I think George almost shit himself too....lol
I mean everyone was either crying or stopped breathing!!
I think the judges were right when they told people to stop making it a popularity contest. I mean I thought she made strange faces when she sang but MY GAWD...SHE COULD SING!!!! lol

She did sing great, but I almost wonder if part of the problem is that too many people figured she'd be in the top 3 anyway, and to vote for someone a bit less likely to make the top 3. I am figuring that all 3 were just shoved out by their obvious musical talent, because so many thought other's were already voting for them.

After last night, though, I have a feeling people will think about who they vote for.

I think you're right, Gilly. Several weeks back when we were voting (we've only voted on three occasions, but might now either vote more or not at all... the jury's still out), my daughter insisted on spending some of her time voting for JPL... because she likes him, wanted him to stay, and felt sorry for him. NOT because he was the best.

Totally blew me away last night. I wonder what the atmosphere is like in the house they're all living in... glad I'm not there.

They've had that every season so far. Once it happens, the voters tend to fall back in line. I'm pulling for La Toya. I may have convinced the wife that she should join us for a 3some, too. LOL

I've been a LaToya fan from the start... I love her voice and her presence. You're right, Skyler.... in the end, hopefully the right person will win, and the rest will be voted off at some point. But still...that bottom 3 last night absolutely floored me.

I was very impressed when LaToya made it into the top 12, because she was quite composed, and classy about it. I can't wait to see what next week brings us.

I wonder if Fantasia and Jennifer were in the lower three because people didn't like the arrangements of the songs they did, even though Barry did them himself. I know I hated the way Fantasia did "It's a Miracle" and was really hoping she'd be the one to go when it came down to her and Jennifer. But I did like Jennifer's rendition of "When Will I See You Again", and LaToya did a wonderful job on her song. I agree, LaToya is a class act and easy on the eyes as well.
If Salsa is the genre next week I would guess it will be the end of the line for John Stevens. And wasn't that incredibly rude of Simon to say, on live TV, that John reminded him of Stan Laurel? It had nothing to do with the way he sang and I think he could have told him privately. But that's just my opinion.

That was on the idol website. R4T was right ;)

oooOoOoo It's on in a few minutes here. I am chomping at the bit to see who sings what, and how they do. :)

I have the song list already... don't want to spoil anything though. Just like to say that I think everyone's songs are fitting. :)

How didja get that?!?!

Ok, I didn't like performer #1's dancing. It looked... like a chicken strutting.

Performer #2 felt really flat on the song. The voice just wasn't the right tone.

LOL - I don't know where my friend found the list but she sent it to me. As for #1 - I agree about that, and the voice was just a little childish for the song. #2 - Yeah, the performance just didn't blow me away.
I'm so excited that the Miami Sound Machine is there! :)

It's not even 6:00 here.... I wanna see it too!!! :(

Ok, I think #3 was good, but not that performer's best. #4... well, I think everyone knew that performer wouldn't mesh. "Chocolate ice cream and onions". #5 I thought was good, and well, I'm just a huge fan of #6, and loved it.
