I have just watched the show (US TIME) and someone (not going to say who, but will in the spoiler tags for anyone that doesn't know yet) just took it to the next level, and gave the best performance i have ever ever ever seen on any talent show ever.

Anyway, let's start the discussion!

So, singing 2 songs this week. Angie up first. Hmmm......neither of her performances grab me that much, although i did enjoy her second song.

Next up is Amber. Now, i have never ever got the fuss for this girl, and tonight is no change. I liked her a bit more than usual and she did Love On Top amazingly, still don't think she connects well with the audience.

Third up we have Lazaro...now....yeah. It was bad, both his performances were bad. Enough said.

Now we have Kree. She surprised me tonight and for once i actually get the appeal with this girl, very very impressed.

Janelle - is it me, or is she getting wore each week? bland bland bland! She has the country vote though and im sure she will make it through this week.

Candice - OH. MY. GOD. THIS GIRL IS INSAANNNNEEE!!!!! Her first performance just blew EVERYONE away, and just made all the other contestants look like amateurs! HER SECOND PERFORMANCE WAS, IMO, THE BEST PERFORMANCE IN AMERICAN IDOL HISTORY, EVER. EVER. EVER.

If Candice doesn't win after her performances tonight, there is something FAR wrong with the way America is voting.

    Yeah, I just watched it (the last song 5 times!) and I had to come here to see if anyone elses had commented. It seems like it's only once in a blue moon these shows get some talent that's that outstanding. I was impressed with her up till now, but she blew me away with her second performance

    Candice has the best vocal of all the contestants. I haven't seen it yet but she's always in my top three:)

    Amber - Say a Little Prayer: This song has been pretty much cursed in idol, as in the person who sings it usually goes home. I think it came off as old fashioned like I thought it would. Vocally great. But she needs to connect more. Having said that, she obviously is connecting somewhat as she is still here and hasn't been in the bottom 2 ever. She is personally one of my favourites though.

    Love on Top - Now that Amber has a bigger fan base, she doesn't need to keep giving the best vocals of the night. It was good to see her fun side and see her let loose. Secretly I hope she is eliminated so the judges save her and that she rebounds into the top 4 (Janelle and Lazaro would probably go next week then, securing Lazaro's demise!)

    Lazaro - not worth my comments, appauling. He might be near the bottom but he wont go.

    Janelle - not a fan of country but she won me over a couple of weeks ago when she played the guitar and completely changed the song. It show cased her as a creative artist. However, this week I just found her boring. Sounds funny, but if she had brunette hair I think she would have gone last week!

    Kree - again, dont get all the fuss. She's great but needs to do something up tempo.

    Candice - one of the best vocals I've seen on Idol ever. Not the best though. But I've been rooting for her since last year when she was cut just before the live shows. I had hairs standing up throughout her second song and her first was great. Hopefully she'll be the top vote getter, which is good considering she was probably in the bottom 3 last week. Once Amber's gone she'll get a lot of her votes too.

    Angie - great on the piano, that's where she seems to shine!

    All in all, my top 3, probably until the show ends are Angie, Candice and Amber probably in that order with nothing in between them.

    As has been said on other forums unless Lazaro has the fewest votes this is the week the save will be used

    Nope. If Janelle has fewest, the save wont be used.

    Is there definitely a double elimination after the save is used? If Janelle is bottom of the vote (which I think she will be) maybe they will use it? Purely to get rid of Lazaro in a double elimination the week after?

    I never usually like the performances where the judges always seriously rave over them. But this year with Candice was so completely different. Her performance was outstanding. And at the right time. Amber and Angie were overtaking her in my favorites, but the performance put right back on top.

    Skylar, Elise, Phillip, James, Pia, Casey, Lauren, Siobhan, Lee, Syesha, Carly, David, Malinda, Blake, Lakisha, Chris, Katherine, Vonzell, LaToya and Tamyra shouldn't be on that list....i don't know if you're joking or not?

    It's all down to personal opinion though, and my opinion is definitely that Candice is a much better singer than anyone this season, and a much better singer than 99% of the people that have been on the show before.

    Thought Amber was better than the other female, name forgotten now, but she had no soft tones. Amber just let it flow. :)

    Amber 9/10
    1st female.....6/10

    We're back and it's UK Pace btw. :D

    Meant to add that 1st female is the one I call smiling teeth:D

    Lazaro sings but don't think he's thinking of the song as he looked about him. Thought I heard a duff note too, but he's a nice guy. :D

    Think Close To You is too slow for him....6/10

    Sorry to sound harsh Lazarro should have gone in the first week. I know he has a moving back story but he's a mediocre singer at best.

    His real problem is unsuitable songs, when he ought to stay with an oompy swing number, which give an edge to his vocals. :)

    Back to a rodeo lover....

    Oh dear Lord, don't like the sleepiness of that song start from Kree, and glad she upped the score. Mind you don't think the song does much for her.

    6/10

    Mariah speaks again, and seems she liked Kree's performance.
    Keith overdoing it a tad, re Kree being emotional in the song.

    Country? Never, that wasn't country! :p

    Randy gets exicted re Kree....hmmmm


    Janelle sings to keith. :D She shows more oomp with this love song, and it's not too bad.

    I wish I had seen Candice without peeking at the OP's spoiler.
    I was expecting a 10. For me it was just under 9.
    I think Amber is edging it.
    But this is for me the most open AI, possibly ever.
