I think Jared is done for sure and probably Rudy, although maybe Paul (actually, he sounded good when they played it back at the end).

Jiggy, you sound like a bit of a rookie as far as this whole Idol thing goes . . .

In my experience, who goes home is all about what Simon says. You need to listen closely as he usually tells 2-3 people that "if they make it through to next week". I'd love to see the stats on how acurate his predictions are cause my very un-scientific analysis has been that America listens to Simon and 9 times out of 10 the one's who he said the above to, are the one's that go home.

Unless every Korean in America votes for him, Paul is going home. The other one sent packing (using the Simon theory) is between Sundance, Sanjaya and Nicholas.

I thought Chris Richardson was really good. I'm surprised nobody around here picked up on him before.

I thought he looked like a giant dork on stage. Maybe I'm alone.

Sundance and Sanjaya won't go home. Too much early hype will allow them to have a second (or in some cases, third) chance. Looks to me like 2 of Paul, Rudy, and Nick are going home.

I missed Jared's performance. Was it really bad?

The Judges seemed to like it. They didn't LOVE it . . . but they didn't carve him a new one (like they did with Sanjaya) either.

Good point, I must admit I was goofing off while the judges were talking and based my comments more on what I heard in the singing (which is how I judge contestants but you are right about how the VOTERS judge them). You're probably right about Paul but I happen to like him better than a lot of the other guys so I hope he sticks around. I also don't remember Simon's comments being terribly disparaging for him.

On the other hand, I don't agree with your other three. For Nicholas, Simon actually liked him and girls think he is cute so he should be okay for a little longer. Sanjaya already has a small following because of his look and the whole family thing, not to mention he will garner a lot of votes from Indian viewers. Sundance MIGHT be gone but I think he will be helped by being from middle America + the fact that they showed his audition again and it was easily the best one...people may vote just to hope he breaks out. I predicted Rudy would go home and Simon ripped him right at the start as well.

What did Simon say about Jared? He just seemed so blah to me. He also didn't like A.J. very much.

Also these guys have no impact on who I would buy based on tonight - Phil and Blake (who I wanted to buy anyway but couldn't get any money on the site).

Yeah Jared was ok. I personally didn't like it, but he sang well.

Read my earlier post - I agree and thought he was pretty bad. However, in relation to the other people he was probably top 12 easily...

Didnt' realize that Phil Stacey was valued so high...guess the odd makers didn't miss the boat on that one. Still after this week he probably deserves it and is still a good buy for the time being.

Chris Richardson did better than most of the people although he wasn't super great. Simon didn't rip into him though. He will def not get voted off.

My pics are going to end up being right with Rudy Cardenas and Paul Kim most likely to go. Sundance has an outside chance at getting the boot.

Anyone else notice the Chris Sligh lisp? It's going to become a factor later.

I mean seriously you have to admit my predictions were pretty accurate for this round. I basically owned.
