I've been watching and following "American Idol" on Fox network and it's down to nine contestants, one of which is "Carrie Underwood", who has perfect pitch, a crystal clear voice, & by far is the best singer of all. However, the following three contestants are great too, Bo Bice and Anware, and Constatine. By the way Carrie Underwood is from Oklahoma, which is where I was born and raised, so it would be special if she won. I hope it's OK to post this thread and have a discussion as to whom we all like. On by the way, it airs again, next Tuesday night at 7pm. Go Carrie Underwood.

Thanks girls...now the cat's out of the bag. Well, I was surprised that Nikko was voted off before Scott or Anthony, however, though Nikko has a quality voice. I felt he tried to do too much with his voice during a song. So much so that you had a hard time in telling if he was struggling with the song, plus if on pitch or not because of it. As for Anware, I love his stage presence and he's handsome. He has a outstanding high range and if he'll sing songs that features this, and stay with songs to where he can belt the song out, then he stands a real good chance in winning. Like I've said, it's going to be a close race to the finish. Let me see Moonshh, who I'll bet on....hum, I guess I'll stay with Carrie. I think it would be fun, as you suggested,for who wants to here to bet on the contestant they think will win and see who does.

SHOCKED!....can you believe the three in the bottom three tonight? Who would have thought Bo would have been one of them, but thank heavens he got another shot at it. I've noticed that Bo only sings songs with mid range. I haven't heard him hit high or many low notes. I hope he'll really get down and show America what he can do. As far as stage presentation he's an excellent performer/entertainer. I do enjoy watching him. I was surprised at Carrie singing a rocker type song. It just wasn't her, but she pulled it off ok. If she'll stick with country songs, then I feel she can win it. I loved the song recorded and sung tonight by the final twelve idols. It put goose bumps on my arms. Well, that's my take on it this week. Ta ta.

*doesn't want to give too much away on the off chance that Stanz or someone else in her situation might read this*

*however must sulk because the WRONG person was voted off*

*thinks the performances last night were fun, though, way better than the stupid musicals episode, thank goodness*

I was rather shocked at the 3 that were standing there but I'm so glad that it was Bo who stayed :) He has a great attitude and his performance is always superb!

Who is Stanz? I'm not sure whose who anymore. Well, it's hard to not spill the beans, but we won't. I'm still in shock over who got voted off too Makensie. Wow, who would have thought it, but this contestant's future will continue. I'm hoping Bo rocks the house next Tuesday..lol. Ok, I think the final four left standing will be Carrie, Constatine, Bo, and probably Anware. Ok now ageents, don't be shy in posting whom you think will win. No real money at stake...thank goodness...lol.

I think you might be right, Da Ru, but I also wonder if Vonzell might not make it...

Right Dr.Falco. I loved her singing this week and actually she done better than all of them. So, if she is consistant from here on out, she could win. Don't you just love a contest this tight? Makes it so exciting. I'm crazy about music, though nobody here would know it...hehe! I just hope Carrie will stick to what she does best......"Country".

Well, well, who would have thought it. Anthony done a great job in belting his song out tonight. He showed he has a set of lungs after all. Carrie showed she's still a star, as well as Bo Bice who rocked the place. Scott done better tonight, but he just can't win it. I'm sure I'll be glued to the tube waiting anxiously to see who makes their sad exit.

Is it bad of me to be mad at my mom who called me and made me miss ALL of Carrie's song?

I mean, I told her I would be busy between 8 and 10, and I only watch four hours of TV a week these days (which is actually a lot for me!)

I was a little disappointed in the performances, given that the assignment gave so much possibility for lively funk...but I still thought they all did nicely. Even Scott. The thing is, I just don't like him.

I'm so sorry Moonshh. Hey, I know how you feel. When Tuesdays come, all is set aside. Last week we had to make an eight hour trip to see our doctor. By the time we got out of the doctor's office, we calculated we'd miss at least 30 or so minutes, by doing the speed limit. Well, my spouse usually does all the driving, but he had a terrible headache, so he let me. I have a foot like lead, and needless to say we made it home with three minutes to spare. Thankfully, we didn't get stopped for speeding...lol. However, after doing without eating supper to get home in time, I was disappointed in all their performances and somewhat aggitated from hunger...lol. Well, tonight I wasn't shocked at the three in the bottom, but upset that Scott wasn't voted off, instead of the one who was. Like I told Texan, when they make it to the top 12, it seems all will make it in the music industry.
