This thread will contain real time SPOILERS! If you don't want to know what happens please read the thread after the show premiers in your area.
All discussion related to the show should be contained in this thread so as not to ruin surprises for the different time zones.
The parties will start when the show starts at 8:00 PM Eastern time.
1: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You are allowed to discuss opinions in a reasonable manner but you can not attack someone if they like or dislike a particular contestant. Please respect your fellow posters.
2: There will be no personal bashing of any contestant. You can say you don't like the contestant for their performances or because you just don't like their personality but please do not personally attack the person. No name calling will be tolerated.
3: Please do not post pictures in the thread. Some people still have dial up and the speed of the thread is impacted with the number of pictures posted. In other words, it takes a long time for their thread to load.
4: People come back and read the thread after the show is over, we're going to try to do our best this year to note who is singing and what for each show. When referring to a contestant, if possible, please use their names so we know exactly which contestant you are referring too.
5: Remember our Claymaniac friends on the West Coast and don't post AI information in community threads. Keep discussion and spoilers here.
6: Also asking you not to post Dial Idol results. Many people don't want to know who may or may not be voted off until the show airs.

One Hour!
Maybe less time for the judges to try to steal the show!
First up . . . Danny Gokey! Still wearing the welder's glasses!

Hi Michelle, Sunny, Barb, Mrs. C
Since they only have an hour this week, things should move along quicker

Danny Gokey
-
Stand By Me - Mickey Gilley version
Second half better than the first half, it was boring. Picked up midway.
Randy -
when you first came out you had the jazz, r/b chords; didn't like the arrangement but you made me love it anyway; you've got some talent
Kara -
questioned the arrangement; killed it at the end; turned it on its head and made it your own
Paula -
wow; opened the show bringing the bar so high; creative liberties with the arrangement suited your voice
Simon -
beginning was good, middle was lazy, end was terrific so overall it was great

All!
I love, love, loved Danny's arrangement of SBM.
But dang.....Is there any possibility he's going to lose those glasses??? (I know I'm shallow...
)

Wonder why they gave Danny the forgettable opening spot.

What the heck does that mean anyway? Kara speaks in Idol "catch phrases."

I'm shallow, too. I was looking at his teeth the whole time.

Kris Allen
-
All She Wants To Do Is Dance - Don Henley
Randy -
lost you; didn't need to change the arrangement; you're the competition not the song
Kara -
big Kris fan; glad you picked an uptempo song; but that sounded like jazz/funk homework; it lost some of it's youth
Paula -
made one of the melodically monotonous songs and changed it up; most likable contestant
Simon -
indulgent; boring; forgettable; guitarist who wants to sing rather than a singer who plays guitarist

I think Simon is right regarding Kris. Not as good as his last few performances.l I really like him . . . but tonight he was forgettable.

Oops. Kris may get buried in the #2 spot tonight and wind up in the Bottom 3.
I didn't really care for the song; it never seemed to get off the ground.

I think because they know he can overcome that disadvantage.
SUNNY, I'm always happy to have a sister-in-shallowness!
You check out the teeth and I'll keep harping on the glasses!
OK, IMHO Ms Lil is not making a big splash tonight!

Lil Rounds
-
What's Love Got To Do With It - Tina Turner
Got her name from her grandmother, Lily; Lil's real full name
is
Lil
Hearing these songs from the year they were all born is making me feel ancient
Randy -
we all love you; you're mad, mad talented; what Simon just said is really important; you know where your wheelhouse is but you aren't listening to us; Tina isn't you; there were alot of songs you could have done
Kara -
making the leap from a singer to an artist; your lower range really suffers
Paula -
you look very, very hot tonight; this was the week I thought was really important to take your own liberties, go outside the box and show us exactly who you are as an artist; I find myself repeating "you're a brilliant vocalist" but that only gets you so far; you needed to lead Ricky and the band to make the song yours; I don't think you did; you're bigger than a karaoke rendition
Simon -
what Paula was trying to say is 'we are not looking for a 2nd or 3rd rate Tina Turner; it was ghastly copycat; we've lost you; you're not making the impact that you should; you've got to start becoming original
