American Idol

Yeah, some of the non-winners from seasons past have gone on to have pretty fine careers.

Sorry for talking about the results before you watched the show, Cindy. I didn't mean to spoil it for you. In the future if I talk about the results on the night they happen, I'll post under a new AMERICAN IDOLS SPOILERS thread.

Some of you may disagree, but...

Last night... what a rip-off!!!!
I wanted to call someone, anyone in charge of AI and ask what the heck is going on?!
Maybe America should leave the voting to the judges. Egads!!

Oh Rob, don't worry, you didn't spoil it for me....I already spoiled it for myself by reading the Television Without Pity website. It seems to soften the blow for me.

I was the most surprised that they kept Sanjaya because I don't think he is that great and what the heck with getting rid of Sabrina!! She has such an awesome voice. I thought for sure that Hayley would going to go. Just don't understand what was going on with people when they voted..

That was so cool when Carrie Underwood was on there singing. At least she is grateful for what the show did for her. She looked beautiful!

Or you could post it in white, Rob...people will know if it's a spoiler if it's something they see they have to highlight.
Like you, Rob, I'm kind of rooting for Lakeesha (sp?) because she's from Flint....but she really is good! Cindy, you have my 3 faves: Melinda, Lakeesha, and Blake! I like the two Chrises too...

I can't believe Sundance went home before Sanjaya... :unsure: ...but I'm thrilled that Antonellla is out of there! Buh bye!

Well I'm a little late but i'll speak my mind now lol I was Shock that Sabrina Went home but i was Glad that Haley stay i really think she is not that bad when Ryan said that Phil Stacey was safe i was like :woohooo: But Sanjaya Should of gone home before Sundace Head he was Really good But the Best part of the show was :woohooo: CARRIE UNDERWOOD :woohooo:

Everybody see the show last night? I thought Melinda was the class of the field.

To my untrained ears, I thought Sanjaya sang a little better than he usually does. But the judges seemed to come down extra hard on him. If I was in his position, I think I would really resent the judges. They're the ones who put him in the top 24 out of all the thousands who auditioned. And now that he's here, their attitude seems to be: How dare you be here among all these real singers!

But I'm guessing he'll be the one to go tonight. And probably rightfully so.

Yeah I watch it Sanjaya was better then last week but he should go home Melinda Was Great and Phil Stacey was Awsome but i think Melinda or LaKisha is gonna win it all the judges they were hard on Sanjaya but he was not as bad a last week

Did you watch it yesterday i put in the spoiler thing so just click on that

Spoiler:

Good job by the Idols tonight! It was "'60s British Invasion" night, so there were lots of good songs to choose from.

I thought Melinda was the best. Her version of "As Long as He Needs Me" really tugged at the ol' heartstrings. Did you see that young girl in the audience sobbing during her song?

Another one I'm really starting to like is Jordin Sparks. She just keeps getting better every week. I loved her performance tonight. Plus, she's only 17 and seems like such a sweet, likeable kid, and that always helps. Although it's a singing competition, those other factors matter, too.

LaKisha... she's always a favorite, but I didn't care for her song tonight - "Diamonds are Forever," wasn't it?, from the James Bond film of the same name.

I'd bet money that this year's winner will be a girl. They're the stronger side, I think. And I'm guessing it will be a good race between Melinda, LaKisha, and Jordin.

Yes I watch it While Sanjaya Perforem That little girl Cried like crazy that was what entertain me while he performe I thought Phil Stacey nail it yesterday night but the judges did't think so i think he'll go home tonight but hope not sanjaja is safe like always and Haley is safe too i think and No Matter what there is girl gonna win this year propally Lakisha Jones

That was a good Idol last night! There wasn't one really bad performance, even Sanjaya! Still want him gone though I agree, Rob, Lakisha was not in top form, and I didn't care for that song at all. I agree also about Melinda, Lakisha, & Jordin (who is sounding GREAT lately), but my favorite is Blake. I think he has the whole 'Idol' package as far as performer, original voice/sound, and 'coolness factor'. He's my pick! (But I still love my girl Lakisha! )

I like Lakisha's Coment She said You Take the Bad & the Good with the Ugly

Oh, I didn't hear that, Jacob! Good for her!

These dj's this morn were really ripping on Melinda. They were so rude. They said she is a fave now, but that will all change and she will get kicked off. They were such jerks!

Beckie, what were they saying about her? She's a great singer and she seems really nice, so it's hard to think of anything bad they could say.

Well, that's just silly of them. Melinda is a lovely lady.

Spoiler alert, if you haven't seen who was kicked off:

I can't believe Chris R. was in the bottom two!! What the heck?!? I didn't mind seeing Stephanie go...I wasn't a fan, but still, she was much better than several other people! When they said Sanjaya, Haley, and Gina stand up, I thought that was the perfect bottom 3! I'm in shock! I'm just glad Chris didn't go...I just can't figure America out!

Also, I can't stand that they have all these 'has-been's singing up there. This time, they had two, and that prevented the Idols from doing their routine! I'd much rather see the Idols! :sad5: Why don't they just PAY these people to coach the Idols, not guarantee them a spot on the show!

Well Of course Lakisha Jordin & Melinda Were the best again but I thought Phill Stacey had Nail it so did Chris Richardson and i hope haley stays because she not that bad but she will never be the winner i can't wait for tonight i just hope that Sanjaya goes home of course he had a new hair style so evreybody is gonna vote for him

One word...Sanjay...what is the appeal?????
