I think this will show a lot of people they have to vote for their favorite or they will leave. I vote for James and Jacob. With Jacob being the only African-American, I don't understand why he isn't getting a lot of votes. Who will get Pia's votes now that she is gone....another female?

I think the judges exhibiting shock at the vote was pure theatre. Dont forget in past seasons Randy and Simon have admitted in the past that they see the results in the early afternoon.

The premise of the show is that america votes for the winner. That is why the show is called American Idol. That is the risk of this sort of show. But rest assured, in the last show, Randy, et al will say, America always gets it right when commenting on the final two.

Well that's what they get paid to say. Seriously, out of all the talent there is in America this is the best they could do? The judges can hardly be upset by this. After all they think they are all incredibly equally wonderful.

I don't think the save was wasted on Casey, but I think Pia should not have gone. But now my "no way is a woman gonna win this season" statement definitely going to come true. I don't vote (I'd have voted for James if I did). But... Stefano is safe? Really? Paul and Jacob? Really? Pia can sing. She didn't really connect with the audience but she can sing. The judges gushing all over the creepy guys though? I'm gonna say it now...if James doesn't win this season then America won't get it right. It'll be another boring white bread singer winning AI, and not actually becoming a REAL idol. The last couple of winners and their record sales confirms that. Boring winners. And the judges? I place the blame squarely on these judges.

I don't think they chose very exciting singers for the most part.. She shouldn't be gone yet but she's not exciting..

I for one will not miss Pia, she bored me to tears. I could not watch her, I will watch as long as James and Casey are on, if they leave I leave.

I blame it squarely on the judges too. They are the folks who week after week drool over these kids like they are the cream of the crop! They pump these kids up every week with their "Oh, you were wonderful" crap, never once telling them the truth. I hope these judges realize all they are doing is setting them up for a tremendous fall by not being more honest with them.

Let's face it - the judges were gushing over everyone last night. I wonder who THEY wanted to leave tonight because, ITO, everyone was fabulous. Where's Simon when you need him?

I'm not upset. I really didn't feel that Pia was interesting to watch. She wasn't exciting or charismatic to me...I've said it before and I've said it again...beautiful voice, beautiful girl...but not someone particularly warm or interesting. I don't think she was going to win and what the heck...sooner or later she was going to leave. Was she a better singer than several others? Absolutely. But better doesn't equal a winner.

I think the real tragedy this evening was that beige jumper with the crocheted vest that Lauren was wearing. That looks like the outfit my Granny wears to meet with the girls for canasta and cocktails.

Pia can sing... but she hasn't had any constructive criticism *SIMON* telling her how boring she was as a performer.

That is it exactly, Alliet. How could they be shocked and horrified at Pia leaving (which they certainly appeared to be) when they keep telling all the contestants that they are wonderful. I agree that was shocking, Kelli. The outfits, styling and makeup is atrocious.

I didn't really care for Pia. As I said earlier, she was too 'formula' in her delivery. I didn't feel any connection with the audience when she sang. I don't care that she left, but I would have preferred in Jacob left.

Wow! That was a shocking results show! I never even expected to see Pia in the bottom 3, much less to leave! But I'm glad! Didn't like her, didn't want her to win. It was kind of silly the way the judges carried on like she died or something. How was poor Stefano supposed to feel about that? "America got it wrong! It should have been Jacob or Stefano?" I've said all along that Pia wasn't nearly as good as the judges were telling her she was. Everybody has to go home eventually. I'd just as soon she went now and I don't have to sleep thru her performances anymore. And I thought Lauren looked beautiful tonight. Last night (gingham diaper, Bonzacat?!) was a whole 'nother story!

The judges may have said Pia is great; but JLo still said to her to get a personality..do something don't just stand there. I don't think they are really shocked to see her go, I'm not.

Yeah, I wasn't shocked. I thought Pia was the dullest performer of the 9 that were left. She was definitely the prettiest one there, but sometimes I think there is some truth to that saying about the prettiest girls not having to develop a personality.

I want Scotty to go home. He looks so awkward and he's redundant. He will do fine in the country circle without this show at this point. I would LOVE to see Haley and James in the final 2!

I'm more worried about having to watch the last five weeks with all guys. Pia may not have been the best but she was not the worst. Jacob and his ego. Stefano and his lounge lizard sleeze. Either one. No one commented on Constantine (still creeps me out) or Gwen and her horrible outfit choices or Iggy who still rocks but needs to put some clothes on.

Iggy was scary. I'm still speechless. I was surprised at how well Constantine sang though he sang well on his season as well. If only he didn't have those facial expressions. I'll give him props for keeping his shirt on. Bad outfits. The reason I'm disappointed with Pia leaving is I think she had the voice to develop into a decent performer. Unfortunately, she didn't perform. She just stood there and sang. Also, come on. Five girls in a row?. Either the AI voters don't like female singers or the judges' selection was very poor. Have average white male singers got a lock on this competition?

What a bizzare, disappointing ep! Constantine creeps me out too. Double ick with Iggy. Pia was my fave fem - so I'm bummed. If Jacob and Scotty go, then they've lost me for this season as they are my 2 male faves.

I knew Pia wouldn't win this competition but I'm suprised she left so soon. I never cared for Pia, she can sing and she's beautiful but to me she seemed a bit arrogant about how good she is. And she has zero personality and stage presence. Haley may not be as good of a singer, which is debatable, but she is interesting and entertaining. However, I hate that all the girls are being picked off.

Their voting public must consist primarily of female teenyboppers.

I was thinking the same thing, BJM, about how Stefano must have been feeling. Way to make him feel like rubbish, judges. As pleasant as many have felt the new judges are I don't think they are being constructive at all.
