I saw it on www.imdb.com But mostly you can find spoilers at www.idolforums.com In fact that's likely where imdb got their's.

I didn't care for the new stage. Or maybe it was the camera work. The tappers were drowned out by the vocals. But overall it was pretty good.

I think Russell will be the first guy to go. I found many of the dances boring. I did like the set up dancing in threes.

I did not think the tutus were sexy. I agree that many of the dances were boring. I think one of the tap dancers will be the first to go.

I actually think that really arrogant tap dancer will be the first to go...but I think lots of people like Russell, so I suspect he will be around for awhile. I hope so, anyway. Count me as one of the ones that really like him!

Speaking of going...how are they going to work it tonight with eliminations??? I thought I heard Cat say that by the end of the night, two dancers would be gone. That doesn't really give the public a chance to call in and vote, does it?

Pamy, I don't think the setup was dancing in three's. It just worked out that way with three tappers, three hip hoppers, three ballroom, three jazz. Then there were the two four's for contemporary. Just sayin'. I did like how they let us see them in their own genre first before the competition started. I thought the stage and lighting were distracting, but again, this was a performance vs competition so maybe the lighting will be different when they start competing. I think the tappers are at a total disadvantage, for precisely the reasons Nigel said. They will never ever be able to dance in their own genre unless they are dancing for their lives. Too bad really.

Billy Bell is from same town in FL as me - they reported on our news this a.m. that he is out of the competition due to an illness. Just checking in to see if this is indeed true? I am very disapponted.

See, I think Russell will be there at the end. In my view, he has charisma that will carry him through some of the harder dance styles. It appeared they cut some of the comments when the group that included Billy Bell danced. Only Adam talked, then there was this awkward move to the next segment. Billy Bell did look outstanding, as long as he danced by himself. When he had to lift one of the girls, he struggled. Maybe he was already ill when this show was filmed.

I have heard that the judges will do the eliminations the first two weeks (due to baseball playoffs). I hope that Billy will be able to sit out this season and then return next season...I'm sure he will get an automatic pass through to Vegas at least.

I agree the staging was very distracting - especially for the three jazz girls - I was staring at the annoying moving lights on the back wall through the dance. I really hope they tone that down! Russell is my early favorite - he seems magical to me, the way he moves to the music! I also like Nathan and Ryan for the boys. Girls who have my early attention are Ellinore, Channing, and the Tap Dance girl (er, is that Bianca or Ariana???)

I didn't get to watch last night and didn't record it either. I am sorry Billy Bell is done! That was one of them that I actually remembered from tryouts that I liked a lot.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33485458/ns/entertainment-access_hollywood/ Just a snippet of this article.. On Monday afternoon, the Bell family reportedly posted a message on the dancer's Facebook page thanking fans for their support of the young man. “Billy’s family would like to thank all of his fans for the support they have shown him this season. Billy was released from the hospital today and is feeling better. Please respect the family’s privacy,” the statement read. “As of right now, Billy hopes to try out again for season 7… Thank you so much for sharing your love and support with our family! The Bell Family.”

How very sad. He was one of my faves. Obviously last night's show was pre-recorded. I thought the tap dancers were boring. It just didn't have the energy needed to make it a great routine. It really was nice to give them a chance to shine in their own genres before the eliminations start.

My early faves are Russell and Ryan for the boys and that short haired jazz dancer for the girls.

I enjoyed the first ensemble dance ver much and some of the other dances. I liked Noelle and Kathryn in their dance and Ryan, Ashleigh and Pauline were very good. Was Jakob the one without the coat (just a vest) in the beginning where the males danced? He stood out to me. He had very sharp movements.

Crap! When I typed I thought 'Russel' would be first out I typed wrong name! I really like Russell. The person I meant to say was Phillip, I think his days are numbered. I like Ashleigh but her days are numbered also. The thing with her constantly saying MINE MINE! about her man is annoying and stop pointing at your damn ring!

great dancing tonight but the judges (okay, NIGEL) have me fuming. First of all, okay I am well aware that they made Russell dance for his life just to show him dancing his freaking awesome solo, but still. that was ridiculous. And all Nigel can say to him is "Russell, we want to see you continue to dance other styles". umm, yes, well that is the format of the show and all... And then to poor cannon fodder Brandon, oh gee, uncle Nigel is going to talk to FOX to let him on the show next season?? Ummm, Nigel, sure, nevermind that FOX really doesn't care, since YOU are actually the producer and are the one who calls such shots but, sure, at least you didn't say you were going to go talk to yourself. Really, it's never a good thing to treat your audience like imbociles. Nigel, please stop doing it and let us just enjoy the dancing. thanks.

My favorite couple, at this early time, is Ryan and Ellenore. I like both of them separately and was very happy to see them paired. Nigel better leave my Russell alone. He's got at least 4 contemporary guys (that all dance alike, to me) to choose from.
