Ramielle and Kristy Lee Cook also had horrid performances (my guess is it'll be one of them going home...)

I felt bad for David too, that was his youth showing up. What WAS Kristy thinking? that was horrid! I think though that David Hernandez is going to go home, he was the worst.

I was disappointed in Jason Castro (dreads) but I still think he is excellent

Chicekiez (I can't spell it) blew it out of the park too tonight. The green sweater has to go though, LOL.

I don't like the girl from Ireland, great voice, but she tires too hard or something. I can't look at her, but I might like her if I just heard her on the radio.

And what was Kristy Lee Cook thinking?! The beat was wayyy too fast and she sang it so fast for being a country song, I thought it was just awful.

I loved David Cook tonight, Chikeze was surprising (in a good way!), I even like Amanda more tonight. My least favorite is a tie between Kristy and David Hernandez...my stunning moment of the night was realizing that David Archuletta had just forgotten the words, something I'd never expect of him.

I think for going home it will be David Hernandez or Kristy Lee Cook.

I agree with all of you ....
David Cook was hot, hot hot!
My daughter loves Jason Castro.
Chikezie was a huge surprise.

I felt really bad for David Archuletta but I am sure his fan base will put him though.

As for the women....
Right now I think that I like Brook White.
Carly Smithson does not connect with me.

This is the best top 12 ever.

I wasn't a huge fan of David Cook at first, but the last few weeks he has been great!

I never liked David Archuletta and really don't understand all the hype. He's bland.

Kristy Lee Cook was awful and really should go home tonight, along with David Hernandez. Syesha is boring too.

Jason Castro is good. Carly is good. Ramiele is good but picks awful, boring songs.

I agree on both counts.

I liked Chikezie and Carly last night, voted a few times for each of them

I have never really liked Jason Castro, I just don't like the way he sings same with Brooke White, not a bad performance at all, but i just don't like her

Ramielle was VERY boring like the judges said, Kristy Lee Cook was horrible! That beat was waaaaay to fast D Hernandez really gave me the creeps last night

David Cook is good, but last week was much better for me personally, and Michael Johns sang very well, but just didn't connect with me.

Syesha is, in the words of Simon Cowell, forgettable

I was also very surprised by D Archuleta I like him a lot but he totally picked the wrong song, and forgetting the lyrics??

I HATE Amanda, I just want her gone!

I voted for Chikezie. He was AMAZING. Last week he was very low on my list, and he was at the top yesterday. I also really liked David Cook and the dread lock dude. I hope Kristy Lee goes home. That was REALLY bad, and the thing she does with her eyes really bothers me. And, I'm sorry, but David Archuletta is VERY overrated... He was really bad, and I think he sounds like he smokes 2 packs a day.

Oh and I forgot to mention - when they were talking about their jobs before Idol, who was David Hernandez kidding when he said he worked at a pizza place?? The whole country knows he was a stripper!! Just admit it!!!

Pretty entertaining night, considering I was really dreading Beatles week. Chickeze surprised me, I really enjoyed his performance and arrangement of a Beatles song I've never particularly liked.

David Cook has grown on me, but I wish the band had toned it down a bit for his performance.

First week I've actually liked Carly. I think she's better as a rocker than a Whitney wannabe.

Brooke was awesome, possibly best performance of the night.

I love Jason C., but that definitely wasn't his best. He's such a cutie though, I doubt he's in any danger of going anywhere (at least I hope not.)

David A. was a mess. He should never had tried to do the Stevie Wonder version, which I didn't even like when Stevie did it. And forgetting the words? That's often the kiss of death of Idol (although in his case I doubt it will hurt him).

I think Kristy was singing one thing and the band was playing something else. Definitely wasn't in sync, and I don't blame Kristy.

Amanda surprised me, I thought she would have a hard time with Beatles songs, but I enjoyed it.

I think Sayesha is going home because her performance was boring and forgettable. Seriously, I can't even remember what she sang (and I actually forgot it right after she was through singing it).

I think the guys are fabulous this year! I'm not to crazy about any of the girls though.

