I was shocked that Haley made the top 12. She is so plain vanilla. I'm like Simon .... what's her name, I don't remember her. I was shocked. What an injustice. Not shocked at Sanjaya. He does have a charm and I rather enjoy him myself. He won't be difficult to watch because he is just a happy looking sweet kid and a good voice. I am again in Simon's corner saying that Stephanie should be third after Melinda and LaKisha. I hope she blossoms and can get the fanbase she deserves. Frankly, I only see Chris S., Chris R., and Blake in the top six. It will be a girls event in the end I think.

I was shocked by the shocker LOL. Stunned may be more accurate. I thought, what on earth does this have to do with Ameican Idol. It's a fine thing but just out of the blue. I thought it was a bit wrong to announce it the way it was. At any rate, it's a great gesture.

There are too many divas on this season and that's why I think Sabrina went home. Sabrina, Lakisha, Stephanie and Melinda are all different but are still the big voice diva type singers. In years past there were more options and usually a country singer in the mix. I think Melinda will eventually win the diva vote and Lakisha and Stephanie will go earlier than some expect which will help at least one boy make it to the final.

Bra-VA. Calling something a "stepping stone" is not a bad thing.

Especially if J.Hud used it to refer to AI. And THAT'S what Simon's pissed about?

Uh, uh, sorry, girlfriend, but that dog won't hunt.

Simon, AI doesn't get just anyone an Oscar. Grammy, maybe, but NEVER and Oscar. That's HUGE. So, for J.Hud, "stepping stone" is the right word. Because when it comes to acting, AI didn't help. That was ALL on J.Hud.

Oh, did ANYONE see EVERYONE'S face -- most importantly, SABRINA'S -- when she got voted off?

I wasn't expecting that at all, based on talent, but again I also was, you know? I really half-expected the vote to stay would go to Haley; ESPECIALLY after the indelible image of Simon ripping her to shreds while her fiance was heartbroken for her out in the audience. She gets sympathy that way. People don't want to let her FIANCE down.

Im glad Haley stayed bc I like her. She has a great personality and while not the best singer, she tries her best adn has fun. I dont see her staying long though

I know this is superficial, but I hated Sabrina's hair and am not sad to see her gone bc I hate the curly/stringy look. It does nothing for her

Is anyone even srurpised that Sanjaya stayed? Once I saw him with Sunsance, I knew he was staying. They do this every year. They put a young teen boy who lacks talent and he becomes the show's whipping boy. Simon bashes him and voters to keep him in all while good singers go home and he's made out to be a big joke. Sanjaya is this years joke. Last year it was Kevin (Chicken Little) and the year before it was Jon Stevens. I feel bad for Sanjaya bc unlike them, he doesnt seem to have as tough skin and I dont think he will take to the criticisim and bashing too well

DaysnPassionsFan ain't that the truth. Blake has originality and style, while Melinda has poise and control. Out of the boys I think Blake excels. Chris R. channels Justin Timberlake too much an is cringeworthy at lower notes. I can't wait to see how Melinda/Lakisha handle the theme week. IMHO Melinda is probably the best thing on Idol since Frenchie. Her voice, control, versatility, and power is incredible. Lakisha is great too, but I keep seeing her as trying to be the next Jennifer Hudson. Annnnd she hasn't shown as much versatility, or range yet. She excels at the high notes, and has a powerful voice, but lacks at the softer side. I can already guarantee that next time she'll be singing R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Oy.

alwaysAMC thanks for the YouTube link! I've watched it about a dozen times now :D Funny thing I noticed...Lakisha's aunts were up and standing when Melinda first begun, and then around 1:40 to 1:45 they are completly still. LOL they KNOW that there niece has a STIFF competitor in Melinda, and I bet they were scurrred :lol:

As for the top 12... can't really complain because my three favorites are there (Melinda/Blake/Stephanie).

BTW note to judges: YOU put them through so DON'T be floored when a so-called bad singer makes it. IDIOTS. And secondly, Mr. Randy Jackson, stop your BULL on how people shouldn't tackle certain singers like Mariah and Whitney. And what's funny is that Lakisha sings a Whitney song and doesn't get called on her shi.t and yet Stephanie does it and it's like 'hold up?' WTF ever judges.

One more thing...I'm tired of I HAVE NOTHING. <_<

Maybe because LaKisha did Whitney justice and sang the heck out of that song.

I agree that Melinda will surpass the other divas. Stephanie will be the first out in our first "shocker" elimination. Same will go for Phil (both are good, but I can't see them really knocking it out of the park). Brandon, Sanjaya and Haley will be the first three out, if there is a god.

Chris Sligh, Melinda, Blake and Jordin will be our final four. I'm almost convinced of it. Lakisha will come just short, like many past divas.

She sang it just like Whitney though. I thought they preached on 'make it your own.' Too much of a double standard there. Now Melinda makes the songs her own (My Funny Valentine, hands down). Lakisha did a good job, but it's been done to death, and we know that she can belt it out, so I'd like to see something different.

As for Melinda...even if she doesn't make it, she still has a bight future ahead.

LOL, I was just thinkin' of how funny (and yet sad) it would be, if your own family voted against you.

Blake is really different. Hicks was really different. If the voters are on the role for different this year, Blake could win. I really love his EVERYTHING LOL. Melinda should be doing her own tours already and LaKisha is wonderful, but it could be Blake and LaKisha. I love Chris S. and Chris R. but they are not different really except that Chris R. may be more popular due to a Western trend. Just musing. I need to see them all in the big stage performances.

It's only one elimation from here on in Jean. That is the way it always is. I do think Brandon and Haley could go home very early. I am hoping Sanjaya is first though.

I LOVED Vonzell. She improved so much as she went along. I hear nothing about her now. I wonder if anyone else has heard anything? :unsure:
