HA HA!

[BamaDi]

I’m out of here....wish it’d been the irish chick but hey, wasn’t thrilled with the biker chick either....see ya’ll next week....

[DCPatriot]

Can't see what you saw in her, SJ. Seriously.

No range. Too coarse.

[retrokitten]

I'm frickin' pissed.

{GASP!} I've never heard you use such foul talk! Frankly, I am shocked. ;-)

[Wolfstar]

He and his dread gnats are safe

Grin...I think we're going to have a lot of fun with that until he goes home.

[SunnyUsa]

good riddance skunk woman

[DCPatriot]

What drama?? Anybody knew damned well, she was safe.

meanwhile this screaming.....

[mathluv]

I did not get to see/hear much last night, with the storms, etc., but I am glad to see this one leave. I don’t like to be yelled at.

[Netizen]

Zabasearch site says: Kristy Lee Cook received the fewest phone and text votes after the March 18 performance.

I haven't been impressed with ANY of Kristy's songs.

Amanda remains in good spirits. No tears.

Carly is crying though.

She sings Back In The USSR again, trying to make the best of it.

Damn it.

If she buys an album, I'll buy it.

[retrokitten]

We are apparently the only Amanda fans. :-(

[Wolfstar]

Then she walk out on stage live, singing "Red High Heels"

That was a solid hit for her. She is looking and singing really good these days. I think some of the reason might be due to the confidence she must have gotten from her hit album and singles. I'm happy for her. :)

[Clint N. Suhks]

Now we can focus on important things like the
"Save Shannon Defense Fund"!

[silent_jonny]

You know you want to download R. Kelly now.

Yes--he's my favorite :)

Did you hear that smattering of applause when she said his name? LOL! That's about right.

I think in Carly’s case it was less about her and humility (I think David C would be near the top of the list of needing some of that). And I completely agree b/c I think she’s FAR less cocky than...probably at least half of them! LOL. There are several others that seem way more self-entitled feeling, and most of them have NOT earned that, IMO!

I think it was more that she and David A have been (even publicized pre-season) as VERY well liked by the producers and that often doesn’t sit well. So I think it’s partially to counteract that, and partially because she seems SO, SO safe in the eyes of most people, that they want to make sure her voters don’t take it for granted and that she DOES go out (legitimately) before she should.

I think it was more a fan “wake up call” attempt. I think the Brooke sort of (to most people) slightly overly critical last night judging was a similar thing, and just expected that, but on a huge scale, for Carly next week (unless she was SO flawless they’d have to do it the next week).

David A got himself that last week by default...but I suspect he’ll be in the same position soon. And if Brooke has another strong week like “Let it Be” last week, she’ll probably be another oddly placed B3 or recipient of an extra-harsh judging the next week. I think those 3 and David C are probably now their hopes for F4 (I think before his mess they had David H perhaps there instead)...and they don’t want one of them going mid-season b/c of apathy or voter rebellion.

[mathluv]

I liked the one she did country - but I prefer country to other types of music.

[Cudjo]

Nope you all aren’t alone, I like Amanda, she livens things up

[Wolfstar]

Fantasia—please stop screeching Amazing Grace. Please.

Ugh, ugh, ugh! I'll need to fast foward through her segment.

[DCPatriot]

She's going home next week.

Will give odds...... LOL!

[ladyinred]

I am doing the happy dance! LOL! I didn’t like her smart mouth among other things! Yippee!!!
