The thing is if the dude doesn't sing, then he isn't gonna go far. He has to have musicality. And that comes from understanding MUSIC!

I only watched this show last week and I was NOT impressed with the little brat. Not invested at all in this show but was glad to hear he was gone.

Lostfan, did Drew sing with Stevie Wonder? I don't 'sing' either but if I had a chance to sing a couple bars of Smile Please (or any other song)with Stevie Wonder...I wouldn't say no. lol

I wonder (no pun intended) if Steve now has the same opinion of Astro that the rest of us have. That young boy sure does need to take it down a notch and gain a little humility and count his blessings. He's had more opportunity than most kids his age and he should embrace all the experiences with a happy heart.

I finally watched what I had managed to record of this show.. Paula should have let the decision go with the home votes... wonder how those went? Think she was just feeling her power over Simon at that point. Nicole, I just try to ignore.

I just read this interview with Astro - wow, why does he think he has the most fans of all of the contestants? wth

Reality TV World: When you were in the bottom two but survived a few days ago, you suggested that you hadn't really been in the bottom two and that the producers were just punishing you over another incident. Now that you've been eliminated, do you still feel that way and believe you weren't legitimately in the bottom two that week or not? -

"Astro" Brian Bradley: I wasn't even in the bottom two. I was in the bottom three and I was voted off. I don't know. I still don't understand how you can have the most followers on the show [on Twitter] and then get voted in the bottom with the least amount of votes.

Well, in my opinion he used the word "humbled" a few too many times. I don't really believe that. And, his command of the language is really lacking, IMHO. Not very eloquent nor expressive; too bad a "song" writer/rapper can't put together words better than that.

He thinks Kayne West will reach out to him eventually? Get a grip Astro. You are not all that and a bag of chips!

Poor kids these days who believe social media is life: if he has twitter followers who love him then surely everyone must love him.

I feel sorry for him really, he's going to get a big reality check and one day might realise that his let's call it "youthful bravado" during the competition might have sealed his own fate.

I think he does have an unusual amount of talent for rapping his own songs, so maybe someone will actually take him under their wing and see if they can create a likeable artist out of him. Got to wish him the best.

Kitt, you are too generous. I wonder how many other kids are out there who rap and write their own songs and who would be oh so much more likable! I do wish he gets a reality check, but I doubt whether he will. He's just not open to the idea of growth, IMHO.

Well, he is gone and that is good! I don't care for rap one bit, but....most famous rap stars can also sing at least a little bit. Astro couldn't, & wouldn't even sign a note.......tells me this kid wasn't & isn't ready to be a star!

He is just clueless. He really showed how immature he is. Some kids at his age are very mature, some are not. He just seems to be so unaware of the world and how it works.

A lot of people thought his apology was insincere and he appeared very sullen. Again, his age. He had the typical teen attitude when he didn't get his way. You know the one, the shrug and the "whatever."

Well, Astro has had alot of exposure now, he's fresh on people's minds. If his handlers (I assume are his parents right now) want to actually make a star out of this kid & his talent, they need to get him a personality coach! And, they need to get this coach before they proceed in putting this young man out for public judgement. The kid is cute & talented in what he does.........but, WE don't need a little boy diva!

I think we will see just how sincere LA was in his professed admiration for Astro. He has the ability to give the kid the exposure he will need to make it big. Let's see if he does it.

Hate to say it but from the singing little Rachel should be in the bottom two tomorrow. Marcus was better than he has been the last two weeks, but I'd put him with her (and he's more likely to go home if the judges have to choose between those two). She has so much talent but the singers behind her just drown her out.

OK so this is how I see the producers setting up the final three. Please note this is just my opinion and if I am correct I will never watch this show again.

The final three will be Josh, Marcus and Melanie. So each of the three judges have one person left. Josh will be out third so the final two will be Marcus and Melanie or more importantly LA and Simon. There will be lots of bickering between the two with the ladies siding with LA. In the end Simon will win (Melanie).

Josh will be given a contract by someone and so will Rachel (I hear Disney is courting her). I have no idea about Chris so he will prob just fade away.

Side note:

Astro will continue to be Astro and get tons of publicity.

IMO Melanie is sooo much better than the rest - it should be really no contest. I hope it doesn't come down to a contest between the judges . . but I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

I think it is time for Marcus to go. He is good but not unique. I see Melanie, Josh and Rachel (maybe Chris?) as the final three. Chris sure pulled it off with his last song last night. Brilliant!

I am hoping Melanie wins. She has gained confidence and there is no one who can compete with the strength, clarity, beauty and gift of her voice. I think she has been consistently good.

I am getting tired of the judges. It was funny last night when Simon attributed a comment to Paula and Nicole was quick to step in to say it was her not Paula. Well, excuse me, but Nicole called Chris by the name Josh.......she doesn't get things right either, IMHO.

I know Melanie is the best singer there but I want Chris in the final. If he doesn't make it, I don't think he will just fade away though.

From what I remember someone saying, at top 3 (I think) it goes solely to viewer votes. Judges have no say.

This last season of the UK one the fourth person out was decided solely on viewer votes too. Usually (as far as I remember it = dodgy) it's only the final three.

I like the mixture of one week there's one out decided by the judges, then next week there are two out, one decided by the viewers and then one by the judges. It means less chance of a really good one going on a random bad week, but reduces the chance of a judge's favourite staying beyond their welcome. Well, mostly it does.
