I didn't think anyone was particularly awful tonight, but no one was particularly good, either.

I don't know why the judges went so crazy over Joshua Ledet. That performance wasn't nearly as good as they made it out to be. He wasn't bad, but that was far from the best performance in the history of the show.

I don't agree with Jennifer about it being the best she's seen on AI, but I did think Joshua was really good. I also like Phillip, Hollie, Elise, and Colton.

I don't think Jessica was very good. Not a good song choice for her.

Phillip & Colton the best. Hollie & Joshua were nowhere near as good as the judges said they were. Liked Erika kinda. Liked Jessica, but probably wrong song for her. Elise much, much better this week. Going home either Shannon or Hee Jun.

I hope it's Shannon. She gives me Carrie Prejean vibes.

The sooner she goes the better.

What happened with the dude who got booted? I'm about 3 minutes in, it's Phillip who I'm biased against and who apparently is diseased which probably puts him over the top. And I think I saw Will I Am, who tried to kill music, imho. So I just can't do it. I'll find the performances online maybe.

But I'm curious...

^^^ I don't know if you've already seen it or not, but here's a clip of it:



The way they were hyping it up on Twitter, I thought they were going to need security guards to drag him out or something. :lol:

Not going to lie -- I was surprised when I heard about Jermaine's criminal past. Why is it that all the contestants I think are good guys/sweet turn out to be so shady? LOL (Fortunately, I'm not that easily fooled in real life, though. ;) )

IDK about his asshole-ish behavior. My opinion of him is only based on what I've seen of him from the Hollywood/Vegas round. I haven't exactly been watching the live shows... just watching the performances on YouTube.

Thoughts on tonight's show:

Will.i.am mentoring is a joke.

It was surprising to see Jessica choose an upbeat song. While watching her Whitney performance earlier today, I was afraid she was going to go the 'Pia route' and just stick with ballads. I actually found her performance kind of... refreshing. It's good to know that she can mix things up when she wants to.

I don't know how to feel about Deandre. There's something about him I like, but sometimes, I also think he's lame. It was strange to see him all cleaned up and singing a ballad. But I liked his performance, so I guess he pulled it off.

Erika is one of my favorites! She's so underrated compared to Hollie and Jessica. I would have preferred something more gritty, but whatevs. I still very much enjoyed her performance.

Colton sometimes comes off as "wannabe rockstar" (think Pete Wentz).

Doesn't Skylar look like Reba Mcentire + Miranda Lambert? She's a badass country girl.

My mom loves the song that Joshua sang, and she thought the performance wasn't good. I personally didn't care for it.

LOVE Hollie!

I think Heejun will go home, but I'd rather have Shannon leave.

Thanks for the clip! That was underwhelming. To lie about having warrants for lying to the police is kind of fun. I also enjoyed the story about the fall because it was very Judge Judy.

Glad he went, though. That rehearsal footage of a song I love from childhood was pretty bad.

Watched some clips of the singing online. Nobody really grabbed me. Liked Elise or whoever it was that sang "Let's Stay Together" until the tempo change. "When a Man Loves a Woman" was well sung but I didn't really feel it. Can't really remember anyone else.

Holly, Joshua, and Philip :wub: I was disappointed by Heejun and Jessica tonight.

What's so great about Elise's voice? She was MUCH better than last week but I still thought she sounded utterly awful most of the time. Her voice and especially her attitude reminds me of Haley Reinhart's from last season; No wonder I can't stand her!

Will.I.Am was annoying!

I know many love Hollie, but everytime I see her she seems so scared that she might break apart if you go "boo". And how is Hee Jun still around. I like Erika, but I know she isn't going to go far.

As for the stuff with Jermaine...why is there this part of me that thinks it is all staged? For someone with "anger issues", he sure seemed pretty calm. I just find it hard to believe that the Idol machine didn't find this information earlier. I have no doubt the warrants are there, I just think they sat on it a lot longer to pull it out when they needed it. Wouldn't be surprised that is why all of a sudden there was a 13th guy coming back.

^ My face watching DAYS

LOL at Elise being like Haley...those two couldn't be any different personality wise.

My Ranks from best to worst:

1.) Skylar
2.) Colton
3.) Hollie
4.) Elise
5.) Phillip
6.) Joshua
7.) Jessica
8.) Erika
9.) Deandre
10.) Heejun
11.) Shannon (wow..TERRIBLE...AGAIN!! This girl SUCKS!)

Glad Jermaine was booted...couldn't STAND his voice. LOL at him eveb beingi n the Top 13 to begin with, what a joke.

So far though, this crop of singers are not entertaining as much as last years.

It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

Shannon, Elise, and Erika were in the bottom 3. Elise is safe now, so it's between Shannon and Erika. Though, I'll be surprised if anyone actually does go home this week, since Jermaine's nationally broadcasted humiliation and dismissal just last night.

Erika is safe and going on the AI tour.

Shannon now has to sing for her life. She chose the Mariah Carey tune she did last night. One Sweet Day...not liking it at all. :-/

Hollie Philip and Jessica are definitely my favorites.

Skylar? OMG. She is soooo annoying.

I won't miss Jermaine. I like HeJuun, but I don't think he'll last very long.

Well duh. The judges wouldn't be stupid enough to use their save on her this early in the competition...coughPiacough...Bye Shannon.

I agree King. Though, I feel a little bad for Jermaine being humiliated like that, he wouldn't have made it too much further anyway. I agree about Skylar, great voice sometimes, but very annoying. I like Heejun also but it's not likely he'll even make it to the Top 8. At least he gets to go on the tour though. :)

So far I really have no favorites at all this season.

The theme song from the year you were born felt like song remade in the year you were born. That was quite bothersome.

Yeah, for some reason, Skyler drives me crazy!

Taping Jermaine's exit seemed...weird. Hate Nigel!

I'm so glad America voted Elise into the bottom three AGAIN! I hope it keeps happening until she's finally booted. I did NOT understand the judges praise for her. She is so lackluster and all over the plac

It was time for Shannon to go. Sad because I thought she was really strong during Hollywood week but then she just fell apart.
