:heart:

"More"?
You think he's into girls?

Castro was the first in the "safe seats"...looks like they'll bring out Syesha and Brooke for the bottom two. I've never liked Syesha or Brooke, but Castro deserves to be in the bottom two (musically) this week.

guess the 12 y/o girls voted this week

I'm calling Brooke getting the boot

Paula looks like she has taken half a bottle of valium and/or demoral

She's a nice girl, but she could never be a successful recording artist, I don't think. She's nice and quaint with an uninspiring voice.

Didn't care who went this week so long as it wasn't David Cook. Brooke needed to go anyway. The only time she was any good was when she was doing her Carole King impersonation.

Hopefully Castro goes next week. Props to him though. He's gone further on Idol than anyone else that couldn't sing worth a damn.

At least you know she really cared...I'm not really much for crying, but did you see the girls in the audience? They probably didn't vote for her but they were bawling their eyes out too

too much bawling from her. get a grip girl. you are lucky to have made it that far.

It would have been out of character for her not to cry

she is kinda cracked. Alot of the people who try out for that show are. She was pretty bad and overdue to leave.

Harsh? How the heck was it harsh? This was harsh! She just got kicked off, which was long overdue.

Now if there was just some way for David A to get the boot, my season would be complete. The way Natasha Bedingfield ignored the other contestants, just so she could give little David a hug made me sick.

I think Brooke lasted this long based on personality alone. I don't think she measured up to the remaining contestants talent-wise, but her personality really made her stand out. Her exit this week was not much of a surprise to me.

I think that Castro and Mercado are the next in line to go. I'd be shocked if the two Davids were not in the final 2.

Agreed. I wanted to puke as well. More support for a kid with a whiny voice and zero personality.

I foresee Syesha gone next week... and then I'm up in the air about whether Castro can take down a David. I think if Cook has a really bad week, and Castro some how a great one, popularity contest taken into account I think it's possible Castro is in the final 2.

BTW, has Syesha set a record for being in the bottom 2/3 and not getting kicked off? I swear she's in the bottom every week. She barely made the Top 12 or 10 and now in the top 4. I actually think she's very talented and looks great. The judges seem hard on her from the very beginning though.

In order of losing should go:
Castro
Syesha
little David
big David

There is no way Castro makes it to the final 2. Even if both David's had a bad week, it just isn't going to happen.

Was anyone else annoyed by David A's little sigh of relief when Ryan told him he was safe? I mean come on! It's no question that he's in the final 2 with every single girl under 18 voting for him 30,000 times each. His little shy schoolboy act is OLD. Not to mention every single song he sings, sounds exactly the same. He's going to be the next Nickelback.

The little one can't possibly be gone soon enough.

Don't underestimate the very strong stoner vote for Castro.

This is assuming that they can find their phones AND remember the correct number to dial.

I loved Cook's rendition of Baba O'Reiley. I wanted more than the short version though!

Castro must be shot. that was the most vile, sacrilegious display that i have ever seen.

Dunno I think he just shat on Bob Dylon's grave as well.

Should be a safe assumption that he is going home, but it's not


Syesha was incredible, i liked one of Cook's song and even Archuletta was good in the first song

Agree with you on Baba O'Reilley, way too short

Uh, you mean Bob Dylan? BTW he's still alive... :confused:
