My daughter has got me hooked watching it.
The Doolittle girl is in another league compared to the rest!
She should win easily !
Though she needs to be a bit more assured of herself!

I noted when they narrowed the field to 24 that the talent pool was quite shallow.....the guys all flat out suck! That San Pablo or whatever his name is.......I can't believe he made the final 12 let alone got to Hollywood to begin with.......he blows!!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Blake sucks! Pft pft....flicka...tweet! Hate that "beat Boxing" crap!!! Jordin will win, Melinda was/is great and will prove a great recording artist! Blake will fade away like the Hula Hoop! I thought the talent pool this year was quite shallow!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I find it amazing they decide the finalist are the 1 or 2 who will be the most marketable !!! and it's not about talent !

I said three shows ago //that the tiny boppers were going to keep blake in it // Jordan IS good and has a awesome range / she & melinda S/B the ones .. I just hope the voters next week can beat the tiny bopper vote

classic examples // the red haired kid last season or the season before ... look how far he got & this season that F #$%^&*( kid that can,t sing D/S knocked off some real singers // & he,s in the top ten >.. so he,ll go on the A/I tour & C/D ;;

its almost as bad as trolling >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9 ER RIGS ><><<><><><

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

Melinda was the best....
once they put the voting to the public it actually is a popularity contest.......when the judges are voting it is a talent show...
Larry...George sent me that picture, we were calling her Shrek when I was there

I think Howard Dtern started the Shrek thing,
He was a big reason Sajaya stayed on for so long, Howard wanted to goof on the show!

Melinda's kiss of death was not last nights show but the one just before when Simon siad she looked like a winner and winked at her. That always does in the favorite.

RR - I've been involved in music for 22 years. Its never about talent, its all about marketing and entertainment. American Idol is nothing new. I struggled with this and have seen it wear out dozens of extremely talented people. I'm not saying all popular musicians are not talented. The reality is you can take an average singer, with the right marketing and backing and create the next Madonna.

But seriously, how can you guys watch a show where Paula Abdul is a judge?
