Great point!

I have mixed emotions on how the voting is this year too. One way to look at it is that we have 36 candidates to choose from instead of 20. The stressful part is when you have several favorites in one group and you know some will be eliminated right away. At least with the wildcard we know some of them will have a chance to continue. So far I like all the ones that have gone through.

Same here! I can't wait.

Me too!! I am anxious to see the Scott (the blind guy) sing and perform. I have so much admiration for him. I really hope he does well.

I cannot stand Nathaniel. He is such a cry baby. I hope he acts better tonight.

For those that are interested here is a link that tells a little about tonight's group 3 idol singers.

Thanks, I'm going to check the link out. So far my top two favs is Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey. I like Allison too, but when she sang the song again during the result show, it sounded like her voice was going and she was really straining her vocal chords.

Have you guys noticed the IQ thing that pops up at the top of this thread? It often says that Tatiana has an IQ of 133. I do NOT believe it! I refuse to believe that twit has a higher IQ than me! i know its a come-on to get me to take the quiz but how irritating is that!

Why are there so many good singers in this third group?? I could see a number of these singers going on. This is by far the best of the 3 groups, and I would have rather seen more people come out of this group.

And they aren't even done tonight

cpuff35 · 03-03-2009, 06:59 PM

Ok, just finished watching all 12 contestant in the 3rd group sing. So far, I think I like Lil Rounds the best....but I agree all of them were pretty good.

I know! There were a lot of good singers in this group...way more good ones than in the other groups, especially that first group.

This really makes it unfair to this group. I don't know how the judges are going to just pick 3 more on Thursday night. I would guess that all 3 the judges choose come from this group.

I really hope they see this method of the groups does not work & go back to the previous way or something closer to it.

yeah i was wondering how they'll choose the three wildcards. will they have to come from each group or just three out of the whole group

michsmith1973 · 03-04-2009, 12:40 AM

yeah...finally found a place where theres chatter about AI!!! Seems like the majority of yahoo groups I belong too that they aren't into AI or just burnt out with it. I'm still a fan...and watch faithfully every week when its on. I wasn't really impressed tongiht at all with any of them. I agree overall it was the best round of people....but none of them blew me away as did first and second weeks. First week was Danny, who has been my favorite thus far throughout and last week it was Adam. i thought they all did comparably the same tonight....they weren't bad....but they were perfomrances I'd remember either. I really like Scott McIntyre.....but I dont feel like it was his best perfomrance tonight....hopefully he will get through and I think he will do some great things when he gets to sing with the piano. Wild card show ill be intersting to see who they bring back.....I just hope that we dont see the return of Bikini Girl, Tatiana or nick Mitchel....those three totally annoyed me. Anybody know who Felicia Barton took the place of? I was trying to figure out who wasn't on there that was to have made it to the end and I dont remember?

Remember that girl who made it through the judges' mansion night. She was the one who had released album(s) under a different label but never made it far enough either due to poor marketing or something. She got disqualified just after that due to conflict of interest, apparently--or so hubby read then told me as I don't read gossip columns.

She's allegedly familiar/friends with the producer(s) of AI as she lives in the same building as one.

I really enjoyed her first audition performance but thought she did poorly during Hollywood week and couldn't see why she passed while some others more deserving got dropped at the mansion night.

I have not seen her around since then though I have yet to get around to watching tonight's show. We don't get to vote up here anyway so I always save up episodes to watch later.
