Still dont see anbody competing with Javier. It should be Javier and the big guy on Adams team and Vicci and Nakia on team Cee Lo.

Was surprised that Blake took Xenia. Not that she didnt deserve it but that he didnt go with Patrick. I understand his reasoning and looking forward to both her and Dia next week.

Dont care for Frenchie and Beverly was actually better when she had the cold. It forced her to stop screaming and actually sing more.

It will be tougher next week for the judges to eliminate.

I like team Blake and Christina's "Frenchie"... I'm not a fan of team Adam. Javier is a little overrated. I feel there are a lot of these types of singers and most sound like a dime-a-dozen-type singers we've heard on idol....

That is, of course, except I agree that Xenia has a unique tone. And Blake said it right, "if I'm going to effect change, I gotta go with Xenia."

I agree. Her tone is about the only real unique thing on the show. That, and the format of it is pretty cool and entertaining (for the off-season). :)

Yes, Xenia's got a unique voice, but so do people like Macy Gray (most similar to her voice imo), Chrisette Michele and Lauryn Hill. Xenia's sooo young, she's got a lot to grow. She's not going to be ready for the stage (recording studio, maybe) until she's grown a little, live a little, and gain a lot of confidence.

As for Javier, one thing he has that rarely any Idol singer or anyone in this competition has is not only is a complete singer, he writes his own songs. If you haven't heard Javier sing one of his songs (Crazy, Come through), you are definitely missing out. I think he's very unique in this very aspect.

Javier is definitely going to win, not only b/c of his voice, but because in the last 8 years, he's amassed very loyal fans (i.e. me), and I'm sure this show's only increased his visibility.

I don't understand how Javier hasn't already made it.

i don't get it either. maybe things didn't work out for him the way they should've.

Dude's voice is flawless. Whoever is in charge after this show better put great writers around him. Bring us some quality R&B tracks like the old days.

tonight was team adam vs team ceelo. any thoughts? who stood out to you?


also did any you agree on who went through tonight from team christina(beverly and frenchie) and team blake(dia and xenia)?

I wasn't impressed with Adam's team on Tuesday but I still think they all have potential from what I've seen before. I don't know if they all just got overwhelmed with nerves because of the previous two teams that went or what. Although, I did enjoy Ceelo's team. They were each well prepared the group show was cute and funny.

I was pretty sure Blake's team was going to end up with the two girls and I'm glad it did. As for Christina's team I was unsure. I didn't know how America was going to vote on Frenchie even though she has a great voice. The reason I was doubtful on her was because she has already been "famous" before doing broadway plays and being on American Idol. If no one has picked her up so far why would anyone now? The two girls on Christina's team who didn't make it actually got better each show but Beverly and Frenchie just blew them out of the water performance-wise.

I would tend to agree with you. But I doubt Christina Aguillera would be as big of a star if she didn't start so early. In my opinion, for someone who obviously wants to be a singer, the earlier the better.

Really, there is no right or wrong. Just a matter of preference.

I'm thinking I want some Joplin tone. :D Dia will be hard to beat because she's so trendy and knows how to work an audience.

But would be cool if i came down to Javier and Xenia.

Don't forget Nakita either. That guy may have some surprises, Frenchie too.

Christina started on TV (Mickey Mouse club, same as Britney Spears, but unlike BS, Christina actually can sing), so she has always been comfortable on stage and on TV since an early age. Xenia is young, but she doesn't have the confidence and presence yet that Christina had even several years younger than Xenia is now. Would be interesting to see where Xenia goes with her career for sure.

Points well-taken. I do not disagree on any of your points. I just do not think here age will be an issue. Blake has done wonders as a coach and she has taken well to coaching.

Dia Frampton, his other singer, has the cutsie-hipster look. But I'm listening to voices here. If we're talking females, I like Frenchie next-best. What about you?

On males, I like Javier (because I do see his talent) and I like Nakita on CeeLo's team.

And I hate that you got me to admit that Christina actually has an outstanding voice. But yeah, she can belt with the best of them....

Of the females, my favorite voice is Xenia, but I love the sultry voice of Dia too (she does look cute, but her singing evokes a very mellow atmosphere). Funny enough, what you see in Javier is what I see in Frenchie. Great voice, but not different from the singers on AI.

So I finally got around to watching the LIVE show and Javier Colon is leaps and bounds better than everyone else.

I also like Vicky.

missed the beginning-ish (caught Javier and Xenia, then tuned out again for Vicki)

Anyway, Jav and Xenia are my two favorites hands down.

Final Four (pre-rewatching, may change it but since tomorrows the day they reveal the results, may not):

Frenchie over Beverly

Xenia over Dia

Vicci over Nakita

Javier over Casey

Even with the viewer demographic, I'm glad that they are choosing "the voice" and I don't think Nakita would be as much of a pull to vote for b/c of his gender. Now Javier, people would vote for him b/c he's a guy, the voice is icing (for some, not most)

I didn't like Javier's song choice. Thought Dia and Vicci were the best.

Yeah, I didn't like him straying away too far from what he's super good at, but I think after listening to Casey, had the better voice and performance tonight. I didn't like Casey's intro at all (the chorus was good though), but "I will always love you" was definitely not the right song for Casey's voice.

I actually liked Nakia's voice better than Vicci's tonight, but Vicci's performance was more memorable.
