Next week's theme is Rock n' Roll heaven. Songs by dead rockers. kinda surprised with the bottom 3, but a lot of people don't start watching this til Top 10 so they wouldn't know the great performances some of these guys have done already....

What is most surprising is that Mark didn't even make bottom 3. Sorry to see Adam go. He's not bad just hasn't got any "oomph". To me he always looked quite worried and never relaxed. So what's up for next week. Amberly doing Joplin? I think Sebastian will do some Jim Morrison, Earl can do Cobain. Theo doing Lennon on piano.

Mark is bad. He shouldn't have been in the top 10 or even the top 24. I can't say I'm all that upset about Adam leaving (though Mark clearly should have gone long ago). Adam did give a pretty entertaining performance this week (I think his best) but he hasn't shown a lot of singing ability.

I enjoyed the results show more than the performance show. I especially enjoyed the performances by the 2 groups of 3 guys. I was soooo disappointed Mark wasn't gone, but am not surprised at Adam leaving. He's just kinda flat.

I wasn't surprised at Mookie's being in the bottom 3...maybe I was just spoiled by Jordis' performance of that song on Rock Star INXS.

I thought the same thing Punkaroo. I couldn't help comparing it to Jordis.

I really loved Theo, Mookie, Earl and Amberly. I thought Drew and Mitch were pretty good. I felt so bad for Sebastian tonight, hopefully if he lasts through the next round he can pull it together.

I agree Stray. I think my love affair with Sebastian is about to end.

I am just seeing the talent this week, especially their spin on some classic songs..sorry Sebastian this could be your last week. He half way got the effect he wanted to produce I felt it, pity he couldn't hold it for entire song. This is Earl's to loose. I think final 3 are Mookie, Earl and Theo.

I didn't think Sebastian was as horrible as the judges made him out to be, but he wasn't very good. Drew looked like he was trying very hard to be more animated. It's too bad it isn't more natural for him. Mark told a sad, touching story about his father, but that wipe at his eye at the end of the song didn't ring true to me. His voice sounded better on that song, but it wasn't good. I love Jeff Healey's Angel Eyes. There should be some sort of punishment for the way Mitch performed it. I agree with Zach on that one. Trini, I agree with your final 3. I do think Amberly has a lovely voice but hasn't had a great performance. Earl is still my all-around favorite.

Earl is fun to watch and he is an entertaining performer. I like Amberly a lot but I agree that she hasn't had a real breakout performance yet. Sebastian wasn't nearly as bad as the judges are saying. I'm not sure why but it is clear that they have decided to target him. They liked Mitch's performance and I thought it was dreadful. I absolutely love the song "Dance With my Father" and I was happy to see that Mark finally gave a non campy performance (though again I agree that the eye wipe at the end was questionable). So I didn't hate his performance this week. He still isn't very good though and should never have been in the top 10.

My two least favs last night were Sebastian and Mitch. I don't think Mitch even thought about the words to Angel Eyes while he sang it. It's one of my fav songs *ever* and I thought he ruined it with zero emotion. Of course I thought Earl was fantastic

I'm very disappointed. The voting on American Idol frustrates me occasionally but nothing compared to Canadian Idol.

While Mark was not at his worst, except for the non existing tear wipe, I'm not surprised he made it this round yet again after watching his mom get all teary and the dad lost his leg story. I wish I had had time to watch this prior to my guesses! Mitch, I just don't get what they find unique about him, I absolutely can't stand watching him while he sings. The performance of Drew's definitely did not ring true, I do like his voice though. I don't think we need to worry about Katherine, Zack was chomping at the bit to work with her. Sebastian better step it up next week. So far Earl and Mookie are the two I enjoy watching the most.

I'm not terribly disappointed about the results. I never could see all the fuss about Katherine, just not my type I guess. Sebastian dodged a big one and even he was surprised. I was, however, surprised with Amberly being in the bottom 3. I agree with Jasper's assessment of Mitch and Drew. Due to our Canadian geography we are always going to have the regional voting, especially in the early rounds. The Newfoundlanders are a proud people and very protective of their fellow citizens from the big rock. (I found that out when I lived in Fort McMurray!) Is it fair that Mark can stick around while someone like Oliver doesn't even make the top 10 - no, of course not. But until or unless TPTB change the voting format we are stuck with it. Go Earl and Theo!

Absolutely loved Earl and Theo tonight but voted Amberly as I'd like to see her go far.
