    Utah may have the hated Jazz, but some serious talent there.

    And all the Danny Gokey youtubes have been removed.....hmmmmmmm

    But DD is on the case !!! You can still see it here.

    If you can watch that without tearing up you are WAY tougher than me.

    I also like this girl and her original song.

    My choice to win it from his first appearance on the show is still looking pretty solid.. Danny is still in it, and the judges are big fans (so I think he can even survive a so-so showing if it should happen)

    can't figure out why judges like Lenesha Young but still cut her. Paula seemed enjoyed her song so much, but why???
    And Michael Castro...without givin' any reason, he's out. But the queen of drama still got into top36.

    What the hell........ :( :(

    Two drama queens on the show need to be slapped... repeatedly.



    To keep from sounding misogynistic, one is a male and one is female; they can slap each other for an hour, just as long as it gets done.

    there seems to be several of those "theatrical" types on the show this year. hopefully, they'll weed them out on the next show.

    oh, and the blind guy can't sing.

    watching it now.....and I agree, the blind guy is not that great of a singer, he is on for his story.

    This is a TV show...they have to put some interesting people on there.

    yeah, need to get rid of the blind guy.. and lenesha like you said.. not to worry, those will be cut when they narrow it down to 36 tomorrow without another performance. They just wanted to give a few people false hope maybe..

    (can't believe they let people 'live' who forgot lyrics. haven't they always knocked people out for it? at least 95% of the time? Plus Simon said so when this hollywood round started, too.)

    Is the hot chick with the sleeve still on the show? They haven't showed her in the last few episodes.

    There is no way Tatiana makes it to the final show, she barely made it through last night based upon numbers of guys and girls.

    36 this year though is a lot, they must have extended the show a couple of weeks this year.

    Simon is doing that because it is a TV show, they will put the best singers and entertainers on the show to keep it interesting.

    I agree, but the wife and I love her and "Norman Gentle".. Between Norman's onstage performances and Tatiana offstage performances there is some serious TV entertainment value in the two of them IMO..

    Danny Gokey FTW!

    Love Gokey, but think his voice is just good, not great.....

    Tatiana is just flat out annoying.

    Like Norman though, but you would think the show would be worried about an other Sanjaya type of guy on there.

    wow, def. think Gokey's voice is great. Whose voice do you think is better on the show so far? The dueling piano guy seems really good.. as does the guy who went 1st yesterday with the punk-ish hair. I think Anoop is just good, not as great as some seem to think..

    Tatayana is ANNOYING!

    My choices for the win:

    Danny Gokey
    The Dueling piano guy...Matt Giraud



    Seriously, how can you not like Gokey and his story, though.....

    Anoop is pretty good.

    I think people are enamored with the whole, "I can't believe THAT voice is coming out of THAT person!" thing.

    Anoop is easily my favorite, but not from anything he has done. Check out his acapella group on youtube: UNC Clef Hangers.

    Here's a couple of vids:

    Kid can SING. There's a ton more videos, too.

    On another note, I can't believe they cut Jamar (Danny's friend). He seems like he is everything the show could be looking for, talented, unique, friendly. I think the show definitely messed up with that one.

    i think the AI producers screwed themselves this year.

    every year there is a large contingent of internet sites conspiring to back some loser as far as they can to ruin the show.

    this year, they have quite a number of contestants to choose from.
