Danny Gokey is the shit. Easily the best performance of the night.

Alexis Grace is pretty cute, and sweet, and probably had the 2nd best performance.

Casey, Casey, Casey. My dear. First of all, since this is the last time we will ever see you, I'll just say, while I can, that you are FIIIIIIIINE. Damn. I'm so disappointed that you have a weak voice and are an incredibly awkward performer. Damn. Such a shame. (I'm still gonna vote for you)

Stevie Nicks or whatever her name is absolutely butchered that awesome Tay-Tay song. Off-key the entire time. Hicktown dude sucked. Big oil-rig dude sucked. Forgot the lyrics dude sucked. Tatiana is a loon, but will probably make it through to the next round. Anoop was OK. That Monica song reminds me of the 7th grade dance.

Season 8! Holla!

You're so concise.:love: We should get married.
 
Ahhhh, yes. Breathe Right strips. I forgot about those.

By the way, I think the new U2 album just leaked. In case anybody cares.

^I definitely don't like the new format. As has been said already, I don't think it gives enough opportunity to get to know the contestants. Of course, this is all meaningless to me at this point, because if/until he gets eliminated, I know who I'll be voting for.

Apologies for the rant: I think I've taken over Golightly's job.:lol:

Jackie Tohn- She is awesome. I love her raw, gritty vocals and she is a really fun performer. That is so much better than someone getting out there and belting out a ballad. One of my favorite performances of the night.:heart:

Ricky Braddy-Who? As I do 95% of the time, I agreed with Simon. He's got an amazing voice, but he's boring. He didn't connect with the song, and there was no real personality in his performance. Considering we've never seen him until tonight, he really needed to blow people away, and I don't think he did.

Alexis Grace-Wow. Wow. Wow! That was utterly amazing. Usually when someone tries to take on Aretha they fall flat on their face. Alexis did Ms. Franklin proud with that. The vocal was perfect, not in a technical way, but in a bluesey, real way. With the infusion of retro British soul singers (whom I all love), it's great to see an American girl who can give them a run for their money. That was without out a doubt the best performance of the night for me. I think she's my favorite female in the competition this year.

Brent Keith-Anyone who sings a song called "Hick Town" should be automatically disqualified.:| But, hey, he's got the red state votes!:happy: It's nice to see your sex change worked out for you, Kristy Lee Cook. Also, when will people learn that mainstream "country" music today isn't real country music? It's pop with fiddles and mandolins and southern accents. Johnny Cash, George Jones, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, June Carter Cash, EmmyLou Harris, that's real country and that's good music. Sorry for the rant, it's a just a pet peeve of mine when people start calling shit bands like Rascal Flatts "country".

Stevie Wright-The less said the better. That was just bad. I sound better in my shower.:down: I don't dislike her as a person, but that was not good in any sense of the word. She seemed awkward and out of place. My anger towards Jamar being eliminated instead of a large crop of mediocre, marketable teenage girls, intensifies.

Anoop Desai-Anoop DAWG. He's such a fun guy, and he has such an unexpected, soulful voice. But that song didn't do him any favors. I didn't like it in 1999, and I don't like it now.

Casey Carlson-:yikes: Mediocre Teen Girl 2:Electric Bugaloo. You know where I've seen that kind of performance before? at every single talent show I went to from 7th-12th grades. Bad, bad, bad. If she wants to make it through, she better hope that every guy that got a hard-on from her prancing around the stage has his hands free by the time voting starts.

Michael Sarver-He definitely has a really good voice, but that performance was bland and forgettable. It sounded like your average bar singer, there was nothing that really stood out.

Ann Marie Boskovich-Mediocre Girl Part Three:Attack of the Clones. Kelly Clarkson did "Natural Woman" a hell of a lot better in Season 1, and Alexis Grace did Aretha a hell of a lot better tonight. Alexis and Ann Marie proved there's a difference between singing well and really connecting with a song. Alexis did both amazingly well. Ann Marie sang well (but not amazingly so), but there was nothing there.

Stephen Fowler- Oh, the suspense. Will he remember the lyrics tonight? It wasn't as bad as some of the performances tonight, (Stevie, Casey, I'm looking at you), but it wasn't good. Nobody but Michael Jackson should sing Michael Jackson.