For the guys I think David Cook is really good, sounds a lot like Chris Doughtry to me. I did like David Archuleta but he's getting boring lately, and last night's performance was not good. I do like David Hernandez, last week I thought he was great but this week not so good. Chikezie I'm really starting to like! He has a great voice, he performs great and he seems like a really nice person.

For the girls I would have to go with Syesha, I think she has a great voice and she seems really confident in herself, and I like that. I did like Ramielle too, but she's been picking really boring songs lately, she does have a really good voice though. I'm just not a fan of Carly for some reason, she does not impress me. I'm not that crazy about Brooke either, but I thought she did excellent last night. I've never cared for Amanda, all she does is scream and yell. I'm not much for rocker-chicks.

By the way, I do like Paula Abdul too. I really liked her new song and video, for her age I think she looks and sounds great. I don't know why no one likes her, I think she's just having a good time when she's judging on American Idol and I don't think she's "on" anything. If she is it's because of the medical condition she has. I just find her to be a nice kind person and talented.

if you guys look at www.dialidol.com
they have syesha on the very bottom of the list..and they are pretty good at predicting the results...
david archuleta is actually at the top of the list.....surprising even though he forgot the lyrics....but he is very popular.

Why does she do that!! I think she has an amazing voice but she's terrible about her song choice.

I love his eyes but I really don't like the way he sings either.

Dialidol is not that great at predicting until the numbers are smaller IMO. I think they're right about David A though.

Kristy was godawful, though!

Paula Abdul does have a medical condition (I don't recall what) which causes her to act "funny" sometimes. She's not necessarily one of my all-time favs, but she is talented and can sing, and IMO, is a sweet girl. The one who gets on MY nerves is Simon! You can take that "I'm trying to be honest here" bit waaay too far sometimes. I think he could get his point across w/o being so nasty..

In the beginning, I kinda like Amanda. But lately, she's getting a bit too screechy for me. Ramiele has a really good voice, but she's been singing some boring songs: I think she could do better. I wasn't crazy about Carly at first, but I'm beginning to like her better than the other gals..

I just loved Michael in the beginning, but he hasn't been so hot lately (but he's still a hunk! ). David Archuletta has a fantastic voice, but he sure messed up last night. But I think he'll still make it through. I'm not really that crazy about the rest of the guys..

~KK~

I have to say I'm glad the stripper is gone. I think that leak really hurt him. Not to mention his performance was a little scary this week.

Hopefully everyone will keep stepping up. I think nervs were a factor for a couple people, performing on the big stage for the first time. By next week maybe they'll be more comfortable. I can't wait!

I'm glad he's gone, but only because he was awful I don't care what any of them do in their free time, or in the past, but he was NOT a great singer. Same with David Archuletta. I really don't get the hype about him. He's not a bad singer, but he's nothing special.

I am sooooo glad creepy guy is gone!!! I think it will be Kristy next week unless she delivers a knock out performance

So glad that creepy dude is gone. I didn't like him from day one. I wouldn't have been upset if Kristy or Syesha went, though, either. I'm thinking it's probably Kristy next week.

I, for one, totally get the hype about David Archuleta. I think he's sincere and fabulous.

However, I like Jason Castro better. He has the folky vibe about him that I love. I dig Carly, too. She just gets better every week!

the first one. I am now a fan and watch all the auditions too. There is a lot of good talent this year, I think or hope David Cook goes a long way. David Archuleta I do not like one little bit. I and others think he is a butt kisser and I don't like the funny faces and always sticking out his tongue when he sings, I try not to even look at him. Some of the girls are very good, well we shall see.

I honestly think David A is way over hyped! He's an okay singer. I just hope it doesn't become a popularity contest. He better step it up next week. I don't buy the whole innocent/young/shy smiley thing he does. Its annoying. Time to get over it. I know he's young but there have been others on Idol his age (Jordin Sparks was 16) who didn't act like that.

I don't think David H would have been a finalist, but he certainly wasn't the worst compared to some of those who stayed....
