They’ll put Amanda in the bottom three.

America got this wrong.

Ramelie wasn't even in the bottom three! That's messed up.

[Mark was here]

I'm just glad we got to see behind the scenes hijinks during the filming of a Ford commercial.

[retrokitten]

He lives in the southern Chicago suburbs near one of my coworkers and actually had his street declared “Private”!

I think of the Dave Chappell R. Kelly video every time I hear anything about him. If you haven’t seen it, google it, I’m embarrassed to say I find it hysterical!

[Wolfstar]

Elliott is overwhelmed.

Elliott is really sweet.

[commish]

I got the bottom three and the vote off right tonight.

I had the order worng though, I had Kristy 10, Carly 11, Amanda 12.

[retrokitten]

The night would have been incomplete with out it!

[Wolfstar]

Amanda is cut.

Well, I suppose I'm not surprised by this result. Except for the dread gnats, this is pretty much a vanilla pop year on AI.

[Wolfstar]

And Kristy Lee Stays. I'm frickin' pissed.

Has to be due to her Barbie doll looks. A lot of the AI voters still play with Barbie.

I agree...she’ll go next week or the week after (that was KL I’m gathering from reading the post you were replying to, right? LOL). They wanted her on tour and that picture/home thing last night was just enough to get her the sympathy votes to stay another week. Actually, I think they wanted Amanda, too...but if she really was the lowest vote getter.... I think KL=Haley from last season...they want the teen boys to have a girl to oogle over on the tour. IMO. LOL

Amanda was cool.

[silent_jonny]

Did you see her at some awards show when she broke down? It was really sweet. She got a standing O. I’m sure someone around here knows what I am talking about.

Yep :)

I don't remember which award show it was though.

[misterrob]

And the thing is, it’s actually an improvement over last year’s bunch.

[retrokitten]

Oh last years crop was the worst!! Had it not been for the thread I wouldn’t have watched.

[Wolfstar]

Amanda was cool.

Yes, which means she was the odd person out in this vanilla seasons.

[Netizen]

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

I HATED that one! It was enough to make a person nauseous. Simon nailed it, she has no personality.

[DCPatriot]

I wrote those 4 names as my FINAL FOUR and my waitress put it in her book. David A.
David C.
Carly
Brooke

Done deal.

David C. to win if it ended today.

[Netizen]

She's going home next week.

I think so, too. I think AI decided they didn't want Amanda on the tour. jmo

[misterrob]

I don’t think she’s done a great job on anything but there are glimpses of her singing talent. She’s not overwhelming but there is something there.

The lack of experience as compared to some of the other singers really shows.

[mathluv]

Simon hates country - I don’t.

[Wolfstar]

Did you see her at some awards show when she broke down? It was really sweet. She got a standing O. I’m sure someone around here knows what I am talking about.

I think it might have been the CMA's (or the twin of the CMA's they hold each year; I get them confused). She sang her original song about her mother. The one she did on Idol one time. She sings it with such heartfelt pathos that she makes it a very compelling piece. She sang it on one of those country awards shows and did get a standing O.
