Last night was the first time I've watched since Ellen was on. (I watched most of the tryouts) I knew that Tim dude had VFTW backing. Overall I must say that I enjoyed it. I'm calling for Didi to go home. Was she high? I thought that Shabon (sp) was pretty bad too, but she will get sympathy votes.

both of them had been spectacular to great up until last night. Off nights, but it hurts Didi. The judges have been overly harsh on her...I have no idea why. She's been great imo. Siobahn was one of the favorites going in, but her scream at the end bit is getting old and crutchish for her.

Ahh, so Siobahn is a screamer. I didn't mind that, but she was just so off key. I couldn't help but feel bad for her. She held it together, goes back stage and loses it, and the camera follows her. OUCH.

it was a horrible performance compared to previous. Her "big voice" is stronger, which is why she always aims fo that note at the end, but despite sounding flat and nasal, she is really entertaining. She often breaks out good arrangements, good songs, great performances. Last night was horrendous. Try to find some of her stuff on Youtube.

also check out Crystal last week (Janice) and the week she did Tracy Chapman. fucking unbelievable.

Folk songs maybe, but not a rocker like he was playing. That was just weak.

Do you guys even know what a capo is for? I don't remember what song he was playing, but a capo is not a crutch or a stylish ornamentation for a guitar. It's a tool like a whammy bar or an effects pedal.

Yeah, I think they made the wrong decision too. I thought they were going to save her for a moment.

I think this definitely qualifies as a Vote for the Worst victory. :awe:

this only proves that teenage boys would rather play video games than watch american idol. : /

Didi was wrong to go when Tim sucks so much. The judges teasing her by taking a pause before they DIDN'T give her the save wasn't very nice.

Tim should have gone home. And WTF is with Usher autotuning and P Diddy rappin'? That ain't singing.

I confess. I do follow VFTW. But in fairness, they all suck this year. Seriously, people might say that Crystal and Siobhan are "good," but I wonder how they would've fared in some of the better years? I wonder if Siobhan would've even made the top 12 in some of the past years.

Didi was good eye candy and the pissy looks she would give the judges were classic, but TUrban making the tour and lasting this long just goes to show how awful the show has become. I don't think he will last much longer, as the only ones that I think stand a reasonable chance of getting booted before him are Garcia and Katie. I think Garcia will outlast Tim because apparently, he has his own following.

It went down exactly as I expected...unfortunately

At least Tim being in the bottom two means there's a good chance he'll go next week unless someone totally screws up.

Tim has been in the bottom 2 or 3 how many weeks now?

He might last one or two more weeks, but I would be shocked if he lasts much longer. I could see him outlasting Katie, possibly Garcia, and maybe that geeky teenage boy (forgot his name), but that is about as far as he can possibly go.

That's why I said, "unless someone totally screws up." This week Didi did awful (at least according to the judges) and got sent home. Last week, Paige was awful and got sent home. Next week, if someone like Katie is awful, then I think she'd go home before Tim. However, if everyone puts up at least halfway decent performances, then I think that Tim will go home. However, as we saw in the season with Sanjaya, that's not always the case. He sucked and made it into the top 7, largely thanks to VFTW.

DVR didn't record the decision--it cut off in the middle of her song. Sucks, they were stupidly harsh on her. no idea why.

You're theory about teenage boys playing video games deserves some investigation... :hmm:

I thought that guy looked familiar. so he really isn't Muddy Doddy Dohicky, or whatever Seacrest called him?

I like how in a vocal competition, most of the "professional artists" that perform on the results shows sing through heavy sampling. Hilarious!

Yah. Garcia has a strong Latino following. It's funny, I think Tim was called in special by the producer after being sent home in Hollywood, for the top 24. They never explained what happened to the original top 24 contestant that must have dropped out to leave that open spot.

For a guy that was already kicked out by the judges, it's a bit sad to see him keep on.

I agree that Siobahn wouldn't have been as competitive in other years, but Crystal, imo, is as good as anyone that has been on the show. Considering the Idol audience of teenage girls--probably not as strong a contestant, but she's easily as talented as anyone else that has been on there. I don't see her winning simply b/c of the young music-less voters, but She's definitely got the chops.

I think Simon was right to mention a few shows ago that it doesn't really matter what happens to her form here on out...and it might even be best for her that she leave now, lol! I would probably stop watching if she does.

Chris was in the bottom 3 many times last year...and he won. I don't get it.

Chris Golightly (the second coming of Justin Guarini) had a contract to be in a boy band. He claimed the contract ended, but it was actually still valid. Since he was under contract, he was booted and they brought Tim back.
