young" (19 yrs if I remember correctly.) By the way, does anyone remember, was Tears on My Pillow also the song used for the "instant dismisal tap-on-the-shoulder" number at Grease Academy?

Laura was really good (JC Superstar). It seems to me that Broadway singers have a different vocalization than regular singers. Even though they have microphones, there's a projection thing (or something like that) that goes into the performance so that everyone in the theater is impacted by the performance. I don't always see that in the AI performances. They sing more into the microphone. So maybe that's part of the difference that TV Guide is seeing. (or something like that)
