		<description>I forgot one thing.  The second week of Beatles songs was not a good decision at all.  In two weeks, I can only think of 4-5 performances where the artists actually connected with the music and lyrics.  I don't think that Sir Paul and Ringo could have been too proud of what they saw.  Maybe the kids were just too young to appreciate?</description>

		<description>I think they hit the bottom three on the money, and the right person was voted off this week.  Kristy is not nearly the performer that Amanda is, but Amanda would never have fit in on the Idol Tour.  You can already tell that the producers were having a hard time finding a role for her in the group productions.  Carly has a real problem connecting with the audience in my opinion.  She just doesn't seem to come off very genuine, unlike performers like Chikeze and Jason and Brooke.  That's always been a put off to me, and has cursed other performers in seasons past.  I see the final three being Jason, David A, David C this season, with David C finally pulling off the rocker upset.</description>

		<description>oh poor Carley saying how the business is hard and it keeps you down.  Oh, she must be talking about how her MCA record only sold 300 copies and how MCA spent millions on her to make her the next big thing but it didn't work out.</description>

		<description>Actually Amanda was the votefortheworst candidate this year so far.  Check it out.  Now they'll probably move on to Kristy Lee but looking at the site it's still not decided.  I kind of liked Amanda's spunk and personality but her musical ability was nil.  IMO, of course.  Everyone has an O.  

And memaw, I too loved Kelly Pickler's performance.  She's been very successful with her post-idol life and I think she deserves all the good things that come her way.</description>

		<description>It is just a tragedy that Kristy Lee is still here occupying air time.  As in my previous post I still believe Amanda wasn't long for the show but for her to go before K.L. is so pathetic.  I thought the opening number was horrendous and felt that the singers were totally disconnected from the songs. I do believe with the exception of K.L. this is the best season of A.I.  They do have an awful lot of talent there and I LOVE country music but this might be kinda wild to see Dolly Parton mentoring these singers.  One last thought...wasn't Pickler great last night?  I loved her and thought she did a fantastic job!</description>

		<description>What a shame someone like Amanda was voted off and Syesha, Ramiel, and David Archeluta were left to bore us weekly.  Amanda was a true rocker inspired by the true rock n' roll spirit.  I will miss her alot.  Michael, Carly, and David Cook will have to carry on, at least they are still there.  The show would be so totally boring without them.  Kristy Lee isn't the best, but she has a much better voice than Syesha, or Ramiel, and I could listen to her over them, anytime.  America really needs to get their heads on straight, or we will have another winner like the other forgetable winners, not a stand out that will really have a career.  Look what America did to Daughtery.  You are on track to do the same thing this year.</description>

		<description>Amanda is by far, not a favorite of mine.  But I do think she was a stronger singer than Kristy Lee.  And while I've been very slow to warm up to Carly, I think Blackbird is my favorite performance from her.  She definately didn't belong in the bottom three.</description>

		<description>Kristy should have gone before Amanda. Amanda would be good on the show Dave Navarro hosted with rock bands looking for new lead singers. She should have a great career regardless.
  I LOVED the opening number last night. The group singing is one of my favorite aspects of this stage in the show: with so many good singers the harmonies are gorgeous. And in the end... got me all verklempt!</description>
