No webkitty that was AJ Gil. He will be singing next week too.

I went to the website, but their names are so teeny tiny I couldn't read them.

If he is the one I am thinking of, then he has an awesome voice and should go on.

he looks better in person. He has some feminine soft sides to him, but he is a cute boy with a good voice

I think Mark Scott is a boy band posterboy as well, but I don't remember how he sang.

I think he was good Jen (he must've been he made it to the top 30 after all) but I don't remember him clearly.

One more thing I forgot to add about tonight's show is that I could have done without Tamika. I think that by rewarding her bad behavior by putting on her on the show (in whatever capacity) does a disservice to everyone else who didn't make it. Enough with her. She didn't make the cut now she should just go away.

That Fox website is so frustrating! Its ~jumpy~ very irratating! (at least for me, webtv)

I found RJ, I STILL don't remember him!

I'll see him next week. I can't make a prediction now except for Justin. But after what happened tonight, who knows?
Rabbit will tell us!

OK guys, I'm off to bed, night!

I think Tamika is now on the official payroll, because the day after she was cut she was interviewed on Good Day Live, appeared live (with Randy) on Access Hollywood, did Extra, did Entertainment Tonight - and those were just the show I actually saw!

I'm disappointed that Jim made it. I thought he would, but I was hoping I was wrong. It's not so much that I wanted a specific someone else in his spot (although I would've been happy to see Ryan, Tamyra, and Adriel, I must admit), but that there's a *lot* of contestants that I thought were better than him. Pretty much everyone except Rodesia and possibly Brad, honestly. (Sorry, Discoinferno! )

Ah well. I think it's safe to say that Jim will get eliminated when people are voted off. Same goes for Justin though...*sniff*

Well, I got time to watch my tape from last night before the show tonight. I like Jim and think he has talent, but I sure don't think he was one of the top three. I think lots of folks gave him the "anti-Simon" vote.

I'm glad the gal who did the blues song made it. I thought she was really talented.

I really don't have room to comment too much, though, 'cause I didn't make any phone calls to vote (couldn't since I didn't get to watch the tape until voting was closed -- oh well!).

Interesting show. I wonder if Paula Abdul will ever say anything critical?

Oh, I have to say that I thought the girl who sang "Daydream Believer" was TERRIBLE! I was shocked when all three judges gave her praise. She was flat and out of synch with the music through most of the song. Yes, she gave it her own "style" but it was a style that made me cringe!

I am very happy that Tamyra and Ryan advanced as I called in for both of them. The Jim vote is not THAT surprising.. I saw quite a few people online saying they gave him a sympathy vote. Chris, Adriel and Kelli were good enough to get the #3 spot over him but none of them had homerun performances (as I feel Ryan and Tamyra did) so Jim was able to advance on his sympathy vote. I also agree about the anti-Simon vibe. He was really harsh on Jim and because it was early in the show, people remembered it (he was the first one slammed). If Jim was more in the middle of the pack and Simon was less cruel (and thus we wouldn't have seen a sad puppy dejected look from Jim), I bet Adriel or Chris would have been #3 instead. Simon better take note if he has a favorite he is trying to protect.

what is the deal with the "wild card" pick they mentioned?

Tne hosts said that there would be a slim shot for one more person as the judges get to fill a wild card slot.

my question is - do they get one wild card PER GROUP? or one slot over all?

anybody know?

It is one wild card slot. Bringing the total number of finalist to 10.

Discoinferno.......good for you. *g* Jim is one of 4 that I voted for and of those 4 he's the only one who made it. I thought Ryan was awful and Tamyra's attitude stunk almost as bad as Ryan's voice.

I missed part of tuesday. what did tamyra do?

Last nite I thought she did well. they were trying to get her to say that she expected to do well. i thought she was gracious. she was on a radio show this morning. she was gracious and complimentary to everyone. they ask her about Jim, and she said that he has a beautiful spirit and America saw that.

Ryan didn't sound good to me, but she's got a special look. i think brittany spears is a worse singer than me,but she's huge so what do i know?

i was disappointed that chris didn't make it, but oh well, America voted...

Jim is supposedly not playing the deaf parents thing up for votes, but check out this quote (May 1st) from his online journal - oooh good that your parents are deaf, it earns you brownie points! *** I believe you're sorry -- well sort of -- but this part got moderated anyway for really attacking this guy. (c) *** (sorry - well, not really):

"So they verify my location and age and they ask me about my parents being deaf, so I go into that and explain how much it sucks for me to have deaf parents who are so supportive yet can never hear the sound of my voice. Paula Abdul was like, "OMG, that's horrible. I'm so sorry, Jim." So, MAJOR BROWNIE POINTS THERE!"

http://www.livejournal.com/users/aberdawg83/

He dreams of "being" Britney Spears, rants on about his lesbian best friend Claire and how guys use him for sex but don't think he's pretty, and discusses his Spring class schedule (Modern Dance, Musical Theater and Gay and Lesbian Studies).

Fascinating stuff...

Well, I don't think the sympathy vote is because of Jim's deaf parents. I think it was more because of the way Simon ripped him a new one and that he was first out of the gate that night to get a British tongue-lashing. Probably combined with the deaf thing, though.

Hey, all these people are playing the angles to get where they want to be. All are going to be ego-driven. I think to get through this competition, that's pretty much a given and a requirement.

Jim's lower lip grossed me out! What was up with that???? The pouty look on a man isn't attractive.

Maybe that wasn't really Jim's journal, but something put together by someone being mean. Just a thought.
