I don’t know why but Kelly just has me wrapped around her finger. I’d love to take her home and give her smoochies. Her voice is incredible. I wouldn’t mind making her hit a few high notes. (Dude, I have turned into a man now that I’m single.)
Tamyra was good, Nikki pulled something out of her ass to get compliments from Simon - I’m afraid she’s going to make it to next week! Justin…eh, I used to be a big fan of his but his song choice sucks and I don’t like watching him anymore.
I am sooo sucked into this show. Kelly is my first choice too. I knew she was gonna have to do some kind of Celine song and I wasn’t wild about “It’s Raining Men” but she is still my favorite.
Nikki was better this week. The Melissa Etheredge song fit her well but after last week (My God she was awful last week) I’m still hoping she gets the boot tomorrow.
Justin, Justin, Justin. His first song was great, didn’t know the song but he sang it well. Then he comes out and does PYT from Thriller? Who told him that this would be a good choice. It was horrible. I would hate for him to be voted out but it was really bad.
Tamrya was as good as she usually is but I didn’t like her first song either.
Well theres my POV on tonights show. Can’t wait to find out who will gone tomorrow.
I just thought she did really well tonight–it was the first time that I ever wanted to go and find an mp3 of the songs sung during the show. “I’m the Only One” really showcased her voice well, IMO.
Plus, my dream would be to have an all-female final three, especially because Justin SUCKS. That dance? Truly awful. Truly truly awful. I’m pretty sure Kelly will get through tomorrow–she’s mega popular (and looked cute as anything tonight!), but her and Tamyra’s voices really did sound strained tonight. I’ve always thought it would be hard to be a singer, and have to conserve your voice, stay away from smoke, etc.
I thought this was not one of Kelly’s better nights. Her voice was really straining, especially on SURRENDER. And she BELTS;she really doesn’t sing. (She looked tired tonight, too. Maybe it was the light or no lipstick and the few zits on her chin, I dunno.)
I find something very touching about Nikki. Even though she’s the weakest of the four singers left, I’m kind of rooting for her. Maybe it’s that while she puts on all the trappings of the tough girl (belly-button, tongue-stud and all) there’s a very vulnerable girl underneath.
Tamyra did not impress me tonight. I had a hard time finding the melody to her second song. It just went all over the place and then it was done. And her “New Attitude” was just so-so!
But I DO like Justin. There is something very “American Idol” about him. I think he’s the unique contestant up there! He’s the only guy left. He’s exotic looking (Sideshow Bob “do” and all) and the oozes some kind of pre-teen sex appeal. That makes him a hit! I liked the songs; I liked his little dance moves. And how come it’s OK for the girls to life Pattie LaBelle and Celine Dion numbers. . . but it’s not OK for Justin to borrow a Michael Jackson song??? That smacks of something!
But I haven’t made one single phone call for any of them. And I won’t in the next few weeks.

Tamyra could not be more generic. She does less than nothing for me, and I say that recognizing that she is talented. [Eddie]In an extraordinarily boring way.[/Eddie] Please make her go away.
Nikki is sweet and vulnerable and I am also pulling for her. I would rather she pull this out of the hat than Ms. Dullness move on.
Kelly’s got the chops, and her voice was obviously toasted this week, not her fault and she kicked ass anyway. What I like most about her is that she is the most natural of all of them. I get the feeling that no matter what happens she’s going to be ok, her values are in order.
And Justin? What can I say about Justin… except that he really truly does send little thrills through my body every single week. He is so very beautiful, so very yummy, bursting with charisma. If we’re talking pure, distilled star power, it’s Justin. I don’t know if he can have an adult career, but I think he could make some millions being the dream date of legions of adolescent girls.
I predict/hope that it will be him and Kelly in the final round.
If Nikki gets into the top three, it will be because of her look, and all the things the posters mentioned here. That girl CANNOT sing. Seriously. I knew girls in high school who could do what’s she’s doing or better.
I like Tamyra. She’s definitely in that Whitney/Celine vein but seems quite a bit more down to earth. I wish she hadn’t straightened her hair. She was way cuter with the 'fro.
Justin? Eh.
Kelly, Kelly, KELLY. LOVE HER. Love her voice and personality. She’s cute as hell. IANALesbian, but she makes me go all a-tingly. I hope she wins.
DarbyV, you weren’t crazy about It’s Raining Men?? Imagine how I felt!
I just don’t get into the Nikki following. The red hair doesn’t do a thing for me but I do think she is an extremely attractive girl. She’s got those big, beautiful eyes. But Christ almighty, I just don’t think she can sing. She’s frequently flat on notes and it just makes me cringe.
