I'd give a vote or two to Janell only because she told Ryan that if she was Bikini Girl, she'd kiss him. LOL.

Tyler seems interesting but his "Home" was not really good.

Crystal Bowersox...I know these comments of mine never go over well, here, but I'm entitled to my opinion. Plus, I'm old. So take that into account. But I kind of think you owe it to other people to try to look a little neat. That's all. Like, iron something.

I LOVE Crystal! And I love (and totally agree with) what she said about mainstream music. I'm sure the AI stylist are going to do a good job on her. Anyway, I think she's my favorite girl for now. She's REAL you know. And her son is the cutest thing.

You know, I was no fan of Angela, but I thought her elimination was really emotional. The girl has been through tough times.

What aren't they showing us more of John Park? Maybe he's the real underdog.

LOL at your post of tweets, ross. I'm actually really excited about this season now. Lots of contestants I think I'll enjoy. And I don't mind most of them. I already dislike a few, but hey, I wasn't going to like them all!

They're all good, I just don't feel personally interested in any of them (except Lilly Scott, for some reason) right now.

Thaddeus, stop crying!! Stop! You big baby.

I don't like the gender split. I know that won't make it go away. But really. It's not about gender, it's about talent.

None of these guys are going to win this show, by the way. I may eat these words. But I just don't see it.

What did Jodie Foster, er, I mean, Crystal, say, anyway? I missed it because I was voting.

She said something like maintream music needs a little push right now, that it needs to go back to the roots of real music. She also was like "wow, Idol is watched by 3 million people... what 30 million? I'm nervous now!". LOL.

So what happened with Chris Golightly? He was shown on the stage in the top 24, but he was replaced by Tim Urban (he of the bad Come Back to Me cover). Not that I'm sad that "Orphan", as he was calling himself, didn't make it in the end.

I teared up when Andrew made it, he was sooo emotional.

Chris Golightly was shown in the Top 24? What's up with that? And Tim Urban took his place? Maybe they expect people not to notice this stuff...

You guys probably saw all these pictures before but I didn't. Saw some of them. Kradison and Krallison.

Well, Chris was originally in the spoilers. So he had made it. I guess he couldn't do it afterwards for whatever reason. He was then replaced with Tim, who hadn't made it in the first place. I think the media will have noticed, but it was probably a last minute decision.

Omg, they actually showed Adam telling that girl not to talk on her cell phone, on my local Fox news. They showed it prior to the report on the Top 24. I actually didn't like that clip (surprise! because I so often love what Adam does). I don't generally like his catty snark. It's not quite as hilarious as he seems to think it is. (By the way, both the anchors on the Fox affiliate were Kris fans last year. Yay.)

They're criticizing Ellen, now...I can't stand the guy who comments on AI, on this station. He's an idiot. He's an entertainment reporter from the Boston Metro magazine. Oh my God, he just called "I'm Yours" "that John Mayer song." He said, "You know, that John Mayer song, 'You done done me,' blah, blah, blah." Nothing new, he never gets anything right.

LOL. I'm Yours by John Mayer... as if the song didn't play for months on the radio!

From AI Now:

UPDATE: Season 7 "Idol" contestant Samantha Musa tweeted that Chris was disqualified yesterday because of a previous contract. She said, "Just got off the phone with Chris GoLightly. He was disqualified yesterday, after already being told he was in the top 24, over some bogus old contract. The contract expired, but they disqualified him for not telling them. He is talking to lawyers, but doubt they can do anything."

I really liked that quote too.

I'm not really invested in any of them yet. I liked Janell, Like Momma Sox, Andrew getting in was emotional, and they knew that - damn the show. So even though they are pushing him, I'm okay with it tonight. Angela's elimination broke my cold, dead, Idol weary heart. Like how can you not feel for that girl?

Katie annoys me for some reason. :)

Thaddeous crying also annoyed me and made me really glad he was cut. Then I remembered he's only 16 -- he's a kid. Just not ready for Idol emotionally this year.

So I liked Crystal, Janell, Tyler, Andrew, and possibly Jermaine but it's too early, they might crash and burn or sing something crappy. There's a few others that might be promising too. I need the Idol pressure cooker though to see who I really like.

I like different people. I'm especially not interested in Andrew, for some reason. He leaves me totally cold! I don't know why. And Crystal sounds an awful lot like Kelly Clarkson for someone who supposedly isn't mainstream. She looks like a Janis type, sounds much more Top 40 than she looks. I still like Lilly, also Alex, maybe Aaron, and possibly Tim.

That's true. Next week will be the real test. I think a poster on IDF is supposed to have song spoilers for next week and he's supposed to reveal them this weekend (yay!).

I bet we all end up with different favorites this year, lol. That would be pretty funny!

Oh, nooooooo! That would be funny.

Chances are we'll all end up liking the same people, though. We usually do!
