From Prospect High School, which yet again has produced an unbelievable talent. Something in the water around here

Bet All The Women For 10 Bucks Each...

Sorry, but this show has really jumped the shark this season. Ellen is a worse judge than Paula was and that was hard to do. I've been stuck watching this show withthe family from season one on and at least they had some people with talent to make it interesting, but there doesn't seem to be much talent in this group.

Lily Scott at 20-1 is where my money would be.
She may not be appealing enough to gain a big enough fanbase to win it all, but she'll go to at least the top 5.

The chalk is too good. Forget last week (poor song choice.) Take the 4/1. It's (easily) a pro voice. Just don't show his people in the big flower prints anymore.

agreed

My favorites are Crystal, Andrew and Casey.

Simon Cowell's sabotage of the franchise - making room for his new show next year...I've been pretty much over it since Ruben Studdard won

I only liked watching people mess up. Kept things interesting rather than listening to nothing but perfect singers

I thought the guys were lacking tonight... Dewyze was pretty good though.

Those are the SADISTIC shows. I don't have any interest in watching that. It's too bad they support the Sadistic aspect of some people's personality. None of those judges really like that, but they have to act like they do. In the shows they're doing now, do they look like they enjoy bad singing? No, they don't.....Most of their critiques were legit this week. Only odd comments were towards the girl playing the piano. She was really good. It's just that Ellen is hyper, and doesn't enjoy a slow song like that one was done. That girl's (Kaetlin, I think) head is sorta fkd up now. BTW, Ellen should consider wearing turtleneck sweaters, because her neck is brutal. As it is, those Cover Girl Make Up commercials are already uncomfortable situations. Now, you might say those are sadistic comments I made, but they aren't. If my comments were read to her, I wouldn't enjoy watching her response.

oddsmakers are pretty good, as losers tonight were 80,50,40, and 18/1.

LOL..A Minority Cut...3 Blacks, 1 Asian...I think 2 of the 4 were legit cuts. The other 2 were close calls. If I was the Mexican Dude (or the 2 other Blacks still left,) I'd be very concerned. Time to come with their best, or they are simply gone. If they aren't incredible next week, then, they are gone. That's pretty obvious. They cut the Blacks real quickly last year, too.

For 3 weeks, I've tried to figure out wtf is wrong with that Andrew guy. I figured it out. Go back to the auditions. Listen to just 5s of them. Then, listen to the last 3 weeks. O.K., I can tell you this guy needs the same set up he had. This set up is making him sound tinny, and there's no echo(he needs a lil echo added.) His voice was sounding warmer etc. in the auditions. For his voice, the set up is incredibly important. I think he's going out tonite, and I don't think it's because of what they're saying. He could do everything they say, and it still wouldn't sound as good as the auditions. That set up was dead solid perfect for his voice. This set up is horrible for his voice. You can't tell me they don't know it. He might not know it. Anyways, I think he's gone, and the rest bore me. So, I will probably not pay them much attention until the last week. So, someone let me know when they're getting close to the end. No matter how they gush for that Crystal chick, she isn't unique. Yea, she's good, but not unique. She better be a dyke, because she needs to at least have that built-in fan base if she wins this(probably will.) Diabetes could easily cost her this thing though.

You could be right... He has'nt sounded so good lately and at first I really thought he would be in the final 4...Last night was pretty lame.

I thought Michael Lynche blew them all away with last night performance.

I think the ones going home this week are Aaron and Paige.

Crystal Bowersox 13/2

Has a real Janis Joplin feel. I can't wait till she cuts an album

Me too..kinda a cross between Janis and Bonnie Raitt with some Joan Osborne thrown in. Only other one who comes close to her is that Siobohn Magnus chic.

She is my favorite too... I think it will come down to her and Casey or Michael..I kinda lost hope with Alex after last night, but still quite a ways to go yet, and he could get back into the top with another performance like he did during the auditions.

Too early for me to get a handle on their fan bases yet, Crystal and big Mike appear at the top of their game thus far but when they are mandated to do songs out of their comfort zone things could change. Tough cut tonight on guy's side, one pretty evident but the second??

How many more weeks to go?

I like Didi but she won't win it.

Fat Boy got through. I think his fans weren't very happy with how critical the judges were. If the judges were a little more supportive, then his fans would probably have not been so warned. Seems they won't allow his vocals to be turned up. So, he better really back off on the guitar n' the volume of the instrumental they're adding. When he has to sing loudly it totally destroys his chances. Given the situation, he should sing acapella (like he did singing "Sunday Morning" in the audition.)

^Another example of how he should be getting mic'd up on that show. It's so obvious the producers want to get rid of him. Any kind of hi sensitivity mic'n would do. When he's mic'd this tightly, he doesn't over-sing. Pretty sad that they aren't interested in showing him in the best situation they can.

Lee Dewyze
 

Going to win it I think.... Totally ROCKED this song!! :{>:

Believe me, this guy is the most talented, but he doesn't work hard enough. What's he gained 50-70 lbs. since he made this video a year ago? He's pretty wasted here, too. At some point, he's gunna have to apply himself a lot more, and reduce.

He got booted weeks ago.

He's too fat n' lazy to master a song in a week. Even if he performed to his capabilities, he'd of probably come 3rd, or 4th. There are two valid White Choices, and it's gotten to be a very White Audience. These final two are hard to separate on talent. They both have nice voices that aren't actually that unique (just really good versions of voices that you've heard before.) This Andrew guy has a more unique voice than these two, but he's never gunna work as hard as they do. Of the final 2, the girl is a much more polished performer. She will probably get as fat as the Heart lead singer though. Either one is a good choice.

My first time watching this comedy show and while not sure what they judge on, Lee got smoked tonight by the girl.

She isn't commerical at all though. Lee will probably outsell her, he has alot of Dave Matthews going on in his voice.

As embarrassing as this is to admit, I did watch with my daughter tonight and Everyone Hurts and Beautiful Day are not his style. Not sure if that is an excuse, but it's still a popularity contest it seems like.

What is embarrassing about it? Erin Andrews already danced in this ridiculously awesome get-up and there is no use to watching the comedy Cubs or Sox or the comedy NBA.

Crystal rocked tonight! I think Lee may have peaked a week too soon :D

I like both Crystal and Lee. They have always been my two faves. I think both of them will have good careers. I lean more towards Lee. Although Crystal did better last night than he did. I didn't like Lee's song choices. I really only liked Crystals last song. I don't really care who wins. :{>: Lee is adorable so I am leaning towards him, but am happy that my two faves were the final two. I will buy both of their albums.

Agree....

Lee Wins!!!!!!!
 

The winner!!!!!!!!!! :{>:

Hometown..ok..next town over guy

Females shouldn't bother trying out for this show. It's painfully obvious 13 year old girls control 80% or more of the voting.

How else can you explain last year and this year?

I just reviewed this with my daughter..that doesn't explain David Archeletta since he should have gotten the swing vote, but otherwise unless you are Carrie Underwood and obviously the best, you won't win if you are a female anymore.

The problem is they don't limit the number of votes. It's basically a "Damn I'd f.uck him/her" competition and not one based on vocal talent/stage presence, etc.

Yup...plus, they advertise a speed dial function ( you know this better than me probably) that really distorts things.

Look..at least they weed out the trash and the finalists ( or even beyond) will make money if they are worthy. If you have talent and you make the top 5 or 6, you will do fine.

It was obviously the dreds that did her in.
