Im glad that kris and adam are still here. we all know why they came up with the “judge’s save” because we all hated it when chris daughtry was sent home. congrats to everyone so far. best of luvk to kris and adam.

I think this seasons contestants are pretty strong right from the start. Even with jasmine and Jorge who got booted off last night…I could see those guys making hit songs. I was ok with last nights outcome but its just gonna get harder coz everyone has decent chops!

The blind contestant is terrible.

I cannot believe Jasmine was voted off. That girl is the only one who could sing.She has a beautiful voice. Why does screaming Kelley Clarkson get attention–she only sscreams.Jasmine should still be there.Paula should be off. She is disgusting in her dress and can’t talk.

I Don’t Like The Juge’s New Thing,That If A Contestent Is Voted Off,They Can “Save” Them. It Just Makes The Show Longer So They Can Get More Money. I’m Sorry But They Are Just Getting Selfish.

Alexis Grace for the win.

the show was as good as expected except for poor Kelly Clarkston … she looked like she hadn’t washed her hair in a week, her fingernails were bitten down to little nubs with no polish on them, she sang flat with a shake in her voice through the whole song, and did she think that outfit helped at all?? … I was shocked.

I like the new rule and does not make the show longer as they can only do this once and only once and the following week two will leave. The two that left this week I felt bad but did find they were not as good as the rest. I do think Scott does deserve to be there and is good, He is not the best but for sure is not the worst

thank u fuctupfred, not only is he terrible, he is creepy

i think that the best singers are still in the running

Creepy is right..put some shades on bro

Jasmine did not deserve to be voted out, Jorge did and so did Anoop or Michael for that matter.

That Justin Timberlake wannabe also needs to go.
Cleary the top 5 talents this year are/were Adam, Lil, Alexis, Danny and yes Jasmine.

Adam so far has to be the clear cut favorite to win it all. He is even better than David Cook was not only of his vocal range but his stage presence as well.
Time will tell if he can arrange songs as well as Cook did though.

This year is quite the lackluster year. So far, the best contestants are Alexis, Adam and Lil, and even those guys are not so good. I’m hoping they improve. I remember being extremely impressed with the talent and diverse musical tastes of the top 12 last year. I’m not sure where Idol found these contestants.

I’m so glad anoop is still in. I hope he makes it far! he deserves it

The new system, completely ruins the entire point of the show.

The person with the lowest votes needs to LEAVE. Period!

The judges overriding the public’s decision, is stupid. Nobody will vote, and fewer people will watch now.

Way to go, Idol producers!

i was sad to see jasmine go so early. i really liked her…sweet, cute, good voice…she wasn’t the best singer but definitely not the worst in the group..i think her voice will keep getting better..she’s young with great potential. i hope she keeps working hard to attain her goals. i hope she gets recruited for stuff…singing, acting, maybe modeling..i wish her all the best

My favorite in the competition is Megan Joy Corkerey. If she gets eliminated, I think Alexis Grace will win. She is so GOOD!

I wish Jasmine could stay I really like her but I was happy that Allison and Megan go through even thought Megan sang a kid song but it was for her little boy Allison is my favorite she rocks I love the sound of voice her song was great give in to me I’ve listened to it 100 times

Kanye West was horrible–they should have NEVER had him on there. The sad part is–I have that CD and my 9 year old son was even telling me that Knaye sounded horrible and nothing like his CD. WOW!!!! If he were judged–he woulda got the boot QUICK!!!

1 best 10 worst
alexis 3
allison 1
adam 4
danny 4
lil r 3
megan 2
anoop 6
kris 9
matt 5
michael 6
scott 2

They eliminated Jamar before the top 36 for these two losers. They have been given too many chances to redeem themselves.

I luv alison and the dude that said danny was # 4 he is the BEST!!!!!! He is gonna win it. i luvvvvvv him!

I am extremely unhappy about last night’s results. I cannot believe Jasmine Murray got the first boot last night. She could sing better than everyone else in the top 13. I DVR’d the performance show and viewed her performance again and again and I could not get enough of hearing her sing. I am okay with Jorge Núñez being voted off. America’s voting public is wrong about Jasmine but right about Jorge. The only reason why she was voted off is the lack of fanbase. What’s next for her? It is going to be a huge surprise, thus being in last place in the finalist will turn out to be a joke for her.

This competition is about singing Lil is good ,but Jasmine can truly sing. Why is she out of it so quick for one thing not enough african americans are voting or watching the show thus this is the result. That young lady is very talented and has a great voice well poised. WHY IS SHE GONE? Everyone sp[eak up that’s what we need to do speak up and speak out! One african American singer come on……..

SS. Dionne,

Are you implying this show is racist?

This is the show that gave the world Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and others.

Jasmine got the lowest votes, because she was boring as hell (and admittedly, very scary to look at. I’ve never seen a person whose eyes were so far apart.)

Jorge deserved to stay!!! He is one of best singers on the show! That blond girl with the tattoed arm annoys is so annoying!

GET REAL PEOPLE!
Kanye West is a poser…a ’studio’ artist. They can’t perform live, none of ‘them’ can.

That black girl with the eyes five feet apart CAN’T SING! THAT’S why she was voted off. I don’t care WHAT her color is. She was horrible. GET OVER IT.

