Lol, Beth..guess we offset each other. I did the same thing for Austin. I didn't really like him before, but last night he let his hair down a little and of the real Austin, rather than performer Austin, came out. I thought Mr. Marshall gave him great advice to do/sing everything from now on as Danny.

I wouldn't mind if Derek won either. I just don't want Max. He would be fine as one of the background guys, but I just don't see him as lead material at this time.

All 3 are good. The only thing that really bothers me with Austin and Max, specifically, is that they play to the camera quite a bit. I realize that this is a TV show, but if you were really singing on Broadway your eyes and performance would not follow the camera.
It's one of my pet peeves with this show and AI too.

We are favouring Max and Laura in our house. Max has really evolved during the process of this long audition. We think Laura has more personality than the two blondes. I really don't like the muscle guy's chances of being a great Danny. He seems to have an air of arrogance about him. I do like Austin but I don't think he's Danny. Danny is comical and a tease - I think Max can do it.

i never thought Max could do it but always liked him, but now he really could. He was the best again. He does seem less 'acty' then the others for sure.. I always thought it would be Derek for sure, but you cant sing several shows a week if you crack.. And Austin is SO not Danny. He is just wrong and way too pretty. I have never never liked Laura at all and really dont want her to win. I also dont get the big deal everyone makes about her being atypical for Sandy. She just has to die her hair blonde to look like the rest of them. its a non issue..I guess i would go with AshleyMegRyan. Although it woud be fun if Allie and Max got it. It would be fun to see what it does to their relationship to be together day and nite on stage. I also compared Allie to Kelly, but you cant really fault her. they all have that broadway style of singing, which is way different than Idol style. All these Broadway singers seem to do is hold their arms out to the side.. I still miss RockerSandy. She was different..and very talented.

Nobody's watching tonight, either? We are having it pre-empted because of a murder trial of Steven Avery and the jury decided to give their verdict an hour ago. Sheesh...really odd time and day for a jury verdict. This is the guy who was released from prison a couple of years ago because DNA proved he didn't rape the woman he was in prison for raping in 1985; however, he had raped women. He gets out of prison and kills a woman who went to his house on the pretext of taking a pic of a car he had for sale. She worked for a local paper.

NBC says they are working on when to air the pre-empted show, but don't know right now. I was wondering which two gals are in the bottom two.

Derek and Allie are gone. The judges are leaning towards Max and Laura.

I definitely watched tonight and LOVED it! Somehow through this process, they have come down to a great final four!

PS I loved Derek's wink at the very end: perfect timing!

Oh, Color..I didn't want to hear that. I heard Austin/Ashley sing and then the news cut in again. I'm glad you posted it; just wanted to see different names, lol.

Beth, how do you think Max did with Laura? Did they sing the same song Ashley/Derek did? From the little bit I heard Max sing the second duet with Ashley, I still don't think he has a great voice, nor is he Danny. Sometimes he moves awkwardly. I don't think Ashley has a chance, but it wouldn't be the greatest if she and Max won, because she is taller than him. I loved Austin/Laura together.

I would love to see Max and Laura win it. Don't mind if Austin wins it either. Not that keen on Ashley, though. I think America will vote Austin and Ashley for the win, though. Austin's voice is better than Max's but Max has more character and personality and would make a really fun Danny, IMO.

I think austin and laura or max and ashley should win as couples. I think that austin with ashley or max with laura just doesn't seem right. But they are all good. Max is my favorite!

IMO Max isn't quite good looking enough to take John Travolta's place as Danny. And I agree that I'd like the pairing of Laura and Austin better.

Exactly, Smartypants. I love the pairing of Laura/Austin. I agree that Austin just isn't Danny.

I'm so mad at out television station because they aren't running it tonight. Now, no one in WI can vote, because I don't know the numbers of the contestants. They are running Dateline later..big deal. Sheesh, the verdict was made public a whole hour before Grease started. This is overkill. They also cut into deal several times..2 hours later. Enough already.

Does anyone remember what Austin's number was? I want to vote for him so hopefully he will beat out Max. I think Laura will win for the gals.

I'm sure the contestants are probably told to tell their own personal sob stories, but it all seems very fake, even though they were probably sincere.

Cricket, Ashley and Austin as a pair, and then Max and Laura both sang Endless Love. Then Austin and Laura as a couple and Max and Ashley sang Time of My Life. I prefer Max and Laura separately, but as a couple I'm not so sure. I think as a couple I prefer Austin and Laura, somehow, as likeable as Max is, he just doesn't seem a Danny.

Phone numbers are (although it might be too late for some, I'm watching it in CA and taped):

Laura: 1 888 486 8301
Ashley: 1 888 486 8302
Austin: 1 888 486 8303
Max: 1 888 486 8304

Thanks so much, Kitt..I'll try calling now. Hopefully they give at least 2 hours after PST like AI does.

I so agree with you about Max as Danny. It's Kathleen Marshall that has been pushing him so hard. I like both Derek and Chad over him for Danny. He and Laura don't fit; whereas she fits better with Austin. I wish they had done the trading off of pairs with 8 people left. It would've helped a lot.

I think Max is a more fun personality to play Danny. And, though gay, I think Austin makes a very convincing straight leading man. He does look darned hot but not sure he would be a great Danny. He would be better on Miss Saigon.

I think either Max and Austin are pretty close, Max has the better personality, but Austin edges out Max on the singing so for me it is a hard decision. Laura and Ashley are pretty even too. I would go with Ashley only because (IMO, of course)I noticed during the duets that she comfortable with either Max or Austin. With Laura it looked like she really strained to try to look comfortable with Max, but with Austin she didn't. Not sure if I am explaining this right, but it just looked like it came across that Laura was attracted to Austin but not Max and just couldn't pull off it. So I was thinking for the acting part, if Laura happened to not like who she would be playing against, she would not be able to "fake" it as having a chemistry there. Not sure if this makes sense, or if someone else noticed this and can explain it better than I did.

I just got an email from a distant cousin who asked us all to vote for Laura. My Mom said "Oh, yeah, she went to Norway with us when she was younger for a family reunion." COOL!!!!

This is the same family that has another rather famous actor in it. Wish they weren't such distant cousins.

I love this show.

I'm for Laura and Austin to win.

Sandy probably doesn't really have to be blonde and Danny probably doean't have to be burnette. Even if they do, give Miss Clariol a call and all will be well. Oliva and John already played these roles, let's not get too locked in to this kind of typecasting.

Personnally, I think Laura & Max are best suited to play Sandy and Danny. They both have very good voices and the fun aspect needed for these roles. Ashley appears too plastic and Austin is too old and controlled. Yes, I know the movie cast had already attended a high school renunion or two or had been kept back an amazing number of times as they had kissed their teens away long ago. The only reason it worked is that they were all about the same age.

I called several times and never received a busy signal. I hope it meant multiple lines available. Anyway, we shall see next week.

I wonder if they would ever tour with the broadway cast that America chose? Or at least the 2 leads.
Maybe they could do a PBS broadcast or a live one shown at the movie theatre as they are doing with some of the Met operas.

I don't care at all for Max, but all the judges seem to have annointed him winner already :-(

But I've never voted and managed to have the show somehow get dropped off both DVRs so missed the episode where Chad left. Read about it in our newspaper, since he went to OC School of Performing Arts.

I didn't like Max at all at first but as the show has progressed I've come to like him more and more to the point that I hope he can win.

With respect to the women, I know it sounds shallow but I'm having a lot of problem getting past the idea of a brunette Sandy.
