The way those pictures look...and yes...I have looked...they're too well done for them to be posted without her knowledge...I wouldn't be surprised if she's leaking them herself for the publicity.

I don't care what kind of pictures were taken of her. I think she needs to go home because she is not a good singer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nigel the producer wasn't leaking them himself for the publicity!

I guess I'm not following your logic. Just because they're well done means she knew someone was going to post them online? Don't get it...

I'm not saying she didn't know they were being taken, but people aren't always thinking at the time a picture is being taken where they could end up.
I know there are some pictures around 'out there' of me from college, etc that I wouldn't be too thrilled about if posted on the world wide web. Doesn't mean I can stop anyone from doing it if I get famous someday. Which I'm sure is going to happen any day now ...

That being said, she can't sing, and the embarassment here should be for the judges who even put her in the final 24 to begin with.
In a SINGING competition, you would expect the best SINGERS to be in the final 24. Although she's attractive, I don't think she's 'hot' enough to overcome having a tin ear...

I honestly think these pics are being leaked on purpose...my own opinion...

They guys all stunk last night, this season isn't as good as previous ones...

Well I can only confess to watching some of them perform. I love Blake, and I like Sundance. I also like Chris. Yeah, I do believe the talent lies with the girls this season but some of the guys DO have talent. Now now that micheal jackson look a like needs to pack his bags. I thought and I have given him a chance but he needs to put some punch into his singing and not come out singing like a little girl.

Local high school basketball was on last night---oh what a game--now that game was better than all of Idol could ever be.

Last night was indeed bad. I did like Blake, though he could have used more power to his performance. I liked Chris Sligh as well, though he should have picked a better song. Oh yeah, and I liked Justin Timberlake or whatever the guy's actual name is.

All in all, I was let down and refused to vote for anyone.

Bring on the girls (except Antonella Barwench)

Blake, and maybe Chris Sligh, are the only two guys I think have any chance of being remembered a year from now.

This is definitely a year for the girls...

Chris Richardson may, and frankly, believe it or not, I think AJ has a chance at being remembered.

AJ (in my opinion) was probably the best singer on the show. I think he got voted out because everyone THOUGHT he would be safe, so they voted for their second favorite. He'll be seen again.

What got me last night was that, in spite of their involvement in the music industry, not one of them was familiar with "All Mixed Up" by 311. Also, I took from Simon's comments after Sundance's performance that he's never heard "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. These songs were huge on the alternative music scene in the 90s. What rock have they been living under?

I couldn't believe they didn't recognize All Mixed Up either.

How were the girls last night. I only got to see Gina. I really like her. What did the pic girl sing and how was she?

I only saw the last one, Melinda, I thought she was pretty good.

In my opinion, Melinda Doolittle was the best of the night. LaKisha was very good. Sabrina, Stephanie, Jordin and Gina were good. The weakest by far were Haley and Antonella. Of course, that doesn't mean they will go home tonight! Overall, the girls kicked the guys' butts yet again.

I'm pulling for Gina (can't help it, she's a rocker!), but Melinda blew everybody out of the water last night. Lakisha was probably a very close second, with Sabrina and Gina neck and neck behind her. Jordin has a fantastic voice, but I think her youth is starting to get the better of her...she's trying too hard to please the judges instead of just singing her best. Haley and Pornella were the weakest by far last night.

The pic girl did ok....but I think she is to young for the contest. What is keeping her on the show is that she is mouthy to Simon. The one to look at is Doolittle she is great. And I also like the rocker girl she did evanessance (spelling) last night and nailed it.

Nearly spit out my water on that one...

Lakisha is very good, but she just doesn't have the look. We're in a multi-media age. It's no longer just the sound. Looks do count. Lakisha sounds great, but she just does not have the entire package of voice/personality/look.

Which is a sad statement on our superficial society...

actually I spit out my tea on that one...

Completely agree DQ!!

Lakisha has a great voice and IMO is the full package; she seems to be honest, humble, great attitude and voice and although she is on the heavy side she is still attractive. If people would just close their eyes when she sings then they wouldn't be focusing on anything BUT her voice....this is a singing competition...not a Americas Next Top Model....

Fortunately, this is a singing competition, and singing is what wins it. Sure, many of the winners have been attractive, however, Reuben wasn't. Elliot was actually kind of ugly looking in the face and he went far, etc. You can overcome the multimedia age with a fantastic voice and great performances.

By the way, can anyone tell me what the name of the song and the artist of the song is for Stephanie last night?

PS: This isn't just a girl's year this year, it's a black girl's year. Melinda, Lakisha, Stephanie, Jordan, and Sabrina blow every other contestant out of the water!

Well, I hope so, BF.
