Yeah I think it was singing the same song and talking back to the judges. I think the judges got a good look at what a competetion with her in it would be.

That was totally out of left field. They must have really liked something about him to do that.

Actually the top 3 I wasn't surprised about, but that was left field.

I'm happy with the wild *four*, although I think Megan is really not as good as they want her to be (and as I wanted her to be, when I saw her during auditions). But man, Simon *clearly* wants her there.

And thank god Tatiana is gone. She can sing, no doubt, but it would have been the Tatiana show every week. Just tonight, she did everything possible to grab more attention, stay on stage longer. And good on Paula for calling her out on her sudden accent. Where the hell did that come from?

I like Matt so much. And Jasmine, too.

I love Matt. He's going to be my woobie for a while. I think they only went with Meghan because they wanted someone kind country, which we don't really have.

I don't get hte Megan pick, I don't think she is who they want her to be. I would have rather seen Jessi in there since I think Jessi has a better idea of what kind of singer she is.

I didn't listen to Tatina so I didn't hear the accent but I have no doubt she saw how they reacted to Jorge and decided to use that.

I think they only went with Meghan because they wanted someone kind country, which we don't really have.

Didn't Kristin Beard, the little blonde country girl, make it through? I'm already lost. And I don't think Megan is country at all. She's ... sort of bluesy, sort of ... indie rock, I think. She's got a unique voice, but it's really not as strong as it could be.

You may be right, Amy. I've already lost track of who all has been chosen, so far. Yeah, I think you've got it figured. Meghan reminds me of the blonde that always played the piano last season (sooo bad about names), she wasn't really country, kind of folksy.

Kristin Beard didn't make it through, she was eliminated last night and not picked for the wild card round.

Ah. Thanks!

Okay, I was kinda idly watching but my Tivo flipped over to catch ABDC, at which point I watched my Tivo'd Lie to Me, so I am all kinds of confused about what happened.

There's a final 13 now? It really is like Cylon math, huh?

MMaSM: Dunno. Agree that the ballet dancer is nice to look at, but there's not a lot of there there for most of the finalists, I feel.

However, I am excited to see Tyson again, and I like that they're doing pure mentors. This show clearly needs that role, and I think television is better when a mentor is available.

Holy Fuck! Did that come out of left field or what??

I called it early in the show. Once they started whittling them down, and picked two girls, I even called that it would be those two and they would both make it. I am rarely right in AI world.

Unfortunately, after it was over, we realized that TiVo had picked AI over Survivor. Can someone tell me if it is worth seeking out online?
