WELL IT'S ABOUT FRIGGEN TIME


he lasted way too long.....

Glad to see George is still in it....def. a close call.....however I honestly think La Toya will (and should) win it all...(although if Diana keeps up the way she did this week...it's a possibility that she may pull out the win)

this was the most emotional episode yet! you could tell John was a popular one with the contestants. and it's not hard to see why! He's just got such a sweet personality and the strength to put up with all the shit some assholes would throw at him! He's 16!! give him a break! geeze! He's talented at what he does... and trust me, this will not be the last you see of him!
i just dont see how anyone can be so rude and mean to someone who is one of the nicest guys ever. he's talented too! look how far he made it!

eh!  I think he made it this far because of popularity....not talent....

almost like Josh Gracin from last season (who is a million times better than Stevens) but lasted a lot longer than he should have....

i'll give Stevens this....he can sing like Sinatra, and you're right, we'll prolly see his CD out eventually.....but he can only sing one type of music...he doesn't have much range at all.....not like the rest of the contestants on the show.....

he had one good night, because he picked a song in the genre that he only knows how to sing ( i think that was the movie night, not sure)....but he couldn't switch it up when trying to sing Elton John or Gloria Estefan's songs.....

sure....i'll admit, it's a little sad to see someone get the boot from the show, but i'm glad he's out, the other contestants are a lot better....

Like I said, I'd love to see George do good like the first few weeks, but I think it's going to be either La Toya or Diana(if she can keep up the good work...)

Holly, you're right. I shouldn't be so mean, but it's not like I hate him as a person...just that he couldn't sing the stuff that was put there for him.  I think that is partly American Idol's fault (WHO can sing all of that crap?), but at the same time we don't want it repetitive to the point that it is dreary.  I think age does have something to do with it.  I think throughout his career he will get to learn what he needs, and THEN he will be better.  

I still think he should have gone home before others.  That's not his fault but it still pisses some off.

it's sad to see him go - but you can't deny that his performances were getting worse as the show went on. I still love him though!

Im starting to like Jasmine more than Diana now.
I loved Simon's comment to Fantasia about her sounding like a cartoon character LOL.

Perhaps but hey we all have our own opinions Holls, I think she is a very lively and talented person but she just doesnt do it for me.
I really like American Idol, its much better than Australian Idol for some reason.
I guess its because I dont have to vote every week, argh you guys have it so good because we had to pay to vote for our Idol favorites.
Its good that she makes you feel happy though, there was this one Idol fav of mine over here named Cosima who made me happy but she had to pull out because her throat got sore and she became really sick.
(shes in my avatar- Michelle Branch, Hilary Duff and Cosima)
Lots of <3 Holly and thank you for writing in my LJ, I miss you aswell.

my affection for George is waning and building for Diana.  She was fantastic tonight, probably the best.  LaToya was great as usual.  I like Fantasia but I don't think she was that spectacular.  Should be interesting from now on though.

I have to disagree on the Diana thing, I honestly didn't think she was all that wonderful tonight, I don't necessarily think she'll go, I kinda think Jaz will go, even though I do like her.  I thought La Toya was really good- I actually enjoyed her tonight.  Fantasia's still my favorite, simply because she has a unique voice and amazing personality... I thought she did really well tonight, maybe not her best but- still real good.

Simon said it best when he said Fantasia and LaToya were in a league of their own! They both stand so high above the others... and I think it'll be a showdown between them at the end! And they are the only 2 who have been consistantly good! Neither of them has ever had a bad night!

my fave peformances of tonight:
1. LaToya
2. Fantasia
3. Diana
4. George
5. Jasmine

Fantasia is my favorite... and I think Jasmine will go home tomorrow. She's good! She just didnt compare to the others tonight!

I don't think it was right for Simon and Randy to say what they said in the end, (about who'd be in the final two).  They have their choices, but they should keep it to themselves for the time being.  I think it made the other contestants feel like crap.

All in all, not such a bad show.

1.  La Toya
2.  Diana
3.  Fantasia
4.  Jasmine
5.  George (damn, he was at the top of my list when the show started few months back)

La Toya should win it all I think.
