Karen Rodriguez - So Not Deserving!!!! Nag Spanglish lang Pasok na!! Iiiiiiiwwwww!! Yuck!!!!!!! It should have been Lauren Turner!!!!

[burnbabyburn04]

At least the heavy favorites are there.

What was America thinking with Haley Reinhart! The rest were kind of expected. I'm not a fan of Karen, but she played her cards well, appealing to the Latin votes.

For the wildcard, I don't understand why they didn't even let Lauren T sing. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. The only reason I can think of is that they don't see her as the American Idol. (Eh why put her through?)

Stefano - expected! Although I'm surprised they didn't let Robbie through, only because it seems that he's a judge favorite.

I AM SO HAPPY CASEY AND PAUL MADE IT!!! I was nervous about Paul, not sure what America would think of him. Casey - I was confident he was gonna make it. Hehe.

Karen Rodriguez - So Not Deserving!!!! Nag Spanglish lang Pasok na!! Iiiiiiiwwwww!! Yuck!!!!!!! It should have been Lauren Turner!!!!

I don't understand why they (judges) didn't even consider her. Mind boggling. Her only fault last night was she didn't let loose. But she sang so well!

(Conspiracy theory - maybe they only considered the ones with the most votes among those who didn't make it?)

I kinda like Haley. Para syang si Sisa kapag kumakanta. Kung si Thia controlled ang boses, si haley kung ano anong notes ang lumalabas sa bibig!

Lauren T - Awesome voice, no appeal. Not good for TV.

I love Stefano.

[verti-ho]

I think KENDRA deserve so much better than ASHTON! Gwarrrk! Haha.

Im so sad!!! They should have let Lauren T sing!! She got robbed big time!!

[faaip de oiad]

^ Maybe it's because Lauren T. had the fewest number of votes and that spot would have been wasted on her? I dunno.

Here's how I rank the remaining contestants

1 Casey Abrams
2 Pia Toscano
3 James Durbin

4 Stefano Langone
5 Paul McDonald
6 Naima Adedapo
7 Lauren Alaina
8 Thia Megia
9 Scotty McReery


10 Jacob Lusk
11 Ashton Jones

12 Haley Reinhart
13 Karen Rodriguez

---

I expect Casey and Pia to be the last two standing - the producers obviously want that as well (those two got the pimp spot for the semis). I think James Durbin will be this season's Siobhan Magnus - a really good singer who would fail to connect with the audience for some reason - and finish sixth or seventh.

Jacob Lusk's elimination will the "shocker" of the season. Hopefully it comes REALLY early. He IS bad TV.

And needless to say, none of them would have a better career than Taylor Hicks.

at your comments on Haley.

Lauren T - Yeah, sadly. But c'mon. She should have at least made it versus Haley. Or she should have been considered pa rin.

[CaRaMBa]

Im so sad!!! They should have let Lauren T sing!! She got robbed big time!!

burnbabyburn04 makes a good point about her - parang walang appeal nga, even if she's a good singer. But I agree - they should have let her sing. Kahit yun na lang.

[CaRaMBa]

^ Maybe it's because Lauren T. had the fewest number of votes and that spot would have been wasted on her? I dunno.

I would like to think so. Parang yan talaga yung acceptable explanation.

[Ashtonangelo]

waaaahhh new thread for ai na naman?? sure na ba yan mga yan???

for me karen rodriguez deserves a spot naman..

Thats a good point! But i dont find Karen appealing at all!

[CaRaMBa]

Yeah, let's see if having a sub-forum for AI is the right decision. A sub-forum can't have just 1 thread.

[ervic]

Haley over Julie..Cmon!

[last.dodo.bird]

Karen Rodriguez - Irritating. She's just riding the I-can-sing-in-Spanish card and seems to suck up on JLo.

[tasha_tamszkie]

WHO'S YOUR BABY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW?

bwahahahahahahahahaha!

STEFANO, I will give my soul to you! Please take it, IT'S YOURS FOREVEEEERRR!



Nakakaloka, ang husaaaaaaaaaaaaay ni Stefano. Kung yun ba naman ang kinanta niya eh di sana hindi nag hyperventilate sa kaba ang mga fangirls. Grabe, gigil na gigil ang Stefano ko.

MAHUSAYYYYYYYY!

BEST.TOP.13.EVER!



I would've loved to see Julie and Lauren over Karen but ohwell. Si Haley pumasok pa siya with all her lasengga ladies-like perf ha. May fanbase si ateh!

STEFANO, gawin mo yan every week at itatawid natin ang mga pangarap moooooooooo! I LOVE YOU!

*fans self*

[paddylast]

MY TOP 5 for now.

1. Scotty McCreery - my winner for now but let's see if he'd show versatility (which I doubt)

2. Lauren Alaina (a strong final 2 contender for now, and Ryan was right, she's kinda like kellie pickler -pa sweet)

3. Paul McDonald - Will reach Top 3, imo and isn't he just adorable when singing?

4. Pia Toscano - I'm not really sure about her chances of winning. I don't think she's that great. Her resemblance to Kara DioGuardi is distracting me LOL

5.Thia Megia - could reach Top 5 if she played her cards right.

**************************

6. Casey Abrams

7. Jacob Lusk - George Huff (Season 3) of this season

8. James Durbin

9. Stefano - hhmmm let's see kung maitatawid ng mga tweens ang pangarap niya. for now he's my Top 9

10. Naima - she's like Crystal -ang liit ng demographics na pwede niyang mahatak.

11. Karen Rodriguez - a mere canon fodder.

12. Ashton - Top 12

13. Haley Reinhart - What is she doing here????? GTFO next week

[bittersweet04]

Karen Rodriguez - Irritating. She's just riding the I-can-sing-in-Spanish card and seems to suck up on JLo.

You read my mind. I swear if she pulls another spanglish...
