First of all I will let you all know that I am a total country fan. I liked Josh before the country week when he did in my opinion a terrible rendition of Ain't Goin Down. So I am NOT speaking as a die hard Josh fan. But one thing I have noticed. When he sang country first, Simon made a point of letting Josh know that if he was country ALL his songs needed to be in country style, even Disco [COME ON SIMON I love ya but Country Disco?????????] and since then we all have seen the contorted faces and heard the extreme twang. Seems as if Josh is trying to sing Simon's version of country. But then when Trenyce would change up every week Paula would comment on how she was able to change with each genre and how good that was. Why should one be able to change with the genre and another have to keep to his genre no matter what type of song that is sung.

And another gripe. Paula. Every week she says she's shocked about who's in the bottome 2 and they don't belong there. OK I give her that Ruben didn't belong there, so you replace Ruben with Josh. Who did she think belonged there instead of Trenyce? Kim or Clay? *shrugs* Simon might be cruel at times but I personally find that I benefit from "bad" critism then wishy washy you did great critism. But then that's just me.

I was a Josh voter last week because I think Trenyce should have gone long ago and I really don't think Josh is a threat to the remaining 3. But I only was able to vote about 10 times in the whole 2 hours I hit redial, so I'd say if you have a favorite you'd better vote your little tushy off because I think Josh's voters mean business. I probably won't vote again since I could care less now who wins.

I think he should just be himself. He doesn't speak with any trace of accent at all. He is trying to put on the twang and it sounds forced. The problem is that he is not good enough of a singer to make it, so his gimmick is his supposed appeal to country music lovers.

And the very first song he sang, O-Town's "All or Nothing" did not sound country in the least. Joshua is a boy-band song lover who has been forced into singing country songs because someone has told him that is what he sounds OK at. Trenyce is a talented and much more versatile singer than Joshua, so that's why she gets praise.

Josh should do the right thing and get out on that stage and sing his buns off. I most definitely am not a Josh fan, but he got enough votes to stay, so stay he should. But he must stop the griping and pouting and get out there and SING darn it!!

a friend emailed me an interview with Carmen soon after her departure (sorry, don't remember the original source), anyway, she was asked to comment on how she felt about the remaining contestants, she said nice things about Trenyce, Rueben and Kim, she sounded like there might be a Luv conection between her and Clay, but when they asked about Josh, she just said, "uuuhh, he's ok". Anybody else familiar with this interview?

Yes Kellirippa I read that interview too. I think it's posted somewhere here, maybe in her fan club?

Apparently Josh and Clay get along since they are still rooming together in the big empty house. Can't remember where , saw it in an interview yesterday.

well, if clay is supposedly gay, there goes the luv connection. i don't necessarily think, "uuuhh, he's okay" is a negative thing.

the second song josh sang tonight was better than either of kim's songs. she made some bad choices with hard to sing songs.

i think it will actually be close between josh and kim when the voting comes down--and last week i was sure he was a goner.
