well I bet those three are pretty happy I'm not a judge !

I'm a little surprised that KaCheesey got the boot as he is a pretty good singer, but I can see why he isn't on the top of the popularity list. 15,000,000 13 year old girls will vote for Jason with the Hair thing going on. He stinks....I still think the gal with the tattoo arm is probably the best singer but the tattoo will bite her in the butt at the end. My foolish prediction is the final 3 will be the the David Rocker guy,with the combed forward hair, the young kid David and Brookie. If Brook gives a performance aka: Clarkson/Underwood, if she can, she will take home the wall plaque. ( my opinion )

I picked either Jason, although I called him Justin, or Chekieze to go home this week. I was surprised at the the "yes" girl (Why can't they have normal names?) being in the bottom two. I like Brooke alot but I don't know that she will win it all. I am still looking for more from Christy as well but I don't think she will win it either.

I think the top three SHOULD be David A, David Cook and Carly.

I really like Shiesha, and was surprised she was in the bottom three last night.

I thought those 3 guys did an amazing job last night.
Carly did too! :)

I think Brook, Shiyesha & possibly Jason didn't get enough votes.
Go Dolly!

I think Kristy will be next - and then Brook - and then Shiesha and Jason. (He has quite a few of the young girls vote.)

Kristy looked absolutely beautiful!! Very classy! and sang well,too.

I loved what Brooke said when Ryan Secrest commented that she seemed upset. Also classy!

How about Dolly's great song, Jesus and Gravity!!! Loved it!

Michael Johns was on-fire - made my blood pressure go up! :oops:

David A - How precious can a young man be???? I want to see him win!!!

Donna, I agree with everything you said except the blood pressure thing. But the order of dismissals is just what I would say.

Now back to that blood pressure thing, he did nothing for me but ____________ sure did!

Donna, Dolly was amazing on Idol last night. I think Kristy was beautiful! I have no idea who will win, but I'm proud for whoever wins and whoever goes home. This year's competition is so tough and there's a lot of close competition.

IMHO..Brook seems to be a very pleasant, confident person as well as being able to handle the vocals and the instruments that she plays.

Her maturity may be what helps her if she is to win..(Of course it doesn't hurt that she hails from Mesa, just down the road.) :\

You may be right Theresa. Although Kristy really knocked it out of the park last night in my opinion. It is going to be so difficult from here on out since they are all so talented.

. . . just when we thought we had it all figured out!!! What a shocker!!

Simon can claim it was the "wrong song" all he wants.

But,I think fans develop a false sense of security for their favorites - and then not take the time to cast their votes - assuming one vote won't make a difference to someone who hasn't been in the bottom 3. (Like me! I haven't casted a vote in the last three weeks.)

I hated to see Michael go; but, he's no-doubt headed to stardom.

I think Michael Johns would bring a different vocal to country! Different is a good thing. We'll be hearing alot from him. :)
