The theme this week is stupid. They should have just picked Gwen/No Doubt songs. They shouldn't have gotten into the influences. It just gets messy.

I'm sick of Lakisha. She's amazing, but it's the same every week. Blah Blah Blah. I feel like I've seen this performance from her ten times already. Boring! She does nothing for me. Sorry.

Chris Sligh - he is one of my favs, and he was very disappointing.

Gina - I love her! She really felt the song and gave it the emotional umph it needed. I am a big Gina fan.

LOL! Gwen saying Sanjaya needs luck! And he does. God, he sucks. But I kind of like him. He amuses me. And he forgot the words. God, I love it.

Hailie - Good song, but she is not good. Sorry once again, but when she gets into the thick of songs, she stinks. Simon said it the best - forgettable.

Phil - he basically just imitated The Police's version. I really do not enjoy him anymore.

Melinda - she's definitely growing on me. She can outsing Lakisha...and Fantasia. The song kind of stank, but she sang it really well.

Blake - He's very good, but his ego will be his downfall.

Jordin - so obsessed!!!!! Not her best, but dayum, she did great things with HEY BABY!

Chris - He's so sexy. He did so well tonight. I'm proud of him. I prefer him to Blake.

Exactly - that was the point that drove me over the edge. After that 'hug', I just had to say something about it. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way...

Oh and I just caught Chris R.'s performance on YouTube, since my tape missed it last night bc AI ran over....and I actually really liked his version of "Don't Speak". He did a great job IMO, especially the beginning of the song.

I loved Chris Richardson and Melinda Doolittle last night.

I don't think Ryan was dissing Melinda as much as responding to some of the funny stuff that's been said. If you guys haven't watched the E! "Melinda Doolittle School of Humility" sketch, go find it and watch. It's hilarious.

I hope Chris Sligh goes home tonight. I'm really sick of him. To me, it seems like he thinks he's funny, and I can't stand people who THINK they're funny.

Sanjaya may not be the best singer, but between the crying girl and mohawk, his performances have made me laugh harder than I have during any sitcom this year. In terms of being an interesting TV Show, I would rather watch Sanjaya than Phil or Chris S. or Haley any day. None of them are going to win so we might as well be entertained along the way.

Well - I'm not too sad to see Chris Sligh go home. I really liked him in the beginning - but after the live shows started, he really stopped impressing me - and he quit being funny. Each week it just got worse and worse....

Phil and Hayley still need to go next. Well Sanjaya too, but at least his hair brings drama/entertainment to the show. Phil and Hayley are just BORING.

Chris S. was at the bottom of my list and also Dial Idol and AOL polls. I think it was obvious that he would be going. Somewhere along the way, he seemed to loose his charm and just couldn't get it back. His voice is very pretty and I loved how he sang tonight while giving each remaining contestant a hug. Classy.

I agree. The next two to go will be Haley and Phil.

Sanjaya has got to go!!

I mean, he has been in the bottom one week. That is sad.

Having said that, like Stephanie who left last week Chris S lost alot of his appeal. He seemed to peek early and he was quite standoffish at times. He sometimes turned me off with his attitude and forced humor. There were also rumors that he wasn't that interested in the competition anymore and only doing it for his fans at this point as it wasn't what he expected.

I like Haley but Phil has got to go next. I think if Haley stops acting like McPhee II she will be fine. That is partly Ai's fault because of how they make her look but I feel she has potential if she gives a effort to give out a solid performance each week.

I was also happy they let Chris S sing. They did a much better job with time tonight. I was happy they brought back the end with the eliminated contestant singing and I was happy to see Chris embrace his fellow contestants and say goodbye. That is what I like to see. It was classy and I am glad Idol is showing that kind of ending for the show again. It was missed and so is the group performances. I wish those would come back but they give alot of time to recapping, the guest mentor, promoting stuff, etc.

Not looking to Tony Bennett but hopefully things go better then this week. I was really bored this week and didn't like the broadness of the theme and so on.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
