    You people need to watch a different show. Seriously!

      I've been forced to watch by my wife and daughter....I swear.

      Yes Josh was overdue. Some people do forget how popular country western is. And as a country western signer, Josh was pretty good. I think that contributed into why he lasted so long. (on top of being a marine and a decent looking white guy)

      If any of the last three win, I won't complain. They all have good enough talent and the American public doesn't always vote for the best. (even though they did this week) Kimberly and Clay have the best voices, but Ruuuuuuuuben has the style. But I agree that I hope it comes down to a showdown between C and R.

            Jeez, Sava. Ease up, bud.

            I'm with Kontiki. Didn't watch last time, but have been watching all this go-around.

              Generally I have control of the remote, but it's hard when both my daughter and wife 'firmly' push for it. I usually read on the couch while it's on. But with anything like this, after awhile you get sucked in. And even though I not a big fan of a lot of songs that they sing, C and R are quite good entertainers. And finally, it was fun to watch all the "pretty" people, go down in flames.

              And I'm a big fan of "24" which both my wife and daughter don't like, but they can't ***** if we just finished watching Idol.

                Slightly off topic, but I had honestly never heard of Kelly Clarkson before I started watching this year's AI. I'm not sure if she was a purely US-based phenomenon or my general lack of attention to pop music obscured my view of her. I couldn't believe it when they said that she set some sort of record for number of albums sold in one week or something like that!

                    Yes, at one point she had the number 1 album in the US and the current group singing that patriotic pap that they recorded was the number one single in the US. Actually quite impressive for a self promoting reality show.

                      Is that a show where superstar wanabees have to show their prowess once a week, and one competitor gets voted out each week ?

                      There was this kind of show in Germany that ended recently. I think they have elected the left guy as the superstar (I may be wrong) :

                        I don't get why you hate this so much. There are so many far worse shows on TV. All that happens here is that reasonably talented people sing "pop" songs. I often see the performances on Tuesdays but never the vote-off show.

                        I was glad to hear of the result last night. Its ironic that Josh had given much worse performances in previous weeks and survived and then is eliminated after one of his better nights, but the other 3 have been consistently better. It seems like good looks kept some people in the competition longer than their singing talents warranted ( can you say CARMEN ?) but IMHO the best 3 singers remain and I could not quarrel with any of them winning. My favorite is Clay though.


                        As for Idol 1, I thought that it was a mistake that Tamara did not win but I can see that it hasn't hurt her given her ongoing stint on Boston Public.

                          I like Rube too. I think he is going to win, mainly because he knows how to make ppl like him. Heck, he already has his own trademark with the 205 thing.

                          I do think if it came down to raw talent, however, that it would be between Clay and the Kimberly that is left.

                          Oh well, I am just glad they got rid of Tamira... I hope never to see that girl again, she freaks me out. STOP TAPPING!!!



                          Actually, I never watch the show...

                            If you want to see Tamira, you can always watch Boston Public.

                                That's not quite what I meant. I meant that until THIS CURRENT run of AI, I had never heard of her, even with her success following the LAST AI.
