Unfortunately, I think that is just the way the votes fall. It doesn't necessarily mean that most people in America think Kim L. deserves to go, but are just busier voting for others they want to see stay more. I don't think she has much of a fan base the way Ruben and Clay do. You need that fan base. That is what carried Nikki so far last season.

I threw my 10 little votes Ricky's way thinking he was in danger. Silly me, I guess I'll vote for who I really want to stay next week.

But Herm, at the same time this could backfire on Ruben and Clay.

I think at times that so many people will feel that they are both safe and so they will spend their votes on their other favorite singers to save them, and hope this will make their least favorite singer go.

That's true, too, Grooch. Not this fan, though! I still remember what happened to Tamyra! I'm going to keep voting for who I want to stay the most! I always vote a lot for Clay and a little for Ruben. I guess I'll throw a couple of votes Ricky and Kim L.'s way too, though, because I do agree that Kim didn't deserve to be in the bottom three and I just like Ricky.

LOL! So Herm you are using both methods. :)

Yep! I's smart!

I use Hermione's method too...(it's smart to follow her, she's been doing this longer than me). Vote for the one you really like best, but throw a few votes to the one you really don't want to leave. I voted a lot for Ricky even though I know objectively he didn't sing the best. I just love his sweetness. I voted for Clay also. I will give Kim L. some votes even though I can't shake my distaste of her. I can recognize that she didn't deserve bottom 3 last night.

I have read here that some of you dial the different numbers just to see which lines are busy. Aren't you voting for someone you may not want to vote for when you do that? Just Curious. I thought Carmen looked cute last night. Also she performed well at the end under the pressure of thinking she might be eliminated. I am liking her more each week.

America is stupid! And Yes, I'm an American and I voted. To put Carmen and Kim L (who I don't like) in the bottom rather than Ricky or Josh is just plain stupid.

It looks like Josh is going to "Nikki" his way into the final 3. Help us all if his singing contines to be as dreadful as this week. That was just bad, bad karaoke. I could do that.

Terynce and her 5-finger-discount ways dropped her to the bottom 3. Not surprised by this.

Kudos to Fruit and others who predicted the bye week. I thought carrying the votes over was a good idea (seems some of you don't so I'll have to read back and see why). I do think that Carmen will pick up a lot of votes next week to propell her out of the bottom -- she'll probably get a few from me!

Hummingbird -- if I call the other lines to see who I can get through to, I am always keeping a running tally in my mind of who I've voted for. As long as I get the most votes in for the people I want to stay that's fine -- I'm just cancelling out my own vote. I also will put the most votes in for my favorite (Clay) and then throw a few votes toward someone I want to hang around.

Am I the only one who is tired of the Diva Complex that Trenyce has? Shees. The microphone spanking has finally gotten on my nerves too, where it didn't before.

Carmen is a cute thing and seems like the pet of this year's show.

I also noticed that Kim L. was not in on the recording for Proud to be an American.

I think from now on, whether the results show is 1/2 an hour or an hour, I'm tuning in for the last 5 minutes.

Weener, many of us have already mentioned Trenyce. Whoever heard of an AMATEUR with a single name? She's not Madonna. She's not Cher. She's not Pink. She's not even Jewel. She's Lashundra Cobbins, the girl that stole clothes from her job! Give me a break. She is so full of herself.

Everyone talks about the contestant's image, and I've noticed something - everyone talks about Clay's clothes, Ruben's clothes, Carmen's outfits etc. At least they are original to themselves - they wear what suits them... Trenyce on the other hand is trying to emulate Whitney Houston right down to the clothes. Look at an 80's video of Whitney's and what you will notice is that Trenyce wears the same styles... jmo of course!

I think Trenyce is a way better name than LaShaundra.

Right on Beachcomber. It'd be nice if she'd learn the lyrics to the songs that she's chosen too. I guess the "I'm Every Woman" thing just kinda tipped me over the edge of tolerance with her. lol

I kinda like the name LaShundra.

Car, think about what you just said. Is one REALLY better than the other?

On Hollywood Squares last night a black woman commedian was hysterical. Her question: What don't you want to include on internet dating sites?

She answered: The name of your 8 children and proceeded to come up with 8 names rapid fire.....(I am making these up but it was similar) Sheniqua, Kashiqua, LaRonda, Fashandra, etc......

The real answer was your photo.

I watched the show and I thought that Simon was angry about there not being anyone evicted. He had this look that said what a bunch of crap that he had to sit through a show for that. It was obvious that he wanted the marine to go.

One name or two, the girl does have some talent, if not more than most of the remaining 8. I just don't like divas and she reminds me of a Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Little Richard hybrid.

Did the show have those cheeseball jokes and stuff last time too? What audience are they trying to reach?
Paula not wanting to give Simon a kiss, but 2 weeks ago, she plopped in his lap, and they smooched for the camera.. I dunno.

Maris, I think Simon has a right to be pissed. I was upset too. Definitely the Marine should have been in the bottom 3. It's a crying shame he wasn't!

Looks like today is Pick on Lashundra day. I agree Sasha, she definitely has talent. But it's her 'tude and divaesque personality that caused her to be in the bottom two.

Anybody want to change the topic of the day to Oh-Ricky-You're-Not-So-Fine? Can't stand the Upper Register man. He should have been at the bottom also.

Beach, I can't stand Mr. "upper register" either. He definately should have gotten the boot!

Why pick on anyone? Each of them has their own strong and weak points and their own fan base. It'd get boring watching 12 finalist who were exactly the same. There's a few who shouldn't win, and maybe my opinion differs from others, but thats why its fun to watch and talk about it together. Some of the finalist would do better sticking with one style of music over another, some would do better with a few more years of practice, training, and experience.

What I'm wondering is what happens if Simon really doesn't think the winner deserves to win? Are they then stuck with someone til the contract is up, do they throw their support behind them and try to make the most of it?

Well said, Wargod.

I don't know about your question. I think they would throw their support behind it. Obviously the winner, deserved in Simon's eyes or not, inspired millions of votes so there is some money to be made of him or her!

Snee, you have excellent taste.

Last night I started the save Rickey as long as possible movement. It is growing.

Wargod, I love you. Made my day.

Rickey is fun and he is not the worst person on the show right now. JMO.
