I can't take that freakish toothpick with a grin anymore. I'm praying that he disappears tonight. How can anyone find him talented? Ever since the first episode I never understood the fascination with the brillo pad. If they ever make a live action movie of "The Simpsons" he will be a shoe-in for Sideshow Bob.

Kelly is the STAR of this show. Her voice is a little over used lately, but I'm sure with a little rest she'll be better than ever. Her versatility is amazing. Nikki belongs in a smokey bar....enjoy the 15 minutes girlfriend!!!

Gadzooks, I SO agree with everything you said! And about Justin - I told my husband last night, every time I see Justin I just wanna flip him upside down and mop my floor with his head!

He sure is a long, tall drink of water! He towers over everybody else on stage.

I agree on the Justin dislike. I dislike everything about him, from that stupid hair to that way he stands there looking like he's going to cry with his big eyes unless they say something good about him. I was unimpressed with him, particularly the Elton John song which seems to have wowed the judges over. Seemed to me that he got lost in it and the background music was drowning him out.

Me too!

Last night I forgot to vote for over an hour, then was voting for Nikki, no problem getting thru.. tried to throw one in for Kelly, but got busy signal (that's a good sign).

Then I dialled the Justin # and put in a vote with no problem.. then, freaked out that I'd given him a vote, I voted a bunch more times for Nikki.

Justin begone..

I saw Jay Mohr on Good Day Live last week. They had a video of Justin with no sound and Jay Mohr was singing the theme song from "Fraggle Rock." It was priceless.

I hope he goes tonight, and I hope Kelly wins, too.

You guys are making me laugh! I have to say I thought he did great last night. The songs fit him well. With that said, I don't like him at all. He just gives me the creeps a bit with that constant smiling. He seems slimey (the kind that come off as sincere but are really working you over). And that hair! Enough with the hair!

I loved it that Simon commented about how glad he was that Justin didn't dance. You go Simon! :)

I want him to go home tonight because I don't want there to be any chance of Kelly losing this.

I want Justin gone too...but I have a feeling and a very strong one that he may win this damn thing...i know that Kelly should actually win this..but I think that mop head is going to take the coveted American Idol from her hands.

I notice that day after day, ET, and Extra have really been showing alot of Justin and not enough of Kelly or Nikki...I think they are pushing for him because of the teeneyboppers...

Please take their phones away for another week...this way Kelly can win this.

Justin can't help the way he looks! Didn't you see the photos of him with short hair on last night's show... that's hardly any better than his "mop"!!

I like him. He's excitable, sure, but he has spirit. It's an exciting time in his life, let him enjoy it.

Gadzooks! I can't believe you posted that! I have been thinking of SideShow Bob since the first time I saw him! LOL!

I don't think he's even remotely good looking
I don't think he can dance
I don't like his hair

I do think he is in love with himself
I do think his smarmy personality gets in the way of a pleasant voice
I do want him gone tonight!

I am amazed at how nasty and judgemental people can be about someone based on the little knowledge we really have about them. At least on Big Brother you can get a better idea of their personality but there is so little real information on these people's personalities that I find it sad that people seem to make them out to be such terrible people like smarmy and slimy without really knowing anything about them. That being said I do hope Kelly wins and think Justin's hair and dancing don't do anything for him, but I am not going to make him about to be some terrible person, when in reality he could be anything but.

I like Justin. Like the 'fro, although it could use a little trimming. I love the voice. The dancing is sometimes good ("Once In My Life"), sometimes bad ("PYT"). I almost alway enjoy his performances. I think he has tremendous charisma on stage, and really seems to love performing. And I don't find him insincere at all. I think he's a bit silly/dorky at times, which I find rather endearing. *shrug*

It's probably safe to say that Kelly will win. And while I voted for Justin last night, I'm not sure if I'll bother voting next week. While I prefer Justin on his "on" nights, I think he's been a bit uneven over the course of the competition.

In any case - I'm really happy about a Justin/Kelly final two. I think that Justin will handle the bashing that comes with going up against Kelly pretty well, too.

I agree with you Muse. I like Justin too, (although I will be glad to see Kelly win because I think she is more talented.) I enjoy watching him perform and don't think he deserves the bashing he gets. I thought he was adorable in his childhood shots. I also agree with whoever said it doesn't look sincere anymore when Kelly acts surprised when they compliment her and that thing she does at the end with her mouth open while she pushes her tongue against her teeth is starting to bug me.

Ddsbarefoot - I had read your comment yesterday afternoon. Well last night as they were panning the three of them onstage, I nearly spit my drink all over my livingroom thinking how much he DOES resemble a mop!!! My fiance thought I had lost it as I tried to spit out my thought to him between gasps of laughter!!! Thanks for the laugh!

Jason seem to always be trying so hard. He is so obviously "on" he loses all sincerity in his performance. That being said; No way should Nikki make it to the final two. She is a mediocre singer at best. I've heard way better singers in Holiday Inn lounges. An American Idol ought to be able to hold their PITCH!

Kelly is so much better in every way, this show will be a joke if she doesn't win.

Something else I noticed about Jason last night, and it's been said plenty here and in other places. Last night after one of his performances when he went up to sit with the two clowns that host the show, they were switching cameras and he was almost frantic trying to figure out which one to smile into! What a camera hound!

I don't have any dislike for Justin. As a matter of fact he CAN sing unlike some of the others that made it to the top 30. I wasn't even all that put off by his seemingly over confident attitude.

I just like Kelly better. I think she has a better voice, more talent and a wider appeal. I think she is more versatile all around. But I do think Justin certainly has his niche in the industry and I'm sure he will get his contract and be successful as well.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one that finds califlower head Justin a camera hog. I also hate the way he bows his head after the compliments from the judges and then winks at the camera. Ugh!!!!

What really took the cake for me today was the segment that Access Hollywood had with his parents. They are even more camera savvy than Justin. The mother announced that the "Friends" show called her voice mail and wants Justin to make an appearance and she's all "I didn't return the call"......CHECK YOUR EGO LADY!!!!

Another thing that bugs me......they are always showing two different fathers on the show. One night it's a white father and the next it's a black father. What's up with that?

Anyhow, I really hope Kelly kicks butt next week. Justin needs to go back to hosting birthday parties.

Now back to Big Brother.........see ya.

Gadzooks, Eldrin Bell (the black father) is Justin's biological father. Mr. Guarini (Don't know his first name so I must not be as AI obscessed as I thought!!) is Justin's stepfather.

Evidently Justin's mother and stepfather live in Doylestown, PA and his father lives in Atlanta so he spends a lot of time going back and forth between the two cities.

Now it is a little sad that I know a lot of information about a contestant that has never been my favorite. ATH, I know Kelly's middle name is Brianne.

Justin has always been my fave. I liked alot of the others, Kelly's amazing voice, RJ's sweetness, Nikki's "Mary Jane" performance, Tamyra's "A House is not a home" but Justin has that je ne sais quois. I love the hair , his subtle voice, his style, his personality ~ the whole package. And he's blown me away more than a few times with his performances.
