tonight was motown night! complete with the funk brothers as the band and their most prolific songwriters ashford and simpson.

overall, i loved tonight. good energy, lots of fun.

Camille: i was only listening to her as i was bustling in the kitchen cooking. from what i heard, she's a LOT better than she was last week but nowhere good enough.

John peter lewis: man... you can't help but love the guy but vocally i don't think he's strong enough.

latoya london: she's still one of my favorites. i can do without the extensions, but she always sounds awesome.

amy adams: she started awesome, but ended kinda weak. she still had a good performance.

jennifer hudson: i didn't like it. i thought it was a bit over the top and when she sings she does not look like she's enjoying herself.

john stevens: man. i used to love that song. sigh. he just can't sing past frank sinatra...

jasmine trias: she started semi weak but she ended strong. i love jasmine. she's another one of my favorites. she rebounded well from last week's travesty.

diana degarmo: WHAT A VOICE. i love her voice also. these little young girls are sooooo good but i think jasmine relates to an audience so much better than diana.

fantasia barrino: i loved how she worked the band. that's what a star does, like simon said. i love how she sings, although i can see why her sound can be grating.

george huff: I LOVE GEORGE! GEORGE RULES! he issoooooooo awesome. simon called him the backline of the temptations, and he brings out the temptations "ain't too proud to beg" he is undeniably the best of the guys.

my bottom three, based on performance, would be camille, john stevens, and john peter lewis.

the actual bottom three would be camille, amy, and maybe john stevens...

I'm glad John Stevens sucked it up, that way we get more Camille.

George and Fantasia ruled this week, their voices sound great with Motown.

John Stevens just sucked ass. I mean, he has a nice voice and all, but he's as exciting as a fvcking piece of wood. Camille wasn't half bad tonight but I don't see her pulling through and being an actual competitor. John Peter does nothing for me - his voice is as Randy would say, "aiiiiight" at best.

I love Jasmine though :)

Yeah, I think Frank Sinatra need to get the boot this week.
Just want to see Camile for another week or so......
After 3 weeks, I have to say the top 3s are Fantasia, George and Latoya.
If Fantasia didn't have that arrogant personailty she would easily win this competion.
Like to see Jasmine do well though.

I agree but Fantasia (if I'm thinking of the right person) is just downright ugly....*shudders*....I think she has an amazing voice but once it gets down to the final few and choices have to be made, she'll be the one to get the boot.

Even though Camille doesn't win AI she will have a recording contract somewhere else.

Am I the only one that cringes when I hear Jennifer Hudson sing or talk?

Top 3 of MoTown: George, Fantasia, Jasmine

Bottom 3: John Stevens, Jennifer Hudson, Amy Adams

If both John Stevens or Jennifer Hudson survives AI officially sucks

i can see john stevens surviving because so many people are already in love with him. i don't know how jennifer hudson survives because i can't stand her but people are worse than her... last year kim locke last year went on foreverrrr and i couldn't stand that.

Did you guys see John? He looks like Data from Star Trek with all that makeup on.

Amy Adams got booted this week. No, I did not say John Stevens, I said Amy Adams. The shoe-in for getting the boot this week was Stevens. Anyone who thinks he's got more talent than Amy is high. My bottom three... (in this order) John Stevens, Jon Peter Lewis, and Camile Velasco.

John Stevens is a boring one trick pony. His performance was *by far* the worst of the week.

Jon Peter Lewis is a dork. He can't sing and he can't dance. The good thing is he has no chance of making the top 3 let alone winning.

Camile is gorgeous but her performance this week wasn't very good and last week was terrible. This week she sounded like she was being drowned out by the band and backing vocals. Maybe her mic was too low?

My favorite performances of the week were (in this order) LaToya London, Jasmine Trias, Amy Adams, George Huff, and Jennifer Hudson. I do not like the style or voice of Fantasia and Diana's song choice - well I hate that song (thanks Mick and David).

Of course, that's just my opinion. I guess I was wrong because Amy got booted and boring one trick pony and dork are still on. Oh well...

Mr. Stevens needs to go. It's all a sham until he does.

On another note... I'm glad Camille wasn't bottom 3 material this week. Yay for her.

I think the show is rigged to send a woman to the top this time. Probably won't be a white woman. (is there any left?)Oh yeah... what's her name.... the one with the pony tail.... made her look horrid.

John Stevens was visibly shocked not to be in the bottom three. I think he was 100% prepared to leave tonight. The high school age viewers must be voting strong for this guy.

I can't see anyone supporting John unless they're at least metrosexual or high school girls.

No, you aren't. She's like the loud, ugly one in the gospel choir who purposely sings above the rest of the group on every song. It's really obnoxious how she oversings every song, it's like she's a student auditioning for the lead role in the local high school production of a musical. She'll be the next one to go next week. She's already been in the bottom three twice. Third strike and she's out. Camille will be the next after that, then the Bobsy twins (the two Johns). George will be next, leaving the top four as LaToya, Fantasia, Jasmine, and Diana.

And yes, I actually think that Diana will last longer than Jasmine. They're both extremely good, and Jasmine gets the nod for better looks and consistency, but when she's in good form Diana is better.
