everyone had their good parts and their bad parts but i agree with steven tyler that skyler stood out tonight. she performed very well in my opinion. Holly NAILED it with the miley cyrus song :) i am not really sure what i think about Elise but the 2nd song ive never heard before and it was a bit hard to understand. Joshua was also good tonight. Phillip i think he could have done better but he was still good his 1st song better than the 2nd but i liked him. jessica was ok. i feel she could have picked diffrent songs but she sang those very very well. I think Elise may be in the bottom 3 again but many people seemed to like her but i am not sure. Jessica might because the 1st song didnt go so well but then again i think enough people like her to keep her there. phillip might but then again i think that he showed himself and the girls like him so he should be ok. i think skyler and joshua will be safe no matter what. i also think that holly will be safe after that song. she did very well on it and "redeemed her self" like the judges said. it is another hard choice this week and i cant even decide who i think will go home this week but it may be Elise but then again i have been saying that for weeks now... what do you think about the performances tonight? Who rose above all and you think has nothing to worry about tomorrow at the results for the bottom 3? who do you predict will be in the bottom 3? who do you think will be going home tomorrow night?

I was waiting for you to begin a discussion. I am glad that mylot has set up an American Idol interest for us fans. I think that they all did well tonight. I like them all. No one stands out in my opinion because I become fatigued during the entire two hours. My mind begins to wander. Some of the show gets boring like all the personal stuff. It probably is not boring to them but it is to me. I think that there is a possibility Jessica and Phillip might be in the bottom three. That has something to do with the judges feedback. I can remember that they were not impressed with Jessica's first song and I think that they also had some negative feedback for Phillip. But who knows. I can not predict the audience votes. I can not even attempt to predict who will go home tomorrow. Whoever it is will be a very talented person. I found it interesting that at the beginning of the show, something was said about the shocking elimination the previous week referring to Colton being sent home. I wonder who the judges would have preferred to have been sent home. Who did they expect to go home?

yea i always do lol i was just running a little bit later tonight haha i am also glad that there is an american idol intrest because there are a lot of fans out there and it is great to have people to discuss it with each week i also start getting a little bored so i play the computer like tonight i was working on mylot while watching it. i usually watch the talking part at the beginning then watch some of their performance and then go back to the computer until the next person unless someone is really good and they stand out a lot then i will watch the whole thing lol yes i agree about Jessica and Phillip. the judges input does influence the audiences votes i think but i guess that is normal and will happen no matter what. you are right they did not like Jessicas first song and Phillip they felt should have done another song. J-lo said he shouldnt have done that song right now that at this point he needs to "wow" them each time. they liked him but felt he needs to wait. J-lo really wants him to be at the top and win also she really likes him (she flirts with him on each show). yes from here on out no matter who goes home it willbe a very talented person and it will be very upsetting. just like last week with Colton but someone HAS to go home no matter what :( i missed the 1st part as my kids were being load lol and i was doing other things trying to get everyone settled so we could watch it. what did they say about it? honestly i think everyone expected Elise to go home and i think that she should have off of her previous performance but like you said we cant predict the votes of others....

Usually when the Wednesday show begins, they show the tape of the previous Thursday contestants getting the bad news at the end of the show. They show the last few minutes when the last two are getting to find out who goes home. They did not do it this week. Instead at the beginning of the show, they said something like "and after last week's shocking elimination of Colton" and then continued on. I do not remember the exact words. But they did not show the tape of Colton getting the bad news and his reaction.

wow i did not notice that. that is weird. i guess they were not happy with the dicission that the voters made last week but then again there were a lot of people upset and i do not undertstnad why that is if everyone liked him so much lol i guess not enough people voted for him. may be they thought he was safe enough...

I know you would do this discussion and i am anticipating as this is like my head start hahahaha as it is aired a bit delayed here on my part and i only see reruns because we have power failures... Well, Elise is not that strong of a singer actually... she might get booted off unless people will save her and how i wish JEssica won't be in the bottom three and i hope my co-Filipinos and AMericans too will support her as well it is obvious that the quality of her voice is great...

lol yea i always forget some people watch it later than me lol and yes i post a discussion every night after american idol haha i guess i have started liking it more and here at mylot i get to see what others think lol i have fun discussing it and hearing what everyone has to say about it. idk what ill watch weekly when it is over hahaha. i have also thought Elise is one of the weaker singers and i would have thought she would have gone home before now but since she is still there i am thinking she will go home but then again i have said that the past 3 weeks and she is still there so i am not very good at predicting that lol. i am not ready to see jessica go but she didnt do as good as she has done but it was a bad choice of songs she had to pick from. they just were not for her but she made the best of it that she could.

