Well, as long as my favorite, Earl, didn't leave, I am just fine with how Canada is voting...LOL He did so well this week, I couldn't take my eyes off of him during his whole performance. A TRUE star. Win this for me, Earl!

Earl fascinates me. I love his voice, his interpretation, his overall performances, his personality. Like you said Naja, he is a True Star!

I had no idea Anne Murray had done all those songs... I was expecting someone to sing Snowbird!! LOL I thought Mitch and Drew both did well, really liked Earls first song, and felt pretty bad for him with the judges on his last one..OUCH! Think that really shook him up. Theo was great on both I thought! Man, I hope he wins this thing

Wonder what is bothering Earl. When questioned as to whether he really wanted to be there, he answered, "nah, that isn't it." Is the stress starting to get to him? I didn't mind his second song but it certainly wasn't his best. I thought Mitch did just okay, Drew was good and Theo was great (although I could have done without the piano theatrics ).

I am so sorry Earl was so out off it last night; yet I think I saw what caused it. Earl was himself while he was singing at the intro just before Ann made her observation of him during the rehearsal. Earl took her comments seriously it truly affected him; he even tried to change his style by singing with his eyes open looking at the audience. Ann should understand Earl is at his best when he is seeing with his eyes shut; he sees us better and we feel him more. If you observed after Ann in all her wisdom said to him “open your eyes you have an audience” Earl said yes, but the look on his face said, but I don’t see anything when I open my eyes. During his performance he was completely off balance nothing meshed, he couldn’t dance, sing, feel and look at the audience at same time. Nothing worked last night it was felt and it showed, even the judges couldn’t put a finger on it or if they did wouldn’t say and want to offend Ann. In all her wisdom again messed with Mitch and his breathing, his lack of proper breathing at places in his past performance made him unique. He couldn’t learn and adapt to proper breathing techniques in 1 hour and perform like a pro; Mitch was off his game as well. Sorry to say Mitch or Earl will be going home. I am so upset. Thanks Ann!!!

That's a very good observation, Trini. I've seen that time and time again with American Idol contestants. They decide to give them "professional advice" and the contestants: a) Change the style that made them appealing to their fans in the first place b) Concentrate so hard on changing that their performance suffers c) Simply get completely confused d) All of the above. Yuck!!! When will people ever learn that it is the imperfections or quirks of some of the most successful performers that gives them their unique appeal?

Argh! That is so frustrating!!! I'm going to miss him. No use crying over spilled milk but I think Amberly would have done so well both in Beatles week and with the Anne Murray song selection. It's a shame she couldn't make it to those two weeks. I would have loved to have seen what she would have done.

I was hoping the top 3 would be Theo, Earl and Mookie.

I was with you all the way Miz. I miss Amberly. I can't believe how much strong support one person receives on this forum yet the rest of the country sees differently. The vast majority of us liked Earl, he got an enthusiastic response during his performance yet he doesn't get the votes. If Theo doesn't win it all then something's not right.

Because there is voting involved, in order to succeed you have to appear to want to win. I don't know what happened to Earl on Monday (though I suspect our speculation above is fairly reasonable) but Earl did not "campaign" at all for votes. Even worse, when they openly suggested that it seemed that he wanted to be somewhere else, he didn't make much of an attempt to deny it. Dialing a phone is not a lot of fun and if the contestant doesn't appear enthused, his fans aren't as motivated to vote for him. The same thing happened with Billy Klippert in Season 1 and Jacob Hoggard in Season 2 though I think Jacob truly didn't want to win.

Woo! GO MITCH GO!! I hope this doesn't end in a repeat of Ryan Malcom/Gary Beals final where after pushing Gary so far, the east coast LOST OUT. PS - Sadly, I still knew both their names even after all this time (5 years) and didn't even have to look them up. *sigh* LOL

To date Mitch is my next best, something about him. Maybe is the opposite side of Earl..

I didn't like Mitch's earlier performances at all and I'll admit that I was pretty frustrated that he was hanging around when some others were leaving. However, I've started to enjoy his later performances. He is kind of unique.

Jimmer, I feel the same way about Mitch. I have fast-forwarded through most of his performances because I couldn't stand to hear that voice. This week, I was surprised to really like him. I still don't think I would like to hear his recorded voice, but I do get his appeal now. Dang, I'm going to miss Earl! I had the sinking feeling that he would be leaving this week. I was so heartsick over the past three eliminations that I wasn't going to watch anymore. Then I heard that Bryan Adams will be mentoring next week, so I'll be around for that. I loved his music so much!!

Nobody mentioned Earl's last song...I thought it was funny he was trying to get the audience to do a 'train' with him but nobody would. lol His last performance was more wacky didn't you think? P.S. He also looked bummed when he heard the next week was Bryan Adams.

I felt kind of bad for Earl when nobody would do his "train". It seemed like people just didn't get it. lol! Yes, it was more wacky. I thought he would do much more with that song.

I really liked Cuts Like A Knife by Drew and Heaven by Theo but don't think Mitch's voice suited the Bryan Adams songs.
