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.

This one will be hard to watch, I'm afraid.

[Moonshot]

This one will be hard to watch, I'm afraid.

I agree.

I got this in a Clay Google Alert today, and thought I would post the link for Adam fans. Interesting that he was offered a spot on Broadway just as he ws picked for Idol.

 COVENTRY TELEGRAPH

[ClayHeart]

Are all 10 finalists tied into some form of contract after the season ends, other that the tour this summer?

Maybe this will help them:

HOW TO CONDENSE A WEEK OF 'IDOL' INTO 20 MINUTES

[Moonshot]

Well...it's Disco time 

[claydevotee]

Well...it's Disco time 

Yay.

[WilsonClaymate]

   Hi Everyone

[claydevotee]

I must say Lil has a good figure.  And nice extensions in her hair.  

Hi WILSON BARB, MOONSHOT, SUNNY, et al!!!

[wisconsinmaniac]

Hi Everybody!  

[claydevotee]

And so far they're not lovin' Lil.  Kara said it....we don't know who she is.  Wil we ever???

[wisconsinmaniac]

JMHO - I think the judges are tough on Lil Rounds.  After all - - - they chose her to be in the top 13!  

Ouch - Simon is practically sending her home!

[WilsonClaymate]

Simon really knows how to make someone feel good  

[Moonshot]

Lil Rounds - I'm Every Woman - Chaka Khan

Wow, they just went right into the performance! Guess they are figuring out all the talking and breaks take up time. Lil did much better this week.


Randy - Definitely got the party started; I don't know; it sounded so wild to me; you can sing but it still didn't show us what kind of artist you are; it was big, it was grand; didn't show vocal control

Kara - I think all of America has been waiting for you to sing Chaka Khan; not sure it was worth the wait though; you've been every other woman but yourself on that stage; don't know who you are as an artist

Paula - Lil is on complete vocal rest so the strong delivery is something; you were hot tonight but not sure you hit the boiling point

Simon - you look so sad (Lil responds she had fun); think this is the last week we are going to see you; because there was no originality, very copy cat; arrangement a mess; absolutely believe this is your last week

Lil responds that she doesn't think she was karaoke tonight.