hicrazzydolphin I think Holly is a shoo in as she did very well above all the others.I have no idea who will go home so am not even going to try guessing at all.Holly and skyler and Joshua will stay thats all I am guessing at. lol l ol

hi yes i think that holly just saved her self for another week. she did really really well and it was the perfect song for her. this competition is so hard and with so much talent it really is hard to choose who is going home or who might win the whole thing. i also agree with you i believe that those 3 will be the top 3 and be safe but then again after what happened with Colton no one can really be sure how the votes will pan out....lol

Hello crazydolphin, damn! your fast or I was too busy looking and listening to their SONGS! I can't believe Jessica Sanchez sung that! the comments weren't that good coming from the judges, we all know QUEEN theme is hard but i know Jessica did it fine because the song is hard. Again, what happened two weeks ago? were not gonna let it happen again, unless she gets out voted for real this second time. to be honest the songs she sung last week wasn't in my taste at all. this performance was a lot better for me. though i kinda hated tyler for his remark, it's because they never believe her to be versatile and said to be only good with ballads, well, she nailed that song for me. specially the second one, she never should have experimented in the first place, that's what got her into trouble. they were all SURPRISINGLY GREAT!!!Phillip was kinda alright with me, Joshua sings it while he screams a little bit, that's fine. for skylar she did spectacular again and she chose the right songs.but despite of that all of our votes go to Jessica, some of my friends that i've convinced. But with that less praise coming from the judges Jessica could be in the bottom 3, hollie surprise me too and got a standing ovation. HARD TO PREDICT..we will know by tomorrow not a referral link. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-jKa64Pw8ob7iElRx8pTlA

That a week ago, it was a wake up call but it's harder NOW because others are ON THE RISE! i think hollie deserve a standing ovation. but i don't think it was a Standing Ovation for Joshua, i mean what was that?! their favorite though
• United States

yes i think it was a wake up call to everyone and showed them that no one is safe anymore they have to have perfect performances every week from now on if they plan on making it to the top. yes Hollie deserved it but Joshua no. he was ok but not good enough for a standing ovation but like you said "their favorite" i think another favorite is Phillip and posibly Skyler. i think Skyler also got a standing ovation but i could be wrong on that one.

it is a very hard to predict the out come of this and yes i was also woundering if we were going to see the same thing as the other week when Jessica was almost sent home and the judges saved her but this time there will be nothing they can do about it and that would just be sad. if she doesnt win it i still think that Jessica has a few more weeks in her before she goes home. All of them surprised me a little bit but my vote is still for Skyler and Phillip lol i was very surprised to see Hollie get a standing ovation she ahs come so far and she really deserved that :) i am excited for tomorrow to know what happens and who goes home.

I think it's almost impossible to predict because they're all so good. I loved Jessicas arrangement of DANCE WITH MY FATHER. I'm acquiring a taste for Phillip but he definitely isn't my favorite. Holly really did amazing things with the Miley Cyrus song, as you already mentioned. I voted.... THREE times for Elise. She's quirky and unique and I'd like to see more of her. She is who she is and she does what she does. I think it's unpredictable because it's now a popularity contest.

It's hard to predict now because they were all good but i think the judges didn't like Jessica to be in the rocky part of the queens, i don't like that the way they just stick her to ballads. well, if she gets voted out she can do more than just freaking ballads. i am sad that she is struggle for songs that are for judges taste or viewers taste. i didn't realize holly has been there twice in american idol, good luck to her too tomorrow.

it is a little unfair that they pick songs that make it very hard for the contestants to do good on and shine but that is the point of american idol ou should be able to adapt if you have to and it helps them to learn new ways of singing and appealing to everyone in the audience. i think i remember them saying she had been there a few years back but dont hold me to that i am not sure lol

yes they all are very good and i think that each of them can further their career if they want to rather they win american idol or not. I also liked the way Jessica arranged that. I have always kind of liked Phillip. there is just something about him i guess because he is not afraid to be up there and be himself each and every week. I honestly never thought that Holly would have made it this far but i am glad that she did. she deserves to be up there. im not sure she has what it takes to win the whole thing but she is learning a lot of nre things to better her self and actually she seems to be getting better these past few weeks. Elise is very diffrent and that is nice to see. i agree she also comes up on that stage with confidence no matter what and she knows hoe to be herself. i also agree with that. i think that now the votes are just popularity not really for the talent so it is very hard to know what ALL of america likes we jsut know what we like and what the people who comment like. there are a lot more voters out there than just us few.

so you are rooting for Jessica to win at the end?? i do hope that she is able to pick a better song next week (if she makes it to the next week not saying she will lose but at this point there is no telling who will stay and who will go.

Each artist is good in their own right. They have different personalities catering to different music genres. Based on their overall mass appeal, I would have to say that the bottom three performers are Holly, Elise and Joshua. Holly’s voice quality is just not enough to captivate the audience while Elise’s eccentricity just appeals to a selected few. Joshua, on the other hand lacks that charisma that could melt every girl’s heart, a character that is so evident in his male contender, Phillip.
