Surprised to see almost everyone did well!

Michael Johns closes the show, and it was the best performance of the night. Amazing.

Great stuff. Michael Johns is so back in contention.

Atta boy, Michael! Don't let anyone take your place.

so excited to hear Micheal did well!! I hope rickyor redlasso get the performances up soon!!!

Michael's performance

my heart is still pounding.. I seriously started crying when I heard that performance, and then cried again watching it and cried yet again hearing the judges!!! I so hope it's only because I'm PMSing

fjsldkfjlj MICHAEL. He is amazing, you guys, AMAZING.

I missed Brooke performance (I assume it was boring) and came in on David Cooks, not sad I missed either.

I thought Jcastro was good, actually.

**|so alive|** · 04-01-2008, 06:45 PM

I'm loving the Michael love

I thought Jason was cool, too

I actually liked Brooke and really didn't expect to, but something was odd and then Simon pointed it out... there was just not enough emotion in that performance.
I hope Kristy will be the one to leave [seriously, is she the new Sanjaya or something?!] because Ramiele was not too good tonight and I still want her to stay.

I actually liked Syesha - she wasnt as bad as the judges were saying and that note she held - my god it was amazing. I haven't been a fan of her but she has a powerful voice. I am so happy someone sang IWALY i was waiting for that all night.

OTH_Leyton_4eva · 04-01-2008, 06:52 PM

thank you! -off to watch-

They weren't that rough on her and Whitney's name's always bound to come up when you sing such a recognized song. I was pleasantly surprised by her.

Syesha's performance was vocally FANTASTIC. But contestants need to just learn that the judges will hardly hardly ever love a song that has been done by Celine Dione, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, etc. But I thought Syesha was one of the best of the night; the judges need to seriously separate performances & not immediately hate on contestants for picking a song by one of the select!bestlegends ever.

Michael was GREAT tonight. And I thought Brooke was really good, partly because I looove the song "Jolene."

And David C. truly showed his range tonight. It was amazing.

***Enigma*** · 04-01-2008, 07:38 PM

Michael Johns and David Cook's performances were awesome tonight.

My faves of the night.

I thought Sayesha did well. I just really don't like her much for some reason.

I actually liked Kristy tonight. Sure she shouldn't still be here, but she has improved over the weeks.

It was a good show tonight. No one did bad. It will be interesting to see who leaves.

I like Rami but she was probably the weakest tonight IMO.

OTH_Leyton_4eva · 04-01-2008, 07:50 PM

just watched all the performances, did well, not one awful performance
Tonight was really Good!! everyone

Best for the Guys - Micheal!
Best for the Girls - Carly (it was hard to choose between her & Syesha)
Overall Best - Micheal! && he got the pimp spot! about time!! Seriously that was one of the best performances on AI 7...

who should be in Bottom 3 - Kristy , Jason & Ramiele
Who will be - Kristy, Syesha, Ramiele

Who should go home - Kristy (she was better than she has been tonight, but overall she has been the weakest and should go home

**crazycait714** · 04-01-2008, 08:05 PM

Michael was fantastic! It was so good.

I enjoyed my man Jason Castro as usual. Hope he isn't in the bottom 3 tomorrow.
