Lucy is sent back to the couch.

It's between Chauncy and Chantal.

Chauncy made the group.

Did Chauncy sound like this last night? I missed the show. I like Chauncy, but if he sounded like this how in the world did he make it through this week?

Because he is so darn cute and that seems to be what people are voting for. Can they not hear Lucy, Danielle and Chantal.The way this is going the best singers will be in the left over group.

I'm starting think you are absolutely right LL. I'm kind of thinking I don't want the good singers in this group. These others will bring them down.

Chauncey chose a song that was too old and too white for him. I didn't like that song at all. Hey, I'm white so don't cry racist on me. But Dean Martin is pretty darn white!

Anyway, the Thompson chicks didn't deserve to be there and definitely not first. Lucy Hale is the best. She and AJ should get the final 2 spots. Of course, it depends on whose parents buy the phone banks (like the Thompsons obviously did).

I guess I have to eat my words. I never thought Chauncy would get through. Not that I would ever buy this group's album, I would have liked to see the better talent go through. Oh well!

The public is definitely voting for something other than talent. I mean, they are all talented, but the most talented are being left behind. The cuteness factor counts for a lot. Anyone else sensing major attitude from the Thompson sisters, especially Taylor?

If I were the older kids in the group, ages 12-14, I wouldn't want to be in the group. The two videos shot so far are very juvenile, and I think they are going for the 5-11 year old fan base. My girls used to watch "Kidsongs" tapes when they were little and there was a "Kidsongs" show. The music videos shown so far are much like what the Kidsongs Kids did. My girls at 12-14 years wouldn't be caught dead singing such songs--too "Barneyesque." For my money, Morgan, A.J., Lucy, and Chantal will succeed on their own talent and be happier outside the group. Danielle is the right age for the group, but I don't think the public will vote her beautiful pure voice in. She'll do fine on her own, too.

My guess for the next two: Definitely Chantal, with the fifth spot going to A.J. or Lucy.

I taped the show and watched BB. I was very impressed with all of the performances except Jordan's. She was out of her league last night. I even think her parents thought so. I hit the FF button.

I was thinking last night that they may end up making this a ten kid group. After the last one is picked, and the 5 losers are all upset and tears are flowing, Ryan will say something like, "We have a surprise for you. We have decided to make this a group of 10! You are all American Jr's!" <applause><applause><applause> Everyone's a winner. Yada, yada, yada.

So Puttergirl, what do ya think of a final bonus question? Will they make a group of 10? You don't have to use it. I just thought it was an interesting option that the producers might use.

I was thinking the same thing when I watched the tape AFTER BB!!

The kids get better & better, and I'll tell ya what - most of them were fantastic last night. Lucy was outrageous and she was never one of my favorites. Her outfit was adorable, hair and all, and vocally she mastered it. Also, A.J. is adorable and although I don't vote, I'm expecting him to take it tonight...

Folks seem to be pushing for Danielle White who is a little doll, but I don't know. Jordan will not be one of the 5, although she is as cute as a button, and I'm not sure about Chantel either. Her Dad gets on my nerves and I think last night was her best performance, and the only time her father DIDN'T cry..(bless his heart!)

Katelyn is beautiful she reminds me of a "Seventeen" mag. model, but she won't make the cut...Morgan did well last night but for some reason I am not so into him, his performances remind me of something rather redundant...

I wonder why the Thompson sisters made the cut first two...hhhmmmm. They seem like a good fit together, maybe the band will have to be all SHORT people, then it's Danielle's to win and possible A.J. for his girl appeal....just my two cents worth, I love this show!!!

Lol Monkhead, I said the same thing about the short group and Danielle over in the Poll thread.

Something else struck me while I was watching last night. I have always thought that Chantel was a beautiful girl. She looked great again last night. Then I noticed how much she looks like her father. I think *he* looks like a comic strip character. I was actually laughing as I thought of this. Put this face on a man, he's funny. Put it on a girl and she's beautiful. Strange how we gauge looks on people.

