    I am watching.

    Alexis and Danny were in my top 3 list, but I don't think Michael will last. My third choice was Ricky Braddy; that kid can sing!

    Tuesday was one of the worst episodes I've seen of this show. Those "judges" get paid MILLIONS to do what is essentially nothing, the ONLY important part of their job is whittling 5 million people down to 24 (or this year 36) and these are the talentless schlubs they come up with?

    Me too......as much as I hate to admit it. Alexis so far has been fantastic.....she's my choice. Danny (aka Robert Downey Jr.) is amazing as well..........but I always go for the chick....love a female voice :p.

    I am so glad that Tatyana is gone, what a pain to see here throwing her temper tantrum. But, I am sure it's part of those Senjaya's scam to be controversial.

    Can't stand her, and she was so upset last night, as if she ever had a chance to begin with. :rolleyes
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    She might not be "gone", there's still the wildcard round where they're going to pick three more people for the Top 12 out of the ones who are eliminated.

    I'm right there with you, I can't stand her either, and she's obviously only on the show as a ridiculous novelty. If they do bring her back for the wild card (which I beleive is all in the judges' hands) it will be painfully obvious that they're doing it just to mock her.

    I like Robert Downey Jr. I haven't heard him hit a bad note yet. It's really pretty funny how much he looks like him. My friends and I just all call him that. That may not be a good thing for him identity wise.

    ^^^^That's ^^^^funny!

    & I'm an AI fan as well. I think that Danny was waaaaay beyond anyone else who sang on Tuesday night. In the words of Randy Jackson, "that boy can blow!"

    Well I thought Tuesday was one of the worst shows in American Idol history. I mean they keep touting this as the most diverse and greatest groups of singers, and by the looks of it I thought they were right. But you had 4 people that sang good and the rest were horrible.

    You had Danny, Alexis, Ricky, and Tatiana sing well. Yes I said it, Tatiana actually was good despite the hate she brings out of people, me included. Danny and Alexis deserved going through, but Michael Sarver? I mean he is obviously the peoples choice, but Braddy sang way better than him. Sarver was karoake average at best.

    Anoop...cmon man, a slow song whe you said you like to livin' people up? Stevie...wretched, Casey...made Stevie look like Stevie Nicks, Brent Keith...Hick Town??!! Are you kidding me? Stephen Fowler...should have never made it to the show after forgetting his words at Hollywood week! And singing an MJ song...the judges hate it when contestants do MJ or Whitney, have you people never watched the show before? Jackie Tohn...sorry hightops and black spandex can only be worn by Joan Jett. She looked ridiculous. Ann Marie was above average but really did not do enough to get past Alexis.

    What was a little comical to me is twice Simon torched the AI band for their awful arrangements.

    And bruss you are right, Gokeys best friend should have made it, especially over Fowler. How the judges said he did not do enough to get in is beyond me. I thought he was a lock.

    Is Sarver the Roughneck? The first thing I thought when I saw him was karaoke. Not sure of his name.

    I've only seen a few of the audition rounds, but as to how some of the contestants are there.........ALL of the reality shows get input from the Judges, but the actual final decisions are made by the producers.

    If you're going to create a show, there's gotta be some irritation in the mix to keep people talking (i.e. Sanjaya)........

    If you watched the auditions last year, Sanjaya really wasn't bad. It was only when the live shows started (in which case, at least they claim, all decisions are made by the voting public, not the judges or producers or anyone) that he started to be horrible.

    Since I started watching the show in the third season (I think) I have to admit that I am somewhat of an Idol fan. There's something about watching a train wreck that has a certain appeal and the Idol has plenty of head-ons!

    Tonights show was just about as painful as it can get..which made it entertaining to me. lol

    I don't think he should (obviously), but he might. The judges deserve it for bringing him this far anyway.
