Okay, I'm sitting here watching American Idol, like I have been on Tues and Weds evenings for the past few weeks wondering who else here is?

Please vote on who you like, and make your predictions!

(If you don't know their names, just look here for their pictures)

I'm a die hard fan. And it's strange because I didn't watch the first season, and I'm addicted to the second! I wanted Julia DeMato to win, because she was the ONLY Connecticut person on there. But she was booted. But, the one I wanted to win because he's my favorite... Ruuuuuuuuuben!

I think it's gonna be down to Ruben and Clay. I think Clay has a good voice... But, his voice is ANNOYING. That opera voice. The only reason people want him to win, in my opinion, is 'cause he's a geek. And people want "revenge of the geeks" or something. He's too predictable, and sounds the same weekly. Ruben, tonight, just now, came out and proved he can switch his style up a bit. He's great.

Anyways, my answers were...

1. Ruben
2. Ruben
3. Ruben, Clay, and Kimberly...

What did you pick, Geoff?

LOL, AL - I picked Mr 205 to WIN, but as a geek myself, I'm rootin' for Clay - you called it, man!

I picked Kimberly Locke, as you did, as 2nd Runner-up.

Funny, I didn't watch Season 1 either...

If there's one thing I have always tried to tell myself, it's that reality TV, like this one, are addictive, disgusting, trashy pieces of garbage...

...nonetheless I still ended up watching this, but I don't watch much TV...almost no TV, still, I put it on one night and this was playing, so I am now watching it almost every night it's on. I for one think Ruben should win at all costs...everyone agree?

OK I will sadly admit I have been watching it this season. The next two to go have to be Carmen and Josh. I like them both, Josh is a marine seems like a good man, Carmen seems like a nice sweet kid - but they just don't have enough to hang with the others. Reuben and Clay will be in the top 3, leaving Kimberly and Trenyce. I have a bet with a friend that Trenyce makes it further than Kimberly. I thought that was a lock earlier although I am beginning to have doubts now. I still believe Kimberly will go before Trenyce but I will say Kimberly is most improved over the last few weeks. In the end I just want to win my bet . And the winner overall will be Reuben. Simon really likes him and I heard it is actually Simon's record company so ....

You're wrong Daddy-O...Kimberly will go farther than Trenyce because America votes for underdogs. Bring on that bet and make sure you pay up ...It is why Kim"Benet" Caldwell did not make it - because her in-your-face-I'm-gonna-win-no-matter-who-I-have-to-step-on did not sit well with normal folk. NOT an underdog...

My predictions.....bottom 3 tomorrow night: Trenyce, Carmen, Josh.

Bye bye Trenyce.

Yep. You would THINK Carmen, but she has a huge fan base PLUS every Mormon in Utah voting for her. Because like you said BDD - she is a sweet kid. Many voters also just want her to stick around to watch the romance between her and Clay blossom...

Top 3 will be Kimberly, Ruben and Clay.

If I was getting married tomorrow - Ruben and Clay are the only ones I would trust to sing at my wedding - they are the only ones GOOD EVERY TIME...

Being a Motown/R & B kinda gal, I PREFER Ruben's sound, but I do think Clay would be the better American Idol. Clay was made for the tour gig, Regis and Kelly, Entertainment Tonight etc circuit....

Clay Aiken WILL BE the next American Idol.


Sidebar: Dont you love it when Ryan Seacrest stands next to Ruben? He is the size of Ruben's torso!!

I don't understand this... tho there have only been 6 votes so far...

3 people want Ruben to win
5 people expect Ruben to win
But only 4 people put him in the Top 3?

And NO ONE thinks Clay will beat Ruben?

I better wait for more votes before wondering more...

Anton: Yeah, that's why it's on TV, cuz people watch it

BDD: Trenyce or Carmen is history tomorrow.

LDV: Yup, I think it'll come down to Ruuuuben and Clay, too. But, of course, it's America voting - so who the hell knows, right? But without a doubt, I would not feel bad for the Top 3 - cuz they'll all become rich and famous artists! I just gotta root for the geek But I do like Ruben a lot, although I was NOT too happy with his performance this week. In fact, this week, NO ONE blew me away...

Even though there were no judges Monday night, Kimberly blew me away with her rendition of "I Can't Make You Love Me (If You Don't)" One of my favorite songs and she was soulful with it.

Hard to believe these are the SIX best amateur singers in all of America!!!!!!!!!

Well, they're not... these are the "six best" that actually physically went through the audition process, and made it past Simon

So, who do you think will be the bottom 3 tonight, and who's getting booted?