Tatiana Del Toro-I love how Ryan sounded like he was in pain just from mentioning her name.:lol: That feeling is felt everywhere. Seriously, the grand majority of AI viewers' dislike of Tatiana could be the elusive issue that unites our country again. I hope President Obama is watching. In terms of performance tonight, the vocal was ok, but she's nowhere near as good as she thinks she is. Plus, she has the worst personality I've ever seen in a human being, ever. I would rather be water boarded than listen to her sing/talk/do anything. If she becomes this season's Sanjaya, I will leave the country. McCain couldn't get me out of here, but Tatiana might.:lol: On a shallow note, what threw up on her dress? That thing is fugly. And, apparently she's friends with 20-something Rod Blagojevich.:lol:

Danny Gokey-Aside from Matt, he's my favorite guy. He made me manage to not hate the song "Hero". He has such a raw, soulful voice, and he definitely deserves to be the top 2 of the night along with Alexis. Also, I really, really hope Jamar could come back in the Wild Card round.

So, my ideal 3 from this group
1. Alexis Grace
2. Danny Gokey
3. Jackie Tohn/Anoop Desai (I'm torn between those 2, but based on tonight's performances I'd go with Jackie)

Nice summary there U2isBest!

Briefly:
Jackie - alright
Ricky - ok
Alexis - best female performance of the night, hands down
Brent - :yawn:
Stevie - ???
Anoop - alright
Casey - :yikes: What was with her "performance"
Michael - I like the song, but his version was just meh for me
Ann Marie - ok
Stephen - meh
Tatiana - wasn't the train wreck I was expecting with her choosing a Whitney Houston song (usually the kiss of death). Better than Casey & Stevie, that's for sure.
Danny - :heart:

Danny & Alexis were my faves. That's one male, one female. Who else will make the top 3 for tonight?
 
^If I had to guess who else would actually get through if it came down to Alexis and Danny for the guy and girl, I'd say Anoop. He has a really big fanbase from what I've heard.
 
I thought Danny was completely overrated. As soon as he said he was singing that song, I rolled my eyes. I like him a lot, but thought the judges' tongue-bathing of him was over the top to the extreme.

I really liked Ricky Braddy (thought he was the best of the night, actually), didn't think Alexis was nearly as good as the judges did, and was surpsied Ann Marie got such a harsh response - I liked her take on Aretha much more than Alexis'.

And Tatiana ... oh dear. She did have some nice moments - she definitely has a very good voice. I didn't think it was possible, but I think she managed to be even more obnoxious by acting reserved than by acting crazy.

Casey was horrible, but not nearly as horrid as Stevie. Wow, that was bad. Oh, and I was really disappointed by Jackie as well. I like her voice a lot, but that was a dumb song choice.

Did anyone else have kind of mediocre sound for the show? The vocals sounded buried, much like the Grammys. I'm starting to wonder if shows are starting to broadcast geared to a certain sound set-up that I just don't have. It sucks.
 
I liked Ricky Braddy too...:reject:
His voice was the best of the night...he just needs to work on his stage presense...I fear he will not be around to do so though...I think "anoop dog" will sneek in instead:|
 
I wasn't a fan of Anoop's song last night, but would not be sorry at all to see him stick around. He has a nice voice.
 
I hope they bring Ricky Braddy back for Wild Card. He has the best voice so far.

I'm totally not surprised that the oil rig dude got votes. Guys like him have TONS of fans. Remember Bucky Covington? It sucks, but he'll be around a while.

I love Danny, but i agree he wasn't mindblowing like they made him out to be. The judges reactions were way overdone. Still love him though.
 
Alexis Grace-Wow. Wow. Wow! That was utterly amazing. Usually when someone tries to take on Aretha they fall flat on their face. Alexis did Ms. Franklin proud with that. The vocal was perfect, not in a technical way, but in a bluesey, real way. With the infusion of retro British soul singers (whom I all love), it's great to see an American girl who can give them a run for their money. That was without out a doubt the best performance of the night for me. I think she's my favorite female in the competition this year.

That was one of the best performances I have ever seen on American Idol! I hope she keeps going for a loooooooooooooong time on this show.
 
Tatiana can't believe she's out, did you see her face?
