ya'know Idol use to be more of a singing competiion. I think it past that road and veered off somewhere. To know who was in the bottom three last night was totally about ratings. You can't tell me the public kept Tim out of there Not to happy with Idol.

I like Mike's personality. But I've been surprised over the past few weeks to discover that I walk out of the room when he's singing. I'll start listening and decide it's time for a bathroom break or whatever. I haven't heard much of his singing lately because of this. The reality is that Mike can sing, but he sings too many old fashioned romantic songs. I like that he's a romantic who loves his wife but it's boring week after week. Bottom line: he's boring me. But I do like Mike. That's why I don't vocally oppose him. I'm just luke warm about his singing. He doesn't attract hate, but he's not attracting enough fans either.

They are muscles. He's not flexing. They are that big without flexing. However, he looks fat when he wears a jacket or long sleeves. Mike would be better off wearing short sleeves so people can see that they are truly muscles.

I think Mike has a great talent and I'm glad they pulled him back from outsville. This not about whether he's fat or not. I love to listen to him.
I don't know the kid's name, but there's one kid who should go. After that, someone is going every week and each of them is super good.
Katie was really extra good, and she might actually win. Sioban is great and could win, and the dreadlocks girl (I'm bad at names) is good (but historically, America doesn't like piercings and tattoos), so we'll just need to wait and see.

Hmm. Interesting that you should say this. It dawned on me today that every other time a contestant leaves, they get to sing a song, the judges say "no way" and then they do a little film clip of their time with Idol. However, I noticed last night Ryan Seacrest didn't leave enough time to do a film clip, so I thought that maybe the producers knew he would be saved by the judges. But maybe you're right, and the whole thing was staged. But -- from the look on Big Mike's face, I don't think he was in on it.

This is the second time Mike has been saved. Wasn't he supposed to be tossed off at the beginning because his dad or uncle talked? Are they setting him up to be in the top 2?

Someone said he didn't sing - but I think he did and they didn't show it. I just watched it again. Simon said, "We wish you had done something like that yesterday." So did they just cut that out of the show?

I've given up thinking this is a singing contest a long time ago. In some way, all the top 9 are "commercial" to a certain audience. Herman's Hermits sold records, so Tim can . He'll be a teen idol for awhile. Mike should go into religious music. AI is probably just watching the ITunes downloads to see what the demographics are of the people who buy their stuff.

I agree though. That was a ratings stunt. They did that last year, too. They'd put one of the popular ones in there just to say, 'Vote people!'

It took me over an hour to get a vote in for Crystal. So people are definitely voting for her.

eh - who knows...

I watched it online and they didn't show it. I had to leave early so I missed the final elimination. Thanks!
