All of the singing performances tonight were better than last night. Kelly's rendition of Without You was BRILLIANT!!!

However, it did seem like odd timing for Simon to tell her that it was the best peformance of the series. Kelly looked a little perplexed about that herself.

Nikki was really sweet and gracious with her parting words.

I did think the way that Kelly and Justin were goofing in the end of the show was adorable. When the hosts asked, "Who will be the next American Idol", they started pointing at each other. Then when the hosts said that Kelly and Justin would "duke it out next week" they started doing fake boxing jabs at each other.

Yayyyy Kelly!!!!!

I think I did Abby, I also saw a special about it on TV, have been through several of their homes (mansions, castles, take your pick!) in Newport and the Biltmore in NC. Very nice

(of course they built all of these fabulous houses before income tax, so....)

I didn't like how Simon complimented Kelly in the middle of the good-bye to Nikki. I didn't mind him telling things to the other contestants in the past (like how he's said that anything can happen, that they need to come back believing they can win, etc), but that just seemed like a slap in the face to Nikki. Especially since he basically told her that she's not as good as the other two. I appreciated his honesty in saying that he thought Nikki should go, but...enough already.

Anyway, I'm very pleased that it'll be Justin and Kelly next week. I like them about the same, and you can tell that they're good friends. They're just so cute. :) I'm hoping for a nice duet next week. And I'm *sure* that Kelly will win, but hopefully Simon won't be as harsh to Justin as he was to Nikki tonight.

Oh, and I now hate "Without You". I don't understand why everyone thought it was so good. Kelly sang it fairly well, but I like pretty much everything else she has done on the show better than that song. Especially "Stuff Like That There". Which they didn't show in her clips. Hmph.

Well I am always late to the party and this is no exception. I watched tonight for the first time and now I understand all the interest. But let me tell you they eliminated the correct person tonight. She was by far the most attractive of the three but definately the least talented in singing of the three. But what a great show! I am sorry I missed this series, but I will watch the finalle.

All you CA people don't have the site to yourselves. I'm in Kentucky. Can't imagine living near the BB house. Anyway, Kelly looks like a winner to me. I noticed Ryan Starr was conspicuously absent from the group of exes tonight. Wonder if they banned her for heckling Simon from the audience a few shows back. Did anyone notice when he turned around and gave her a dirty look?

Abby7, I absolutely agree with you that the finalists will get a contract and some measure of success (even if it is just a foot in the door and valuable connections).

Bigd, I'm curious as to your opinion of the final two. A fresh perspective would be nice to hear. Would you mind sharing your impressions?

I haven't been watching but since BB is delayed I thought I'd check it out tonight. (Part way through) I used to be in a band and I appreciate good singing...

My take? I can't believe Nicki ended up in the final three. She sings flat and her voice seemed harsh to me.

Justin is smooth and polished but doesn't do a thing for me. He's really into himself and his image.

That Kelly is AWESOME!She could sing the heck out of a nursery rhyme. I hope she wins.

MHO FWIW

Thanks for posting Meggie. Since I've watched from the beginning I'm happy that others see Kelly's talent even if just tuning in.

It makes me want to dance and shout!!!

Wcv63 - I think Kelly is exceptionally talented and might have enough presence to suceed. Justin is very slick and seemed very comfortable on the stage, he has a great voice, but I think maybe he has Roddy's syndrome of liking himself too much. But I really enjoyed them both - they are by far the most talented. I went to a website that has a place to listen to the contestants prior performances and I think these two are definately the winners in the group.

WCV:

You have asked for opinions on Kelly & Justin, and so you shall receive.

I've been watching from the very beginning, and at first was quite taken with Justin's voice. Now, I'm very turned off by him - his attitude, his hair, his head cocks that he does when he sings... This is a show looking for a new "teen" idol - unfortunately for Justin, (and in some respects Kelly) Justin's voice suits piano bar music much better than anything else.

Kelly... From day one, I thought, OH MY GOD!!!! She has a voice that could make the Oscar Mayer song sound phenomenal. I can't tear myself away from the screen whenever she's on, and I have said on more than one occasion that I would be one of the first in line to buy a CD of hers!!!

BigD: I agree with your take on Kelly, and also Justin (*especially the Roddy comment), however, I don't agree that they're the two most talented... if Nikki didn't have the following that she had, the true showdown would be between Tamyra & Kelly as is right, however, the cards have fallen where they may, and I'll have every finger and toe crossed next Wednesday for Kelly.

To my chagrin, Canadians cannot vote, so I have to rely on you Americans to vote for me!!!!

Bidd and Djgirl thank you for your comments. I always enjoy reading other people's opinions especially when they agree with mine!

Wcv: As I said in your folder - we always seem to have the same opinions... as the saying goes... great minds think alike!!!
