I don't know why they put these people through this "sing for your life". It's sadistic IMO.

I think it went pretty much like it should have. Scott is to be admired and respected for what he accomplished -- but he is not the American Idol.
He is singing better right now -- probably because all the pressure is off

IMO this debate is so fake!

Simon says last week was a completely different ballgame because he didn't care and Megan didn't care.
Two people think Scott should stay, two people don't.
Kara and Paula think Scott should stay.
Simon really, really likes Scott but thinks the problem is that there are more talented singers in the competition.
Paula and Kara are fighting for Scott.
Simon makes the decision and says NO.

At what point did Simon become the Captain of the Judges? I've been wondering that for a few weeks now...

In other words, he's saving The Save in case Danny or Adam tanks one week.

No matter WHEN Scott left, I think it would cause an awkward situation. But - -he was not one of the top contestants. He will be on the tour and I am sure he has been an inspiration to many.
I enjoy watching Idol "live" and especially on this thread !
See you all next week. MICHELLE - thanks for keeping track of what's happening!

That was hard to watch, but I think the correct person went home.
When the 4 Judge panel was announced, it was also announced that Simon would have the deciding vote on all ties.
(He and Simon Fuller do own the show!)
EDIT - I forgot to say that Frankie Avalon still looks good - and he is even older than I am!

Hubby used the computer all evening, but I was able to catch the show.
I think the right people were on the bottom 3. I'm surprised Anoop didn't go home. Lil Rounds started out so strong but I feel she is losing her edge. Scott is so likable, and he does have a lovely voice , but I never thought it would carry him to the finals.
I guess those of us that started to vote for Allison payed off since she wasn't in the bottom three. She deserves to be there for the final IMHO. I know many of you love Kris and Danny, and they are very good and will get contacts I believe, but I don't think either one of them will win.I feel Allison and Adam are the better singers.
But this "saving" option is really bothering me. If Simon has the last say, he can well pick the American Idol single handedly. Am I right? And what would happen if he did save someone? Would the show have to go on one more week, or would they have to do a double elimination sometime? Just think if they had the saving when Clay or Daughtry was there. We may have had a different winner.

The "save" can only be done once, and only until the Top 5. When there are 5 singers left, no more saving.
If someone is saved
(Halleluja!),
no one goes home that week. Then, 2 go home the next week, to keep the numbers on schedule for the final during sweeps week.

I like Kris, but I just don't think he has the "fire" to do much in a recording contract.
