Whitney Houston covered "I'm Every Woman?" News to me.

Anthony is brutal. He sounds EVERY TIME like he's over singing in a high school play. Run along now Scooter.

My wife voted for Scott several times after the show. He's GOOD that's why he survives.

And Vonzell? I didn't used to like her but damn, she's gorgeous.

Because no one writes a song nowadays worthy of covering. The 60s and 70s were the two greatest decades of music ever. If you can't find a song there, you should become a garbage man. Seriously, I can't believe these people are walking around claiming to be vocalists and don't know a disco song?

Geez...what's your beef with her? Why do you even watch this show?

Yeah - I think it only hit #1 for a few weeks in the height of Whitney's career. How can you watch a show about pop music and not know about pop music?

Is that like never hearing a cover that hit #1 by a very popular artist in the 90's?

I'm trying to pick on you, dude, but every unusual comment I saw that I wanted to reply to came from the same person.

Um, is Carrie the only contestant? I praised Carrie early on but after last week with the robotic hip moves and this weeks horrendous act, she isn't as good as the others.

I'm fully aware of the Chaka Khan version. You were saying?

Yeah, I guess my wife and other millions or so votes for Scott are completely unfounded because SleepyW has deemed it so.

Did you ever hear the Chaka Khan version or does your vast knowledge of the pop landscape end in the 90's like Carrie?

Please. I forgot more about pop music than these people know in totality.

That's been the discussion since the final 12 round started.

Everytime I hear McArthur Park, I can't help to think about the Weird Al Yankovic version titled "Jurassic Park".

Based on last night performances, I think Anwar is going home.

I'll start by saying Anwar is my fav. His version of Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" was just too incredible for words. That being said, he's been flat the past couple weeks. (not tone/pitch) I was looking forward to his version of September, but it wasn't anything spectacular. Hope he survives.

On the flip-side....Scott did not impress me at all, but he has been good the past couple weeks. I don't think he should have made the top 12, but these last couple weeks he has held his own.

Bo's song shouldn't have been included in the choices. Horns don't make a song a "dance" song.

Bottom 3
Carrie
Anthony
Scott

Home tonight
Carrie

I hope it's a half hour show. Even skipping thru on "Tivo" is getting hard...

No, you are wrong. He's average not "good" as you have indicated. Far better singers than him were voted out previously. All I can say is that he has a large fan base which is why he's still in this competition.

As much as I hate to say it, Carrie was HORRIBLE last night...she may have been the worst of anyone. Hope her fans got the vote out last night.

Deemed it so? Actually, you're in the minority with people that know what they're talking about. And EVERY contestant got millions of votes - whether they sucked or not. What's your point?

Did you ever hear the Chaka Khan version or does your vast knowledge of the pop landscape end in the 90's like Carrie?
I was actually going to ask you if you turned your radio off after the '70s ended. But to answer your question, I'm pretty sure I'm more well-versed in "pop" music than most here--'70s, '80s, '90s, whatever. But I wouldn't come in here and pretened to know what I'm talking about if I openly admitted to not even knowing about a #1 hit by a MAJOR artist from the '90s.

Please. I forgot more about pop music than these people know in totality.
That is apparent.

And to some others' comments - while Carrie wasn't great last night (which I've even said), she was FAR from the worst one. She hits notes the other contestants don't even try to hit. People here want to rag on her for not knowing the song, but if you were born in the 80s and disco isn't openly played on the radio much, especially in Oklahoma, cut her some slack. This is a vocal/talent competition - not a song knowledge competition. I think the poeple that want her gone are people that don't like her country flare. Otherwise, anyone that says Constantine or Scott (or even Anthony) have more talent vocally than Carrie should't be anywhere near a phone when voting time comes around. These are probably the same people buying Clay Aiken records.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. They have the same stats, but Reuben give the velvet teddy bear vibe, while Scott is just fat and sweaty and gross.

When are you guys going to realize that this show is NOT decided by people like you ?? Anthony isn't going anywhere and will be in thge Final 3 and will most likely win the competition.

No, really.

As far as Carrie goes: it does strike me as odd that someone would pick a song and not know what they're singing about... how would you know how to sing it? Happy, sad? Just copying the original artist?

That being said, I'm sure if you ask most of us what the most influential country music songs were, we'd be stupefied. I mean, I know some Kenny Rogers and all, but it doesn't get much play on the West Coast...

I'd be nice if I could remember song titles better.

Constantine
Mixed on this one. It's hard for me to hear that song without the Be Gees high notes. It wasn't great, but not completely terrible.

Carrie
Probably my least favorite Donna Summer hit. I actually liked her rockin' out last week, but 80% of the time she just picks songs I hate. She does okay with them I guess, but it gets to the point where I don't care.

Scott
A fair rendition, but his voice wavered a lot of the simple parts of the song. I still can't stand to look at him and his "I'm a hard gangsta mofo" personality drives me nuts.

Anthony
A bland rendition of a so-so song.

Vonzell
I hate that damn song, but she did a good job. Her personality carries her a lot. The vocals didn't blow me away but were more than adequate.

Anwar
Terrible. This performance REALLY pissed me off. He relied on the backup singer to sing the main hook of the song. Without that high voice lead-in to the chorus, why even bother with this song? To me, that IS that song. To let the backup singer carry the heavy load (the important part) is bullshit. Others last night had some moments where the backup singing was a bit too invasive, but nothing like this.

Bo
An enjoyable performance, but this is a big stretch of the theme. So they change it to '70's Dance Music'. The song was barely in the 70s to begin with, but dance music? Bo is becoming a little too predictable. I still think he has talent, but the new car smell has definitely went away.

What I would've liked to see last night:
Constantine: "I Was Made for Loving You"
Carrie: "Dancing Queen"
Scott: He probably picked the best song for his voice
Anthony: "I Just Want to be Your Everything"
Vonzell: "Heaven Must Have Sent You"
Anwar: "Disco Inferno"
Bo: "Macho Man"
