I really liked the girl that sang last.

also, time for the drama-queen-boy to go home.

Man, Paully, you look just like Val Kilmer!

But he was pretty gracious when he lost out. He had started to grow on me. He's got a big heart and is transparent.

I was surprised at how moved I was by Tatiana's tears and gratefulness for being chosen for the wildcard round. She gets on my nerves, but you have to give her props for her apparently genuine passion.

Scott MacIntyre's singing--Scott's the blind guy--reminds me of Keith Green. Keith was my favorite Christian artist while he was around.

I thought it was just more drama. I knew they would bring her back, but I am so over her.

I enjoyed him as well. I can't get "Mandolin Rain" out of my mind. And I hate that song. But I liked his performance of it.

So, by my count there are 6 guys and 3 girls in the final 12 so far. If they keep it even as they have in the past, the 3 wild cards will be all girls. It's a moot point for the guys. Anyone heard whether this will be the case, or will they allow an imbalanced gender representation?

I get the impression they are NOT working to keep it even this time.

I hope you're right because Ricky Braddy and Von Smith are better than the remaining women, in my opinion.

Ricky even had some fashion sense last night. Maybe that is a sign that his personality is a changing.

I hear you. That woman could make millions by being a drain on the collective human psyche. She could take down the global economy with a single sob. She is a black hole to the galaxy of erstwhile sympathy. The pooled talents of a thousand emotionally healthy men could not manage her. She shatters the ceiling of high maintenance and recasts romance as horror. Were she Eve, the Bible would have ended at the first chapter, and much differently, for the fall would have been an all out run early on the sixth day.

She's gotten me the closest I've been to writing poetry in years.

The only question I have is, Who was that smile behind Simon Cowell's right shoulder?

And one thing to say: I love to see how parents love their children so much and how children are enabled by it to live full, healthy lives. The greatest part about American Idol is getting glimpses into these family bonds.

How 'bout them Idols tonight! Awesome singing. Anoop redeemed himself wonderfully. Adam was out-o-the-park! Megan Joy was the epitome of beauty and strength. Danny and Matt were incredible. A great group of people.

Adam was out of something last night, but I wouldn't say "out of the park" maybe out of his mind, or out of touch with reality, but that was awful!

I agree on the rest were pretty good, but I was disappointed in Danny, that wasn't his best performance, and that song is just WAY over done already, not a good choice for him.

I agree with Simon, country night stinks. I would be just fine if they did away with this genre in the competition.

While I didnt like the arrangement Adam did, he still has an amazing range. Reminds me of the 80's rock. He can get up there.

It was out there. Wow, to me it was electrifying. Bold, exotic, out of the box. Did you sense the electricity building in the audience? Ring of fire. The enchantment of hell. Matchless. Brilliant. Ablaze. Scandalous.

Whom do you pick to go tonight? I'm sort of thinking Scott, the blind guy. I like him, but he's not mixing it up. Every song sounds like the last one.

Adam looked like a drag queen, and the arrangement was just weird.
