This year I'm having a problem finding a consistent favorite, and there are quite a few I like, but it varies so much from week to week. Siobhan has been a favorite of mine since the beginning, and I love her uniqueness. Her outfit last night looked like something capt_noonie would design. I thought it was amazing! Casey James is cute and I know he'll be successful, but he's on and off for me. I'm liking Lee Dewyze more all the time, and I love the raspiness of his voice, I think he will also have a successful career in music. Aaron Kelly broke me up when he said he was singing to his mother, he really connected with the song, and it says so much about his feelings for his mom. Love both Mike and Crystal on some songs, but no one stands out enough to have me calling.

I have no real favorites, as week to week things change. I really thought Crystal was at the forefront and consistent. But, based on last night's performance by everyone else, she was the only one that didn't step it up a notch.

I thought she should have done better in country week. I think lots of people are starting to expect more of her, and if she doesn't deliver, it lets you down.

I cant stand Crystal... ugh, I dont know why everyone loves her so much

I liked Katie Stevens but shes gone... from those that are left the order I like them is:

Lee
Shioban
Casey
Mike
Aaron
Crystal

I agree that no one really stands out. Adam is one of a kind so he is a hard act to follow. I did not agree with the judges on Crystal's performance. I though her vocals were very good but I did not care for some of the backup singing and all the instruments. I think she was really singing from her heart. I really liked Casey last night. My favorites are Crystal, Casey and Lee. I can't handle Siobahn's screaming although she is very talented. I think Ellen has turned out to be a good judge. She is funny at times.

Who will go home tonight???? It is really hard to say but I think it might be Michael. At this stage is it also a popularity contest so it comes down to where the contestant is from and how many fans they have.

My list is pretty much like yours. But, I am really trying to base my choices on their talents. Crystal is very talented, but to me doesn't have the total package.

Over the last couple of weeks Lee has begun to come into his own and at times is reminiscent of David Cook. You know how David could just stand there and move you just with his singing, nothing extrodinary in the entertainment side. Kind of a George Strait type. Stand there, sing and wow them with their voice.

agreed... I actually didnt pay him much notice at the beginning, and only recently started to realize how great he was.

I think Aaron or Mike go home tonight.

She definitely had the worst performance of the night, Im with you there... I just feel like people vote based on who they like at this point and ignore the performances sometimes and I dont think she has even been in the bottom three yet... so she has a lot of fans I guess.

I would be happy if you were right though!

I guess I'm attempting to analyze this logically. Usually the female fans out number the male fans. That could be Crystal's demise. And there have been others in the previous years that had never been in the bottom 3 that went without prior notification. Remember Michael Johns.....same year that David Cook won, had he not left he was the one favored to win and I don't think if he'd of stayed David would have won.

I'm still bummed about Michael Johns, and I think he's the reason the judge put in the save rule, people so often vote for a singer that they think is in trouble, not for their favorite.

Crystal isn't going home tonight! It will either be Aaron or Big Mike unfortunately...
Cassie was better last night and Lee to me fell short from last week in my opinion.
I like Sibojon however you spell it LOL...her and Crystal are actually my favs!

I really like Lee. He has a down to earthyness (i know not a word) that I like. His raspy voice is different. I would definatly like to hear him on the radio.
As for Mike he reminds me of a Rubin. We will never hear about him again. He has a great voice but I don't think he will be an American Idol, pop kind of star.

Never liked Crystal. Reminds me of a Janis Joplin wanna be!! In the begining I didn't know which was worse her hair or her teeth. Um...I think her teeth. She has a child which would make it very hard for her to do what the other American Idols do. With the guest spots and recording time and stuff. She would miss him too much. She should just stick to clubs and be a mom. IMO

[AprilLove]

I think either Shioban or Casey will be going home tonight. Just a wild guess, lol. Crystal and Lee are my favorites to get to the top three, not sure who will join them yet

[RachelGenson]

My guess is that it will be Mike that gets sent home tonight. He hasnt done anything to great in a few weeks, and he just is kinda stagnent right now. Yes he is a good singer, but can be boring at times.

Sibohan is good, and I think will make it to the top three, along with Crystal and Lee.

I was really surprised that Siobahn was sent home. In a way I was glad so I don't have to hear her screaming anymore. I was surprised that Casey was in the bottom two. I really wish he would shave and comb his hair. I think he would look much better.
