Is anybody watching American Idol this year?

Pia and Haley look real good in those 5 inch heels!

It's that time of the week again - competition night!  They all did really well - not a lousy performance among them.  My favs - as usual, James - my gosh he did a slow song that moved him to tears.  There is something fragile about that great big guy that I just love.  But how to weed them out?  I don't care for Paul - and he had the pimp spot - but he did much better than other weeks.  If you guys missed Pia, you really missed a treat - great song and gorgeous as usual.   Scotty is leading the pack according to dialidol - by a mile. 
All in all a really fun 90 minutes! 

Steven Tylerism for the night to Scotty: “You were all hat and no cattle. You brought Elvis into the house.”

Paul stunk the place up again ... imho the worst contestant of the night
the rest did ok , not great but good enough to survive .
if Paul stays tomorrow night I will be convinced the vote for the worst theory is alive and well .

Pia, Scotty & James were my favorites last night. All the contestants were good and I even enjoyed Paul's "Folsom Prison Blues". But, he's no Johnny Cash! I think Paul, Jacob, Stefano or maybe Lauren will be the bottom 3 with Stefano going home.

I didn't think it appropriate for a dancing pixie with high voice to be singing the lyrics of Folsom Prison Blues.   The song is meant for a strong man like Johnny Cash.  But I enjoyed the guitars and rhythm.

"I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry."


My favorites are still Scotty, James, Casey and Pia.  It seems that Scotty is running away from the pack.

I have no idea who will be going home.  From what I have read... Stefano, Paul, Lauren, Jacob are in the bottom four.  To me, Stefano seems the weakest...with hardly any personality.

OH MY GOSH!!! Pia was sent home!  Best voice of the three women, drop dead gorgeous, and a phenomenal performance last night.  FIVE women have been sent home now and NO guys.  And we still are left with Paul (weird voice, chicken dance) and Stefano ( not much voice, personality of wallpaper paste).  Why is no one voting for the women?

The judges were all in shock and, I'm sure, wished they had another "save".  The audience voiced their disapproval with long and loud booing. 

Idol is rapidly diluting its popularity by sending its best women home and keeping not so good guys around.  I hate "vote for the worst" site.   They are making a mockery of this show. 

Ssmithhh, I'm almost as upset about Pia as I was about Siobhan.  And I am really upset about Pia.

I don't watch the show, but as an outsider I might suggest that maybe most of the audience is made up of women, and they are voting for the guys.  Does that sound plausible?

I love Johnny Cash's version, and there is only one way to listen to Folsom Prison Blues, "wide open",  but thought Paul did a decent job.

Major disappointment that Pia was sent home. Best voice of all the contestants and great looking. No way that James, Paul & Stefano are still in the competition and Pia is gone. One theory that no one, other than yours truly, has advanced is that a hacker, or hackers, hacked into the results and manipulated them. Whatever, I think AI would be well served to announce and conduct an audit of the vote to make sure the results are valid. If the public loses confidence in the honesty of the results AI ratings will plummet.

I agree with all you said KoKoPuf.  And I think Idol may be pressured into doing a recount of the votes.

Although I believed Pia to be in the top three....she was not my favorite.  Regardless, I am disgusted enough to stop watching the show.  Something must be wrong with the voting system.  Another factor may be that the judges want to be encouraging and are giving all contestants nearly equal praise.  

So it would seem that voters who don't know good music from mediocre are not being influenced or led by the judges, as when Simon Cowell was on the panel.

By the way, I watched the Piers Morgan show one night this week with Simon Cowell as a guest.  Simon was so botoxed-up he could not even move an eyebrow.  One of the interesting things about him was his facial expressions that always showed his level of frustration.  Maybe the botox will wear off by the time the X-factor comes on.   Simon looks years younger too.  Not sure if he has had anything done besides botox and fillers.

I don't know if the voting is whacked or not ... it maybe
bottom line is as long as Paul is still there I won't watch
no frickin' way Paul stays and Pia leaves ... THAT'S CRAZY !

I hope Scotty or James wins it

I don't think there was anything wrong with the voting. I think people were more concerned at keeping other folks that they forgot to save a vote for Pia. I personally wasn't crazy about Pia but did think she had a strong voice.

Something happened similar to this on Dancing With the Stars. I can't remember the woman's name but she was a Cheetah Girl. She was great. She went home very early in the competition - because people ASSUMED that she would be safe and didn't vote for her.

just my $.02 worth
