    This chick's phrasing is killing me, but her voice is lovely.

    #3 can really sing. Tonight isn't bad so far. Except for his throat clearing warbling thing.

    I take it back = he's REALLY getting on my damn nerves trying to get gruff since someone online called him a name.

    This guy is singing Meatloaf and he sounds like Cher on the uptempo bits. He does have a good voice.

    Started out well and then hit that flat note.

    I don't like her phrasing - or over the top delivery.

    She can really sing but she wasted her chance IMO.


    I soooo disagree with Paula.
    And Simon.
    And Randy.
    And the other chica.

    That's giving her too much credit. Yodeling is hard. What she was doing was just wrong!

    Oh, Tracy Chapman is probably not a good choice. She's one of my favorites, but she's so much about attitude and mood rather than notes.

    She can sing but I'm not really excited. Don't yell wooo!

    There were moments where I thought Scott could sing, but then it'd go off the rails.

    Sad. I love me some Bruce Hornsby.

    Hrmm. The judges are way off on this one.

    I hate country music. Well, modern country music.

    And bubble skirts.

    And singers who try to sing way below their range. Ow. Ow. Ow.

    Jorge is kind of a hottie, isn't he?

    Two Elton John songs, huh?

    Much better than the other EJ song! That was pretty good.

    I've liked three guys and no girls tonight. But then, I think that's been the way so far this season except for the chickie the first week.

    Oh, there's another girl. I forgot about her.

    Lil is cute as a button. I wanted to like that more than I did.

    I'm sick in bed and only flipped away from MSNBC when Rachel Maddow was over, which means I missed the first half. Based on the second half, I'm not too unhappy about that. The two blonde chicks could be clones.

    I find Jorge kind of funny looking and off-putting. He has a beautiful voice, but I didn't find any magic in his performance, though.

    My favourite tonight was Ju'not. Kids these days, after growing up on a steady diet of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera, have no touch at all - he did a nice job on not oversinging that.

    I've loved Alex Wagner-Trugman from day one when he lipped off to Simon, but he shot himself in the foot tonight. He can sing much better than he showed tonight.

    I think Jorge will be great doing emotional songs - something like DLG's Huey. I like him.

    My favorite is Ju'not and second is Jorge tonight. The girls really irritated me. The old looking blond girl wearing the mom-like dress can sing, but she's snarky/sexy and she got on my nerves.

    Oh, I remembered what I wanted to say - in the interests of people in different time zones and watching from tape, can we call people things a little bit more specific than, "The girl that's singing now"?

    I eagerly await tonight's additions to the thread so I can see who gets to stay without wading through the dreck of the hour long results show.

    Sure can.


    It was just me, talking to myself for a while, but I'll be sure to be more descriptive.

    Yodel-girl is a good descriptive name.

    The top 3 vote-getters were Lil, Scott & Jorge.

    There are 8 coming back tomorrow night for another round of singing and voting. The judges' choices were:

    Von Smith
    Jasmine Murray
    Rickey Braddy
    Megan Corkrey
    Tatiana Del Toro
    Matt Giraud
    Jesse Langseth and
    Anoop

    I'm very glad that Jorge made it through. And I think the picks for the Wild Card show are mostly the right choices, though I would have really, really liked to see Nick go through, but with Simon hating his guts, that was never going to happen. I even like Tatiana!

    Interesting how they staged the group sing around Scott's disability. I wonder how they'll approach it in future shows, depending on how far he makes it.

    Although it wasn't a completely out-of-this-world guess, I was right!

    Now's the time to bring back Anoop, Tatiana (just for the good singing and trainwreck factor) and Ricky Braddy (seems like a nice enough kid w/a good voice).

    I hope to hell they don't bring back Megan Corkrey or Jasmine Murray. If Vapid Kara says one more time, "Mmmm, yeah... you're very commercial!" I might break my TV.

    Yep. Also according to my notes, I thought she was OK and the judges thought she was meh. (We have a little AI predictions contest where I work, so I like to keep track of such things.) I'm glad she's back for the Wild Card. The judges must have liked her earlier performances better than her Top 36 perf.

    Interesting that only one is from Group 3 (C?), since I thought this week's show was the best of the 3 Top 36 shows. Anyone care to make predictions? I think my personal favorite of these eight is Von, but I predict he doesn't make the cut. Top 12 already has 6 guys, so I assume they'll take at least 2 ladies tonight. I predict Megan (sang "Put Your Records On" in semifinals), Tatiana ("Saving All My Love For You"), and Anoop ("Angel Of Mine").

    Without reading the spoiler, and not being at the end of the show yet, I'm utterly sick thinking they're going to put that twit Megan through. I couldn't believe when Simon called her relevant, then compared someone else to Taylor Hicks. That chick is spastic and her horrible moves with the flapping arms and swinging hips makes me want to smack her. Not to mention that Katharine McPhee kicked that song's ass season before last and this kid was horrible.
