That's exactly what I was going to say, Mame! All those little girls are voting for their favorites. I wouldn't worry too much about Scotty for a while, unless he really screws up somehow. The little girls LOVE him (I do, too) and he's always at the top of the list on Dial Idol. Constantine was creepy. Never a favorite of mine. And Iggy Pop? Ick! I couldn't stop staring at his wrinkled, overly-spray tanned body. Why did nobody tell him that wasn't a good look?

I get tired of hearing Ryan/judges say you have to vote for your favorite when someone they think should stay gets voted off. Maybe people ARE voting for their favorite... I felt terrible for Stefano.

I have a 14 year old female teenybopper and the funny thing is she LOVES Lauren.LOL She called and voted for her Wednesday night. My 16 yr old loves Scotty and Pia but she doesn't bother to vote.

Overlooked is the fact that Paul or Scotty forgot a word and made up their own.

Yeah, I hate it when Ryan yells at us for not voting. I think people did vote. They just didn't vote for Pia.

Scotty needs to stop holding the mic as if it's an ear of corn. Really not attractive. Stefano knows he should've gone home, if you paid attention to his expression. He's been on the bottom enough. The judges are really a piece of you know this season. You can't constantly say everyone sounds beautiful. The judges need to start doing what they were hired to do... and that is JUDGE!! Because they are certainly not preparing anyone to become an idol. Pia is gorgeous and has a great voice. She, however, couldn't connect with her audience. She though she was singing an uptempo song, however pay attention to how she sang it. Same damn ugly arm movements, same squat/crouch (in a really ugly outfit), and same "hold that note as long as you can at the end" thing. She couldn't really engage the audience and walking around the judges table -- walk, stop sing, walk, stop sing, walk some more and hold on to the table this time -- isn't really performing. Yet the damn judges refuse to say anything critical. Oh and I'm sorry but if Stefano gets Jennifer all hot again next week, that's it, I'm done. He's not all that cute, he can't sing for shit, and he really is sleezy. If she can't see that, and constantly screams for him (and actually, that is not the word I was thinking of, remove the initial s) then there is something seriously wrong. If she claims he's hot again, that's it, I'm done. And I'm done with the judges. Except for Randy, who really does seem to want to include some honest comments.

Yes Randy was the only one with a few real comments this week. After knowing the results and knowing the guests.. I started to watch my recording and then thought.. but why. so I moved on to other stuff on my DVR. So freeing! (best this season.. not watching Celeb Apprentice!)

Costacat. I said almost the same things on another site. We finely agree on something. LOL

LOL Sea. I probably should'v FF'd but I didn't now about Iggy and Constantine. If I'd known about the latter, for sure I'd have just deleted the show. Laxy, we agree on a few things. THIS show, however? I'm not so sure anyone will DISAGREE!

I went and let my dog outside while Constantine sang. Iggy who?? I know I am behind the times, but where did he come from. Kind of old to be acting that way, isn't he. Yuck!

Costa, I have to agree with about 95% of your above post. The only slack I'm going to give the contestants is what they wore. I don't think they had much choice in that since TPTB brought in Gwen Stefani to dress them. I thought Pia had a great voice, but at the end of the day she did not connect with her audience. It also didn't help that she sang a relatively obscure Tina Turner song that many younger people aren't familiar with. Hell, I'm 51-years-old and don't remember that song. Pia made a very poor song choice. At the end of the day, Lauren and Hailey are totally connecting with the audience and put on much better "performances."

I must be in an agreeable mood because I am agreeing with Lexie too. I do wish they would dress Lauren like a 16 yr old and go easy on the red lipstick on both her and Haley.

Haley looks ten times better in her interviews than when she is on stage. On stage she looks like a clown. (And this is coming from someone who likes her and would like to see her do well.) I loved the judges during the audition phase but Steven and J Lo have mostly been cheerleaders once the top 13 started. For all those longing for Simon though, let's reminisce about his grunts, groans and three word judging moments when he would hit the wall and get bored at this stage of the competition. On a positive note, I think Randy has greatly improved this season and is doing a very good job judging.

How sad is it when Randy is held up as the font of wisdom?

Another problem with Pia's song is that Santana and Mercedes did it so much better recently on Glee (the only time I had heard the song previously). I agree...she was too stiff and unable to relax and enjoy herself on stage so that we could enjoy her performance.

I don't get why it was so shocking? Every week somebody has to go home...and to act so shocked is rather insulting to all the people who voted for others over Pia...for instance those who like Stefano or Jacob or Scotty or ... well, you know what I'm saying.

Why was it shocking? Mainly because she had never even been in the bottom three, the judges saved the one guy who had been eliminated and that made five straight eliminations for women. Plus a lot of people in the entertainment field were shocked as well. It's becoming more and more obvious that it is becoming next to impossible for a woman to win American Idol. Either that or the judges (including the past judges) are very poor at choosing quality female contestants.

Surprised yes, shocked no. I think the way the judges handled it was rude. I am not a fan of Stefano, but the judges should not have made him feel guilty because he stayed and she didn't. He got the votes, she didn't. She had a very good voice except for the screech at the end, she is beautiful, but she was not an entertainer. She probably could have learned to relax and become an entertainer. Carrie wasn't wonderful on stage when she won, but look at her now. All of them have to go, but the last two.

Exactly, Lazylu! I get really tired of the judges telling America we got it wrong. If they don't like the outcome, they shouldn't let us vote!

But if the judges has been honest with Pia, they would've told her what she needed to do to connect with her audience. It doesn't appear that the contestants get much mentoring from the judges. Singing, yes, from Jimmy and the others. But performance? Not so much. Pia could've been shown what to do/what NOT to do, and likely wouldn't have been eliminated so soon. Should be interesting to see if the remaining two girls are picked off in the next 2 weeks.

It's not up to the judges whether America votes or not. The judges are there to offer their opinion. Their opinion was that America got it wrong. There is no reason to assume that they are insulting Stefano by saying that America got it wrong. J Lo obviously likes Stefano. The judges may not think Stefano belonged in the bottom two either. In fact, it was pretty obvious that they (especially J Lo) were unhappy with the bottom two.

Costa, totally clapping for everything you said. To me Stefano is turning into this seasons Sanjaya. I didnt think Pia had a shot at winning because she has no personality. beautiful voice, pretty girl but she need to develope as a performer. She would have benefitted from a couple of more weeks of mentoring. No way Stefano should have beat her out. Agree about the judges, they need to step up to the plate. Maybe with this weeks results they will.