I like Tamyra. She’s a great singer.
As for Justin - I’m just amazed at how many people find him so attractive. I thought (weeks and weeks ago when he was still somewhat modest) that he was a little cutie. Now, all I want to do is give him a pop in the nose. I can’t stand the head bobbing. But boy, that guy had some strong looking arms last night!
Kelly is my favorite. She is just such a strong, natural singer. Her personality is great. She’s not a…hm…classic beauty. More like someone that will always be called Cute. But hell, Katie Couric is normally referred to as cute and I’d take her home any day.
To some extent, I won’t flinch no matter who wins because the others are going to get recording contracts from someone and then the market will be the true test. It’s not like the rest are prevented from recording and I have this feeling that years from now, they’ll look back and think, “God, I won that stupid competition…” Either way, Kelly, Tamyra, and Justin seem set.
I loved Kelly’s performances last night. Strained voice or not, she sounded wonderful! Nikki was ok, but I think she isn’t nearly as good as the other three. Of course, she could sing circles around me, but then again, I’m not on American Idol. Tamyra is a fabulous singer, but Patti LaBelle, she ain’t. She is so strong on ballads, but the faster songs just aren’t her thing. Justin is adorable, and if I were 10 years younger, I’d have posters of him hanging in my bedroom.
I think Kelly is consistantly good, and I’m rooting for her to win.
I can’t decide between Kelly and Tamyra. I like them both so well. I like their looks–Big Band Night was my favorite so far–and their voices. Kelly is such a nice person. Her smile and little waves at the end of her performances kill me. She’s thanking people individually for cheering for her! How cute is that.
I don’t get Justin. I don’t think he’s sexy in any way at all and I’m not crazy about his performances either. Obviously he’s talented as he has had the crowd in a frenzy since the begining, but he leaves me cold.
Nikki has the most amazing eyes, but should have been gone weeks ago. I think I was almost angry when she got to stay over RJ and Nikki.
To tell the truth, I can’t believe I’ve been sucked in like this. I think it’s Simon. I may be in love.
I don’t think I’ve ever like Paula Abdul less. Not that I was ever a fan, but now I think she should stick to singing and leave off the talking thing.
Nikki’s singing last night–particularly the Melissa Etheridge–sounded to me like so-so karaoke covers. Although I liked her first song okay, I firmly believe that she’s getting the axe next.
Tamyra’s a Toni Braxton knock-off. She can wail, but there’s nothing interesting about her.
If I was 11 again, I would have my mom drive me past Justin’s house every day.
Kelly deserves to win. And she actually made me like a Celine Dion song. But did anyone else think she was totally out-of-sync with the backup tape on “It’s Raining Men”?
Simon Cowell is the best thing on reality television ever. Even though he smokes Kools.
Justin : I wouldn’t mind making HIM hit a few high notes Tibs!
Always liked young flesh… oh if my husband read that…
Love Nikky but I don’t know how she made it that far next to the other two girls…
How long can this show possibly last… please, let’s get it over with!
I thought that none of the top three sang their best. You could tell that Kelly’s voice was tired from the week of rehersing two songs, plus studio time for the “Idol Single”. Kelly still managed to sound fantastic – I actually believed Simon when he put her in the Celine category (I don’t think Tamayra is up there).
Nikki, on the other hand, sounded the best she ever has – I still think she was the worst of the group, but surprisingly not horrible. Now, if she would remove the tongue stud, maybe she could reach the next level! (Seriously, though, don’t you think that having a tongue stud would have a negative effect on your singing ability?)
Yes, I’m still watching this show. (Curse you, wife)!
Nikki drives me insane. She cannot sing. Can. Not. Sing. I cringe when she’s up there. She gots to go.
Tamyra and Kelly are pretty similar voice-wise, but I think Kelly has more charisma, so she trumps Tamyra.
However, as much as I loathe him, I think Justin is going to win. I said this in another American Idol thread, but the wife and I have a bet going - she picked Kelly and I picked Justin, simply b/c there are millions of teenaged girls watching and voting on this show, and they’re going to vote for him.
But hands-down, the worst thing about this show are those two imbeciles they have as hosts. Does anyone - ANYONE like them? Think they’re funny? Do they bring anything to the table at all? It’s so painful watching them up there delivering bomb after bomb. And does anyone else think they need to reel in that crowd? I’d much rather listen to the judges than a bunch of screaming.
At www.televisionwithoutpity.com they always refer to the hosts as Black and Decker so now I always hear power tools when they are talking. Quite the improvement.
