AMERICAN IDOL....Season 11

I think Phillip is positioned well for commercial success. He has a very distinctive style, which doesn't show a lot of variety on a show like AI, but probably would sell well (a la Dave Matthews) in the real world. I like him but agree that he may not be diverse in his performances enough to win.

I think this is the most talented group I can ever remember on Idol. It may be due to better coaching, but nobody gets up there and BOMBS the way they used to sometimes in prev seasons.  I think Hollie will go tonight, and then maybe Elise.  I think she is good, but somehow doesn't quite connect with the audience - maybe an age thing? I don't know.

But after Hollie and Elise go - the rest are SO GOOD.  It's hard to imagine one of them being voted out.

One thing I have noticed - Ryan used to mention the # of votes they received every week and thank the audience for them. Now he never mentions it. I wonder if that's because voting is down...?

We DVR it and watch it on delay so we can zip through the commercials. I don't think I could tolerate if if we had to watch it straight through. SO MANY commercials. (And we zip through the judges' comments/banter sometimes too. It just moves too slowly.) 

Didn't Ryan mention last week how many votes were received?

I don't remember either, my short term memory is shot, my grandkids get a kick out of nini going purposely into a room and having no idea what I went there for.  Age is a wonderful thing, NOT.

Hi all, I may not be on as much as I usually am, my daughter is going to give me a pedicure during Idol, but will sure be watching, wish I had a laptop!  That picture of PP was a killer Sheila!!!!!!

I'm here, no daughter yet, Wouldn't it be something if Jessica's side is the bottom 3!  I do think Hollie will go home though.  No to Skylar being in the bottom 3 - that would be terrible.

Oh my... James Durbin has gone blond!

Oh my indeed, was  he that screamy before?

Ok... So that was cool.. James Durbin got married and Stefano Lagone was the best man and Casey Abrams nd Haley Reinhart attended... Guess some of the friendships we see develop are real....

You're not alone Sheila, what if those that the judges raved about are in the bottom 3--- controversy.

Could very well be.  No pedicure tonight, daughter's allergies are crazy tonight, so I'll be with you!.

Yep....I'm thinking the group that we assume is safe (Jessica, Elise) is actually not.
