This is probably shaping up to be my least favorite season. Every week is a bore.

I agree. Actually most of this years singers are/were poor!! Last year ..for me..i got attached to over half of the Top 12...this year..i only have major soft spots for i think 4.

I think all of the IDOLS except Kellie Pickles were good this week.

The best of the night was definitely Katharine McPhee----OUTSTANDING, and I agree very professional.

Chris Daughtry, Paris Bennett and Elliott Yamin were next. I was surprised that I actually thought Taylor Hicks was good, since he's been getting on my freaking nerves for awhile now. My bottom 3 ----Ace Young, Taylor Hicks (although IMHO Ace & Taylor really don't deserve it either) and of course Kellie Pickler, with the !@#$%^&*] going home!! Please, please let it be. TV GUIDE's poll has her and Ace as the bottom 2, with Ace going home. So fellow Pickle haters, she may be gone soon, soon. Let's hope!!!!!!!

"I butchered it. EWWWWW" Kellie Pickler, get the f#@% off the stage! I hate her too!

Kellie....irks me

Katharine, Elliott and Chris were my top 3. Screw Simon, Elliott showed loads of personality. I don't get it. And he's the best singer. Ace must go!

I agree. I though he showed lots of personality and was one of the night's best. I voted for him, Chris, Katharine and Paris.

Kellie was unbelievable bad, if she doesn't go home tonight then there's no justice in this world. My bottom 3, Kellie, Ace, and Chris, with Kellie hopefully and finally going home (but I'm not holding my breath).

Exactly about Kellie. Chris definitely was out of his element, but definiely does NOT deserve the bottom 3, in fact, he was one of the best.

You know, it is just amazing. I can't see how Chris was so good. I mean, thank GOD he didn't go for a stupid heavy metal take on the standards but he just didn't blow me away. If we handed out letter grades, I'd actually give him a B-. Good effort but nothing groundbreaking.

McPhee is a McPHENOMENON. She should win this thing. And she most certainly had her moment last night. So much feeling and connection with the song and audience...I think she even shed a tear during the song. I recorded it and played it over and over and over again and it seemed like that's what it was.

And about Kellie. I just think some of you hate her guts no matter what. She wasn't THAT bad on her song. Her big problem was rushing ahead of the music. Otherwise, she could have handled it. Granted, she wouldn't have had it locked, because it wasn't the right song for her voice..but she wouldn't have "butchered" it if it were any other song. That song was CRAP.

I can't wait 'til the naysayers about Katherine McPHABULOUS eat their words--particularly the ones on this board who've displayed much criticism toward this McLegend-in-the-making!

ITA.

Also, the last three weeks have just been blah and unimpressive and boring. *THIS* is one show that should get better and better with every season - not worse and worse. I thought maybe the last two weeks were just bad weeks, but after three consecutive weeks, it's hard to keep blaming bad song choices and lame themes.

Did u vote for Pickler King? I know u wanted that number for urself!! LOL!! Kidding!!

My rents are little worried for Kellie. Although, I don't know why. She's too popular to leave yet, if at all. And besides, I kind of liked how she admitted it sucked. The contestants don't do that enough. I respect them when they do that.

So it WAS for you,eh? Whatever the reason i do like Kellie..and i am very proud of her going this far and getting this opportunity.

For my parents! I don't vote. No landline at school.

I see. So who would u vote for during this whole Top 12?

Kellie has sucked on about every song she's sung except Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight" and one additional song.

Sorry ... Kellie blows chunks.

I thought this week was great compared to the last two weeks of pure hell and horrendous performances.

I'm actually becoming a Taylor fan. To me, I'm disappointed because Paris, Chris, Taylor, Katharine and Elliot all have the potential to be fantastic, yet they still aren't all that great yet.

Argh. This is a disappointing season because good ones are eliminated and the sucky ones stay because they are "hot". I miss the first AI when it was actually based on talent (Except for the Nikki debacle).

I'd probably vote for Paris or Chris, pretty consistently every week, they've been the best, IMO.

CHRIS CHRIS CHRIS!!

Time for someone to get booted off soon!! I am anxious!!
