Wow, I'm mindblown that Mandissa got voted off. Frankly I'm sure it's just because she's fat. She has the best voice of the females. How Ace is staying in there I cannot guess!. except to think that it's a bunch of 21 year olds voting for him cause they think he's good looking!

Hey, rickj,
I was completely shocked, too!! Guess that's what makes life interesting.
Mandissa, in my opinion, has the best voice of all of them! She was even told by Barry Manilow (spelling?) that she could have a job with his team anytime, if she didn't win this. I am sure she will have many, many offers from others!
I like Kelly; I think that's the name... Blonde girl, country singer... dumb as a rock sometimes, but really good.

I think that Mandisa was sent home because the last couple of weeks her choice of songs wasn't as good as before. I agree too that because she is so heavy, the really awesome performances on her part was the only reason she was staying, and as soon as she had a bad week she put herself in jeopardy and was voted off. Like you say Fred, Mandisa was offered a job by Barry Manilow, so I hope she takes it! She may have received other offers too that we're not aware of. I'm sure we'll be seeing her again.

I agree about Ace too. He's not very good. But yeah he IS very attractive, if you like the pretty boy look. Personally I don't LOL. I'd prefer someone like Bo Bice from last year or Chris from this year (with hair though!). I like more "rugged" looking guys. I also like guys who sing like MEN haha. Ace sings too pretty boy-ish for me.

I have no idea what's going to happen this coming week. I guess it will depend a lot on the singing. But judging by who was in the bottom three this week, it seems like anyone is fair game to get booted off. I hope they sing some better songs this week, though... horror of horrors, I'm actually getting kind of bored with the show, especially the last 2 weeks!

Errr, I wonder how many Queen songs are going to be murdered tonight? Queen is one of my favorite bands, so I'm going to be very critical! :p

I think it was basically all not so hot.

... and I've lost all respect for Chris: He just doesn't get it. Why does he have to try to turn everything into Metal?

Truthfully, I fell asleep before the last two, including my favorite... so I'll have to watch the recording tonight.

Again, Ace stunk it up big time!! I can't believe that joker is still in there!

Yeah I agree. I was very, very unimpressed with the show, it was boring, and no one stood out as being fantastic. I have no idea who will go home tonight. Once again, I have a feeling the voting is about who's most popular, and not the best singers. Even Randy said vote for people in spite of the song. That stinks. :(

What happened to Queen tonight? I thought they were going to perform? We had Passover Seder and I purposely DVRed the show so I could see Queen, but they weren't there. :(

Well I have no idea who's getting kicked off tonight... I thought they all did a good job, much better than last week! I guess Queen songs are very hard to sing! :p

I'm going to make a guess though and say Elliot or Ace, just because they were the weakest compared to the others last night.

Well Ace went home. No surprise there. But I was surprised at who was in the bottom three. I thought Chris and Paris did really well last night.

Ace went home. He should have been voted off much earlier, but has many "followers".
Another probably to be voted off will be Elliot Yamin, who has a great voice, but not that much "showmanship".
Chris will probably be off, too.
Next American Idol, my prediction, will be Kelly. And, I hope she has a trustworthy agent! She will need it.

I think Elliot has the best voice of the remainders, but you're right about showmanship. I think my favorite, Taylor, has the best showmanship, but his "same old same old" voice will, I think, not get enough votes to win it.

Well, now we are down to 5? I'm not sure I'm as excited about it anymore, since my baby Noah is here, haha! :p But I will try to watch tonight, in any event. I hope they perform better, as I was getting a little bored by the performances lately.

I missed it last night; will have to watch the recording. How'd my man Taylor do?

Taylor did okay I think. Not the best I've ever seen him, but pretty good. I really hated Chris last night. Way too rock alternative. Not sure who will go home. Maybe Elliot or Paris.

I think the brunette is better than Paris - and I like Elliot far more than Chris.

Both Chris and Elliot have fantastic voices: Chris being the better showman and Elliot being far better with a wider variety of songs.

If I were voting for who gets booted, I'd have to go with Paris.

I agree with you. I think Paris will likely go. If someone else goes I will be very surprised.

We were right!

Now, who's next for the chopping block?

I am now fully convinced that Elliot has the best voice of the bunch, but Taylor is still my favorite...

I'm convinced that from here on out, quality means little. People are already decided who their favorite is. Their favorite could puke on the stage and it wouldn't matter.

A wild guess: Chris will go next.

Yes I agree, singing doesn't matter much from here on. Although, if someone is really terrible this coming week it might be the difference between staying another week and going home.

I have no idea who will go this week... I usually like to predict after I see them sing. But I will make a wild guess too and say it will be Elliot. Then on Wednesday we can see which of us is right. ;)

The pure fascination of American Idol will forever be lost on me. Lol.

LOL well no one's forcing you to watch it!

I used to feel guilty about watching AI and other reality TV shows, when I could be watching something more educational. But I always seem to get hooked! :p
