Steph doesn't deserve to go home this early - but it was inevitable. She was never going to beat the 3 other girl powerhouses.

I can't believe Chris R. was in the bottom 2. I wonder if Chris R. and Blake are too similiar and Blake is going to end up sending Chris home?

Phil, Haylie, and Sanjaya all need to go next though.

I'm not too brokenhearted about Stephanie. I liked her early on but she seemed to lose her likeability factor for some reason and she kept steering far too close to Beyonce for me.

I was stunned about Chris R. If you had asked me a week ago, I wouldn't have been but last night he showed his vocals and steered away from his similiarities to Justin Timberlake. He should not have been in the bottom two. Gina or Sanjaya should have.

Having said all that, Sanjaya should have gone and it appalls me to think he is going to be on the tour over someone like Stephanie.

He better be gone next week. No on deserves to go before him. Oh, and Idol exploited that crying girl WAY too much. If she was ill or a Make A Wish child, they should've said it because it came off really bad for me. I felt horrible for her.

It also seems like they got rid of the eliminated contestant singing at the end of the show. Either that or they ran out of time two weeks straight. I really hope that returns because at this point they are all winners and they should be able to sing once more for their fans. They don't need to remind us about the Idol charity thing and they certainly spend too much time recapping. The eliminations are so rushed now. The only part that is all around good on these results shows now is the guests singing.

I think America got it right with Stephanie but not with Chris R. The disparity between last night and previous weeks makes me wonder if his fans diverted their pity votes to Phil. Bet that won't happen next week and I hope Phil goes next week. I like Sanjaya and hope he stays for a few more weeks. The youngster has talent, looks and charisma. Managed right, he could be a HUGE star. Simon most likely is delighted that Sanjaya is there instead of Stephanie because he will pack the tour houses with teeny-boppers and old ladies :)

America has lost it. Stephanie was off this week, but no way should she have been in the Bottom 2 and went home. Chris Richardson definitely shouldn't have been in the Bottom 2 either. He was very good, I had him 5th place this week. The horrible Haley and Chris Sligh should been the bottom 2 and either of them sent home, these 2 suck. Gina even deserved it this week since she wasn't very good this week and I hate saying that since I've liked Gina since she auditioned this season. Sanjaya usually deserves Bottom 3 but not this week, he was actually shocking pretty good this week (I cannot believe I'm saying that,k but he truthfully was).

Haley was good this week and didn't deserve to go.

Sanjaya sucked and should of gone but compared to past performances, he wasn't that bad and of course with the crying girl that sealed his safety.

Stephanie didn't bring it this week. Did she deserve to go? Nope, but she just didn't bring it. Same for Chris R. I couldn't understand half of what he was singing and was totally forgettable so the bottom 2 didn't surprise me in the least. I would of liked to see the Bottom 3 instead of just the Bottom 2. I think Phil or Gina would of been down there with them. Possibly Haley.

I personally think Phil should of gone. He has his moments where he shines but overall, something about him I just don't like.

I called it before and I'll say it again: Sanjaya is this season's Kellie Pickler. Fans got him on the tour so now he'll probably get eliminated very soon.

But the thing with this season is that almost everyone is really good, so IMO, each week is going to be a surprise. One bad performance and ...

And about the singing ... they ran out of time. On Idol Extra on Fox Reality Channel, they recap the week, talk to the eliminated contestant, have interviews (last week was Carrie Underwood with S5's Lisa Tucker performing) and then feature the eliminated contestant singing on stage (like how the episodes on Fox usually end).

If Sanjaya stays another week, I may have to quit watching. It's just too painful. And that hair.....there are no words.

Gina was great. I also was surprised at how well Phil did tonight. It helped that he wore a hat and covered up his bald head because he really needs to grow some hair. Maybe he could steal a couple of Sanjaya's ponytails.

Pretty good show tonight. Blake is still my favorite guy and Gina is still my favorite girl. I know neither is the best singer in the competition, but American Idol is far more a popularity contest than a singing competition, so this year I'm through with voting for the best and am voting for my favs instead.
