sorry I didn't see your post before posting my "horseplayer's perspective" thread -- I was typing up my writeup when you posted!

Even we disagree a bit tonight. The top 3 were agreed upon pretty well though!

Good night for my girl Jordin!

10 out of 12 sucked....but you know who sucks the worst? The judges for not picking better people to begin with. This season reminds of a high school full of let's say basketball talent. People don't go out for the team because of the coach and you could end up picking 5 guys up in the hallways beat them. That's the way this show is this season. You could probably find 10 people in the audience that could sing better....

Ha, I was joking around tonight during the show about my own vocal ability. I have always said (since I was 18) that I think I'm a better songwriter than a singer by far. I then said that most of the people in Idol are good singers, they just pale in comparison to the good ones. I can honestly say, for the first time, that I am a better singer than Sanjaya.

What a ****ing ego boost.

They should just eliminate all the guys but Blake, and have those seven sing for five weeks and then start eliminating people again. I'm so so so bored with half of each show.

I kinda agree...there are 6-7 folks who deserve to be here and three who are immensely talented, I think folks that knock the entire group are indeed doing what we hear every year about the three year olds. Please tell me who has been more impressive in Idol history than the top 3 this year? My favorite is Ms Underwood and she has the sales and awards to tell me that I'm not alone but these three girls are special! Melinda...anyone who doesn't like her is looking for something foreign to me, Jordin just keeps getting better each week and LaKisha proved tonight that she can do more than simply rely on her big voice....I love God Bless The Child but I was afraid she'd oversing it...but despite the big arena and the juices flowing, she held back and sang it perfectly....those three performances match any I've heard on Idol!

This Is One Of The Worst Groups Of American Idols Ever! You Could See Any Of Them In Your Local Karaoke Bar. I Think The Background Singer Melinda Will Win It And She Is The Favorite On Many Betting Sites. And I Cant Stand The Chris Dude Who Is A Tmberlake Copycat. I Can't Imagine Who Would Buy Records By These People. There 15 Minutes Is Definitely Up!

What's with the caps? Sorta adds credibility to my concept of attention seeking behavior....

You know, though, it just varies year to year. I know we're gearing up for auditions for the theater program at my job, and every year is different. Some years we have trouble finding ten decent actors; some years we're having to turn down oodles of GREAT people because there are ten even better than they (at which point I grumble, "Where were you last year, darnit?") It's really odd how some years are just better than others. I would think Idol is the same way-some years it's a deep talent pool, and some years it's not.

Hmm... kinda like the three-year-olds crop.

Kinda like your face.

Ha, sorry I've just always wondered how it would feel to say that to someone online

Been a shitty week at work. Thanks B-dub for a huge LOL.

Buffy's opinions for what they are worth:

1. Brandon - Sorry dude, but you sucked this week.

2. Melinda - She was awesome. She deserves to be in the finals.

3. Chris S - Vocally, I thought he was decent, but he did weird up the arrangement too much for me. I understand what he was trying to do, he just didn't do a very good job of it.

4. Gina - I liked her last night. Although I think her pronunciation would get better if she took the tongue ring out of her mouth.

5. Sanjaya - WILL HE PLEASE GO HOME ALREADY? IF I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS GIRLIE BOY ONE MORE WEEK....

6. Haley - I AGREED with Simon 100%. She did well.

7. Phil - He did better than I thought he would. I thought he would butcher his song this week, but he was alright.

8. Lakisha - Great job. FINALS BOUND.

9. Blake - Alright I guess. He wasn't great, but he didn't suck either.

10. Stephanie - She reminds me too much of Fantasia and I never liked Fantasia. I predict she will go home soon.

11. Chris R. - Same as Blake.

12. Jordin - AWESOME! I love her. I think she is my favorite of the whole bunch.

the way to fix that is the judges need to have more of a deciding roll when they go from 24 to 12.......
