Joshua and Jessica's voices compliment eachother sooooo well. Amazing.

Woah Colton looks so much like Phillip nowadays.
Oh wait, the screen banner's got the names wrong.
Not Colton's best performance, a bit ploddy, but he really knows how to use the stage.

Nice to see Skylar doing something a bit different.
She kind of felt her way through that a bit sheepishly.

Ranking the performances:
1. Jessica
2. Joshua
3. Skylar
4. Hollie
5. Colton
6. Phillip
7. Deandre
8. Elise

Ranking the duets (which were all great)
1. Joshua and Jessica
2. Colton and Skylar
3. Deandre and Hollie
4. Phillip and Elise

Looks like Elise is bottom of my pile.

Predictions for bottom three - Elise, Deandre, Hollie

My rankings-

1) Skylar
2) Colton
3) Elise
4) Jessica
5) Philip
6) Hollie
7) Deandre
8) Joshua

Duets

1) Elise & Philip
2) Jessica & Joshua
3) Hollie & Deandre
4) Skylar & Colton

Pretty much what my household thought as well - Deandre, not a fan of the falsetto, Elise I just don't like and Holly was shocking. Tricky to know if they would use the save as if Holly 'goes' I don't think they would waste it as she has been been in bottom 2/3 too many times.

Now I get Colton doing the whole Indie thing but that doesn't win Idol. The last winner to do something different was David somethingorother and I haven't heard much about him. He seems to be in the Adam Lambert position where he is really good but won't be the Idol.

I wonder if UK viewers would vote the same winner if they got to vote?

Ok before i do my rankings list i am so angry that those judges keep picking on Hollie. She was very good but yet gets crap comments from them about being off key, well if you wanna talk about being off key check out Skylar's performance (which although different due to the ridiculous amount of talking through a song and then her favourite little shouty bit at the end instead of the usual shout and screech through). And it is so obvious who the judges want in the final it is ridiculous. The comment after the chosen ones's (Joshua and Jessica) duet was so insulting to the other contestants and proof of thier favouritism.

Ranking the performances:
1. Hollie
2. Phillip
3. Colton
4. Elise
5. Jessica
6. Joshua
7. Deandre
8. Skylar

Ranking the duets
1. Deandre and Hollie (definitely the best one which was a surprise as Deandre on his own is rubbish)
2. Colton and Skylar
3. Joshua and Jessica
4. Phillip and Elise (disappointed as i think both of these are better than the two above but the song was boring and didn't stand out)

Now my predictions for the bottom three are based on what those idiot judges said.

Predictions for bottom three - Hollie (i really don't think she deserves to be there and it was such an injustice last week even Heejun shouldn't have been in the bottom 3)

Elise (i don't think America likes her and she's been in the bottom 3 a lot. It's a shame, she started off well with her solo song but ended up shouting and ruining it by the end)

Colton (i don't think he deserves to be there but i am thinking it'll be a shock bottom 3 and Skylar will get through because of her being on last, getting undeserved praise from the judges and even thier standing ovation which was wrongly given will get America to vote for her)

Ranking for me:
1. Hollie
2. Skylar
3. Jessica
4. Elise
5. Colton
6. Phillip
7. Deandre
8. Joshua (who absolutely murdered that song - it was earsplittingly awful and he should go....but he won't )

Ranking the duets
1. Deandre and Hollie
2. Colton and Skylar
3. Joshua and Jessica
4. Phillip and Elise

Bottom 3 prediction - Hollie, Elise, either Deandre or Colton

I thought Hollie was terrible - the song was pitched too high for her and she couldn't reach the notes. It just sounded like shouting.

Disappointed with Elise as I've liked her up to this week. I thought the duet with Phillip was horrible - their voices are too gravelly and similar, it was like sandpaper in stereo.


Best duet so far (I'm watching on catch up) has to be Colton and Skylar. Not a fan of either particularly, but thought they complimented each other perfectly.

Yet to see the solo performances from Skylar, Colton and Joshua.

I'm missing Heejun this week too

David Cook. He'll be performing on Idol's results show on May 10. And there are a lot of Idols and their careers you don't hear much about because you probably don't live in the States and are not a fan of theirs. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to know what they're up to.

Results time...


Preach!
It's certainly missing an extra spice.

Evening folks....creepy face right in the camera now....hurry up ITV, for pete's sake! Who's the creep anyway, anyone know?

Yes true, sorry wasn't saying he hadn't been successful just that people who perform in a different manner don't always win that's all.

*looks at watch* Tut! Naughty Idol, you've been very slack with your punctuality this week.

Goodevening all Thinking Hollie might be in trouble tonight

Joshua feeling ill tonight.
I get like that when I know I have to suffer a performance by The Wanted.

It's coming on...at last....on! Always good to see Ryan in a suit. Would love to be in the audience....but no chance that would ever happen..

Joshua isn't well....but hope he stays

Jen's getting a plug-in...her video.....dance video, not bad

Results done in their duets.

Joshua got a nice good luck message from a young classroom in Vietnam. Did Joshua even look bothered?

Jessica and Joshua up first.
Joshua safe, before he collapses I guess.
Jessica safe too.

Yey, my fave two of the night.

Top 8 on show.....message for Joshua from cute kids

Jessica, Joshua....both safe...

The Wanted to perform....Glad You Came...catchy sort of number, great for Summer on the beach.

Wow big gig for The Wanted. They look and sound out of place.

Didn't see last night's show so no idea how the contestants will fare tonight.

The wanted....how odd their best and worst performance ever.... Worst vocals due to dry vocal mix, no effects ...and best dance/ performance....odd.

He did look a bit wan though, and not like his sparkling self....but sure to be ok next week, I hope.

Well, whoever The Wanted are wanted by, they can keep them.

Next results:
Skylar vs Colton
and adding to constant speculation about their possible romance they have a full-on snog. (Only kidding. )

Ryan keeps them both waiting, Hollie and Deandre are brought to the stage too.

Jimmy replaced by Victor Meldrew this week. Oh wait, he's miserable all the time isn't he?

Deandre, in bottom three. Deandre's family upset.
Colton, safe (with added screams from girls)
BFFs Skylar and Hollie face off
Hollie in bottom three, Skylar safe.

Back.....

Skylar in yellow, and Colton....don't overdo it Jimmy re Skylar....they are hanging tight

Hollie and Deandre...Jimmy tad rough on Deandre

Deandre............Bottom 3
Colton...............safe
Hollie................Bottom 3
Skylar...............safe

Kelly Pickler to perform.......not bad

I kinda like that song but it paled horribly on the Idol stage.

When are 1D on?

Kelly Pickler looks painfully thin.

I'm not surprised Skylar loves Kellie so much, I mean Kellie basically IS Skylar in a few years.


Never I hope.
