The most amusing thing about last night - where we ended up watching about 3 minutes of the one hour we DVRd, is the judges teasing "using thier ONE save" last night, like there was ANY chance of that happening. Yeah, the judges are going to save someone with no chance of winning, with nearly a dozen people still in play. Give me a break, talk about false drama.
In protest, we will no longer bothering DVRing the results show, and we'll simply find out who got the boot on her.e

Most people I know seem to think that Megean is getting votes for being hot but they also seem to think that she isn't that bad. I can't stand her. I think she is a complete ass and I don't understand what is with that weird accent she was singing with. The thing is when you hate on her people think you are only hating on her cuz she's hot. Not the case. Yes she's hot. No, she can't sing. Haven't picked a fave this season. Maybe because we just started watching. I like Allison. Anoop was really good last week and so was Matt. And Matt is kinda cute too so he'll stick around.

Megan is doing this weird neo-janis joplin thing... it's just bizarre. I don't like it one bit! I dont even think she's that attractive.
Is Matt the Justin Timberlakeish guy? which one is he? I like him. Go Anoop!

Balls probably thinks she is hot. Hell, he thinks the fourth judge is hot, and she is beat up from the feet up.

Dana's first sentence is spot on. Megan IS hot, except for her right arm. And she ISN'T that bad. But that said, had she been voted off, I would have been fine with it. Alexis was a better singer.

Matt is the Justin Timberlake-ish guy. He's sort of cute in a way.

No IDOL on Tuesday this week, the show will be pushed back to a Wednesday / Thursday tilt for this week. I guess the President is spewing more crap tomorrow night, and preempting our regularly scheduled programming.

I watch it, somewhat. Basically I read, with it on in the background.

This week's theme is "50 Years of Motown". Smokey Robinson will perform with Ruben Studdard on the results show. Yawn.

They are expecting someone to fit on the stage along with Ruben Studdard?

My favorite Smokey Robinson memory happened in my rookie year in the bleachers. 1999. I wasn't in the bleachers that day, but he was singing the National Anthem at the Stadium. First, I think his voice cracked. But second, he took forever to sing the anthem. What was noticed from the box seats was that the bleacher folk started singing it at normal pace. They not only finished the song, I think they even did it twice.

I covered the results show in about 10 minutes. I was shocked that Matt Giraud, who was arguably the best of the night, was in the bottom 2. Are you kidding me? Meanwhile, hot Megan survives.
I don't care that Sarver went. He was the second worst on the night. It's not like he stood a chance, and if it means we get to look at Megan for another week, so be it. It would have been VERY interesting had Matt been tossed, just to see if the judges would use their save.

We totally forgot the results show was on, so the show is dropping off the radar a bit for us. Yeah, Sarver was practically a lock to go. People just dont like Matt, I guess. They need to use their stupid "save" before the final 5, so it may have been a possibility. Even if it was not, they would have teased it was.
Nice lip-synching controversy they got there, admitting the group performances are mimicked. If we cant trust them with that, what CAN we trust them with?

The thing with Matt is that he was arguably the BEST of the night. That definitely was a surprise.
This may be the first year they lip synched the group act, but not sure. Hard to tell the difference between live and recorded when you are fastforwarding.

Balls, its already been proven that most people are not voting on a nightly basis - they have their favorites, and they keep voting for their favorites. The swing based on performance is not nearly what you seem to expect it to be.
All of the articles I have read regarding the lip-synch thing admit this has gone on since the beginning, which makes it even more amazing it was not called out before now. This is not something they just dredged up.

Yeah, I never noticed the pre-recorded group number before now. I dunno if it was lip-synced or not but it was clearly prerecorded. ah well!
I'm sure if for some ungodly reason matt had gotten the axe, they would have saved him.
I honestly can't believe how GOOD Adam was. Compared to the craphole that was last week's performance, this week was brilliant.

I still say they fake the voting to get people talking. The only one that they need to be honest about is the guy leaving.

Adam was excellent, no question of that. But that goes back to the showman in him. Next week he will be back to nauseating, I am sure.
They do NOT fudge the votes, there is enough drama in the real votes to get America talking.

I don't really think they NEED to fudge up votes. America is stupid enough as it is without fake drama. I can't wait to see how Adam decides to creep us out next week.
I can't believe meghan wasn't in the bottom 3. Her performance was very FF worthy.
and wtf stevie! No Ribbon in the Sky??? I wonder if Scott was extra excited about Stevie... since... you know...

I think Stevie and Scott should have had a danceoff. Or a fight.
