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.
During the save discussion it was revealed there are three weeks left. Yes, it IS fast.
