I really don't like her voice at all. Her dancing was lame, she looked really disconnected. I think she'll be this years Kristy Lee Cooke (Spelling; who cares?) She'll perform crappily for more weeks than she deserves and then she'll be gone. Von. I don't dislike him like I used to but I still don't want to listen to him sing. He seems to have lost the joy he had when he was torturing us with his vocals and stylings. Jasmine: Stop screaming at me, girly. You are no Christina Aguilera. Ricky: Zzzz. He did okay but not good enough to make it. Tatiana: She isn't even singing and I'm sick of her. LOL. I hope she gets some good medication when this is over. Can't believe she sang the same damn song *again*? What the heck? What a stupid move. Anoop Dog: Hahaha! Am cracking up over him singing a Bobby Brown song. I like the dude but I dunno about this song choice. LOL

I don't remember what Jasmine even sang - So I don't know what to feel about her being there.... Maybe Megan doesn't bother me as much, since I was only listening while playing a game on facebook... I didn't see her dance - And didn't mind her singing. I will assume the final player will be Anoop.

Lisann....."Yanni's top 10"...LOL!! I need to see the full line up but off the top of my head Danny G and Lil are heading the pack hands down. I also need to set the DVR to tape the show following AI....not that we can't find the last couple of minutes on the internet, it's just annoying when it cuts off. I think AI is in cahoots with the Neilson (sp) group to make sure we watch it live

Meghan actually annoys me less than Brooke, but that's who I thought of: pretty blonde who the judges like to an inexplicable degree. The whole "Matt and Anoop, you're BOTH in!" thing was indeed a surprise, as was hearing Matt's name before Anoop's. So now that there's a "top 13," I guess one week (the first?) they'll have to eliminate two instead of one.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I need to see the full line up but off the top of my head Danny G and Lil are heading the pack hands down.> I would say those two plus Adam. Note that they were all considered early frontrunners, and they ALL got the "pimp spot" (going last) in their respective weeks. And Anoop got to go last, last night.

But they just love her.>> I always listen to the judges, especially Simon, from their perspective of "would this person be a successful artist?" They focus a lot on the marketability of the singer, and not just the voice, which in Megan's case, they have said (at least Simon) that her voice is not the best. Simon also said that they were "casting" the show, which I have always suspected was true; they put in people who they are pretty sure won't win, but just so there will be a mix of styles and looks.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 That's as good an explanation as any. But they didn't (IIRC) put in any obvious potential country stars this week; if I'm right, I think that's a mistake in terms of viewership - it's a huge demographic, an AI gets its best ratings in the south.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 "If I recall correctly." I thought Michael was more a pop/r&b guy. Did he sing country at one point? Maybe he'll be this year's Phil, who found his niche as the "country contestant" that year, though he didn't start out that way. It might be a canny move on Michael's part if he thinks of it.