This is just my opinion and in no way should be inferred to be a slam against any individual, flaming, spamming, or an insult. It should not be considered the opinion of this board, it's owners or users.

HOBBS dear, lol about her dad, ROTFL......
She is very unique looking, I do love her look- her dad gives me the creeps tho...you are right to notice how strange it can be to gauge looks on people...yep!

PS They should make a group with the bigger girls Chantel, Lucy and Katelyn...those 3 are quite talented - could you imagine??? Then they should put the tiny petite ones Tori, Taylor,
Danielle, and Jordan together, how cute!! As for the boys, well, whatever!!!!:-)

Okay....It's getting ugly over at BB so I'm coming here for a bit. Even if I am the only one posting, at least no one will complain about it.

I was watching AJ last night and noticed he has that finger thumping the microphone thing going on that we hated in AI. Has anyone else seen this. I screamed inside (didn't want to disturb the sleeping Mrs. Hobbs or kittys).

Hobbs-I will not complain, I too, was reading the other threads and had to take a break from the heat...I did not notice A.J. tapping. Tenyce use to do that and it drove me nuts...What I notice is that his pronounciation of the words have a "Hispanic" ring to them, but I could get use to that...He's a doll, I'm not sure if he's old enough to realize how the girls will fall all over him...hopefully he wont let his hair get TOO much longer, or it might look too messy....

Also, I want to stress that last night's show made a follower out of me for the duration. Those kids are friggin' talented and it would suit me just fine if they declared an "all ten" group...the poor few that dont get picked-hopefully this wont ruin their spirit...I even like that little (underdog) Jordan girl. She has such a cute personality don't you think?? A real sweetie pie I can tell...:-)

I saw it too Hobbs but it doesn't seem to bug me as much because his little fingers don't hang so far off the mic.It's not as noticable.8-)

I didn't notice AJ tapping -- his smile just keeps my gaze away from the fingers. :) He's a doll and I was impressed with his singing enough to vote for him last night.

When does this show end? Next week they will pick the last of the 5 and then is that it? Seems kind of abrupt.

Hmm... guess I better go checkout the storm in the BB threads!

I am wishing for AJ to move on into the group tonight. I just can't imagine Chauncy being the only boy in the group & Morgan is just not a good fit w/anyone who has already made it. The 5th & final member will prob. be Jordan just b/cause she fits the best & seems to be who the TTsis's want.

Dang it - championing Danielle has cost me about 20 points so far in the poll here. :(

AJ and Chantel are pretty much locks to make Top 3 next week. AJ probably has an edge if voters think the group "needs" a boy, and that makes me sad for perennial bridesmaid Chantel.

The others - Danielle, Morgan, Jordan and Katelyn - amazingly have never made the Top 3 even once. Which one is going to break the 'curse' and finally step up?

NO Danielle, no Jordon, no Morgan =

I would prefer AJ over Chantell just so there is a symetry - let Lucy have someone here own age and size - and 2 males - better - I would have had Chantell Lucy and AJ and would have lost Chauncey or the older Taylor sister -

but am happy with Lucy -

If it was me picking but I can't vote so it doesn't matter but if I could it would be:

A.J. , Chantell, Lucy, Danielle and Katelyn.

Just rewatched my tape... Did anyone else notice that ad during AJ for the "Teen Choice Awards"?

I took a look at TVGuide.com and it is listing AJ from 8pm-9pm on Tuesday 8/05 and Tuesday 8/12. But Wednesday 8/06 lists "The Teen Choice Awards" on FOX all night, and Wednesday 8/13 lists repeats of "That's 70s Show" and "The Simpsons".

So will the Tuesday 8/12 be the final show? And will core teen fans even watch it airing against "The Miss Teen USA" pageant on NBC? (TVGuide doesn't list 8/19-20 shows yet.)

And speaking of ads, that show taking over the AJ timeslot on 8/26, "Performing As..."

http://www.fox.com/performingas

is a COMPLETE AND SHAMELESS RIPOFF of the 1999-2001 Dick Clark produced "Your Big Break".
