to be honest i really don't care which one leaves if it comes down to josh and trenyce..i don't particularly care for either one of them..i think trenyce thinks way to highly of herself and it's a turn off and as far as josh i just don't care much for country.

The one thing I DO like about the AOL poll is how much closer in the running Clay and Ruben are after last night. I like Ruben, he has a great voice, but he's no more American Idol-like material than they say Clay is/isn't! Neither one is the predictable "pretty boy."

I do think Clay has sung consistently better than Ruben and he's tried a lot harder to do what the judges have asked of him in changing his performances and his looks even. Ruben just stands there every week and while I wouldn't mind listening to a CD of him singing, I don't think I'd be running out to a concert to see him in person.

I've said this before and I'm not picking on Ruben, (I carry around way too many extra pounds myself!) but just thinking about fairness - Venessa was picked on about her weight, I'm not sure if Kim has or not but big comments were made on her changing her hair, etc., Josh was even picked on by Simon about thinking he needs to lose weight, but Ruben is just the big teddy bear. I'm sure it's probably because there have been other AA male singers who have made it big, but if they're going to picking on some of them about their weight, it doesn't seem right to not comment on all of them.

I was shocked seeing Luther Van Dross (sp?) one year on a show when he had really dropped a lot of weight. It was almost like seeing a different person. I think the last time I saw him he'd gained a lot back and now the poor guy has suffered a stroke. Someone else mentioned they worried about Ruben's health as well. I do like Ruben, I really do, but I'm just thinking of the comments made to the rest of the contestants which he has done the same and never been called on the carpet for by the judges.

I really think it's time for Josh to go. He has deserved to go for a long time and while Trenyce is not one of my favorites, she has improved a lot. I put my votes in for Kim last night even though her first song was a bit off. She still has been amazing in her transformaiton as a performer and has really let herself shine.

The next couple of weeks will be realy interesting performance-wise, since up until a couple of weeks ago, it looked like Ruben and Clay had it in the bag as the final two. It would be great to see things get turned around a bit instead of it having been predictable it would be either Clay or Ruben since the beginning. FWIW!!

Happy viewing tonite everyone! :)

Group singing...a medley of different songs. It looks like everyone is getting solos.

Parts of it sound good, other parts don't. I don't recognize all of the songs. They are having fun with it though.