I think the bottom 3 will be

Carmen
Trenyce
Josh

And I predict Carmen will be booted

JGeoff those are my picks exactly. Although I have been saying Carmen is going for like the last four weeks so what do I know.

Sooner or later I'm gonna be right - and next week Josh is going.

How sad has my life become ....

Well, we were right. No shockers this week...

My friend is a big Carmen fan, and wasa big Kimberly fan. Two weeks in a row, her favorite was booted. And she kept saying Ruben would get booted. No shockers.

My parents tell me to turn it off, but from what i have seen RICKY SMITH WAS the best..... I cant believe he got kicked off probably for his normal features. HERCULES HERCULES HERCULES.

Well most of us were right, but not all - see below.

The remaining order for 'those to go' - Josh, Kimberly, Trenyce, Clay and the winner Reuben. I am torn with Kimberly and Trenyce but I made a bet so I need to stick with that now.

Now who is digging up old posts?

I expected the dig this morning, no surprises...a girl can't be wrong just once?

Trenyce WILL go before Kimberly.

I have to say I am glad to see Goat-girl go - if I had to hear her warble one more time - I mean she yodeled at her audition!...what WAS Simon thinking picking her for the wild card?

But just think, now Clay will be sad his girlfriend has to leave the mansion and go home....

I want Clay to be cut immediately, and then die. That boy irritates me to no end - the way he mouths words softly and sweetly into the camera and winks. Clown-footed motherfucker...and I KNOW he was wearing purple lipstick one night.

He has a fantastic voice, but someone needs to teach him how to sing. It is too sterile. And if I have to hear "Somewhere Out There" EVER again, I'm going to snap.

Yeah, but when was that song EVER good?

The one that freaks me out is Josh - does anyone else see Shrek when they look at him????

You're totally on the money, my dear...but Clay takes it to a higher plateau of shitiness.

I hate television.

Except for The Sopranos and Cartoons(Family Guy,ect...) and the old movie channels

Either Trenyce or Josh will go next week. I'm leaning more towards Trenyce being booted.

I share your exact thoughts, Uzto. Clay fucking aggitates me to no end. Simon even said something about his stupid fucking face movements. Annoying twit. He sounds like he should be in an opera; not a pop star. Ruben deserves it; all the way.

No...he should be on Broadway. I hate she-men.

Reuben can win it, and it would be OK if he did. Josh looks about as much like an "American Idol" as I look like a tarantula. Trenyce is just a sultry whore with an ordinary voice, and Kimberly is fat with a good voice.

That little Caldwell nymphette who was cut a couple weeks back was pretty smokin', too, but she had no vocal range. I wonder how she sounds with my unit half way down her throat?

I can EASILY see Ruben taking it. I want him to, he's my favorite. By far. No one else really interests me. Besides, America seems to be addicted to fat nice black men with great voices. Like Luther Vandcross, although I don't like him. But, Ruben is superb.

205 is the fan favorite and will probably win.

I'm just wondering, since I didn't watch it last year... was it a people's choice then, too?

And - Do you guys ever vote? Ruben doesn't need votes, so I vote once for the next-best one that night, if I think of it. I can just see some people out there with the redial for 2 hours padding the votes, so my measly vote doesn't matter anyway...

Im a geek - I vote. But only because I have a kid in the house.

If I lived alone, I would probably not watch anything but sports and Elimindate

Okay, apparently this isn't a popular topic here... but okay, whatever, it's another week, and down to 5... who's gonna be voted out on Wednesday night?

It's getting tougher... Bottom 3 I say Josh, Trenyce, and Kim (no shock there)... Although the big upset could be Clay in the Bottom 3 (but obviously not voted off)...

Bottom 2 I say Josh and Trenyce... The one to go? Man, it's getting hard... I'll announce it, after this commercial break!

Carmen, Josh, and Trenyce in the bottom 3. Carmen loses! Finally, the one without an inkling of talent is finally gone! May she STAY gone. Talentless fool.

EDIT
Oops...big mistake there. I must be a week behind you guys! Don't tell me who lost!!!

A week behind is right

You gotta think ahead, now, bro... you gotta name 2 losers per week!

Bottom Three - Josh, Trenyce, and Kim...

There's too many Clay fans, so he won't be in the bottom three. Everywhere you look in the audience; "I LOVE CLAY!" - "Clay, shake that ass!" (I actually saw that one ). I despise that man. His face movements make me want to hurl, and his voice is more suited for an OPERA, not a pop musician. I think; he can actually win, over Ruben. There's TOO MANY Clay fans. Ugh.

Who's going home?: Trenyce or Josh, I'm leaning more towards Trenyce.

We have a program that's pretty much the same in the Netherlands, only it's called Idols.

I just can't understand how anyone can watch that shit.
