luvbug00 replied: ayla ALL the way!! and mendesa!!! I'm not seeing what everyone else is in Kellie.. she's an ok singer and seems like a nice person but not an Idol.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Over all the show was WAY beter than the week before. My favorite was Melissa, Mandisa nailed that song, she is awsome. Now Kellie I liked her but she is gonna need some guidance, she so came off last night like the typical dumb blonde, I know her background but I hope she watches it and learns something. I actully did alot of voting last night.

I hope the guys are fun tonight

My2Beauties replied: I like Kellie, Mandisa, and the McFever girl they were talking about - I can't think of her name, is it Katherine? I like Kellie because she is simple, her story gets to me and she is a nice girl.

CAMSMOM1 replied: I think Simon was right, Mandisa is the one to beat. She really took her performance to another level. I've always liked her the best, and everytime she sings, she just gets better and better.
I also like Kellie. I know she may seem like a dumb blonde, but honestly, I don't think she's acting. She is actually a good singer.
I wish Lisa & Paris would've done a better job, because I really like those girls. I think they aren't picking the right song for them, like the judges have been telling them to do.
I've liked Alya in the past, but last night her performance was so booooring!
Katherine did a good job too.

But really, I think the BOYS are much better this year. I enjoy watching them a lot more...I think a guy is going to win this year.

DansMom replied: Last night, I liked and voted lots for Mandisa and Katherine.

I voted for Paris as well, because I know she's better than her performance last night.

I make the following prediction: bottom two on Thursday will be Melissa and Kinik.

I'm not into Melissa at all---but I tend not to go for husky, rock-n-roll voices or songs. I'm not into Ayla, either. Probably partially because I'm 5 feet one? I'm not sure. I did get a kick out of her standing next to Ryan in her heels though! Notice how he didn't give her his customary reassuring shoulder squeeze, because he physically couldn't reach that high, so he shook her hand.

I do like Kellie, and agreed with Simon that she's more pleasing in being her type than last year's winner---much more likable and vulnerable I guess.

Bring on the guys!!!!

jem0622 replied: Mandisa, Katharine, and Paris are my faves. Kellie is cute, but need vocal coaching in a bad way. I liked that Lisa changed her hair do to show a different style...it made me look at her differently (her super curly hair really made her look very young and she is talented but last night was not her best).

Insanemomof3 replied: My 2 favorites are Katherine and Mandisa. I got the McFever!!!! LOL She is awesome! And adorable!

ediep replied: I think Mandisa was the best but I really don't like any of the girls. I always think of it this way.....if she won, would I buy the cd?? Nah, I wouldn't buy any those girls CD.
