I don't have one yet but I'm leaning towards Natalie.
Disturbing to see all girls in the bottom three when at least a boy or two should have been amongst them. Male and female performances are different and the show is not as enjoyable to watch when it's top heavy. Nonetheless, I'm not sorry to see Holly go. Rock is the next theme. I wonder what Lana will do with that?

So has everyone gone again? I've been away on holiday so I have an excuse for not posting. If there's no further response, I'll assume the board is dead and drop this site from my bookmarks.
So for possibly my final post - disappointing to see Brianna go. Not that I thought she was any good but I didn't want to see another girl go. It makes the show very unbalanced and lacking in variety if you get it too lopsided gender-wise IMO, because male and female performers are different. Marty and bugle-boy (name alludes me) were just as bad.
This series is fast shaping up to worse than series 3. Looks like Dicko may have chosen a bad year to make his Idol comeback.
Disco (one of my favourite genres) is next. Lana may actually do better with this theme. I quite like her voice. It's her performance which is sadly lacking, but she continues to improve.

I'm still around, just been really busy with other stuff lately.
This series does seem rather weak, the judges are extremely hard to please this time 'round.

Poor Ben, he came so close, but Matt's voice was rather supurb I have to agree.
These kids for their age are bloody good. I still try to see some glimmers of hope in idol, don't want just yet to wipe it out as a 'bad year'. Yes admittedly there are some poor singers, but a few have potential just not found their mojos quite yet I think.
I'll keep posting in here for idol, then I'll be gone. I am interested in what others have to say. Hahaha, god how times a change eh?

Hi Raven, hi 4213.
I liked Ben's performance. I think that ultimately he'll be the most succesfull. Don't think he'll win though. I'm sure Sony BMG is itching for Matt to win. He definitely has the girly vote.
Natalie was good too. Lana - I hope she gets it right soon. There's potential there, I think. Tirasai I just don't like. Good voice, hate her personality.
Were the Rolling Stones ever disco?

Hello all of you, 4213, Raven, Meg, Polly, and whoever else is frequenting the board every so often. Sorry. Been so flat out I have not even visited here for a week or two. Also sorry, but AI is just straight out boring *yawn* to me this year. No true talent IMO. They all lack the "x-factor" - they all just sound like karaoke! It's just like watching a cover band when you are drunk and being all nostalgic, and singing along with the songs. Except Matt. I like Matt. He deserved the touchdown IMO. Anyway. That's my contribution. I'll check in tomorrow!

Hello hello! Yeah the talent is a bit lacklustre, but there are a few I like - Matt, obviously But I quite like Jacob as well, there's something oddly cute about him And Carl, he's all jazzy, hehe. Daniel's a total sexmo, but I'm not so sure about his voice. Ben's pretty cool too. Note they're all guys I've mentioned It's a shame the girls haven't had as much of an impact really.

Well... not completely shocked by the result. Shame to see another girl out though, but for a young'un she did bloody well to get as far as she did.

With Lana gone, all we need is Marty to fuck off and we're rid of the dead wood.
Ben all the way! A him and Matt finale'd be good. Though I do hesitate at that, because they're both so young, but I don't think any of the others are truly better.
And Meg - yeah, I think the Stones went a bit disco with that song. Maybe more funk than anything, but then Mark sang Ike & Tina, and they were funk too.

Hello, Babooshka.
As you know, I love my disco and I'm bit of a purist. Very pissed off at what was done to it on Sunday night. Reggae? Scatting? Funk (whatever that is)? Bobby Flynn has a lot to answer for.
I'm sorry to see Lana go. OK, she wasn't very good, but she was improving every week and it would have been interesting to watch her progress. Ha Ha, Tarasai in the bottom three. Aberration, or an indication of Tarasai's bad PR. Reading the forums, she seems to be perceived as arrogant by most.
