underwhelming group.....maybe the best top to bottom, but no idol will come from this group most likely.

jorge was the best of the night, but look at him...he's got no shot to win it all.

lil rounds will get in because she sang last. she was fine, but unless you are mary j. blige, don't sing one of her songs because you will always be less...she's one of the greatest vocalists of our generation.

the blind dude sucked. yeah i said it he sucked. i'm sorry he's blind and i feel bad for him and cannot imagine his life, but listen to his song next to jorges without seeing or knowing anything about him and it's not even close.

this isn't pity idol..

the sixteen year old girl from utah sucked. von smith sucked and i still want to punch him. alex sucked.

where do i start with that nathaniel kid....i gues i shouldn't say anything because man he had to have had a rough childhood, but yeah he sucked.

junot was okay i guess.

felicia was okay, but not like i hoped and certainly nowhere near her youtube clips. she'll have to get in via wildcard if she's going to make it.

kendall just take your clothes off and dance. fck singing. the song was ten times too big for you. you'd make more in tricks in one night than ever off an album.

because of this chit format, lil rounds and scott mcintyre are 100 percent in for sure...both probably undeserving. flip a coin for the third spot.

Maybe it's because I like the song and also because I don't feel like you have to be loud every song to impress but I really like Junot(spelling). I thought his version was great.

I'm not sure about telephones in PR but if enough people have them then the Puerto Rican guy has a shot to go far.


BDB, I hate to say it but I've thought the blind dude has sucked for a while now. I thought he was REALLY bad when he sang behind his keyboard that one song. But then again, I don't care about rating just who is the most pleasing to my ears.

she deserved better.....but she wasn't her best last nigt, and had no air time so i'm not totally shocked. she is better than most if not all the wildcard people.

and von smith is just the most annoying human being alive.

and the blind guy has no business in the show.

but whatever...is what it is....go allison

They all pretty much suck - I cant think of a single one to root for...Allison can sing but just another fat teenager with that nasty fake pink hair

My take on this season so far

My take on this season so far

First off, let me say that on my Ipod, you would find mostly rock music from bands such as Tool, RATM, old Metallica, Zeppelin, ACDC, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Ill Nino, Mudvayne, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Evans Blue, Red, Evanescence, Seether, Slipknot, Dry Kill Logic, Killswitch Engage, and The Beastie Boys but you also would find some Pink, Colbie Caillet, Missy Higgins, Sarah McLachlan, Vanessa Carlton, etc... That being said, I like the show for the most part except for the way the judges push for certain individuals and push stories which I think make the competition unfair.

FYI ... my analysys is based on who I enjoy watching perform and find interesting vs. who I cannot stand watching perform and find annoying.

Finalists

Alexis Grace ... great performance which I personally liked as much as any so far and deserves to be there

Danny Gokey ... good consistent performances, good story which I am already sick of but he is one of the better male singers and deserves to be there

Michael Sarver ... average singer who gave an average perfomance ... WTF ... I don't get it at alll. The judges stumped for him too but I could see someone sing like him at pretty much any local karoake bar

Adam Lambert ... gayer than Clay Aiken but I'll give him props for his exceptional range and talent so he deserves to be there

Allison Iraheta ... very good performance ... deserves to be there

Kris Allen ... pretty good performance of what I thought was a hideous song song. He is a good singer though and I have no problem with him making it through because I think he has decent talent and can sing

Lil Rounds ... As consistent as anyone and I put her right up there with Alexis Grace as far as the best performances of the opening rounds. I enjoy hearing her sing. Unlike BDB and some others, I think she has a shot to win

Scott McIntyre ... I echo what DBD said, sorry that he is blind and all but I would not have even put him in the top 36. As a pure singer, he sucks and I preferred listing to Alex Wagner-Trugman who at least cracked me up with his terrible but funny performance.

Jorge Nunez ... He can really sing and his performance was very good and he seems likeable enough but I would not have minded if he didn't make it.

Wild Card

Von Smith ... although he is a decent singer, like BDB, I can't stand him. I know they say he reminds them of Clay Aiken but I hated watching him as well. In the mold of Aiken and Archuletta, two guys who I could stand. Please don't let him in the Top 12.

Jasmine Murray ... I actually really liked her coming into top 36 but she bombed with a bad song choice and below average performance ... I still think she is talented and should have come back next year but I don't think she deserved anther over some others which I will get into at the end of this.

Ricky Braddy ... the guy can sing but hate country music more than Simon. Every male country singer sounds exactly the same to me and he could probably be good enough to make it but I did not need to see him back and I am hoping he does not make it in the top 12.

Megan Corkrey ... performance was decent and she is nice to look at fo sho. I thiink she was worthy of another shot and I am hoping she makes it to the top 12.

Tatiana DelToro ... she actually can sing but I just wanna smack her or shove my **** in her mouth to shut her up. Definitely do not want to see her in the top 12 although based on talent as a singer, she probably deserves another shot.

Matt Giraud ... like the judges, I was not a fan of his first performance but I think he has the talent and was certainly worth another shot. Would not mind if he makes the top 12.

Jesse Langseth ... I enjoyed her performance and like her personality. Deserves to be there and I would not mind if she made it.

Anoop Desai ... Anoop can flat out sing. I don't think he has the package to be anything special but he deserved the final spot from group #1 over Michael Sarver ... America, WTF were you thinking? I think he should be in the top 12.

Contestants who I would have liked to see get another shot in no particular order.

Felicia Barton ... I like her overall. I thought she looked great and sang pretty good although maybe not her best. She should have been in the top 36 originally and I thought she should have earned the spot the blind guy stole in group 3.

Kristen McNamara ... she needs a stylist and a personality transplant but for me, she was one of the best vocalists in the competition. I really would have liked to see her in the wild card round.

Mishavonna Henson ... I thought her performance in group 2 was very good and I expected the last spot from that group to either be her or Kris Allen with the other getting a definite wild card spot.

Ju?not Joyner ... the guys gave a good and interested rendition of Hey There Delilah. I thought the #3 spot in group 3 would come down to him and Jorge Nunez with the other getting a wild card.

Just missed the 2nd chance cut
Arianna Ayesha Afsar ... much like Jasmine Murray, I thought she blew it but if Jasmine was going to get another shot, why not Arianna who I view as a decent singer who made a bad song choice and fell apart.

Casey Carlson ... only if she wore a bikini from one of her photo shoots to sing. She is HOT and I am a guy so I liked seeing her perform.

Stephen Fowler ... Bad song choice but otherwise I liked him ann thought he was a pretty good singer.

Anyway, just my thoughts. I mostly wanted to rant about contestants like the blind guy and Michael Sarver getting pushed on the public and the getting through over more talented and deserving contestants like Felicia Barton, Anoop Desai, etc...

Good Luck in your wagering!

At this point, I hope the blind guy wins so they are screwed ... he might actually sell less records than Taylor Hicks!

Having Tatianna back just shows the desperation of the show which has dropped viewers now for three years in a row.

It's a waste of time to have the fourth judge, we are subjected to very poor talent in the current format and the final group will be the worst ever.

Alexis, Allison, Scott and Michael never would have made it this far in the past and that is four out of nine.

We stopped watching the show until they get to Hollywood due to the freak show week after week. They are making it harder to watch post-hollywood.

Are you serious? You're putting Alexis in that group? I think she's one of the best, by far.

I don't think Scott's bad at all, and I'm not giving him the sympathy vote. I think he's decent.

Michael, I agree with.

Tatiana's actually a good singer. She's just a whacko (part of which I feel confident is her schtick to "market herself").

Who do you all think the judges are trying to steer young voters to vote for.
