I don't think there's anything subliminal. But perhaps it's a signal to the judges or someone on who's leaving before the end of the show. Last night, each of them had the red lighting on one of each of their three songs. Tonight however, Vonzel was the only one with the red lighting. But that was AFTER the voting has been done and tallied.

I've never noticed the red light, but I'm usually just listening from the next room, lol. I'm so glad it's down to Bo and Carrie. I think either one will be a refreshing change this year, no one has sounded like either one so far, and they need someone that will stand out. Vonzell was nice, but the poses, the kiss blowing- I felt like I was watching a Miss America contest.

WOO HOO! Bo & Carrie! I'm still rooting for Bo but will be happy either way.

RANT WARNING:

Was anyone other than me bothered by Bo's sunglasses last night during the show? They're OK when he's performing, but last night I wish he would've taken them off! Made me wonder if his eyes were all blood-shot or something. Of course, he did take them off when he sang, didn't he? Why oh why did he keep them on the rest of the time? That's just one of my personal pet peeves.

That being out of my system:

I'm glad that he and Carrie are in the final two. I think next week will be great! I can't wait for the show!

I think he just wears those sunglasses to peeve Simon. I remember when he wore them the first time and Simon made a big todo about them and said he didn't care they were just a $6 pair anyway. But yes they do annoy me as well.

It's funny around here how many people love Carrie but would really like to see Bo win. I agree that I think both of them have big careers ahead regardless of which one gets the title.

Oh it's Bo and Carrie? Yay. :cp: Haven't seen it yet but glad it is them.

My niece (12 yrs. old) called me last night. They live in Muskogee, OK which is the close to where Carrie Underwood lives. They got tickets to be in the audience on Wednesday night for the results show of American Idol. They are doing it at the Civic Center in Muskogee. Gave away 4000 tickets. For those not familiar with the show, the night of the results for the finale, they always go the the home town of the two and have an auditorium full of fans supporting the contestant. They do live remotes and give away prizes, etc. I told Ashley that I would be watching for her. She was going to make a big sign to take.

Wow, both were amazing tonight but my votes (if I could ever get through) are going to Carrie, she gave me goose bumps on that last song, especially when she started tearing up :hat:

I didn't see Carrie sing :( I was tied up with other things and saw Bo's first two songs, and a few seconds of Carrie's first song. Darn! Well maybe if she wins, she'll sing that song tomorrow night :)

Though I'm hoping Bo wins!

Roxymom, that will be so exciting for your niece! I vaguely recall last years finale, what a crowd in the home towns! I don't recall a tv show ever getting the kind of attention AI gets, it's amazing.

I voted for Bo but won't be disappointed if Carrie wins. They are both winners to me!

They were both great last night, IMO.

When Carrie finished Independence Day, I was like--"but you didn't finish the song! I need more!"

It was interesting to see all the "old" Idols back. They looked good, too. I didn't recognize Anwar for the longest, though! Some folks on the Idolonfox forum say that Jessica Sierra looked pregnant, but I didn't even notice!

I loved the video montage at the end of the show.

I can't wait for tonight's show, both are great and both will go far. I just hope they are happy for each other, only one gets the title!

I also noticed that Jessica Sierra looked to be pregnant...

I voted, 12 times, for Bo - I like Carrie, but she isn't my type of singer - I noticed the girl that looked pg also - did you see Roseanne Barr and her son Buck in the audience?
