American Idol what was America thinking

First off IMO they used there save to early and now they lost a person who should have made it IMO to the finale 3 and had a good shot of winning. The show lost a person who could have won.

We are big IDOL watchers. Didn't start till season 2, but from then on haven't missed too many shows. I have no one I like this season. I thought all 6 were okay on Tuesday, but had no idea who would go. Both girls are a little strange to me, so I wasn't sorry to see Shiovan (sp) go last night. I should like Crystal because she's from Ohio, my home state, but do not.

JMHO

You spared me having to fast forward through the recording. I'm not surprised, but I'm sorry it went that way. She is stronger than any of the guys, and I think it would have made for a great finale if it came down to Siobhan and Crystal at the end.

My pick for the finale 3 was Siobhan, Crystal and Lee which IMO will win it.

My take on this years show and in particular this week's performances:

Given Crystal's weak performance on Tuesday and yet her escape from landing in the bottom three, indicates to me she has the largest fan base. IMO, when you get down to the last three contestants the show is pretty much of a popularity contest (just look at the final two contestants from last year). My guess is it will be Lee and Crystal in the final two.

I totally agree as she has the most talent of any of the others and should have won. This is why I have only watched this show off and on over the years. The best or most promise means nothing and probably why the winners very seldom make it in long run!

I passed up last couple years and just started watching last few weeks and it was obvious who was the best but in this show the hipe and call-ins are all that matter. Most of the winners have only lasted couple years singing at ball games or part of a group.

This show produces high ratings and money for the phone companies but does very little for show business. Seems most years one of the people sent home do better than the winners on this show.

I still don't care for any of them and didn't care for tonight's song choices either. Why do I watch? Guess I'm hooked on it.

Can't stand Crystal; girl looks like she needs a bath. Crystal seems more two dimensional than three dimensional. She seems, at least to me to have no depth.

Think the judges made a mistake saving Big Mike so early on.

I like Lee; he will be a final two and hopefully win since there was a huge mistake by the voting public a few weeks ago.

Siobhan will be fine. She will likely have a better career than any of those left standing. I have seen her perform live and she has a magical stage presence. The girl comes alive in front of an audience.

I am going with Lee and Crystal in the final 2 with Crystal winning it all. I think the final 4 are the correct choice.

This year is lost - maybe next year?

Lee has no range & close to zero personality. Whoever "wins" this year is most likely destined to be another Taylor Hicks or Ruben. Anyone heard from the "oh so close" beat box Blake recently? Or last years "winner"? How do these marginal talents get so far in this process?

The true talents go on to do good work no matter where they finish and the rest deservedly fade away quickly. Casey is the only one I enjoy watching perform but he's not the best singer by any stretch. He's the best performer this season with that incredible guitar work. Rock on!

I think this year's crop are among the worst ever. I wouldn't pay a dime to see any of them perform.
