I hope it's ok I started this, the episode will air in 30 minutes...

Anyway, this week's it's all about inspiration and the Top 8 will sing songs that inspire them.

Yeah, I was just about to start this. Thanks.

Michael went first [

] but after reading this my heart just dropped. I feel like crying and dying, I don't know.

Well, I think we may be looking at the first shock elimination of the season. Let’s see how the show develops.

BTW I'm listening to it now and it's absolutely beautiful... I don't get it

I don't get it at all!!!

Oops, typed too soon. Jason Castro is singing #3 and is in grave danger tonight, so Michael might be safish…

rickey.org and he also said this:

OMG, the judges loved it! The pimping has begun! Is this it? Is Kristy Lee Cook safe for one more week?

Say it isn't so!!! If Michael goes before Kristy.. if he goes period, I'd die... I'll lose any interest in this show.
However, I read Syesha did bad.

Lacey from SYTYCD is there... behind Simon!

~Carla~ · 04-08-2008, 05:38 PM

If he goes before Kristy I'll stop watch it. Honestly!

Hey, since you seem to be the only one around who can actually see the show and not look for it on youtube, would you mind telling me what the judges said about Michael? Not word in word of course, just the general idea.. thanks!

***Enigma*** · 04-08-2008, 05:46 PM

Randy and Simon didn't love it. Said something about it being wanna be rockerish. They prefer when he does the more soul stuff. Be himself not just imitate. You get the gist.

I love Michael, but I didn't love it tonight.

Love David Cook but didn't love it tonight.

I liked Kristy and Jason. Sayesha did well, but she should have known it would be compared to Fantasia.

It should be Kristy to go this week (as almost every other week) but she has chosen the right songs for herself these past few weeks so who knows.

David A. was pretty good. Didn't love Brooke.

**|so alive|** · 04-08-2008, 05:59 PM

Yeah, thanks you two I already found a youtube video

But I disagree, Simon did like it, he though it was "a very good performance" just didn't like it as much as last week, and me neither. But I still think Michael did really good tonight. Yes I'm biased and yes I love this song, but still.

Didn't like Jason's performance but I understand it was considered to be good.

***Enigma*** · 04-08-2008, 06:02 PM

I didn't mean dislike it totally...........just didn't rave about it.......he half way agreed with Randy and half way didn't.

You know I love Michael, but it wasn't his strongest by any means. I didn't dislike it but it's hard when comparing to it a few stellar performances he has had recently. I can't imagine him going home yet though. I'd be so ticked.

Jason always sounds the same to me. But that's his style/thing. I liked it more than last week.

~Carla~ · 04-08-2008, 06:03 PM

yeah, Simon liked it...I have to say I'm kinda relief lol
Simon likes Michael

I honestly thought it was a good performance but I agree with Simon I like when he's more soul than rocker.

**|so alive|** · 04-08-2008, 06:05 PM

Simon looooves Michael. That's why he's always being so nice to him even when he's not falling off his chair. He's careful with him 'cause he knows whatever he says - America votes.
He "slightly" agreed with Randy

I'm sorry, I get obsessive when it comes to Michael

I actually think this was his best after last week. I liked it more than the Queen medley.

Quote:

David Archuleta plays the piano. This performance was brilliant. David should write a book: “How to win American Idol”.

Seriously???
I didn't like it.
I didn't like how he changed the keys, I didn't like those notes, NO.
I can't believe this kid is gonna win this...
