    The Italian guys - what the heck?!! where did that come from?!? it just did not seem like those voices should be coming out of those guys, they sounded like the Three Tenors. I think the song they did was a re-work of O Solo Mio. It sounded like they called them The Uvulas......

    Kind of dissapointed that Haley went, I was briefly a fan after Tuesday night's performance. And dissapointed that its down to only country singers. I mean I can appreciate country music, I think there is a lot of great songs, great singers, great musicians that do country, but it is just not my thing. Ok, maybe a little Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson, but not much other than that for me.

    :lol: ... funny

    yes I think a lot of people feel that way having Lauren and Scotty left

    maybe they should switch it up and do some rock or pop!

    They will each have to sing the "Idol Song". That song is always the winners first single. I think some years it is the artists ability to sing that 1 song that make them the winner. The year that Adam Lambert was a finalist (season 8) I think that was the case. He did not sing the song as well as Kris Allen...it just wasn't his type of song. He lost idol...but I think he has had more post idol success.
    I am not sure this song will be a good match for Scotty's voice. I would imagine that he has to chose his songs very carefully. I think Lauren could sing the phonebook and sound great. She seems to have more versitility with her voice.

    It is usually written before the finalists are chosen. I am not sure if they alter it. I usually do not care for it either...except the year Fantasia won. I liked that one.

    me and Fantasia didn't get along ;) she reminded me of an old friend... not a good old friend.

    I liked the Teddy Bear fella a lot from the early days.

    My neighbors son was the runner up with Kelly the first year so I was rooting for him.
    He lives in New York... Dad here in Jonesboro... x police chief now commissioner.

    Gee thats all I can think of... oh liked gray haired guy and long haired southern dude
    and of course Adam.

    I wonder how many more seasons we got.

    I liked Bo, too. That was the only year Mr. Guitar would watch with me. I didn't really watch the season Taylor Hicks (grey haired guy) won. I like David Cook, still listen to him, too. He was a rocker...so they win occasionally. We get next year...audition dates are set.

    A little too much country for me tonight... not really my thing, but I thought they both sounded great. I think I liked Lauren best. I was glad I didn't just turn it off before the credits. I am still a David Cook fan, especially when he sings the songs I listened to in Jr. High School!

    David Cook did a great job on a super great song.

    I agree, I think Lauren may have this especially with the Mom song... not fair!

    I hope Scotty wins though! :D

    I watched it, but country is just not my thing, did not hold my attention too much. But from what I can tell, it looks like a tie, I thought they both did great.

    I know I one point I looked up and there was some dude singing and a line of people in motorcycle helmets drumming with lasers and stuff and I thought what the heck? That really didn't fit into what was basically a country ho-down.

    Hope Scotty wins.

    i was not surprised at all
    i'm guessing the target voters are little girls
    rocker chicks and guys in general probably don't vote AI

    and even tho i don't do country
    i am a little proud that another north carolinian has won

    fantasia and scotty won
    clay and daughtry did very well without winning

    i WAS impressed to see beyonce, bono, the edge, and judas fucking priest tho
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    well, it looks like we called it! good for Scotty. I thought last night was an amazing show, I really enjoyed it! James with Judas Priest was way cool! And I heard that the 2 brothers from Stone Temple Pilots were in the band supporting Steven Tyler, I'll have to check the recording to see that again. Sheila E was drumming for Marc Anthony. And I liked the Spiderman song, my son said "that guy singing with Bono sounds like Bono. Tony Bennet - he messed up a bit. I enjoyed the segments they did on the judges, very funny.
