<p>This season I forward through almost everything, watching the show in about 15 minutes. But even with that, I could tell that Ryan is acting weird. My son thought he was drunk - not sure what else to make of his behavior. Maybe he was dancing because Paula wasn’t there to dance, but its weird.</p>
<p>Not only Ryan - Simon is out of it, too. He often seems not to care and just shrugs. Short timing.</p>
<p>Andrew Garcia is the first to go tonight - no surprise!</p>
<p>No surprise at all. The opening number was terrible. It was something that you would see from a “not-so-very talented” high school group of kids. Actually, AI should be embarrassed to present such a crappy intro.</p>
<p>Okay Katie is booted too. No surprise really…Tim had a better week.</p>
<p>Glad that Andrew and Katie are gone; they’ve been pretty boring the past couple of weeks. I was a bit annoyed originally that Tim got through instead of Alex Lambert, but that’s not really his fault, and he’s growing on me. Unlike some contestants, he’s pretty sure of what he does best (making girls swoon with an acoustic and a ballad) and he actually has been getting better.</p>
<p>Adam was the best part of this week by far, though. Oh, I miss him.</p>
<p>It was funny to hear Ryan sayin something like" Now, that’s a performance" to Adam LAmbert! then we had to go back and listen to the “others”
Ryan is right, he was and is in a different league.</p>
<p>I liked Siobhan way better than the judges did. I think she is great but according to them, she can’t do anything right. </p>
<p>Are they trying to point us to a Crystal vs Lee finale?</p>
<p>TrixieAnn, I agree with you.</p>
<p>I also wonder why the judges always criticize Shioban’s singing, song choice or arrangement. I know she has been a screamer ala Adam Lambert, but she hasn’t done that in a few weeks. I really liked tonight’s song - much better than all the men. I think the blond hunk will be voted off (sorry - I’m having a senior moment and can’t remember his name!!)</p>
<p>michone, I think that you are talking about Casey.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know, but it seems unfair to me.</p>
<p>The judges really seem to be judging each contestant based on that contestant’s past performances more than on the general pool. They’ve done it before, of course, but Tim getting more positive feedback than Siobhan? There’s no fair way for me to rationalize that.</p>
<p>I’ve tried to like Shioban…but she sounds flat to me, especially tonight. I don’t think she’s consistent for an entire song. </p>
<p>I thought all along this was a two horse race. But Crystal was so clearly ahead of the competition tonight, far above even Lee. At this point I feel same as I did last season…if Adam didn’t win, wouldn’t have mattered—he’s great. Same now with Crystal.</p>
<p>^^yes, after Crystal sang last night, DH said they might as well call it off and declare her the winner. She is so much better than the rest. Then DH said “she prob. won’t even win”. And you’re right 2331, it won’t even matter now. </p>
<p>I think either Tim or Aaron should be the next to go.<br>
I agree Siobhan always seems to get more criticism from the judges than some of the others who are less talented.</p>
<p>IMHO… I have also tried to like Siobhan since the beginning. In fact I think in the beginning I did like her for a short time. Aaron is a young talent, but do not believe he will win, Michael is def a talent, but nothing too special, Tim is talented but nothing special, Casey is good but kinda sounds the same every week ???, Crystal is way talented, and there’s something about Lee I really like, and loved his song last night. I also somehow think it will be Crystal or Lee in the end as well.</p>
<p>How the heck is Tim still on ? Is it the teenyboppy vote? He certainly is cute in a very young sort of way, but come on!?</p>
<p>Tim is still on because of the tween vote. Somewhere there are Disney writers locked in a room writing a show for Tim!</p>
<p>I am still not thrilled enough with any of them to vote.</p>
<p>Siobhan should have sang One Moment in Time by Whitney.
I think Krystal is to win, she has something really special, like a quiet lion, right?</p>
<p>Just found this thread…lovin it! Forget college stuff…let’s get to the real important AI issues!!
I so wish Lee would smile… and I so wish any and all of the contestants would actually move on stage!!! They all just stand there! Time to reach deep for their inner Mick Jagger!</p>
<p>Would I see a concert with any of these people, nope! for that reason, they don’t move, thaey are frozen, boring. Would I buy a recors? I think I woud give Krystal a try, maybe even Tim bc he sounds commercial enough not to bore me. Simon is right, in everything!</p>
