My gut feeling is that either Clay or Rueben will end up winning....

Trenyce has a powerful voice but I can't imagine her winning. Really Kimberly C sounds weak when I compare her to Trenyce. Kimberly L and Trenyce could probably sing a Diva Duet and make Aretha Franklin proud!

As for Ricky and Joshua...they did not do well last night IMO. I bet one of them will get then boot tonight ..... LOL...then again, I agree with Ginger it might be Carmen or Kim C..Who the heck knows?

Yeah4Clay!

I just couldn't make it through the whole show. I can't stand Disco, and I just couldn't do it! I saw about half the show. I can't really comment on how everyone sounded because I thought they all sounded horrible, but that was just the music not them. We did see Clay perform, and even hubby who doesn't have any interest in him said that he will probably win.


I'm glad they at least said something about Corey leaving. It would have been even more awkward if they hadn't said anything. Doesn't this mess up the amount of episodes they are doing though?

I think the Disco theme was just dumb. Jamie's right, no one sings disco, thank goodness. Madonna tried to pull it off a few years ago and even she couldn't do it (Bedtime Stories). I understand stretching their range and seeing what they can do, but if they are going to do Disco, they may as well do Broadway. Same difference - they won't be singing it again in their careers!

I really think that Ruben and Clay will be the final 2 - they are consistantly fantastic! Kimberly Locke did well last noght as well. I think Joshua will be the one to go this week. Have any of you found that Treynce always sounds the same - she has a Whitney Houston vibe going - only prob is I can only take so much of Whitney!

I just watched the show and all I have to say is - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAck! My brain was not ready for that decision—I guess it made sense since Cory screwed things up. I really thought it would be Ricky or Joshua getting the boot! Not even close....Now I am going to go EAT MY HAT! LOL!

I really thought it was going to be Josh. They were so mean to hold the suspense like that. Poor Treynce and Carmen.

American Idol night again.

I am still trying not to be annoyed with them from their goofiness from last week. Wonder what the theme is tonight. Hopefully something better than disco. Happy watching!

They didn't mention a theme did they. That must mean at show time last week they were still looking for a guest judge!

Before the finals (ie before a live audience) started, they announced that Billy Joel would be the first guest judge (I guess he and his daughter are big fans). Then, it was "He'll be a judge in April". I wonder if they are having trouble getting him on?

I think April is another "sweeps" period and they want the audience then. I know that Matthew Perry is questing on 2 episodes of The West Wing in April.

Typically sweeps are in February and May. That is usually when you see the most exciting stuff on your TV shows. But since AI isn't a regular show, meaning it doesn't have repeats, or weeks off, who knows how they judge sweeps.

I just hope that the theme is better. Better yet, ditch the theme and let them sing!!

The theme was pretty good this week. I mean, if you can't find something that fits your style in Billboard No. 1 then you can't sing. Amazingly, some didn't. I agreed with the judges on this one (although I missed Clay and Kimberley's comments). Kimberly C. and Carmen were just horrible. I even really like Kimberly C. but that song was a bad choice. I think Trenyce will round out the bottom 3.

Ruben was the stand out performance again tonight. He is amazing.

I agree...I thought Kim C and Carmen could have done better. I really thought Kim L and Trenyce did a FAB job tonight! Reuben was good ol' Rueben...wonderful as usual.
My bet for elimination is going to be Carmen. She just doesn't seem to be as strong as the others. JMO

Reuben is gonna be a big star even if he doesn't win this contest. He is a natural.
I still like Ricky Smith. I think his voice is different from all of theother singers and that is what gives him an edge.
At this point they could start eliminating two at a time because it is obvious who is going and who is staying. This is my opinion, of course
I think it will come down to Reuben and Clay, what do ya'll think???

Staying:
Reuben
Clay

Going:
Kim C.
Trenyce
Carmen

Not Sure Yet:
Josh
Ricky
Kim L.

I also think it will come down to Ruben and Clay, but stranger things have been known to happen. Everyone thought Tamyra would go further than she did too.

I think Josh has a Country career in hand, no matter how much further he goes in the competition. I think he and Ricky are on about the same ground, performance wise. I did think that Ricky had one of his best performances tonight, the song really fit him. Kim L. has been a bit inconsistent, but seems to be getting better as the competition goes on.

I agree with your list of who will go. I think it will be Carmen this week, Kim C. next week, Trenyce the following, unless something horrible happens. Kim L. seems to be the wild card with the eliminations. She's been in the bottom 3 so often....

OK, call me an 80's girl, but I LOVE Lionel Richie. It was cool to see him, and I think he gave some of the most constructive criticism so far.

Clay and Ruben were great. Josh has found his niche. I like Rickey's voice, and liked his song. Kimberley L. had balls to sing a Celine Dion song, and did wonderfully. Kimberley C., Carmen and Trenyce are being left in the dust.

My top 4:Clay, Ruben, Kimberely L. and Josh.

I am with you Christy, it was nice to see Lionel there. I thought he was a great guest judge. The best so far. He seemed like a real fan of the show.

I loved the song that Clay sang, it brings back such memories, and I was totally on the same track as Ryan Seacrest. Everytime I hear that song I think of Family Ties. I can't help it. Clay did wonderfully. He is still my favorite, but Reuben is creeping in there!

Reuben, Josh, Ricky and Kim L. did really well too. I wish there were more upbeat songs though, seemed it was all about the ballad last night. Hopefully that won't be an upcoming theme.

Carmen and Kim C. were just terrble. Yuck. Now, I like Carmen in general, but I just thought it was a terrible selection for her and I was right with Simon on that. Kim C. seemed like she was trying to step outside her box, and my god she should stay in the box. Get back in the box woman!

Trenyce, I mean the girl has talent right? Then why is it every time she goes for the high notes I feel like my ears are going to bleed? Was it just me? Probably.

My pick to go: Carmen
Personally I would want Kim C. to go, but since they have that carry over thing happening from last week, I am guessing Carmen.

Ok, I think that is it.

Gotta be catty for a minute....

OMG did you see Carmen and Clay at the end of "All Night Long"??? Did they actually kiss? JMO, but even if they are an item, keep it off the stage. That's just not professional.
