On Tonights show
I dislike all the critique Kyra gives all the singers. In doing this she screw up their minds, with her weekly 'what to do's'. And 'waht not to do's'. Simon doesn't bother me @ all, just expect him to be the obnoxious superior Brit, he think's he is.
My Top Remaing After Tommorw Night
Siobhan
Krisite
Casey
Lee
Crystal
Mike
Aaron (JMO) And not in this order.

Aaron did a great job. Casey I love his voice, stage performance and guitar style. I see him doing Country in the future. And I'd buy his cd. Siobhan's voice range is astonishing, amazing.  Crystal had much more enthusiasm tonight. She does indeed sound like Janis Joplin, Pink and Stevie Nicks, all into 1. Ellen's comment was right about her. Mike's voice was so powerful, I actually can feel his words in my heart, excellent performance.
 
Kyra seems to think she's actually filled Paula's shoes, in the way she acts w/Simon.
After thinking it over I voted twice for Casey, and once for Siobhan. (I was torn).

What did everyone think about Paige Miles going home tonight?
She's recently had voice problems, yet she has a strong, powerful voice. I think she should have stayed. Just like Jennifer Hudson, or Daughtry going home early, she'll make something big out of herself.
It should have been between DiDi and Tim, and Tim should have went home. (JMO)

[Sheryl]

I didn't have a problem with Paige going home. She hasn't been good in weeks, in fact I was never really thrilled with her singing.
I couldn't understand a word she was singing the first week and then just just started sounded very pitchy.
She was just horrible this week.
I wish her well but I can't say I'm going to miss her.
 

[snady]

She was awful, as is three quarters of the contestants this season!

[Gina]

When she sang her final song at the end of the show, yes she was hoarse and pitchy. Yet she certainly can hit those notes. Plus, had an awesome voice when it's not so worn out. It would have been hard for her continuing on, because it's still early in the Idol hunt for the winner. I don't know if she could have taken it. I think she still needs time to conquer her voice so she can become well known. I do think eventually she'll be discovered and have her own hit cd.

Who do you think will go home tonight? I'm actually shifting and liking Casey James more then the other guys execept maybe for Lee. I thought Crystal was fantastic for the female and Didi, IMO should go home tonight, she and one of my favorite girls Siobhan were aweful but I think Siobhan will probably stay. This was her only bad week.

I am hoping it is a guy that goes as the girl's ranks are getting mighty thin. But I think siobhan was the worst so she is the one that probably should be sent home. Then Tim, then Didi.

[Bubu]

Siobhan may have had a bad night but the girl has been outstanding every week where as Didi has yet to sing in tune. I am hoping Didi goes. It sure won't be Tim as Vote for the Worst is pulling for him

[Sheryl]

I think Didi should go home. I know Siobhan didn't do very well last night but she's been pretty good right along.
I was really impressed with Lee last night and may be joining his band wagon.
Casey is ok but I wish he'd show more range. Everything is so even keel.
I thought Katie showed a lot more personality last night which is what she needs to do if she wants to stay in the competition.
I still think she by far has the best vocals.

[Princessrose]

Well, it didn't surprise me that Didi was int he bottom and the judges didn't save her.  Tim, is getting the teeney bopper votes!!!  He still reminds me of a young Bobby Sherman. 
 
Anyway it was great to see Rueben, and I was thrilled to see he and Clay are on concert together.  I called my girlfriend Linda immediately when I heard that and she knew it was me on the other end!  I've been googling both singers, and realized the rumors of a concert went back to last winter.  I could only find them performing at a casino in Verona, NY and the ticket prices were ridiculous!  For nosebleed tickets started at $167.  The highest prices went for $ 284.  So I guess I don't see them!!
 
My favorites are Crystal and Lee, but I am partial to little Aaron, he's so sweet, I just want to hug him.  He does have a good voice but he was sort of scratchy.  Didn't he say the week before he had tonsilitis? 

[Sheryl]

I didn't watch season two so I haven't heard much from Rueben but when he started singing, I thought his voice sounded a lot like Big Mike's and since I don't like the tone of Big Mike's voice, I FF through Rueben singing.
And yes, Aaron was sick last week.

[Puchie22]

It was about time that Didi went home. My DVR stopped recording when she was singing the last song but I knew the judges were not going to save her since she has been consistently getting worse. Her song to save her was bad and thank God I didn't get to hear it all.

I loved seeing Rueben again and he's lost so much weight. I enjoyed listening to him.
Yes DiDi went home, it wasn't a shock to me. Thought she would have gone home much earlier.
I like the sound of Lee's voice, raspy, rather low, yet he comes across self assured. I see him going a long way.
Kaite I was surprised was in the bottom three. I loved how she sang 'Chain of Fools'. Plus she looked great. I knew she'd stay, she has great pipes.
I was torn between Lee and Katie, so I called in 2 votes for Lee, and 1 for Katie.
