So sorry that I didn't get to vote tonight. I'm on the West Coast and watched the American Idol 8:00 PM show. I wish they would hold the voting over to Monday morning so viewers like me who see the show later on can participate too. As to tonight's show, I thought it was pretty good, and I agreed mostly with the outcome. My favorites were Laine, Wade, Madison and Jeremiah with Walker close behind. I also did like Alyssa. I know I'm in the minority, but If I had my druthers, I would have kept Demetrius over Alejandro who I still haven't warmed up to. I confess, I did not know the song he sang, but even if I had, I think he and Uche were the weakest. This is the first time that I haven't been impressed with Uche's vocals and performance. I don't think he lost out because he pouted last week, I just think he wasn't as good as the ones who got through. And he took his elimination very well tonight. I am still a fan, and wish he well in his quest towards stardom. I liked Demetrius's song and performance, and am sorry to see him go. I thought he was better than Laci and Alejandro, but in my opinion, I think Laci has more potential than Alejandro though Alejandro seems to be a favorite of the judges and has huge support from viewers as well, so he may end up one of the finalists. I don't know why TPTB are so intent on rushing the show this Season. Are the viewing numbers so bad that they can't wait to get the show over with? I thought that when the contestants were whittled down to 10, they only eliminated one each week. I hope, starting next week, they will only eliminate one, as they have done in the past. Sunday is now LIVE for everyone which means it airs for voting at 5 PM on the west coast. The 8 PM show was a repeat of the 5 PM show. During the save discussion it was revealed there are three weeks left. Yes, it IS fast. |

The duet by the top placers last year really proved my contention that they went totally white-bread, main stream last year---nobody stood out. Tht duet was pretty boring and ordinary and neither had any kind of special voice. Apparently AI went in a totallyy different direction this year. I kept thinking during the song that many of the top 8 this year could have defeated these two. I think the same thing. That's part of why I think Alejandro stands out so much, he is not just another generic singer. I just hope their stylists don't try to get ahold of him and change him up. I like him the way he is. |

I wish they would have a "no ballad" night...a lot of these songs are putting me to sleep. Yes, they show off their voices and range, but I'd like to hear ALL of them do an up tempo song. I think it would make for a fun night and see who can adapt to a different style and who can't.
