Im through like 5 singers and they have all been awful

Brett was VFTW pick and its not a surprise. He was pretty awful and hilarious

Was Paul trying to do a perfect impression of Rod Stewart on stage or is that just how he performs? I think its just how he is and it was funny.

I dont love him, but he will go very far

James Durbin, Jacob Lusk, and Casey Abrams are probably the 3 best guys...but Paul McDonald is my favorite.

Missed the second half of the girls...but I really only liked Karen Rodriguez

Contestant Pia Toscano, from Howard Beach, has received acclaim for singing the National Anthem before Mets games.

2nd half of the girls was much better than the first half. I actually didnt like Karen Rodriguez

My top 5 guys(no order): Jacob, Casey, Paul, James, Scotty

My top 5 girls(no order): Pia, Thia, Lauren Alaina.....(big gap)......Lauren and Ashton probably (maybe Kendra)

Good riddance, Ashthon was terrible

I think the favorites this year are Durbin,Toscano,McCreery.

Last night was awful. Only 4 out of 12 were good ..

James,Pia(albeit getting boring),Scotty and Stefano

I know this thread is dead, but whatever. Pia getting sent home tonight has really pissed me off.

This is what happens when the judges fawn over every single performance and there is no Simon to set the record straight. Also, this is what happens when you save someone who isn't good enough to win the competition.

I also wonder how the online voting has affected the competition this year. I'd love to see a breakdown of phone/text and online voting and see how each contestant measured in each category. I guarantee the online voting is allowing tweenage girls (those most likely in the viewing audience to take advantage of the feature) to stuff the ballot box for their favorite guy, explaining why this competition has gone from 7 girls, 6 guys to 2 girls, 6 guys.

Anyway, 5 months til Simon's X Factor debuts.

Was talking with Stache about this on AIM. Both things you said are part of the reasons Pia is gone, and its BS.

There were 27 critiques last night given, ZERO were negative. That would never fly with Simon on the panel.

Ever since text votes have been allowed, a female hasnt had a chance. The teenyboppers text away for all the guys, and the girls, especially the good looking ones like Pia, are screwed. If you look at dialidol, which only tracks the phone calls, Pia wasnt even in danger of being in the bottom 3, so it was all the text/online votes, which is a shame.

Im with you, cant wait for XFactor
