    Siobahn was terrible. I was thinking she was one of the top three, but now I don't know. I thought the performances were better this week. I thought Andrew was very good. Didi and Tim should go next.

    sadly, i missed another AI show. But hey, being at the Rockets' game comes first.

    Well...this is what I've gathered from everyone's critiques from the web.

    Tim and Didi were the worst. I don't think Tim is leaving because he's the new Sanjaya. Didi has such a beautiful voice but she's so lost. She doesn't even know what to do.

    I knew Andrew would do better this week. pop/R&B is a bit more his niche.

    anyway...I'll try and watch some of their performances online.

    Siobahn was worse than Tim for sure. To me, worse than Didi by a hair...but that one's close. Don't think she should leave.. just saying I'm surprised by the critiques you read wherever that weren't knocking Siobahn to the bottom.

    Tim will last because he's supported by votefortheworst.. along with his little girl groupies and all. But without VFTW, i think he'd have been gone a long time ago

    What do you expect. There are a bunch of stupid teenage girls. American Idol voting system is a joke.

    I guess VFTW has grown over the years. Tim...you're lucky you're a good looking guy!

    Is Pete Chilcut drenched in tears?

    He's this season's Sanjaya. There are people who are purposely voting for the worst.

    I don't usually watch the results show, but I saw some of it tonight. It was just awful.

    Usher? this guy sucks. Just a bunch of people jumping around the stage, and they don't really sing. I feel sorry for the people who think this stuff is music.

    You may notice that the contestants sing songs mainly from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. At time in music history when people would actually sing real songs.

    a) he's an entertainer as much as a singer. incredible dancer on stage...and usually i don't care for that stuff

    b) the dude has talent. listen to some of his music. he can sing, too... I agree, that song he had today wasn't a great example of singing. But he certainly can and has done it.. many times over his career

    c) The contestants have sang with the themes so far. Next week when they sing McCartney and Lennon songs are you going to say it's because it was real music?

    yeah, that is the big downside. I was hoping she stayed purely for that reason (cause I thought she or Tim deserved equally to go based on the last 2 weeks only)

    She probably would have been gone after 1 more week if not this one, though..

    Yes I am. Lennon and McCartney songs are real songs that you can sing to. I'm tired of seeing some guy on stage, talking into a microphone with 20 dancers running all over the place. When I go see a musical performance, I want to see people standing on the stage, playing instruments and singing.

    I find it stupid that Usher was supposed to be a mentor to the contestants this week, but then shows zero vocal talent in his performance. He can dance, I agree with that. Maybe he should be on dancing with the stars, instead of a show that is supposed to be a singing competition.

    This video really makes me love this girl even more. I wasn't a big fan of her but after watching a few videos about her and her family, she's a pretty fantastic down to earth person.

    I like how you ignored the part where I said how he's showed his vocal talent throughout his entire career.

    Either way, he was a mentor as someone who has been in the industry, and if you noticed, a lot of what he thought he could impart to these people was on their stage presence, their connection with the audience, and other things that are harder to see than just vocals. I think it was a great idea to have someone mentor who can give more advice than any vocal coach.

    Almost everyone last night did such a good job.

    My favorite was probably Casey. It was so emotional, I seriously thought he was going to start crying haha

    Big Mike, wow! I'm not a big fan of his but last night was for me, his best performance. it was so good!

    Lee had some pitch problems but I loved the ending. It was very entertaining

    Crystal did her thing like always.

    Siobhan's to me, apart from Aaron, was the worst. She has a beautiful voice but i felt no emotional connection to the song.

    Andrew screwed up by adding the marching band sound to his song. I loved that jazzy feel he did during the break down. why couldn't all of it have sounded similar to that.

    Katie had her best performance last night. good for her.

    Tim, his best performance. It was good. not great.

    Bottom 3: Aaron, Andrew, Tim

    Either Tim or Andrew. I'm leaning towards Tim because finally, everyone else did a good job.
