I have no idea who the gal in the tight black outfit was, but she has a great body and a very pretty face. I hated the song though.

These stage shows are elaborate as anything you will ever see, but it isn't about music any more. That's why I am not a fan.

i think that was rihanna you're refering to.

Ya, I thought the song was terrible and the performance was extremely boring.

I can't believe that Mike was the loser. Wow, Tim definitely needs to go and he wasn't even in the bottom 3.

Thanks to the power of TiVo, I cut that show down to ten minutes of viewing time and did not watch the Rihanna performance at all. Fast Forward rocks! Didn't see Big Mike getting the bottom vote at all.

ok, i got a question for everyone.


what do all you think of adam lambert(season 8 runner-up)being a mentor to this season's contestants this week? me personally, i think it's dumb because the guy hasn't been around for a long period of time & his album isn't doing great despite one single getting a fair amount of radio airplay.

I know most music people get turned off by the large hordes that root for talentless jokes like Taylor Hicks and Sanjaya, but there's not another show on television with such a focus on musical talent, and you just have to deal with the "rough edges" that are necessary to bring in the massive audiences.

I'm sorry, but you're completely wrong. American Idol doesn't focus on musical talent. they focus on potential vocal ability and image. do you really think the winners get to write their own songs? REALLY!?! NO!!!

with that said, the best thing to happen to Chris Daughtry is to not win American Idol. some other label picked him up and he got to write most of his own songs. who remembers who beat Daughtry? nobody. why? because Daughtry's career has been MUCH better.

I've written a ton of music, I can sing, I can play drums, I can play guitar...and I still think American Idol is terrible...

any thoughts on tonight's show?

Andrew has GOT to go home. He was horrible. Aaron is probably not too far behind. Siobahn has been ruined by the judges ever since they told her to lay off of the high notes, so she might be in danger as well.

Sooner or later, either Casey James or Lee Dewyze will be voted out because they are almost the same style of singer. It might be Casey considering Lee has been much better the last few weeks.

Crystal is mucho talented. I thought the others did enough to most likely pass through.

Crystal is easily the best of this season. If she doesn't win something is wrong.

I agree about Andrew. I was a fan at first but last night was horrific. I think Siobhan has been terrible the whole time, she only had one good performance. The judges were right to tell her to stop screeching because she was terrible, it was always off.

I thought Casey's Jealous Guy last week was far and away better than Lee and probably the best performance of the show. However I do like Lee a lot more and he was better last night.

I hope Andrew and either Tim or Katie go this week just because I can't stand either of them. Then Aaron and Siobhan shortly after that.

I think Ryan Seacrest had been drinking before the show. He was acting even more foolish than usual.

I like Crystal, but all of her performances sound the same. She works up into the same grove, same key, different words.

I am sold on Siobahn. I agree that the judges messed with her head & it impacted a couple of her performances, but I think she has had several outstanding songs (Paint it Black, Think, Wicked Game, House of the Rising Sun). I would love to hear her sing something like Evanesence - Bring Me To Life. Ultimately, I think she has the biggest career out of this bunch.

Andrew will definitely be gone this week. I was hoping he would pull into a Clapton type of vibe, but he is all over the place. Not sure who the other will be... probably Aaron.

I personally believe it will come down to Casey, Lee, and Crystal.

Mike can sing, but I don't see anything unique about him. Shiobahn is a good singer, but she's all over the place. I agree with the person who said she should sing Evanescense. Aaron has a good voice, but he's young and sounds the same every week.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lee wins over Crystal, only because his voice is the most unique of the bunch.

Funny, nothing you argued actually refuted what I said.

Did you see her sing "Wicked Game?"

Chick is legit.

Siobhan has talent. My wife has made me take a CZ hiatus. However, I've been watching a lot more American Idol and I've liked her from the beginning. I really want her to win. She's has, hands down, the coolest style and range to make it big without having that cheesy commercial feel about her. She's rock solid.