Blind dude: HORRIBLE. He’s only getting sympathy votes. ADMIT IT.

That loser chick with the HORRIBLE arm tattoo. GOD! Can you wear ANYTHING that doesn’t show that MASSIVE mistake off?!? We are SICK of seeing it! Nobody pays attention to your voice over that horrible mess.

The gay dude with black hair and the dude who’s wife died are the best. Hands down.

Paula is gone after this season. She already said so. Her replacement Kara sucks. So, this will be the start of the end. Trus me.

I’m smarter than you.

American Idol has been a success since season 1. Although ratings have not been as high as the first couple of seasons, American Idol is still one of the most watched shows in the nation. Every season for the most part, the rules have been the same, with a few minor exceptions such as the number of men and women entering the top twelve have gone from equal numbers of men and women to an unbalanced distribution of the men and women.
This new rule that they input, I believe will have a big impact on the show. The new rule that states that each judge is allowed to save one contestant from elimination is unfair. Before the judges only controlled who goes into the top 36, while the viewers decide the rest of the competition. I believe that this new rule gives the judges too much power over the competition. The show is called “American Idol,” not “Judge’s Idol.”
From past seasons, the show has been a success because of the unexpected outcomes, where the contestants that the judges believe are good are voted off and the contestants that the judges believe suck continue on the competition. This is what makes this show great. It is not about what the judges think, because at the end the winner of American Idol will be recording music for the fans of the show, not the judges.
Not only will the judges have the power to save a contestant, but when they do save someone, the next week two contestants are eliminated. This not only affects the viewers, but it also affects the contestants themselves. It is unfair to the other contestants that have made it through the week because the next week, if someone was saved; their chances of being saved are cut in half.
This new rule should be taken out for the sake of the viewers and the contestants.

I’M SO UPSET THAT THEY DID’NT SAVE JORGE. THAT BOY CAN SING. AND WHAT WAS THE POINT OF GOING TO P.R . IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS ACCENT. THAT ROCKIN TOBIN CHICK COULD OF DEF WENT HOME. OR ANOOOP FOR THAT MATTER, I’M SO SAD TO SEE HIM GO ! THAT BOY HAS TALENT !

THAT ROCKIN rOBIN CHICK COULD OF DEF WENT HOME, OR ANOOOP FOR THAT MATTER, !! ANY WHO . . I FEEL JORGE HAD TOO MUCH TALENT TO BE SENT HOME SO EARLY IN THE SHOW !

I was very disappointed that Jorge was sent home. I think he had one of the best voices of them all. At least top 5. He should not have gone, but then who should have? I think they are all doing a good job this year and it’s going to be difficult to see any of them go. I don’t mind the new rule, it will only be a one time thing. I remember when Jennifer Hudson was sent home I was so disappointed because I picked her in our pool at work to be the winner that year.

I love Anoop, and my heart breaks for what is happening with him on Idol. If you are a fan or on the fence about Anoop please visit the AI forum / Idolforum to learn more about Anoop (or search him on the utube “clefhangers Anoop” for performances). On the forums you can read about Anoop, and the manipulation currently happening around Anoop by producers for ratings. As far as the ‘manipulation’ peice, please know that I hate sore loosers, and wouldn’t use a word like “manipulation” lightly. Its only after hours of reading articles from die hard AI critics/analysts, past contestants, and others that I come to this very conclusion with a clear conscience.

(cont from bottom) . I can say that I am now placing AI in the same category as Jerry Springer and such shows that have very little value for the integrity of its guests or viewers. It is my adoration for some of the contestants, and desire to support their success that I still watch the show. Again I’m not trying to rag on Idol or people who love Idol, its just the conclusion I had to come to after reading many of the articles, interviews from loyal veiwers, former contestants and those who have a better understanding of the show. If you haven’t yet please look into these claims yourselves and don’t be a victim who doesn’t realize that every move made on the show Is purposeful and intentional. Cheers

I was upset that Jorge was sent home even though he had the lowest number of votes. I was hoping he would get through until the end. I’m not a big fan of Alexis but she seems to have a big fan base on the show…

I wanted Ricky Brady to be in the top 13. He was one of the best male singers in that group. I was surprised to see him not even get into the top 13. Will they bring him back? I probably won’t watch anymore since Jorge is no longer there…

Now, I’m not trying to discourage “America’s” opinions but let me ask these questions.

Should Adam win when he can only sing on the high end of the keyboard? You wouldn’t vote for someone who could only sing a few low notes would you?

Why were the judges picking on jorge week-in week-out? They complain either about his accent or his song choice all but 1 week. Could they have not liked him personally?

The show is a singing competition so why does Meagen get away with suplementing her mediocre singing and song choices with her “quirkyness and style”?

And lastly how is it that the 16 year old girl is on there yet noone remembers her name?

My opinion is Danny wins hands-down and now that Jorge is gone everyone else is playing for second.

Jasmine sang beautiful and so did Jorge. American Idol need to give Jasmine a chance and I’m sure she would have proved herself that she is a great singer and each week would have improved much better. I love Joge and not because I am Puerto Rican, but the guy can sing. Wrong choices for both singers to be send home. The lady with the tatoo should be send home period! Jorge and Jasmine, please make records. I already missed you singing in the show.
