Ellen DeGeneres new judge! I love her. What do you Idol Addicts think? She didn't do such a good job on "So You Think You Can Dance" from what I read, but I love her and I think she will bring a lot of humor to the show. Thoughts?

CRYSTAL! Never watched it before, caught her song last night, she is very talented.

Tonight, it was Casey for me. I am NO fan of Shania, but he did great.

Man DD, I was worried tonight about Casey. Wasn't sad to see Siobhan go. Enough of the screaming already.

Talking to yourself again?
I'm a Casey fan too. And, He's enough of a sheep to follow the American Idol machine though, where i think Crystal would fare better not winning. So, I hope Casey wins.

I voted for Casey also. Usually vote for Crystal, but didn't care for her Tues. night. It'll come down to Lee, Casey & Crystal. Probably Crystal and Lee with Crystal winning!!!!! I do believe it's the worst season ever. Probably won't watch next season!!!!

My daughter and I have loved Lee from the get-go. I believe he will be the one from this season that goes on to a great career.

I've been lovin' some Lee too lately. He is good. Oh, I'm just so confused! I think Casey probably gets more votes though...you know, the pretty boy syndrome. I'm glad i don't vote.
33 million votes? crazy. :roll:

I think you're right.

With Simon leaving, curious about next season.

This week, definitely loved Lee. I'd be happy if either he, Crystal or Casey won. Like 'em all. What are they singing next week?

Lee's the one - I am cheering for him, but.....I also like the way Crystal isn't intimidated by the judges.... she knows her style and why she sings the songs the way she does........doesn't mind speaking her mind........... might be a problem for an American Idol, though.

This week, Casey swallowed "the sheep", and his actual voice was pretty darn good! If he doesn't pigeon-hole himself, or let others do so, I think he's got a dark-horse chance. That said, it's kind of obvious that, of the remaining, Lee is the most likely to win.....forget the look, he's got the vocal ability, and "current" style that gives him great marketability. Crystal is good, but her unique sound tends to limit her marketability within the "main stream" of listeners/buyers. I like, and have some respect for Big Mike, but think he's limited in his vocals...he's starting to sound the same, regardless of the song. That doesn't mean that I don't have great admiration for him as a person, and give him credit for his effort and heart. This insight, and $5, will get you a good cup of coffee......

Loved, loved, loved Lee & Crystal's duet!!!! Loved Casey and Michael's duet. The rest of the movie songs sucked imho. Crystal had the best of the four, but they could not have possible PICKED those songs.

The top 3. As it should be.

IMHO Crystal is by far the best, Casey is there primarily because of his looks, and I don't get why Lee is still in. I was sad that Big Mike was voted off. He's awesome. I just love the tone of good black voices, and thus have always loved black music because of this factor, the emotions behind the music, and the rhythm and the beat.
Again, just one person's opinion.

Big Idol News!!! Just talked to Supermom and she was in Dallas for Casey's homecoming. She says he's definitely not being shown to his full potential. I told her I like all three, but of course have a soft spot in my heart for Casey. She had an exciting trip til she got stranded at DFW airport. I missed her call last night or I woulda gone and kept her company--dang it!!!! It was so good to talk to her and she promises she will post some good stuff when she gets back!!!

Casey blew it tonight. In my opinion he's survived based on his good looks.
Lee is
.
I have been a Crystal fan from day 1.
EDIT: Crystal did great, but got some criticism. The judges said that Lee won with his rendition of Skynard's "Simple Man." I thought he was pitchy and didn't do the song justice. But then I am not qualified to judge this. Totally opinion from my unprofessional view.

As I've said, I like all three. Casey is just too darling and I believe Supermom when she says he hasn't been showcased to his true potential.

Crystal is consistent and always good. I've been her fan since the beginning. I think the slant definitely went to Lee tonight, and to Simon for the song choice for Lee. I love that song. It was a painfully obvious that the show is manipulated. Tonight, it was manipulated in Lee's favor with the lights behind him and the choir..it was truly his shining "moment". That being said, I think it's turned out to be a pretty good season after a rocky start. And I'm still a fan.

You're right about Lee's night.
I think that tonight was judged as:
1. Lee
2. Crystal (even though I personally think she was #1)
3. Casey

Perhaps I suffer, like many a man, with premature speculation......Carry Underwood was magnanimous, and so many were phenomenal. Kick butt, Joe Cocker (you awesome old fart!)!!
