The only performance I liked tonight was BOTW. The rest of it was unforgettable and boring, to me.

No I don't think it has mattered for a few weeks how they sing, people have their favorites and their minds are set.

I'd say there are many who may listen tonight and make their decision.. like all of us Kim fans, and others.. and from what I'm hearing so far, I'd guess some will opt to not bother to vote. But for the diehard Clay or Ruben fans, yeah, they won't consider tonight at all. That's understandable.

Gosh, I sure have been set....from Day-way-the-heck-back-ONE!

I wish they could both win. Actually I think they already have. I do have a favorite but I have never voted for a winner yet so I don't want to jinx him.

I agree with you Sea. If Kim had been here tonight I would be trying to dial the entire 3 hours. I like Ruben but I don't like him enough to fanatically dial. I already tried a few times and got the busy signal, so I'm probably not going to bother.

But, Seamonkey, I also voted for Kim...50times, last week. Unfortunately, there are people like Ruben's brother, and like that realtor-person, who are getting in more than 300 votes. Well, we'll see.....they will both have a career.

I think they both had an off night tonight. I just enjoy watching Clay more. BOTW was beautiful. This will be a nail biter tomorrow.

For those afraid to vote because they won't get through- do it! I have gotten through like ten times already. Every vote counts, especially this week.

Well, I'm glad somebody is getting through, I've only gotten busy signals. Guess I will set my alarm to alert me to hour three and try then.

watching the show now in Indiana...have to agree with a lot of what I just read through the thread concerning tonights show....wow...most of us could do this a whole lot better...production wise.

I think so far, after 4 songs...both guys are vocally worn about out...Ruben much more than Clay...and R just does not appear to feel good. He was flat in so many cases and seems to be sweating much more than usual. Some of Clay's notes seemed a bit strained at times on second song. I still cannot see such praise for the performances...especially for Ruben. This is definately not his night. TRYING to be honest, here, folks!! Not sure how people would vote tonight if this was the first time they say them!
And this continued MELISMA singing is getting to me....why not just sing!!

Never did read about the 'original song' that Clay did first...why was it original...not sure that I ever hear it before?

Just caught sight of Simor waving one armed hand in hand with Paul and Randy...during "wings' song...he sure does look pissed at the performance...or is he just disappointed. He seemed to be searching for words to say...

Thanks for the spoiling play by play, guys. I'm watching Buffy at 8 here on the West Coast, but wanted to know how the show went. I'll be taping it and watching it later.

I swear I'm watching a different show than most of you.

I often feel that way - I am pretty sure I watched a different show than Simon did tonight.

It is a sin isn't it Nana, I wanted Rueben to be at his best tonight and it just isn't so. Clay i mediocre and he was so much better than Rueben. Wait until you hear the last song. My heart broke for Rueben, you could tell he was so nervous.

I thought that Clay was better tonight, but I really like both of them. Their styles are so different, it is a shame that there has to be a "winner" and a "loser", I think they are both great! I tried to call in and vote and got a busy signal several times, so I will try again later.

Two hours of trying with both cell and land lines and I haven't gotten through AT ALL!
