this is the first time i have seen this show. i liked john arthur martinez, but he needs the mic on the vocals to be louder so his guitar doesn't drown out his voice. i missed the first couple of singers--my daughter said the big guy with the blue workshirt and beige cowboy hat was pretty good, too. who would that be?
i had to laugh at the guy with the 'spiky' hair. it took him about 6 weeks of sundays to come up with 2 lines of his song and it took his friend that long to come up with 2 others. i could see the judges going, "yeah, real prolific songwriter here. it would take 27 years for him to come up with enough self-written songs for one cd!"

That would be Jamey and I really liked him too. Brandon is getting on my nerves and so is Brandi. The rest seem like a pretty good lot. Of course, that only leaves Buddy and John Arthur who are my favs and Amy and Miranda, who sound good too. I think so far, they have done a good job of getting people that are singer/songwriters.

I am voting for Brandon again to be out next. He can't last much longer.

I'm voting for Brandon because I think he made more than just the judges mad last night!! I have picked him EVERY week except last week. I have never WON any week either. I am voting early because last week I almost forgot I hadn't voted.

Brandon, dude...you HAVE to go! what you said was disrespectful and downright nasty.....and warbling in and out of tune is NOT singing......

I am still undecided. I'll probably want to watch the repeat before making a decision.

My preference is for Brandon to go...but, I think he has a fan base. If we were voting who should leave, we might stand a chance for him to go (because the majority of folks would have been turned off by his comments last night, whether or not they liked him.) But the way we vote, votes are diluted by spreadig them out amongst the others.

Personally, some of the favorites are not my favorite. Miranda is cute as a bug but I just don't think she is that great. I understand that Amy is talented, but she just hasn't moved me yet. I love John Arthur M., but I think his voice is weak.

So, I want Brandon to go...but I don't know that he will go yet this week (I do not see him winning no matter what kind of fan base he has).

I'll wait a bit longer to put in my prediction.

Has anyone heard yet what they will be singing next week?

of the 6 left, I am pretty sure that Buddy, John, Brandi and Brandon were "also-rans" ie not part of the original 5 winners but were picked as the 7 extras. What about Amy and Miranda...were they original winners in their city finals?

The only ones left that were original winners are Amy and Miranda. All the rest were in the 7 extra.

The nice thing about that is that 4 of the 7 that didn't make the first cut are still there and beat out 3 that did make the first cut. Says something for not giving up.

The sad thing is, I think the judges and Sony really want Amy or Miranda and they will end up there in the end no matter what the popular vote.

(either through the judges skewing their comments or phone lines not being available, which apparently happend a lot this week).

Hopefully they have all had enough exposure that their careers will still be boosted.

I don't know the names of all of the contestants very well (except for John Arthur and Amy), but I like this show a lot. It's got a different feel than American Idol and I'm thinkin' that it's a lot lighter in the drama department. Don't get me wrong, I'm addicted to AI, but getting sick of the cutesy gimmicks.

I think comparison makes this show more enjoyable. Not to mention the fact that all of the contestants that I've seen so far are better singers and performers than the kids on AI and can play instruments as well! Go Figure! I always forget when it's on, but catch it on repeats and I've never seen an entire show all the way through, but I like the judges' attitudes and the whole demeanor of the show. Well, the host is a little iffy, but at least she doesn't have too many hokey lines.

Just bopped in here to see what you guys think and spout off my opinion, FWIW

I think Jamie is much, much better than Brandon and don't know how he got eliminated first. That business of calling the different numbers to see whose is busy and whose isn't must be throwing a monkey wrench into the voting. I wish people would cut that out. What good can it possibly do anyway?

I finally got to see the show. I wasn't so fond of the men's songs butliked the womens...maybe because I am a woman? I confess that I have no ear at all for music so my opinion is worth absolutely nothing.

my favourites remain Buddy and John and Brandi though. I want Brandon to go but I am afraid it will be Brandi this week so she gets my sad vote here.

My pick to go this week is Brandon.

Jan, I like John, Buddy, and Brandi too.

Ok, I'm going to say Brandon to go this week.

(although I won't be surprised if he doesn't, he seems to have a decent fan base, but he really needs to go)

Thanks

Remember it comes on at 9 central time. I'll run in here during the commercials and let you know what's happening.

Brandon not voted off, darn!

Ok...we won't know until the end of the show this time. I'm thinking John Arthur or Amy (please don't let it be Brandi)

First time posting here, thought they all sounded bad on the opening number. They aren't announcing the loser, instead calling the winners, in no particular order to sing. First up - BRANDON!!! And he sounds horrible.

Brandon...Country Boy Can Survive

Charlie...sang better this week, played in a bar I'd go, I'm not sure how that translates into a record deal

Tracy...says would watch, not ready for a record

Robert...you know who you are and what songs are right for you.

How does Brandon keep making it??? Oh well, that means I didn't win this week either!! The judges keep saying that he hasn't got what it takes right now. So what are they gonna do if he ends up winning this thing????
