American Idol Guys Tonight

It's going to be tough letting just 5 out of the 12 guys go through to the top 10. I counted 8 that I think should go through. My favorite is still Paul McDonald.

Does anyone know if the judges 'wild cards' have to be one guy and one girl or could it be 2 guys or 2 girls?

So.. what did you think of the guys?

I liked many of them. If only I could remember their names, so I could tell you. LOL

Well, I loved the guy who sang "A House is Not a Home." I just remembered--Jacob Lusk. Omigosh, what a voice!!

I was impressed with the rocker who sang the Judas Priest song. Was it James Durbin? He really knows how to do it.

And I grinned throughout Casey Abrams' performance. What a cool singer! Why was he hospitalized, do you know? I was glad to see him looking good tonight.

James Durbin nailed it to the wall! He was fantastic! Jacob Lusk, loved him too. And the only reason I know their names is because you were kind enough to say them here. I suck at names............. The country singer? Well, he's a sure thing to make it to the top ten. If not further. I can only think of two that probably won't make this cut.

And I'm still loving Steve, Jennifer and Randy this year. They're so great together.

The very first person to audition had such a nice voice, but he'll never hold up against the competition. He's the one with the high toned voice. He'd be a great crooner like the old time balladiers but not quite for today's pop culture. I really hate the audition weirdos and really wish they'd show us more of the real wannabees who at least have decent voices. Teresa, I try to predict, too. At least that part is fun LOL. Most often I can tell by the sound of their speaking voice and the resonance, like you. One sure fire way to tell is if they have a hoarse voice. You know that's a singer - an untrained one but a singer nonetheless. But then, lots of famous singers are also hoarse and they've had training, like Whitney Houston. I'm surprised she can talk or sing at all.

I don't know Colton Berry personally, but he is very well known in the area. He lives about 15 miles from where I live. Excerpt from our newspaper: Colton is well-known to area theater fans. The 17-year-old has long been a fixture in the area fine arts community. Berry has directed and starred in musicals since he was 16, including "Beauty and the Beast," "Jeckyl and Hyde," "Chicago" and a completely sold-out production of "Aida." The High School senior also performed with the 2006 production of "Big River" and the 2007 musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Sorry to say I wasn't too impressed with his performance. I had expected better. Sue

I think Lee is in the top three, talent-wise. If it were up to me alone, I would send home Aaron Kelly & Andrew Garcia. My current favorites are Mike Lynche and Lee Dewyze (though he had an "off" night last night, he deserves to stay, IMO)

I don't consider Rhianna a great singer. All her songs have that echo effect which I think makes her sound better than she is. As for Mike who could have been voted off, though he's a good singer, I think they should have let him go. He doesn't bring anything different to the stage like Crystal, Casey, and that funky girl do. Everything he sings sounds the same and to me, a REAL singer, can change things up a bit. They should have saved the vote for another person, and I think they will wish they had later.

Oh, yeah--how could I not mention Scotty? He's such a pure country singer. Love the voice and his whole sweet presentation.

Yup, I'm with you on the judges, Debby.

my top fave guy is still Casey Abrams love the red hair and that Jennifer said he was sexy. He said he was out to prove guys that look like him can be sexy. I think he is very cute and that voice is awesome very talented guy.

I actually was with the judges in shedding a tear when Jacob Lusk sang he is one of those wow singers.

Scotty he will be a country music star no matter what happens on Idol.

james Durbin kicked it in gear. He is going to be the rocker for sure.

Paul McDonald loved his rendition of Maggie Mae, so quirky in voice and movement but very appealing.

I think the definite go home was Jordan Dorsey and he thinks so highly of himself too, after making every one
audition just to be in his group that group night, I knew he was going to be a fail.

Love the judges, they are doing a great job.

Is Jordan the guy with the funky black glasses? If so, I just can't make myself like him after how he treated the cute little kid that got cut. His ego is waaay out of proportion to his ability in my humble opinion.

Thought Casey did a wonderful job. Was glad that Scotty got away from another Josh Turner song. The one he did fit him very well, I thought.

James Durbin was wonderful.

Paul McDonald - I like his voice but really didn't like his performance as well tonight as what I've heard him do before.

I agree - they've got some talent this year, no doubt about it.

Couldn't stand Paul McDonald's Maggie Mae. Awful. I voted on-line for the first time since I started watching AI, last night. I voted for Scotty and James Durbin. No one in my house likes the guy who kicked the young guy with the sweet voice off his team.

I really like Paul McDonald's voice, so different. James Durbin really rocked the house. WoW, he's really good. It's hard to imagine which 5 get to stay, there is alot of talent up there this year.
This is only the second year I have watched it from the start. I love Steven Tyler !

James Durbin was great. Like Paul McDonald but not crazy about his performance last night. Can't stand the kid with the glasses. The little guy with long curly hair, he's o.k. but not in the same league as James and Paul. Jordan needs to go. Really like Casey. And, I don't know what it is but I don't like Jacob Lusk at all. Oh and the kid with the deep voice is awesome. I don't know that he will win this, but like others said, he's going to be a star in country music. I can't believe that boy is 16! Oh, and the boy from Long Island, didn't do the best last night, but love his voice.

The guy with the glasses is Clint. I do like his singing, but didn't like the way he treated the young boy in the auditions. Jordin (black guy) is the one who made everyone sing before he'd let them in his group.

I think Jacob Lusk can sing really well... but it's not the type of music I listen to. Scotty is good too with his deep country voice, but I see everything he sings sounding the same. Maybe he will surprise me?
