Speaking of Syesha...anyone think that Cowell may have been trying to get her some extra votes by saying she's in trouble this week?  I seriously doubt he really believes she deserves to go more than Brooke or Jason.  I think he knows how the voting public reacts to the judges comments now and that was emphasized the prior week when Carly went away.  Jason or Brooke should have gone and the judges said so...instead we got Carly & Syesha in the bottom and I thought they were the two best that week.



IMO Simon knows that Syesha is on the bubble having been in the bottom three in recent weeks.  At this point it's a voting competition between fan bases, and he knows Syesha likely has the smallest one of the remaining contestants based on recent results.  Knowing she was the most likely to go last night, he tried to make himself look smart by saying she was in trouble, then if she did go he would look like a "genius".

Brooke was on Fox and Friends this am,as was Carly Simon(neither in the studio).Carly was very complimentary and encouraging to Brooke and said she was honored that Brooke had performed "You're So Vain"!Carly continues to not divulge whom that song is about.

I know it's not realistic, but I don't think the judges should get to hear the dress rehearsals.
Not if their comments are supposed to actually mean anything. But of course that's unrealistic
for a lot of reasons. They have to figure out the timing of the shows, and Idol is notorious for
running over, but still, here's what I don't understand. Do the judges actually critique the singers
at the DR? Wouldn't that give the contestants the opportunity to change things completely? And
what if the timing was completely different from one show to the next? Unless you have things
totally scripted, or at least way more so than the audience probably realizes, how could it work?
I get that the contestants need the rehearsal, and the stage crew does, etc., but the judges could
just stay home and take a nap. Since they changed the format in mid-stream and threw Paula totally
for a loop, what good did the rehearsal do the judges anyway? Obviously it just created a colossal
problem, and there was poor Ryan being forced to defend the state of Paula's sobriety or something
because she was "family and we love her." Oi, what a mess.

Oh, and I'm patting myself on the back for voting for Syesha all these weeks, although now it looks like
I should have added in a few for MJ and Carly, which totally took me by surprise. Now if Archuleta does a
Daughtry I think the whole world will have a mass spasm of disbelief.

mattsie - There's a show on the CW that's exclusively for hot, talented girls already - it's called Girlicious, and it just wrapped up. I think Idol is supposed to be for everybody. I would enjoy the show less if the same type of singer won every year.

bcollan - Hmmm, I don't like Kat being described as a Disney princess; I prefer to think of her as an "aspirational figure" to young girls. That sounds more distinguished.

DJ Co, I hope you're good at remixing; this season's compilation of highlights will need a lot of help.

It would've been funny if Ryan sent Paula to the couch after he affirmed her place on the show.

Syesha will appear more impressive in the history books than she does now in the present. Her problem is the songs/style she's presented is mostly played out at this point; if she had been on the show in the early years, she'd have been more loved. Also, her backtalking to the panelists is not helping her with the public.

This pool is frustrating - I gained 10 points, doubling my total, but still lost ground on the leader.

Right,Groucho..what a mess!Paula's flub has received much media attention...even the NY Times gave it coverage!
Of course,questions about the show's credibility are again raised,but just read that even though ratings have dropped,they are still 7 million viewers ahead of the nearest show in the timeslot.The PTB are therefore cocky,stating that all the Judges and Ryan are safe...not getting kicked off the island anytime soon.They also say that if The Price is Right has lasted all these eons,then Idol could do the same........ugghh!Picture AI 20: Simon with a gray crewcut and Paula,not really that much more confused.......turn up your hearing aid,Randy!!

Oh, about the prizes...where's my Taylor Hicks CD!  Isn't that what the winner was going to get last year?    OK, I don't really want it.  Nevermind. 


Joe, if you really want that Taylor Hicks CD, I'll see if I can find you one.   Okay, so on to the winner of the Fabulous Five Week Prize . . .

We had three people (Kate4ChrisandKat, trsf and Shinamarih) who picked Brooke White to leave this week, who were entered in a drawing to win an American Idol Gift Card and AI-7 CD Mix, the lucky winner is . . . .  Kate4ChrisandKat!!  

I hate for people to go home empty-handied, so trsf and shinamarih will also get a copy of the A-7 CD Mix too! 

I'll be sending the three of you a PM to get your mailing address.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thanks for the gift, CoBaby! I appreciate the personal touch!

I think Jason goes this week, even if he isn't the low votegetter. Has he made any sort of progression, since the beginning of the competition (other than learning to play the ukulele)? I really don't want to listen to him sing 3 songs the following week.

Could AI 7 possibly heading for an all-male top 3? Perhaps not, but I'm thinking maybe Syesha has used up her nine lives this week.

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first it's got to start inside of me.
