Anybody notice Constantine was really antagonizing Randy tonight? When Randy said he kinda missed some of the notes, Constantine said huffily, "which ones?". Then after Randy demonstrated by (badly) singing a couple of notes, Constantine said under his breath a little, "stick with rap". No one else noticed and Randy got a little ticked and "what?", like he couldn't believe he heard him say that. By then the other judges were talking so no one said anything, but you better believe Randy will remember that. The sad thing is, I think Randy really liked him up until that point.

Well, 6 really, 2 will be cut each 3 weeks to get the final 6. So it's rapid fire, but i guess if you didn't like that, you're in for a treat. Because the girls are farrrrrrrrrrrr weaker than the guys this year, it's not even funny how bad the girls are. There is many 4 that is decent, with lindsey, carrie, janay, vonzell the top of the group, rest are blah.

Maybe they'll step up their game, which they won't, but i guarentee that the judges will be far more lineant on them, because fox doesn't want the final 24 getting bashed to all hell.

They said 9 out of the 12 boys sucked or did safe songs, yet boys are way stronger than the girls this year. So tomorrow, we'll all see some shitty performances yet, simon will be forced to use the word decent, but not great about 6 times withen the competition. And then of course tell Carrie Underwood she's great and she has star quality.

Anyone else notice how scared and petrified Carrie Underwood looked as the hour unfolded and the judges were critiqueing the hell out of the guys?

Good:
Mario
Bo

OK:
Constantine (although he kinda bugs me...he seems like he tries to hard to be "a rocker")

Bad:
Scott
David
Jared
Anwar
Joseph

Awful:
Nikko
Federov
Travis
Judd

i cant believe i am still watching this show...i guess its the excitement of seeing what happens? i cant stand the song choice (save Bo's).

What did Bo sing?

I missed tonight's episode because I forgot about the M-Thurs schedule for this week.

I didn't actually vote but I thought Bo was the best, followed very closely by Mario. And I thought Scott rounded out the top 3. But I'm pulling for him since he's from Cleveland.

Totally agree about Constantine. I looked at my wife and said "Seal? Are you kidding me??" I didn't think he did a particularly good version of it either. Hopefully he'll pick a better song next time.

And I agree with whoever said ban Stevie Wonder songs... I hope they're done with those now. They've milked that cow for all its worth.

"Drift Away"

I thought I heard him say that! Not a smart move dummy, antagonizing one of the judges and turning off some of the audience by being obnoxious.

Couldn't believe that Constantine had such a 'tude. And that it was overlooked. For now. Did Randy say "Whoah!" or "What!?". The look on his face though said much more. It did not go unnoticed. And I'm sure was discussed with the other judges and producer afterwards. Kind of early to be getting a prima donna attitude.

What is just me or did Anwar have the creepiest frozen grin ever? He just stood staring at the camera after his song with his white teeth and bulging eyes. Yikes.

Bo rocked, but Constantine is the better showman. Mario will win it all. And Steve was really good--I liked his choice of song.

Has the annoying 16-yr old chick with the bigs lips been eliminated yet?

Bo was the clear winner form here on out, you could see him trying to contain a huge grin.. he came out of nowhere and essentially kicked constantine off the show

theres only room for one rocker.. and bo nailed it.

seal was a bad song choice for constantine.

this group of guys is in another league from last year, none of those final 3 would have even made the final 12 this year

I guess I'm the only one that didn't think much of Mario. I thought Anwar and Bo were the two best, and I thought Constantine was the worst. Although compared to previous years, this is the best group of guys I've seen...ALL these guys can actually sing, although obviously some did better than others on last night's show.

BOOOOOO! who says there is only room for one "rocker." i dont think that more than one will get too far this year but that has nothing to do with "room for one rocker" but has more to do with these individual guys. i have been waiting for something different besides the american idols of past...give me more ROCK!

Agreed.

The first audience-voting round of "American Idol," featuring the 12 male semifinalists, scored 13.2/19 for FOX at 8 p.m. The pair of "Still Standing," 6.6/10, and "Listen Up," 6.3/9, put CBS in second. NBC's "Fear Factor" took a hit from "Idol" and finished at 5.3/8. ABC's "EM: Home Edition: How'd They Do That?" was close behind in fourth. The WB finished fifth with "7th Heaven," 3.7/5, while UPN's "One on One" and "Cuts" brought up the rear.

Yes, she has. Even though the girls don't sing until tonight, and the eliminations are not until tomorrow...she has been eliminated. Just for you.

I get that Constantine does more onstage in terms of being a showman, but I find it a little forced and creepy. He gets a little too much credit for that. I thought Bo was great all around, and a little more natural.

Who's Steve???

I can deal with some rockers on AI, shake things up a bit. I'm so glad that both of the "crooners" are gone. Too many bad memories of Red from last season.

I really dig Mario but overall the guys are strong this year. Please don't let mini-Clay go through. I think he would go far, but we've been-there, done-that (I am not a Clay fan at all). The girls are bland but I like Carrie and Mikalah.

In the past seasons there were too many mediocre/bad singers in the final 12.

Do you mean Teen Drescher?

No, I think he's talking about Mikalah - she's still in it: Big Lips
I don't think she'll last much longer.

Ohh wait... I just read your post again. I've been Groucho-ized . Never mind what I said.

I totally agree! I voted about 100 times total for Bo and Constantine last night. (On a side note, it appears nobody in Hawaii cares this year without a local contestant, and I didn't get one busy signal.)

"Kiss from a Rose" was a very surprising choice, and a very difficult song to sing. Constantine did OK with it, and I didn't think he was off-key on each "Baby". Bo was great.

I thought David Brown was a big disappointment -- his song was just flat and blah. And maybe Judd Harris was "entertaining", but he was off key all over the place.

I definitely want to see Travis eliminated on Wednesday, though, as I can't stand him, and he's not good enough to overlook his attitude.

Do you have any lucky charms?
My rosary, my aunt Frannie's ring

Word. I watched that and burrowed into my BF's chest and whimpered. He frightened me.

I couldn't believe what Constantstink said to Randy too, especially because I don't think he's a rapper, didn't he play bass or something for Journey?

i am pullling for anwar robinson.....
