LOL

How are they going to drag tonight’s show out for two hours? Are they going to let each eliminated contestant sing their song again?

I suppose we have to listen to JLo’s song twice so we can hear each ending.

Well, like I said, we’ll see tonight which was more accurate, Dial Idol or the poll.

Yes. When you have high heels on, you need to walk From The Hips, not the knees. Think Marilyn Monroe, not Bessie the Guernsey.

LMAO! Yes, exactly!

Which one do you think is more accurate?

Not sure but if I were to guess Dial Idol has a larger measure. Never heard heard of Vote Fair before you pointed it out. Has it been around long? Dial Idol has been doing this for a while and also does DWTS and SYTYCD too. Then you have Vote For The Worst to contend with. All I know is Dial Idol had Bristol spot on every week last year and failed with Idol when it came down to 4 people.

Do you use the Dial Idol software to vote? I don’t and I don’t know anyone that does.

This one actually should move pretty good since they are eliminating half the contestants. Then, of course, is Jennifer’s video. :-|

If she doesn’t “emotionally connect” or “sing from the heart” the lyrics:

If you go hard you gotta get on the floor
If you’re a party freak then step on the floor
If your an animal then tear up the floor
Break a sweat on the floor
Yeah we work on the floor
Don’t stop keep it moving
Put your drinks up
Pick your body up and drop it on the floor
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor
You know we’re running sh*t tonight on the floor
Brazil Morocco
London to Ibiza
Straight to LA, New York
Vegas to Africa

I’m going to be very disappointed.

My review of the girls, rather, the only girls I even remember.

Ta-ta: couldn’t stand her, forgettable, boring, bad

Secretariat: I actually liked her voice. Hard to watch though.

Rachel: she was actually really good in one of the Hollywood week performances, cute and looked a bit like that actress from My Cousin Viinnie, what happened? Last night it was like someone told her she could do this big sexy song, but she was too scared to carry it off. It was
like someone had a gun to her back and said Dance! sing!

Haley- cute and very comfortable within her skin, good voice

Green card - I have zero tolerance for the mom clutching the Mexican flag, and Karen deciding to sing in Spanish. Together this just feels like life in L.A. And I have resentment. Lol. She actually can sing but I don’t care.

Ashthon - not bad. Maybe a tad too much sass.

Julie from Columbia - so sad! I loved her in the audition process. She picked the wrong song and she sounded bad to boot. She is the cutest one up there. Disappointing.

Thia - loved her. Very pure voice tone. Was a huge fan of Irene Cara singing this big song. The song fits a young girl very well, good choice.

Lauren - very talented. Hard to believe she is so young. Fun, the closest we have to a rocker, a real entertainer.

Pia- she is jacob’s counterpart. Best power voices on the show, buuuuuut can they stay entertaining with their more creative (even if vocally inferior) fellow contestants? Great voice.

I’ve never voted before until Bristol on DWTS last year. Just like to research the trends I guess...and keep up with what you guys are talking about ;o)

Something else to take into account. They changed the format this season. They are not just eliminating 2 people from the men and 3 from the gals. They are eliminating 7 from each with the judges bringing back 2 maybe three.

If people weren’t paying attention at the beginning of the show, to realize this, a lot of people may not have voted thinking only two from each was leaving.

Then again, a lot of people don’t even bother voting until the top 12 or 13 as the case may be.

So, I’m hoping Dial Idol is off a bit. I find it odd that Scotty would get a ton of votes and not Abrams. I would think that if you liked one, you would like the other. I just find Dial Idol’s numbers strange this time out.

I want to watch her drop her body on the floor that is running with sh*t.

Now that would be entertainment!

“How are they going to drag tonight’s show out for two hours?”

We’ve been wondering this ourselves... I know I don’t want to hear reprieves of the 4 worst performances... JLo twice... Don’t want to see kids with flies in their eyes begging for mosquito nets... Not in the market for a Ford... We shall see.

Both those places do not take into account online voting and text message voting.

I don’t think you could have that on regular TV. That’s some HBO stuff. LOL

They are getting rid of 12 and they won’t have time for each to sing their swan songs so, I’m guessing, we’ll get long drawn out eliminations, JLo’s song, maybe twice, and maybe a group number or two, then we have the judges wringing their hands over who to bring back.

One thing we do know, if anyone can drag a 10 minute show out for 2 hours its AI! lol

I agree if you weren’t looking at them and just listening on a radio station in their genres. If they were on MTV neither has that Katy Perry appeal if you know what I mean...see Pia and Kendra. Scotty and Abrams are the most talented of the men and should have been 1&2.

Good points. I know there was a 50 vote limit for the online voting, but what about text votes. Any limit there?
