Comments on: ‘American Idol’ Eliminations Shock And Disappoint Fans ‘Idol’ watchers are torn up over Thursday’s ousters of Lilly Scott, Alex Lambert and Katelyn Epperly http://www.joesplaceblog.com/2010/03/5780/ I love American Idol.

WHAT? Lacey, Paige, and Katie over Lilly and the beautiful Katelyn? REALLY America? Lacey is simply safe because the producer likes her and because I've heard their are people in her church voting as many as 20,000+ times per person for her. Not real fair "voice of America" as a whole if you ask me. Then Paige has VFTW & Katie has her her whole school pullin for her! Unfortunately with the mass texting that is available it is really hard to say that it is a TRUE vote that America as a whole is picking. IDOL, you really must limit the number of votes a person can cast! Maybe more like So You Think You Can Dance does. But i'm sure it sounds really sweet on TV to say 30million votes were cast. PROBLEM: We just may have a winner like Miss Lacey Brown or Page Miles. To that i say REALLY? REALLY?

I'm really one of the few that isn't heartbroken over Alex going? I never got him.....never liked his voice..never got his look.. I just never got it.. don't get me wrong... yes.. it suck seeing the kid so sad.. poor thing.. And although the petition is a noble effort.. you have to know it won't work... because it would be unfair to give him another shot.. and not consider giving the other 3 another shot too.. This season.. as whole pretty much stinks.... and the only 2 ray of hope in the competition are Siobhan and Crystal... (and Casey..but that's purely physical...) I guess..

The judges really screwed up even letting him into the top 24. I don't see any appeal there at all. People say Alex L. has no stage presence, but his is just nerves, he has a great personality when he lets it show through. Tim is just awkward and lost and sings terrible. I'm so tired of seeing him on the show. I hope Katie goes soon too, she is very annoying. It's weird to see a 17-year-old with the persona of a 32-year-old soccer mom. I had looked forward to seeing what Todrick and Lily would come up with, I think they both have a lot of potential. Alex too, but he might have more growth ahead of him that can fit into a few weeks of AI. I'm done venting now. I hated watching that show, it was so ridiculous to see Tim Urban make it.

I thought his performance last week and the week before. the 1st week wasn't the best but niether was anybody elses. Also todrick had the elimintion comming because his pprevious 2 weeks weren't the best. I disagree about big mike.

Katelyn- I love this girl's voice, but last night SHE SUKCED , so based on her performance, she did derserve to go home. Todirck- DID NOT DESERVE IT, he was porbably one of the best perfromances boys night literalyy, it should have been aaron kelly instead. Lilly- im sorry but her voice gets annoying as hell, its a unique voice and she's strong contestant, but its the same ol same ol weird ass voice. who stayed: well of course andrew, yeah he's slipped up, but hes got a HUGE fan base and he's been misunderstood but hes still doing awesome! Didi- has never had a bad perfromance, her voice is beautiful and unique why send her home??? Lacey- who cares ? shes ok big mike- his first good perfomance was this wk, if u ask me crstaly is the best bar NONE however i think sioban will win it, yr for a crazy to walk away w/ it..o well..whatever, they've gotten the winner wrong since season 5 when DAUTRY SHOULD'VE WON!...ppl are crazy PAIGE MILES- NEEDS TO GET THE HELL OFF THE SHOW TIM URBAN- GO THE HELL HOME!!!! this is MY sole opinion, sorry if you dont agree, but im not talkin crazy, just what i think and feel ok first off, im alittle annoyed with ppl getting so pissed..i will explain:

As I said last night, it is hard to believe that AT LEAST one of Paige, Tim and Lacy will be going on tour. Lilly and Katelyn were top 6 overall to me and Alex had some upside. And, as I said, our current favorite Crystal is no better than 4th last year. Bad talent, bad voting...time for a switch of channels.

It's just a disappointment to see the best talent sent away every week while we have to watch singers like Tim Urban and Paige Miles stick around. Can’t say I’ll be watching this show anymore.

Honestly, I could have lived with the eliminations aside from Lilly. She has such an amazing voice and I would have ranked her the 3rd best girl (behils Shiobhan and Crystal).

America Idol would do said teenagers and parents, not to mention the American Idol viewers, a great big favor if they limited the calls from each number a la Dancing with the Stars. Even then, results can be bizarre, but why make it worse by limiting voting by time alone? All four of the eliminated contestants deserved to be in the Top 12. If kids couldn't vote as many times as they can redial in a two-hour period, maybe only one of those four would have gone home. And I have a SUPER idea for Tim Urban!!! Having done a pale and offensive imitation of Jason Castro with Hallelujah, he should now take on Imagine, doing Archie's version of Eva Cassidy's version (which was actually better than Eva's). Wouldn't that be great? Do you think Simon would hug him? This is what America gets when teenagers are let loose to power message instead of doing their homework.
