When you said it was floating sideways I thought the bladder was bad and it would die. I’m sure the plant will like it. Dual use out of the fish. Hoe conservative of you. :)

What a display of favoritism.

````````````````````````

My comments are more towards HOW they did it, rather than the decision to use the save.

Pure theatrics.

Highly doubt, we would have seen the rush up onto the stage if it was someone
else.

I don't know. I'm not convinced it was staged. The camera shots looked like the cameramen had no idea what was going on. I think they would have used the save on any of this past bottom three, and I think they ran onstage for Jessica because she's a teenager and felt a desire to comfort her. Some celebrities have hearts, you know.

Jessica was devastated. She won't show it for herself (she's shown it for other contestants) but when she was singing her save song, there was the slightest hint of pitchiness. That's the only way anyone could sense a drop in her poise...she was fighting with every ounce of strength she had.

I think she's an awesome singer and an awesome person. Everybody around here seems to think she's a princess. She's the daughter of a Navy vet. I doubt her parents have spoiled her in any way.

I agree. The judges didn’t look shocked. Jessica has been doing this a long time and been on America’s Got Talent. She’s not some little kid that has never had her song critiqued before.

You are soooo right. That was the same problem I had. Those other 6 kids. It was like they didn't matter.

Obviously those other 6 kids do matter to the voting audience or their “best singer in America” wouldn't have come in dead last.

She is a good singer. But so what. Her song choices and her personal style on stage do nothing for me.

I was completely disgusted by that ridiculous “oh my goodness... the sky is falling” joke of an ending.

Jessica has talent , and I was very surprised she was in the go home spot.

The judges made it all about them by the quick save and commentary , that’s the part that bothered me, and we shall see how the voters respond this next round with no save available.

Agree, she can sing, but song choices do matter and viewers do not like being told who to vote for.

Barry should use Randy Jackson in his campaign ads scolding America how to vote...yeah, that’ll work. :)

Good one.

Something like “ Yo Yo, America, this guy is Dope... ( first true statement of season )

Simon wouldn’t have made such a spectacle of himself on stage and it’s so fake and forced this season.

I don't know about that. When Rachel Crow (I had to google her name) was eliminated from X-Factor, Simon ran up on stage and embraced the sobbing girl while he shot daggers at Nicole Scherzinger (thanks again, google).

Speaking of Rachel, she sang the Nation Anthem at the White House Easter Egg Roll last Monday.

They probably had to glue Obama's hand to his chest.

If one is saved tonight, two will go next week. I think that’s how it works.

Normally, it would. But they had to kick out a singer earlier so now the show is a week behind schedule. If they only eliminate only one person this week then they'll be back on track.

They made FOOLS out of themselves jumping on stage. America voted; deal with it, dogs.

LOL!

That’s one of the reasons I didn’t like the X-Factor - too much personal participation between the judges and the contestants, yet, I know that’s what the show is about. I prefer the opposite. I also HATE when the judges on Idol give standing ovations - I think they should just sit and applause. Just my feelings.

Can’t wait for X-Factor, the host and judges are better.

Simon fired the host and half the judges.

What about the other six kids standing there?

I agree. That was totally inconsiderate. They could have had all the drama they wanted without Big Mouth Randy's lecture. "America, vote for the best!"

"And what are we, Randy?"
