This is the first season I've really been able to watch from the beginning. I'm really into it! I really like 3 of the guys and I'm not crazy about any of the girls yet. I'll have to wait and see. I was also really glad when they pick Joanna over the other girl. I was dissappointed that Josiah didn't make it, but not surprised. He really didn't handle the pressure very well. I can't wait to see next week.

I was thrilled they picked Joanna too! :) I think she will do very well.

One of the top 24 is from the city I live in now--last name is carrico, but didn't catch his first name!

Oh Jen he is one of my faves and it turns out Britney's ex. Not a good sign but I like his voice. Joanna is beautiful and has a beautiful voice. Here comes the time when AI tries to take over your life. It is on 3 nights next week!

It's just as well I have a TIVO.

3 nights of idol this week. The boys are up first. I wish they had put through the one who wanted to be president, Kyle was that his name?

I do like the aussie but we haven't heard some of them so ask me after the show Tuesday and I will have a better idea of who I like.

i havent watched it for the past 2 seasons but this year i decided to watch again!

What did everyone think of the top 12 boys last night? I thought they sort of sucked in general. Lots of boring boys with blah voices. Some of them I'm really surprised made it to the top 12! I tended to agree with Simon on most of the things he said. I liked David Cook (the one who's sort of a rocker, with odd hair), Jason Castro (with the dreadlocks), and Michael Johns (I think that's his name - the Australian guy). They really were the only ones who were not completely forgettable. The young one, David Archuleta, was pretty good but I'm not as in love with him as the judges are. The ones who REALLY put me to sleep were the guy who looks like Leif Garrett and has the weird high voice, the attractive one who looks a little like Orlando Bloom (I think his name is Luke something), and the one who sang "Moon River." Boooooooooring!!! I hope the girls are a little more exciting!!

I liked Michael Johns (a lot!) and David Cook. The baby-faced hair one was boring and I can't stand the Elled deG lookalike who just looks and sounds faded to me. The Moon River guy was way too lounge singer for me - and I'm OLD.

(I really am 69. My kids and grandkids are shocked that I even watch Idol!)

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the guys were mostly boring. I hope the girls do a lot better tonight!

Boring I agree. There were 4 I liked.

I tried to vote couldn't get through.

I enjoy David Archuleta and the aussie forgot his name.

Let's hope the girls have some better song choices tonight.

I Tivo'd the show and only saw a little of it so far, but I usually like the girls more anyway. I don't know why, I think I just like female singers because I like to sing along with them (even though I suck). I agree though, what I saw was boring. And I didn't like Chekezie at all, I agreed with Simon that he sounded just old.

I only caught the last half of the show last night. The ones I did see I thought were pretty good. Some boring song choices for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing the girls sing tonite.

I thought many had good voices. I liked Michael Johns, David Cook, David Archuleta, Jason Castro and Danny Noreiga---and not necessarily in that order. For me, these are the top 5. Danny was not as good last night as he has been in the past. It was a poor song choice. I was pleasantly suprised by Jason's voice and ease on stage. Michael Johns is just gorgeous and has a voice. I just wanna pinch David A's cheeks and fix him a PBJ, milk and cookies.

The show was great last nighjt.. can't wait to see the Girld tonight. Should be good! AI is a great guilty pleasure!

I LOVE American Idol also, but the past two seasons I haven't been nearly as in to it! :( My husband only watches the first two weeks and the finale, while I'm more interested in the middle! I have to say that Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are my favs too! Some of the other ones just make me wonder what people were thinking when they were voting!!!

I got home from the gym too late to watch the whole thing before I had to go to bed, ended on David Archuleta's performance. He is so cute, I just wanna pinch his cheeks and put him in my pocket! Hope I have time to finish the show tonight, maybe start the girls show. Thank goodness for DVR! Otherwise I'd never watch TV. :dizzy:
