Simon seemed really upset that Drew was leaving. I can see him giving her a contract and really promoting her just to prove he was right. I hope he does. I imagine LA might do the same for Astro.

agree - but, who would want to buy anything by Astro?

I see Drew kinda as a modern day Stevie Nicks........She has her own style & sound. She might just really do good with the right mgmt.

Marcus: too many just like him already out there.

Hey, I really think that Marcus will get Astro's "true" voters. Marcus could easily be safe next wk. Like I've said before, I think that these 2 have fought each other for the same voter pool.

I would like F4 to be: Melanie, Josh, Rachael, Chris. Oops.........that means I want Marcus to go! Marcus should go next....if he is in the bottom next wk, I think he will go. Anything can happen though.

Wow, Simon sure was angry. I am really disappointed that Drew left, I loved her voice, I like Marcus too but I think Drew has much more potential and much more talent. I thought Drew did really well in her save me song, I thought Marcus kind of pitchy and yelling it a lot. I didnt get the connection thing they raved about, seemed a bit contrived to me.

I think Astro's votes will be split between Marcus and Chris, I don't think he has enough to make that big a difference anyway, I think Marcus should go next week based on talent and the fact that he was bottom 2 for 2 weeks in a row.

And this is why shows with children on them should be children only, she just could not handle the pressure, it was cruel to put her in that position. I remember when Gladys Knight was on American Juniors and she handled things much better. The pressure they put on adults is not good, but it is torture to a child.

I'm very close to being done with this one. It's over-produced, the judges are awful (not fun at all) and it verges on exploitive with the young age of some contestants.

I'm crushed, bawling my eyes out, sobbing with disappointment and you, dear host, have the nerve to ask me, one last time, How am I feeling? Do I have any last words?

COME ON.....can't you figure out how I might be feeling. Sheesh!!!
How uncomfortable with the way they treat these contestants. Aarrgghhhh!

Bad decision I think, although if she wasn't going to win (and I agree she wasn't) maybe it was kinder to do it now. It's all fun and games when the young ones are doing well but it's just awful when they're not. We've had all the ones 15 and under (Astro, Rachel, Drew) cry now, and one of them isn't even out of the show. I think if Simon wants to see a talent show with children in it he should do one for 12-16s or something like that, and not have such mean judges playing emotional games.

Marcus had been in the bottom two before, he singing wasn't good tonight, wasn't good yesterday, and wasn't particularly good the week before, but once Nicole and Paula fall in love with someone they don't seem to notice. I think he'll be bottom two next week and will finally go out... so at least Drew gets to not be tortured for any more weeks. Next week it will probably be poor Rachel's turn to be tortured.

I agree AuntieMike, it was awful to watch, and he not only asked her for her final words once but twice, what an ass.

I think Drew knew that she was going before she even sang, she knew tht LA and Nicole wouldn't keep her and probably not Paula, it was kind of obvious the way they picked at her week after week.

Finally goodbye Astro. I love Drew's voice and will miss hearing her each week. I do think, however, that Marcus outsung her in the save me song because Drew was too emotional. Talentwise, she is way beyond her age of 14, but when she was voted out, her youth showed when she couldn't stop crying. i felt bad for her especially because Simon took the blame.

I would love to see a Melanie/Josh finale.

LOL - What happened to all of Nicole's talk about "girl power"? What a bunch of bull!

I hate the way the judges are cruel, self-centered and mean and the host's idiocy and insensitivity especially when young contestants are involved. Is this what Simon wants in a show? Seriously? This show is making American Idol look good.

Is this Simons show? I think he to was pretty upset with how Nicole and LA treat the contestants - those 2 are just mean and are very unneccesary with there coments and those 2 consistatly bickering with Simon-

I think Simon will be making some changes to the judges panel. He was very upset with the judges last night.

Marcus is tooo much like everybody else out there- Drew was different, she had her own style of singing that doesnt come along often.

I do beleive Simon will be helping her with her career after this.

Did anyone else see the host turn around and throw his arms up in the air? What was that all about?

That host has said in interviews, that he is getting yelled at in his ears by 5 producers, so he said he is trying to do his best under those circumstances-

might have to do with all the directions and yelling he is getting to hurry things along - lol

Okay, did anyone else hear what Drew said about Jesus and how she could not say it before now?

Yes, odd isn't it, that he has to "hurry things along" and yet they wait an inexcusable amount of time before each announcement of who stays or who is going. Such a boring way to "build tension and excitement".....they would be better off being straightforward and quick. I hate these manipulations by the production people. Plus, I think the contestants are able to handle the news so just give it...don't drag it out!

I for one am happy with the results...it's what I wanted to happen last week.

I've been wanting Astro gone from the beginning (don't think he should have even made it to the live shows). And, though I liked Drew at first, enough was enough. Did she actually think she was going to win?

I think the host threw his arms up because he was trying to ask Simon a question and Simon said he had nothing to say.

This show is so scripted, I would not be surprised if Simon did not script the exit of Drew. Jaded, I am very jaded of reality shows. She is so young, and probably had Simon telling her how great she was week after week. Kids do not belong on this show or any show where there is "drama"

Well, Rachel is a kid and handling things pretty well. Did she cry once. Sure. But then Stacy cried numerous times too. Age and maturity are different in each one of us. I don't see it as an issue of the age of kids vs "adults" competing.

Is Drew the one who sang the Skyscraper song (Demi Lovato) last week and was told it was too old for her?

yes costa -

I'm sure that is waht LA has been doing to Astro also- which is why he didnt handle his 1st time being in bottom 2 very well-

My personal opinion - I think Paula should have saved Drew- than America could have had the last word on who went home by the lowest votes-
