for Tammy

[TonyWpi]

I like Lisa.

She's only 16 and has a good voice. She was in the bottom 3 last week so I'm voting for her.

She's at least better than Paris and Bucky.

[Conservative Texan Mom]

When Paula talks I want to puke.

I was really hoping Taylor would do a top-notch blues song. This might have been his best chance to do one.

He really blew it tonight. What was he thinking? I still don't know what song he was singing. All I remember is his herky-jerky dancing. Very cheesy.

[Wolfstar]

The best tonight, IMO, are: Mandisa, Chris and McPhee. Ugh, they just showed Taylor's recap--TERRIBLE!

It's a shame about Taylor. On the other hand, it's getting to the point in the competition when the top four or five need to separate themselves from the others. Taylor won't be going home, though.

Believe it or not, I have NEVER seen American Idol before tonight. I was scrolling down the TV channels since NCIS was a rerun, and decided to see what the hype was all about.

I have to agree with your top three.

Far and away, Chris? (Walk the line singer) blew me away. I love Johnny Cash, and when I heard he was redoing it, I almost changed the channel, but wow, I thought it was great!!! I really don't like remixes generally, but I would actually pay for a copy of this one. Mandisa followed up as number 2 for me, and I am a little unsure of number 3. I do know that I really liked the nerdy kid, but I can see most posters here don't feel the same.

[EmilyGeiger]

Awww...now you gone and done it. Giving me baby fever!!! :) What a sweet picture. They're beautiful.

[retrokitten]

No, this is the one who tried to pet a wild male buffalo at Custer State Park in South Dakota.

[Maximus of Texas]

Yes I am. I'm voting for Chris, Taylor and Kelly.

[Fawn]

I think that Simon and I have hardly ever been on the same page...and I don't listen to Paula and Randy.

I know ...simon is really the one they want to hear...constructive criticism.

[Howlin]

Fine by me!

[EmilyGeiger]

LOL! Wasn't that funny? I was driving my car laughing like crazy. People thought I was a sick twisted freak I am sure.

[DouglasKC]

I like Lisa. She's only 16 and has a good voice. She was in the bottom 3 last week so I'm voting for her.

I like her too, but she just never stands out, at least to me.

[TonyWpi]

I was disappointed with Taylor tonight too. But he's still "da man!"

He should have done a Ray Charles tune!

[Maximus of Texas]

I agree. It's innocent and charming. You can't help but like her.

[retrokitten]

Normally, Kevin (the nerdy kid LOL!) stinks to high heaven, but he wasn't that bad tonight. I'm sure he'll be sticking around for at least another week.

[Wolfstar]

True. But she was much better than last week--and by "better" I mean I didn't have to mute her

Walkin' After Midnight is a great song. Great songs and good arrangements can make average singers sound better than they actually are.

[silent_jonny]

This is just terrible.....ouchhhhhhhhhh!

As much as that sucked--and it did suck--Simon's right: Ace won't be in the bottom three this week.

My picks for the bottom three:
Pee Wee
Lisa
And maybe Bucky

Lisa was so bland and forgettable, it'll probably be her.

[Conservative Texan Mom]

I think top three are Chris, McPhee, and Pickler.
Bottom three Bucky, Kevin and Lisa

[EmilyGeiger]

Bottom 3 for me were Bucky, Kevin and either Ace or Lisa. But Bucky will probably be the one to go home. :(

[Feiny]

I pray he gets voted off....Kevin is a little twerp who actually believes the hyped BS press on him...it is sad & disturbing. Clay never got a big head....even with his Claymates.
